Jan 29th 2008 8:17PM Everyone has someone obscure and local to add to the list...but how about a glaring national ommission??? Natalie Morales of NBC Hello?

How do you think Meredith Vieira is doing so far? {AOL TV}

Apr 9th 2007 3:56PM Meredith is ok, but Natalie Morales is the face, the grace, the intelligence, beauty and charm of the Today Show!! Ann Curry's melodramatic dronings turn my stomach. Campbell Brown...too awkward visually, literally and figuratively.

Jun 20th 2006 11:53PM Ever notice that a beautiful day is said to be created by God and that foul weather (hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.) is/are attributed to an unfortunate force of nature or that dreaded, "mother-nature", herself. Do we conveniently pass the buck or are we predisposed to give religion the benefit of the doubt. Things that make you go...HMMMMMMM.

Jun 20th 2006 10:55PM As long as we're quoting scripture and searching for the origin of the Bible's anti-gay stance...everybody get the book out and turn to Leviticus, and follow along. Please try to adhere to all it's teachings...here goes...Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it is an abomination. And...
1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and
female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in
Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair
price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in
her period of menstrual "uncleanness?" Leviticus 15: 19-24. The
problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take
offense at the question.

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a "pleasing odor for the Lord." Leviticus 1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus
35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination - Leviticus 11:10 - it is a lesser abomination than
homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?

7. Leviticus 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading
glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Leviticus 19:27. How should they die?

9. I know from Leviticus 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Leviticus 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing
garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester
blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot, and enjoys
listening to Howard Stern on the radio. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Leviticus 24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Leviticus 20:14)

Jun 20th 2006 10:32PM Lisa, we may be getting off message here, but to answer, "where's the nitrogen?" - As I'm sure you are aware, Nitrogen is an inert, diatomic non-metallic gas with a high dissapation and condensation rate under pressure. It is resident in all living tissues, but not necessarily resident at traceable levels in layers of the earth and/or mineral deposits, that pre-date as little as 6000 years. Soup is a wonderful thing, but it is not what we're talking about here. Blind faith keeps coming up in both our remarks. Blind faith keeps anyone inside of the 6000 year box, letting dinosaurs and man roaming the Earth at the same time. By the way, we do have, organic, that is to say, non-man-made dinosaur fossils to prove that they did exist. And rumor has it, that some scientific hacks have them dated a few years before Adam and Eve.

Jun 20th 2006 9:46PM Sorry Lisa, but scientists haven't relied on just Carbon 14 dating for some time now. The science has advanced. It is true that the margin of error increases the further back you go, from an "moe" of a year or two in the hundreds of years, to an "moe" of thousands in millions of years. But that aside, we don't even need to use advanced science, nuclear and carbon dating to break outside of the Old Testament' narrow box, just visit your local rock quarry, ravine or old riverbed to get you back just 25,000 years ago. Grand scale or small scale...it's easy enough to discover. Oh, by the way, the Wright Brothers did fly, and I'm pretty sure God-fearing men walked on the Moon.

Jun 20th 2006 9:21PM Let's simplify the discussion...I will not admire, vote for or agree with any human being on this planet that is ignorant and blind enough to believe that this Universe has a history of only about 5 to 6 thousand years. That covers a lot of folks and a lot of cultures and a lot of religions. We have proof beyond a shadow of any doubt whatsoever of carbon-based lifeforms on this planet well over 250 Million years ago.
