(July 12, 2006) — A transgender Rochester man must provide medical evidence to justify his request to change his first name from Sarah to Evan, a local judge has ruled. Allowing Sarah Rockefeller to change his name without evidence "would be fraught with danger of deception and confusion and...

Just a comment in case anyone here decides to decry Israel's actions for some reason: If your next-door neighbour (Canada) were firing rockets and missiles at you unceasingly for the last 20 years and constantly sending suicide bombers across the border to blow themselves up on buses, would...

Oh really? Most scholars would hold that the different Gospels were intended for different audiences, all non-Christians. The Jewish scriptures include the Tanakh (why don't you start using the proper term?), but that is not the only important book in Judaism... The amount of canonical text...

A more pressing question: Was she actually a witch or was it just that she was different and the Christians didn't like that so they falsely accused her?

You have no authority to tell me I can't speak here. Sorry, but I'm under no obligation to stop talking just because you want me to. I will not leave unless I am instructed by a moderator to do so. The fact that I represent an opinion that is different than yours is not in violation of any...

Here's a better idea: Before we do anything about Venezuela, let's do something about the nations that are actually a threat to us. Like, say, Iran or North Korea.

No, I just represent a point of view that you (and the other Christians on this thread) do not know and do not understand. Jew or not, you don't understand the Jewish view. You are brainwashed into thinking that I'm out to lie or confuse people, something that I'm not. As I recall, Jesus did...

OK. I'm blind from you perspective, but from mine, I can see quite well. That's fine. Hate me all you want. I don't hate you, though. Um, in my body?

Indeed. I have my own meaningful spirituality. Trying to convert me to something else is a waste of your energy that could be better served doing something positive. Nonsense. Jesus wasn't a bad teacher.

We need to maintain our military presence as long as necessary. I don't agree with the reasons this war was started and I think this war was a waste of our resources, though. We're too far in now to go back. Regardless of how invalid our reasons for starting this may have been, we have to see...

Being up-to-date on what's currently going on in the world is funny? You may have misunderstood what I meant. I refuse to read texts that are too old as academic fact. That does not mean I reject their validity outright or that I don't read them at all.

I don't use Windows. Still, it doesn't matter. Proselytizing to me isn't going to work. You're wasting your time because I've already evaluated Christianity and determined it's not for me.

I'm just acknowledging a fact. Hatred doesn't win in the long run.

That isn't the reason either. "Secular authorities"? Secular authorities in the west are typically Christians and generally already have an axe to grind with the Jews. Why don't you cite some educated Jewish sources that claim that Judaism is not Judaism? And... there are denominations of...

I have. It was a good film. I disagree. Are you suggesting that the Jews the Ten Booms saved are all in hell now?

I am familiar, yes. What's your point? One does not need to be a Jew to be a good person. We've already established that.

The Bible establishes this where? Yes, in the creation story, the two participants are straight--what's your point? I'm not mocking you, only acknowledging that there is no rational means by which to claim that any particular religious text is true or. Text-based communication strips a lot...

No amount of hate will stop WorldPride. No amount of conservative idiocy will put a cap on Freedom. We opposed you with Jesus, with the Pharisees, with the American and French revolutions, with the Enlightenment, and now ultimately with modern Liberalism. Conservatives have an awful track...
