If they really wanted to learn, they would actively allow and encourage the "questioning" of their faith/beliefs. They would also at least learn about another religion;
Duh, that's exactly what we do at seminary. Are people really that ignorant about what Christians study? If we wanted to be closed minded and ignorant, we wouldn't need to go to school to learn more!
I'm a seminary student, and though you joke, the biblical studies students I mentioned this too all got really excited and started drooling. I am sure that tools like these will be applied to the Bible soon, though I actually doubt that it will really shed any additional light, since people have been comparing similar phrases and words in the bible for so long. Would be interesting to see if a computer comes up with the same JEDP authors though.
A space rock the size of skyscraper can kill hundreds of thousands of people if it were to smash into a section of the earth where there happens to be a city.
Depending on it's composition, it could do a lot more damage than that.
It would be like making someone smell something and then NOT hitting them in the head with the pipe, but later, they think they remember being hit with the pipe even though they really weren't.
flamebait? really?

Right... but all of that is contingent upon the first sentence:
The way you normally hear this story is all about the labels.

Make sense?
is there a particular reason this was a reply to my comment?
The way you normally hear this story is all about the labels. Some lady didn't know that coffee is hot, and she sued McDonald's for not putting a little "caution: hot!" label on it. Now they do, and that solves that. But the fact that it was really about the coffee being too hot, and the solution involved not just a label, but an actual reduction in temperature makes this seem a lot more reasonable.
Those little warning labels on coffee cups still seem absurd to me though.
maybe people will stop trying to get me to join their iPhone app team on the promise of payment "when it gets big."
Yay! This is our chance to use up all the fossil fuels real quick-like and then by the time the cold spell is over we'll all be using nuclear and solar panels.
It's not actually flightless, though it does spend most of its time on the ground.
Um, it's not funny, it should be insightful. Adding this line should fix the problem.
Function reject.
