Some will agree to disagree. But the fundamentalists are certainly out there waiting on you.<br /><br />Good Southern greasy fried food will be waiting on you, too.<br /><br />People will deep fry a Twinkie in these parts.<br /><br />I live in what I consider to be the capital of Jesusland.

In the sixth installment of the series, Deepak Chopra, a physician and best-selling author of "How to Know God," and prominent scholar, philosopher and writer Jean Houston, will face-off against Michael Shermer, founding publisher of "Skeptic" magazine, and Sam Harris, author of "The End of Faith" on the tension between God and science.<br /><br />In 2007, the first "Face-Off" tackled the existence of God and pitted actor and evangelical Kirk Cameron and his partner at "The Way of the Master" evangelism ministry against two self-proclaimed atheists. Other past topics include America's addiction to porn, adultery, Satan, and whether it's OK to be fat.World of Factshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066732051794158264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-30838355390204335842010-04-11T22:52:14.355-04:002010-04-11T22:52:14.355-04:00I sometimes delete him, but when people comment on...I sometimes delete him, but when people comment on it, I tend to leave it for context.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504734487692109101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5721082653718997788.post-2079955274535682432010-04-11T20:55:29.887-04:002010-04-11T20:55:29.887-04:00I do not moderate my comments and welcome all inpu...<i>I do not moderate my comments and welcome all input and criticism.

I'm not trying to get into a political battle here, but I've often wondered if some right wing dude like Pat Buchanan came up with that idea that he would have been labeled a racist and that idea would have went no-where. But since it was a liberal idea then it must not be a racist idea? Just some thoughts.<br /><br />Also I'm very glad you got a job. I'm sure it wasn't because of my prayers... but I was praying for you.<br /><br />P.S. Hank Jr. sings a song titled "if the south would have won, we'd have it made".
