Actually, I think that 300 is a better idea. With so many, none of them would get to know you well enough to bust your hump over your bad habits. With only ten, all of them would know everything and you'd live in misery for the rest of your days.

The wisdom of Solomon is not a myth, it would seem.

Ten submissive wives would be ok with me, 300 would be alright, just how to pay all the alimoney...lol...

What came first the chicken or the egg?

How do plants exist without bugs in the soil, and bugs in the soil without plants producing oxygen?

There are no atheists in foxholes

Underlying the evolutionary theory is not just the classic "stuff" of science — conclusions arrived at through prolonged observation and experimentation. Evolution is first an atheistic, materialistic world view. In other words, the primary reason for its acceptance has little to do with the evidence for or against it. Evolution is accepted because men are atheists by faith and thus interpret the evidence to cor-respond to their naturalistic philosophy.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. II Timothy 4:3,4

II Thess. 2:11 And for this cause God shall
send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

You can not see the 'wind', but you can see its effect!!!!

Evolution was caused by genetic mistakes at each stage?

Radical Evolution has 500 million years to find fossils of fictional drawings of (hard core)missing links, yet they find none.

We have not seen such moral darkness since the dark ages, coencides with
teaching evolution in schools. (Moral darkness)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, EPH 6:12.

"Thus, many scientists embracing naturalism find themselves in the seeming dilemma recently articulated by biochemist Franklin Harold: "We should reject, as a matter of principle, the substitution of intelligent design for the dialogue of chance and necessity [i.e., Darwinian evolution]; but we must concede that there are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical system, only a variety of wishful speculations."

Oh man.... I would have gone wearing a shirt that said, "You are all wrong" in big bold letters.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

I myself, find submissive women to be boring. I prefer someone I can not just talk to, but discuss things with. If all I hear is an echo of my own opinion, what's the point?

You would hate my daughters. I brought them up right!

To clarify, you brought them up right, as you see it.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

If you're only interested in submissive wives, then perhaps you should look into the Japanese mail order bride business. Round these parts, we teach our women that they are intellectual equals.

I prefer to take filthy's post as saying that he didn't do to his daughters what verlch would likely do to his.

Geez, that's a scary thought: verlch, do you have any daughters?

I think it's particularly comical that verlch equates having a wife to paying alimony. It's almost as though for him, part of marriage is divorce!

Well, marriage is a part of divorce - the first step, in fact.

Of course, verlch's attempt to pass off his comment as a joke aside, his is a pretty sad view of a God-ordained institution for a Christian to take.

Well, as we're between verlch comments, it's time for another sign:

THE YOKE OF GOD WON'T FIT
A STIFF NECK

Someone on another forum told me about that one. Knowing a fair number of the born-again faithful, I wonder how ridged a neck must be to be considered 'stiff'. And why submiting to a yoke like a draft animal is a desirable way of life.

Took me a while to exhume the corpse of this thread and a bit longer to ressurect it. Thought it'd be worth while though, 'cause I found this neat sign at Rotton.com:


FAITH SEES GOD,
INTELLECT DOES NOT.
