“Is God willing to prevent suffering from cancer, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh the suffering from cancer? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

14733. Guess what?
If you are talking the Christian God, God created NATURE. God created heaven, earth and all the creatures on it. Then again, God created man and woman SUSCEPTIBLE to cancer. The God or creation could have created humanity impervious to disease of all sorts, but did not. If there is a God of creation, I most certainly can blame all the suffering on that God, because God created everything,

bona dea Wrote: > I said 'not > all Christtians believe in Noah's Ark' and that is > true. Yet, as I pointed out in another post, the majority of Americans DO belief in Noah's Ark, and that makes it reasonable for the issue to be raised repeatedly regardless of your, bona, claims that it is preaching to the choir. If the majority of Americans believe in Noah's Ark as literal truth

According to the prop 8 "defendants", the constitution should only apply to people that have sued and won a case. It seems, according to the "defendants", that if someone sues the state over a particular law and that law is found unconstitutional, well, it should only be unconstitutional for the person that won the lawsuit. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/09/pr

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2004/feb/16/20040216-113955-2061r/ "Sixty percent believe in the story of Noah's ark and a global flood, while 64 percent agree that Moses parted the Red Sea to save fleeing Jews from their Egyptian captors." Seems there is plenty of reason to be debunking the bible.

I found postmormon.org relies to much on image for my taste. Those nice photos they show of all those happy people are not exmormons, they are models. Sorry, but that sort of image game is too reminiscent of the way TSCC works for me. They say they can not afford professional quality pictures, so what? What is so important about image that it has to trump reality? They have plenty enough people o

We can now use a screen name that is different from our user name. This is done in the control panel under edit profile. Be warned, once you start using a screen name, you can not edit posts done while you were not using the screen name.

I may be wrong, but my understanding is exmormon.org does not accept contributions. Send a note to the admins to verify this. As far as I know, donations to the Exmormon Foundation, while it would help the cause of exmoronism, would not help this board.

I didn't make it into the forums thought. I just saw that they were still using those fake family pictures (the people in the pictures are not exmormons, they are models) and left. TSCC is based on and the masters of being fake and I want to get away from that sort of fake, "the image is more important than the reality" BS.

After you edit one of your messages, the board will append the message with something like "Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 09/16/2010 10:41PM by mj." It would still might be nice to add the word "Edited" to the subject line, but I like that the fact that it shows a message has been edited is a nice feature.

OK, as we get used to the new board, how about a place where we can share some of the tips and tricks that we find? I think it could help us all adapt a bit faster. Here are a couple that I have notices: 1: On the old board, you had to do a search on a username to find all the posts by that person. Now, some of the names (I think its those that are logged in) while in a tread (not the thread l

14755. I hear ya.
Many of the tasks I do are simple and I do not need or want a lot of bells an whistles. Take word processing for example. I don't need 95% of what is in the newest word processors, so the old word processors work great for me. I use Linux, in part, because I can drop down and use the command line to do work that is easier to do on a command line. Newer does not always make it better. More

And all the time and effort in keeping it running. I have to admit that it will take some time for me to feel at home with the new look, but so far I think it's great.
