That's correct, belief in God does not measure biblical literacy. A good many atheists are very well acquainted with the bible, and can offer cogent exegesis of its contents, even if they don't believe a word of it.

And they would have done it with the oil Russia sold them under Molotov-Ribbentropp. The Russians didn't give two shits about Nazi mass murder until the chickens came home to roost. So spare me the savior complex.

I live in the deep heart of the "bible belt", and while this has been my first experience meeting young-earth creationists, I can still count all I know on one hand. I would not say that all the Big-Bang "doubters" are YEC. There has to be something else.

It was slightly more accurate in its time. Since then, the English language has drifted quite a bit in the last 400 years. My criticism of KJV readers has always been that they are reading a book written in a language they do not understand.

We have no interest in the Ukraine. This is true. We do, however, have interest the resurgence of Russia as an international antagonist. If we can stop Ukraine from entering into the Russian fold, we can put a kink in the establishment of the Eurasian Union (tentatively with Ukraine, Georgia, and Azerbaijan), which would otherwise negatively impact our economic clout.

Fact is, in an almost totally globalized economy, almost everyone has an interest (either direct or indirect) with every event in the world, whether you like or approve of it or not.

What, exactly, is obsolete about the 1911? It's still one of the best, most reliable guns you can buy.

How can I quote "Do no evil" sarcastically? I need a different headline.

The word "rabid" does come to mind, but not for GP.

This is getting tedious. America has had more guns than people since Euros first stepped foot on it 500 years ago. If guns haven't turned the US into a lawless Mad Max apocalyptic wasteland by now, chances are it isn't going to anytime soon.

Oh wait you mean the real solution is too hard so you have to have to run and hide under so called gun rights?

And WTF does it even mean to "run and hide" under gun rights? This is histrionic babble.

Fascism has a very specific meaning that excludes Stalin and Mao. It is not a general term meaning "autocratic assholes." We already have a term for that: autocratic assholes does pretty nicely. They were Big-C Communists. And they were autocratic assholes. The problem with /.'ers is they confuse communism on a whole with their own particular favorite flavor of anarcho-communism, and then pronounce the others No True Scotsmen.

Because in the military you get your ass chewed out for failure. In the public school you get a Participation Award.

I understand what he meant. I was commenting because he was apparently ignoring the overwhelming weight of historical and archaeological evidence that says the Jews/Hebrews/Peoples-Front-Of-Whatever came from exactly where they said they were. This isn't a because-the-bible-or-torah-said-so thing.

If you have new scholarship that presents a different ancestral homeland of the Jews, then by all means let's hear it.

Agreed. No one has spoken a word of Latin in common conversation almost 1600 years, and is ipso facto a dead language.

It was fun enough for me to play twice. I got to the highest difficulty, hit the brick wall, and called it quits. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth, though. And the gameplay was pretty frikkin' fun.
