| If you don't mind a criticism of born again evangelical theology, I think it's wrong to assume that in order to have true faith you have to be at peace and have no questions. That might work for being a Jedi (check out what Yoda tells Luke in The Empire Strikes Back ), but Christians - at least amon... |

| The remake did not have a closing episode (possibly they were wanting to make another more episodes later) I think the better episodes in the originals are better than the remake, however as the number of episodes kept changing as they were making some (including the concluding two) were written ha... |

| It's official. Rick Santorum is the left's boogyman of the week! :D It's Romney going to war with Santorum, not the left. Just as he went to war with Gingrich last month. Millions of dollars in negative ads are being dumped on him. On this forum, every week or two they christen a new boogyman (or b... |

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer Should that be a problem?
For the conservative electorate who voted him into office, certainly yes.

| What admission? He denied the allegation. Hasn't admitted anything at all. People do make false allegations when they're painted into corners. I'd prefer to wait and see how this plays out before jumping to any conclusions. All this is at this point is he said/he said. He's admitted that he's gay; ... |

I try my best to be a good father, though I'm admittedly far too lenient. Being a parent is a matter of on the job training, and all you can hope for is that ... |

| The Centurions series by Damien Hunter. I really don't know if the three books are even still in print, but when I had read them years ago, I genuinely enjoyed them. Basically, all three novels deal with two half-brothers raised among the aristocracy of first century A.D. Imperial Rome. One is the ... |

Personally, I thought it didn't live up to the original series.

| I went with Obama because he's the least fundamentalist, and thus least likely to force his theology on others (Santorum), isn't hypocritically using religion for the sake of political advantage (Gingrich), or doesn't wear magic underpants (Romney). In other words, he is most likely to encompass my ... |

Unfortunately, short of a time machine, there's no way any of the almost countless theories of Stone Henge can be proven, as it's builders had no written language, and their culture didn't survive into historic times.
