See, this is what I dislike about fundamentalists. Nobody has any right to teach a faith to someone who doesn't want to learn it. It's aggressive and hurtful, and gives a bad image to all people of faith.
I'm not so sure 'incompatible' is the right word, since there are many scientists with religious beliefs. Perhaps 'unconnected' is better. Otherwise, I agree.
Christ never named any Bishops. That concept has been created by the Catholic church. Christ had 12 or 13 buddies who he taught about living well and loving/serving your fellow man. Dogma, churches, bishops, cardinals, popes, etc. all came later, and were NOT the teachings of Christ.
Rob,
I'm sure you have a blog somewhere. This is "News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters." Not "The Whiny Blog of Rob Malda." Seriously. Go post this somewhere else, and quit posting stories that serve no purpose other than to get pageviews for your ads.
Sincerely,
Everyone who saw through this article
The students could win this legal fight because of one technicality: While Pope John's school handbook does not specifically forbid students from creating personal profiles on Web sites, it does prohibit students from posting anything on the Internet pertaining to the school, without the school's permission.
If they aren't explicitly banning bloging in their handbook, but they are doing it anyways, then they're NOT enforcing their rules - they're overstepping their bounds.
I don't think that makes sense. I've never agreed with the church's opinion that they could forgive sins that weren't done against them. (I'm not Catholic, either.) It seems to me that the only people qualified to forgive sins here are 1) Christ, and 2) the victims of the molestation. Part of being a moral person, in my opinion, is being able to overcome your anger and forgive those who wrong you. That whole "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us" thing.
No, actually. Religion isn't about control. Religion draws people in who realize that they can get power over others by pretending to be more pious. It isn't that religion is meant to control people, it's that people abuse religion to control people. Religion is okay; religious PEOPLE can be bad. Further, if you don't like dogmatic beliefs, religion can be bad, while faith - a personal belief - is okay.
Exactly. Rather than fire them or turn them over to the proper authorities, the Church simply shifted them to another diocese - for example, those in Alaska.
I'm surprised this hasn't received more mainstream coverage in the U.S. I've heard nothing from CNN, Headline News, Fox News, or MSNBC about this. I don't get CBC or BBC News here, so I don't know if they've covered it. Something with such wide-sweeping effects really should be getting an appropriate amount of attention.
Also, absent from most MS EULAs is an explanation of the fact that you can only activate a certain piece of software a limited number of times. When I had to reactive my (legal) copy of Visual Studio.NET 2003 over the phone, I read over the entire EULA. It never mentions that you can only automatically activate it a few times, just that you have to activate it.

Didja ever think that trying to "unify" quantum theory with other theories is sort of like trying to "unify" the Bible with evolution?
/just sayin'
When did this ever have anything to do with the Republicans?

Ha ha!
Holy shit.

If only I could hack the Gibson, I'd have the power I needed to crack the verifier.

Actually, "Life is too complex to have evolved" is a hypothesis, as there is no evidence to back it up.

You know, I'd be more inclined to agree with you if your name didn't imply grievous bodily harm.
You mean they haven't completely reversed their positions since yesterday? How shocking!
He may not do it often, but when he posts PERSONAL narratives on a NEWS site, he's pandering to the advertisers. Period.

See, this is what happens when we let people call Linux distrIbutions "distros". The word dissolves completely.
