There is a correlation, though. I for one was deeply homophobic before I came out of the closet, and it was based on my fear of being labeled gay.
I'd spray it, save the babies, and then continue being atheist.
I wasn't magically transformed into an atheist so I'm not terribly concerned about being magically transformed back.
The "show about nothing" was a fictional, in-universe sitcom called "Jerry". The real show "Seinfeld" was about where a comedian got his material.
I can only hope that the DOJ is investigating her for corruption.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas., laughed at the suggestion, writing on social media Tuesday “why not $500 per hour?”
Assuming he actually worked 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year, Senator Cruz's pay rate, as set by federal law, amounts to around $87 per hour. We know that he doesn't actually do that much work, so it's actually going to be much higher.
If it improves the President's approval rating, doesn't that suggest that it's something Americans need or want?
"[...] I'm not going to do it. Why would I?"
Indeed. Why help the American people, Congressman?
Throw the whole bookshelf at them.
I believe that Scripture, the Bible is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority.
I'm not sure which would be worse: that he didn't think this claim through to its logical conclusion, or that he did and didn't see the problem.
OK, fine. You can be crummy quadrant alpha; we'll be quadrant one.
I have a friend who’s an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don’t agree with very well. He’ll hold up a flower and say “look how beautiful it is,” and I’ll agree.
Then he says “I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing,” and I think that he’s kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is … I can appreciate the beauty of a flower.
At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it’s not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter; there’s also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes.
The fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color. It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don’t understand how it subtracts.
