Not that my mama ever told me about.

That's not anger. It is a firey smile.

It has been my experience in my long life that Christians are no better or worse than anyone else. I would bet that if you could take a statistical sample of professed Christians (or of any sub-set such as "Born Again Believers", "Evangelicals", etc) and measure then against society as a whole...

My second son moved out years ago, leaving my wife and I with blessed quiet - for a while. Then he moved back in three years later, out again a year after that and then back six months later for just a month. Since then he has been living with his girlfriend/fiance'. But I suspect they are...

But don't you think it even a little bit queer that this almighty deity created mankind just to glorify himself and to be able to have an eternity with billions of his created beings gathered around praising him? And if I (or you) don't think it is really a heavenly idea to spend an enternity...

While growing up my mother was a devout Baptist and reminded us almost daily that the "signs and portents" pointed to Christ's imminent return. The preacher from the pulpit preached hellfire and damnation and of course that "God is love", seeing no contradiction at all in a deity who was so...

I have come to believe that most "modern" religions, especially Abrahamic ones, are simply a case of the downtrodden and oppressed, bereft of the ability to better their poor miserable existence, had to cling to the fact that they would triumph in the end and that those who maltreated them would...

Then try the Ahura Vesta, The Analects, THe Vedas, Bahgavad Ghita, the Tao Te Ching. All are "Holy Books", many predating biblical scriptures and none are Abrahamic. There are more as well. None are "Anti-Biblical", all are just as devoutly regarded as the Bible. Which one(s) are right...

Anti-American jibes here get tiresome.

Of course the moon landing was a hoax! Everyone knows the moon is made of green cheese and all they supposedly brought back was rocks.

Nope. The New Testament is attributed to those authors. The earliest known manuscript are fragments of John's writings, called the the John Ryland's manuscript, was written circa 125 AD. Most of the known manuscripts of the New Testament date from about the 10th Century. Hardly eye witness...

Ummm.... it is mentioned in ONE book so how can you say it was witnessed by many people. If I write here "the moon turned green with yellow stripes last night and it was witnessed by many people." that does not make it a fact. All writings about the origins of Christianity date from the second...

Wow! That's a game I haven't heard of. How do you play hockey from a pickup truck?

Can you post the code that is giving you the error?

It's the Rope Theory. You know the old saying... give a universe (or a deity) enough rope...

But again a DoubleClick is counter-intuitive in a user interface IMHO.

I wouldn't do a DoubleClick as that is counter-intuitive for a user (buttons are normally single-click controls). Instead I would code the OnClick event with something like: If tbTimeNow.Value.Length > 0 then [TimeOnScene]=tbTimeNow.Value Else tbTimeNow.Value=Time() [TimeOnScene]=tbTimeNow.Value...

Good grief! Did I start this with my mention of the String Theory? I shoulda said "ropes". Yeah, that's what I meant. Ropes! The universe is being pulled apart by ropes. No God needed but if there is one, then I am sure He is helping pull.

I don't know. You will have to ask someone well acquainted with String Theory.

The universe is expanding because everything is attached to those "strings" I keep hearing about and those strings are pulling everything apart. Yeah, that's the ticket. See how easy that was?
