Big Red, because I last forever.

So, I type out all of that, and all I get are more baseless accusations that "the Church was involved in nasty stuff" it's "cruel," and a bunch more yelling. You sound extremely opinionated, so after this post, I'm not going to post in this thread, because I feel like I'm wasting my time. I...

Let me go line by line through this. Your opening line, in your fist post, was ''I feel like getting flamed, so here we go'' How I would interprete that is that you know that what you are about to post will cause an emotional response but you're gonna do it anyway Now that's fine, I've got...

It doesn't sound like you read my post or any of the sources I put up. Those were all from secular researchers. Instead you vaguely mention "the wider inquisition" and bring up the old, tired legends of exotic tortures. Read some real research on this stuff, not just airport bookstore...

Whoa, kind of an emotional response. All I said was that the guy wrote alien conspiracy theory books. He's also a 9/11 conspiracy theorist, too. That's well documented. Don't get mad at me for, as you say, "going by the facts" to judge his credibility. Vatican Observatory: Now, I've...

Wasn't "Rule by Secrecy" written by Jim Marrs? The conspiracy theorist who wrote books on aliens? Not disputing anything you wrote, just saying...

Take up a Serious Hobby You're an intellectual and you know how you use your mind, so you'd rather not take breaks from it. You can always think out a situation and know what needs to be done. The only thing that frustrates you is not being valued. Our Potentially Ridiculous Hobby Suggestion...

I feel like getting flamed, so here we go: The Spanish Inquisition: The shortest summary: -The Inquisition was started to ferret out crypto-Jews (i.e. Jews posing as Catholics and going to church) -It had little to do with Protestants, since there were almost none in Spain -The Inquisition...

I guess my post was a little off topic. Yeah, this kind of thing annoys me a lot, but I usually just try to cut to the chase be giving them an opening. Like they'll ask "So uh, how was your weekend?" and I'll say "Oh, it was alright. Saw a movie and had some good Indian food. What's up?"...

This x 100,000.

At my office we have a head teacher who isn't trained in management. He just says stuff like "Hey Lex Orandi, I didn't get that spreadsheet yesterday, could you get me that spreadsheet by the end of the day?" and I say, "Yeah, sure thing," and that's the end of it. I don't know why people get...

I've been thinking about my current and prior relationships lately... the girl I've been with for two years is an ESFP, and my previous two year relationship was with an ESFJ. As I'm typology-ignorant, I have no idea how these types would conflict. Should I try to seek out types closer to my...

This statement implies that ethics can't be looked at scientifically, and are thus subjective. This leads to moral relativism. I see your point. But on what grounds is the pleasure derived from eating Big Macs not worth the damage it causes to health? Is health the most important thing...

So you're both admitting that morals are subjective? Sai: Why would you "kick my ass" unless you felt that me taking your wallet was wrong (which implies I'm doing something I shouldn't be)? I believe that taking your wallet is right. And if my morality is equal to yours what right do you...

So does anyone else watch the best cartoon on TV? And was anyone else annoyed at the last episode with the fire princess? What a lousy cliffhanger of a season finale. : P
