I find it strange there has been no response from the Cosby camp. I think that says a lot.

Jerry will make sure he plays in London

That's a question for the black community

That's good stuff. I wonder how much it costs and if the government will pay for poor white people's insurance. :D

Local news reported the high amount of shipping traffic from Africa. Just another inlet.

Hippy, as sarcastic as it was intended, it is Obama's view.

I think they're both going toe to toe with mudslinging campaigns which I totally despise. I think Abbot is coming out on top with this type of campaign though.

I think there is a lot of justified over the top hype with Ebola that may not turn into a pandemic. (at this time) I don't think the two healthcare workers that were infected had "sexual contact or swapped body fluids" with the patient.

It's you employers fault for not covering the increase.

Rising insurance costs is a way of life. However, Obamacare was supposed to change that. Be patient. Cost may go down one day. :huh:

Unknowingly, she probably boosted Abbott in the polls.

Freedom of speech doesn't apply to pastors or the pulpit?

A world view can't comprehend any of this.   And apparently this is a topic that can't be discussed from a Houston pulpit.

WOW! I'll hold my thoughts for now.

Too many 'isms for me.

I haven't read the article but unfortunately they probably have the right to go there. As a business you can't, and probably shouldn't, refuse service to Muslims.

I'm sure Obama is not happy with Walmart for not doing their part.

This is a story that still hasn't gotten much media attention. I wonder why?

One more before we get back on topic.   Many believe they are saved because they believe and that is true. But, even more true, his word says that we are called, that he has chosen us to believe. Without being called we have no desire to believe. .

Westend - I understand. My God given brain (as limited as it is) limits my understanding too. I just can't comprehend the complexity of this earth, (whether it's a few thousand or a few billion years old) the universe, man and all living creatures, and the countless wonders of this world accidentally existing without the divine help of His hand; no matter how much scientist try to disprove it with their God given brains.   The brain itself is a brilliantly complex part of our being but God also gives us a soul and spirit to mesh with His spirit. Our brains work much differently when we accept his spirit.   No offense intended.

I don't think any of us can truly grasp a billion year concept. By the same token we can't truly grasp eternity either, which should be the bigger concern. ( - :

I think it's quite the stretch to interpret the organizations post on the district's website as forcing religion on others.   As far as the factual existence of God goes, it is true, there is no concrete proof. There are however many examples to support believing in His existence through faith. One of many; I find it really hard to believe that millions (maybe billions) of people for thousands of years have lived their lives and profess transformation and salvation in a folktale. Doesn't sound likely to me.   As far as our constitution goes, Christians should really take a step back and think "what does God think about man's interpretation and application of our constitution"? JMO - I don't think he's pleased with areas concerning Him and His word.

Our constitution continues to change over time as the SCOTUS changes. The more modernized or liberal the appointees become, the more liberal their interpretation. The same goes for conservative appointees.

HF is just the next target of an organization with an anti-Christ agenda. I think the superintendent has taken the right actions in taking it off the website but still supporting the student's rights. I don't think a lawsuit will happen nor will the program cease. Could the program be assisted with parents or clergy rather than teachers?   It's funny how these things work. The effort to eliminate Christian groups sometimes only makes them stronger.

The media has really downplayed this crime and are slow to report the facts.
