What the... I didn't even type the word!  The joke wasn't even ABOUT the untyped word, it was about writing style, and you deleted my comment about that, too.  And you actually deleted the name of a type of dog???  I'm going to play it safe and just post a picture of this bird without saying its...

In fact, according to the hypothesis of evolution, if homosexuality was genetic, wouldn't the genetic trait have died out by now?  ;) Actually, this is a good argument for NOT asking or expecting homosexuals to deny their impulses.  If they can stick to being homosexual ONLY, then the world...

Ever wonder why God so loved such seedy characters, like Jacob and to some degree even David (and others)?  Maybe it demonstrates that God doesn't love you because you're such a "good" person who dresses up for church every Sunday and never drinks alcohol or watch anything but a G-rated...

The first few chapters of Mere Christianity convinced me that Jesus was not only real, but that he is God.  Until that point, I was an agnostic coming around to the idea that God is real.  Before that, I was a full-fledged anti-Christian atheist.  And way before that, I was a Greek Orthodox...

Maybe it's one of those things like getting sued by a corporation.  The corporation is the plaintiff in the lawsuit, but in practice, you wrestle with the lawyer(s).

I've also changed my mind from discussions on Internet forums, this one included, and it was an immediate change because someone presented compelling evidence that contradicted my view.  I even take the time to say so, when it happens.  "Sticking to your guns" just for the sake of doing so, is...

Ransom, with a wig and his necessary phallic symbol (sort of like how undersized men need to buy huge trucks):

Yes, exactly.  I have homosexual friends, and they're great friends, and I get along with them as well as some of my straight friends.  So I'm not saying this to put down gays.  But I'll believe homosexuality is genetic when they identify the "gay" gene.  It's probably located right next to...

As a writer/editor, I nearly busted a rib on the "I s.... <FSSL edit: of course you did... keep it clean>

I believe Jacob wrestled with Hulk Hogan.  It was all fake, though. 

Maybe it was just lack of sleep, but I was in tears laughing over some of these.  Warning: Some profanity.  http://www.smosh.com/smosh-pit/photos/times-tumblr-hilariously-explained-english-language

If "day" in Genesis 1 can only mean a 24 hour day, then Daniel's 70 weeks must have meant 70 literal weeks of 24 hour days.  Is the "Day of the Lord" going to occur in one 24 hour day?  Just to repeat:  I have no problem with the possibility that it was 7 literal 24 hour days. (Although they...

There are lots of problems with radiometric dating.  I used to argue about it on some other Christian forum.  I forget now the name of the method they argued was infallible, but there were both logical and empirical data contradictions even with that model.  We still don't have a clue how...

Over the past 300 years, the scientific conclusion of the age of the earth has gone from roughly 6,000-10,000 years (based on population growth, I think) to 20 million years (Lord Kelvin) and lots of other estimates eventually reaching 4.6 billion years.  So the earth has aged roughly 4.6...

I rule out the idea of "God faked an old earth", too.  But I'm also not convinced by the scientific conclusion that the earth is X billion years old.
