Confused might think that I am a computer geek (I do list JavaScript and CSharp as second languages), but I have never actually used the chat rooms. This is a debating site, and I feel that debate is better when we take the time to formulate our points rather than work in real time. I could be wrong or I could just be slow.

Anyway, welcome. We'll get along just fine as long as you know the difference between there and their and know where to put an apostrophe. ;)

OUCH!!!! This is our very own grammar cop. He is a great guy though. And he is very accurate about my grammar.

Welcome thinkaboutit. Glad to have you with us. I'm sure you'll get used to the place pretty quickly and you'll be an expert like the rest of us before much longer. ;)

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.

Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.

There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.

Every once in a while, you see a sense of humor in some of our most intelligent members. Cherish it because they will eat you alive if you aren't careful, LOL.

BTW: Don't worry about your tickets. Just toss them in the garbage, if he comes for you, I will protect you, umm, maybe.
