Here's something I really like from John that was pointed out in this year's Easter sermon:

Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. 2 She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, “They have taken the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”

3 Peter and the other disciple started out for the tomb. 4 They were both running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.

A comment about how it was quite funny one of the things that's sure to be mentioned is not just that "the other disciple" is the one whom Jesus loved, but also that he ran faster than Peter and made it to the tomb first. And then that it's even funnier when you consider that he's the one who wrote the book.

Does your church teach that John and Jesus were gay? (Seriously, there are people who actually believe that.)

Trace/Trace. A Fundie Atheist isn't going to win.

By Fundie atheist I mean someone who believes religious people are stupid, evil, or both, and Penn Jillette believes that.

Currently, there are 12. How many in 2016, 3 years away and the next presidential election?

FF.

I haven't been in a Spanish classroom in 3 years.

Did anyone else think of  BushOklahoma?

How is Lenin losing?

My feelings exactly, especially considering how many people on here are big lovers of Eugene Debs.

Anyway, if it's a US election, Thatcher/Thatcher.  If it's a global one, Thatcher/Lenin.

What does he have to do with Leninism?

Don't you mean "Atlasos del Latinos"?

Americans trying to look cool by speaking comically bad Spanish are the worst thing in the world.

"Latinos del Atlas?"

Celebacy.

I don't think most atlasians today get the "Troll and Sociopath" option

[creationism]

Neutral. I do not subscribe to it, but it makes perfect sense for a Theist to believe in it, and contrary to creationism etc. it does not constitute an overstep of religion into the realm of science.

Theistic Evolution IS creationism.

Positive (Theist)

Also, 'compromise between faith and science' is a horrible way to put it.

That is essentally what Theistic Evolution is. What could be a better way to put it?

Don't you mean "Atlasos del Latinos"?

Why is Lenin winning?

Also, Thatcher being tied with BRTD amuses me for some reason.

Either John Paul II or Satan.

That's an unusual vote decision.

Having seen all these "Margaret Thatcher vs. X" threads, I decided to pit those X's against each other, all at the same time. (Which odly includes Thatcher herself)


What is your pick from this crazy field?

A few days ago my parents were complaining about how they're the bad guys now that homosexuality is more accepted. Well I do live in a redneck area. (Although my parents are anything but rednecks.)

Do your parents oppose ssm as mine and my siblings do?

Probably, but my dad once replied "that's stupid" when I told him Maine banned SSM (Question 1 I think) and he did say "what's wrong with equal rights for homosexuals" several years back at some anti abortion thing. Plus he had a gay roommate in college.

So I don't know where dad stands. Mom was the one who started the conversation, so she's probably an opponent. My sister loves Glee, do chances are she does.

Define "worthy". Certainly (at least by balance of probability) every President bar Harrison (YES INCLUDING JAMES GARFIELD ) has done something as bad as what Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson got impeached for. I highly doubt a majority of Presidents have done something the Founders would have considered worthy of impeachment, however.

I did. now tell me the "high crimes" that every president other than William Henry Harrison has done. Everyone from Washington to Obama.

People say this, most recently Sanchez in the Nixon thread, and several Libertarians as well. But no one has stated reasons for ALL 43 presidents (INCLUDING WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON) should have been impeached?

Now, please tell me 43 "high crimes and Mr. Meaners" (I always wanted to say that) that all of the presidents have done to deserve impeachment.

You could consider Zachary Taylor a possibility, given he went from complete un-involvement in politics to being President thanks to the Mexican-American War. Teddy Roosevelt's rise from "guy that had to appease Hanna for an appointment" to VP within four years might also be of note, though he'd had a good deal of involvement previously and someone had once joked that TR should run in 1896 (his first possible year).

At first I haven't consider Taylor, given he wasn't Mr. Obscure due to his military career, but you are right. He was so uninvolved, he never voted in a presidential election, even for himself.

Graznt and Eisenhower weren't politicians either.

What songs did you guys sing?

What? No Timberlake?

Phail.

Enough about the states. Let's talk about Puerto Rico, North Mariana Islands, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa in the battle for SSM

So any predictions on these 5 territories?

I don't really know. Only Constantie himself knows, and he's been dead for hundreds of years.

You know, I'd be fun if Cathcon did a ranking of the presidents after this finally ended.
