Leo replied to Skycomet the Fallen Angel's discussion '"Well Jesus came to tell us that we were interpreting God's word wrong."'"I didn't recognize the passage either, but it has nothing to do with ignorance. It is because no where in Mark or any of the Bible does this occur - "Heck, in Mark Jesus was even critical that the Jews ignored the commandment of killing…"
Leo commented on Gaytor's blog post 'Sociology is Concluding Religion is Unhealthy for Society'"The author of the paper is not a sociologist, and judging from his CV he doesn't even hold a degree. He is an illustrator and a freelance paleontologist. Seems he did some work for the Jurassic Park movie as well, but I won't hold that…"
Leo commented on Gaytor's blog post 'Christianity in Africa = pouring acid down kids throats'""Christians. Stay out of developing countries with your message."
Easy and comfortable for you to say as a member of the most spoiled, well fed, and housed society existing on the planet.
How many houses have you built in Central…"
Leo commented on Ed Joseph's blog post 'Simpler than you think'"Considering this wealth of information in the past few posts, I feel very comfortable with my "clouded" logic."
Leo commented on Ed Joseph's blog post 'Simpler than you think'"@ Ed - So is it just my logic about the existence of God that is clouded or my logic in general?
I'm still curious about your astrology position, do you believe/practice (whichever term you prefer) it?"
Leo commented on Krysis's blog post 'Sludged over Metaphors?'"The problem with reading the Bible to justify your position rather than actually trying to understand is that you will never truly understand. This holds true for believers and non-believers.
Reading it in this manner gives you comfort as you…"

"'Many Nations' -
"After Nebuchadnezzar’s attack of the city “a period of great depression” plagued the city which was assimilated into the Persian Empire around 538 B.C. (Fleming, p. 47). In 392 B.C., “Tyre…"
Gaytor left a comment for Leo"Leo, I've been thinking more and more about our exchange. Not the points of it because I of course am never wrong. :-) I have a monopoly on being right! I commented to Dan that I really want to be welcoming to theists, but I allow myself to be…"
Leo commented on Reggie's blog post 'Corpse on a Toilet'"@Dave And where does this "education" come from? Adults are typically too lazy to think critically and the schools certainly aren't teaching the kids to do so."
Leo replied to Sarah Fonto's discussion 'Religious apartheid in the on-line homeschool community.'"A survey about home schooling from the Department of Education, interesting."
Leo commented on Reggie's blog post 'Corpse on a Toilet'"So if we get rid of religion, we get rid of con men/women ("warped" or otherwise) taking advantage of "gullible" people? Does that mean we get rid of "gullible" people as well? Or are they the cause of religion and not…"
Leo replied to Sarah Fonto's discussion 'Religious apartheid in the on-line homeschool community.'"At least in the US, the majority of homeschooling is done for religious reasons
I would disagree based upon personal experience. My kids are home schooled, but the decision was made primarily for non-religious reasons. The current state of the…"
Leo commented on William's blog post 'Eternal Consciousness and Eternal Unconsiousness'"Annihilationism is probably the closest thing to thing to eternal unconsciousness for Christians and it is not held as a traditional belief.
Eternal unconsciousness seems like a misnomer to me though. Wouldn't unconsciousness require the…"
Leo commented on Gaytor's blog post 'Mother kills her child at the devil's behest'"@Gaytor Thanks for the discussion.
I apologize to anyone offended by my perceived trivializing of the more important issues of mental illness and the death of the child for the sake of my own arrogance."

- Leo, I've been thinking more and more about our exchange. Not the points of it because I of course am never wrong. :-) I have a monopoly on being right! I commented to Dan that I really want to be welcoming to theists, but I allow myself to be dragged into arguments versus making a point and leaving it alone. I hope that you feel welcome to make your points and we all get to learn from it. I find that I fall into this intellectual pothole on debates with theists and you were the better man in getting out of it on ours. It points out an area of growth I should seek with more sincerity. Thank you.
