Does it bother anyone that having already made the decision, the SC then chose to keep it a secret until just before they break? Why be so cowardly and under-handed about it? It's the kind of thing we've come to expect politicians to do, not judges.

I do think an awareness of 'God' is innate to humanity. And that we do naturally seek to understand it better. Our history would certainly bear that out. Unfortunately, the framers were incorrect in assuming that the universal truths they proclaimed were unalienable and self-evident. In fact...

Sure, but first we would have to decide which concept of God we should seek to know, as there are many depending on where and when we live. Some gods in some cultures were presumed to see human sacrifices as "good". If we lived in those times and places, how would we know any different? Even in...

What do you think I was 'trying'? But first we have to determine what good and evil, are.

You sound like an atheist. :)

I think it's compelling nature IS it's voracity. As is the case with any mythological story we humans have developed and held for many centuries. The problem I have with atheists and "atheist morality" is that so many atheists I encounter think that the physical facts are the only measure of...

God's law (and man's law) says, "thou shalt not steal". But "Bob" might choose to steal a loaf of bread to save the life of a starving child, while "Steve" might choose to steal a loaf of bread and then throw it into the dumpster just to show his stupid friends what a 'bad guy' he is. I don't...

If religious people cannot execute the duties of their political office without defying the limitations of that office and imposing their religious views on those they are supposed to be serving, then they should not be allowed to hold political office, because they will be unable to fulfill the...

I disagree. I think it's all about the spirit within us that drives us to act out selfishly, and destructively (sinfully).

I don't presume to know what God "has". Nor can I make any claims regarding absolutes.

You are free to think/believe as you wish, as are we all. That was my point.

I agree with this judge. I understand why the state bar association wants such information before giving their endorsement, but ultimately, this information is irrelevant. The judge's personal opinions about such issues should have no bearing on his decisions in a court, and if they do, or...

I think it would be unfair to pass such judgment on us if we did not make that choice for ourselves. Which is why the truth cannot be forced upon us. It's up to us to try and seek it out, and then choose to embody it.

Or, so you have chosen to believe.

But still, WE have to decide that this is the case, and to do accordingly, or that it is not the case, and to do according to some other ethical methodology. Ultimately, WE decide what we think is God's will for us, or what other ethical imperative we believe is right for us to live by. And that...

I think even God has deemed that every human has to determine for him/herself what is morally and ethically right and what is not. Otherwise, it would be exceedingly unfair for God to judge us for choices that we DIDN'T make.

Blacks may be losing their allegiance to the Democratic Party, but that doesn't mean they will support the Republican Party.

And yet, what? I am not in any of those photos.
