Excellent Christmas story!!! Thanks for sharing it here! It reminded me of back when I was a junior high and high school kid in the 80s, and I read one Vietnam novel or memoir after another. It's been so long, and my memory isn't the greatest, that the only title I can remember is Chickenhawk...

I just LOVE old stuff like this! Thanks for posting the link, Gareth! I don't know what was more entertaining, watching Mike Wallace extolling the virtues of Parliament cigarettes' recessed filters, or hearing him attempting to cross-examine Maj. Keyhoe with the claim we've heard recently on...

I agree. I've worked a little bit with county-level law enforcement and human services, and it's always quite an education. The average citizen would not sleep well at night if he knew about the kinds of sick, disturbed individuals who are living right next door. The human mind seems...

This video isn't an examination of the Mayan calendar, but rather a fun little commentary on how one moviemaker took advantage of his stature within the film industry to use the 2012 topic as a vehicle for the dissemination of his particular worldview in theaters throughout the world. Just...

I agree with everyone! You really want to listen to all of the programs if possible. When I first discovered the show, I walked around for so long with my iPod and earbuds that they almost became permanent appendages! I started with the earliest programs and listened to them in chronological...

I don't pretend to be a scholar or some sort of expert on the Church or anything. I'm just a nobody, a "cradle Catholic" who struggles with doubts and my own glaring human failings on a daily basis, just like anyone else. I try to understand my church and my faith as far as my lame brain will...

Okay, just when I thought you were blowing everything I wrote out of the water ... are we essentially in agreement on a point here???? Wow, just a few examples of the suspicion, the cynicism, and the vicious stereotyping of churchmen and their motives that one runs into far too often. Of...

So "real" scientists don't believe that there is such a thing as cause and effect? How can their results be repeatable/provable without such a relationship?

Thanks for the great link!!!!!! Gotta post a picture or two, though of Monsignor Lemaître :)

But there are already plenty of Earthlings who would refute that idea. Why would hearing it from an extraterrestrial being change anything? The idea of a Creator in relationship to Creation has rational philosophical underpinnings in the whole notion of causation. This was at the heart of...

I don't think I'd term what you're probably referring to as "discussions" ... Anyway, people should not be taken by surprise by what this article reports about the scientific inquiry the Church is encouraging; but thanks to relentless anti-Catholic indoctrination, most people have an...

Well that's a GROSS oversimplification of that letter(s) if I ever heard one! That was the MAJOR POINT of 2 Cor.?????? Mostly from the poor ... have any figures on that claim? And does raising money as charity for the poor count as being "interested in money"? Because the Catholic Church and...

So Paul was really the same as Jack Van Impe????? Come on now ... Van Impe has made money off of this stuff for decades. Paul never set any dates or even charged the people who heard him speak. You claim Paul was "selling" Christianity: what exactly was he asking his potential "customers"...

Uhhh ... I thought that the idea was that he himself said NO ONE knows the day or the hour ... that it will come as a "thief in the night" ... so keep your lamps trimmed and don't fall asleep during the watch. But anyway, the day each of us dies is our own personal "End Time"--and as we've...

One night back in the late 80s, when I was a very impressionable teenager, I was flipping around the TV dial (an actual dial) trying to find something entertaining to watch before going to bed. I ran across Jack Van Impe Presents, hosted by Mr. Van Impe and his wife, Rexella. He was so...

Amen to that! Even if you never see something unexplainable, you'll NEVER be disappointed by making the choice to, "Just keep looking up!"

For me, that's one of Life's most bitter pills to swallow: the seemingly random, unpredictable way fates are dealt out. I choked on that one again this year when a colleague of mine found that uterine cancer had come back after surgery and a few months of being seemingly in the clear; and...

I think if you're grounded--if you know who you are, where you came from, and where you're going--then you can "be not afraid" and face anything. But those who have lost their moorings can quickly find themselves lost, tossed around by the waves of murky seas of uncertainty, leading to inner...

I thought I was clear. Gene and Dave kept their cool, didn't tell Mr. Stanford to go soak his head, and kept the show going. Just judging from the sounds of their voices, I appreciated how they handled the situation ... the respect they showed Mr. Stanford even when he wouldn't turn off...
