Hi Blue, Maybe you did not notice it --but, you have just named the big difference between Creationism and Darwinian Evolution. As you said, God created it all from nothing . And, you said, "Science says that this was all created from almost nothing ." "Almost nothing" implies that there was SOMETHING . Where did that SOMETHING come from? Who created the SOMETHING from which everything else was made according to science? Do yo see the huge hole left in the science explanation? Except for...

Hi Tick, God makes Bill Gates and Warren Buffet look like penniless paupers. God needs nothing from us -- He owns the whole universe. All He asks from us is our love. And, our giving back to God from what He has given us, i.e., tithing, -- to be used in His churches and ministries to help others and to further His Christian faith -- is only showing our love for Him. It is sort of like when you were in college. If Dad sent you money each month to cover your expenses in college -- you knew he...

Here's how I see it: Warren was asked a question about how she paid for college to which she responded, "I didn't take my clothes off." It was clearly a jab at Brown on Warren's part, but it was not a sexist remark. It is a fact that Brown took his clothes off and posed for a magazine to pay for school. Now contrast what she said with what he said about her: Listen to how he said it, and the reaction of the deejays...how they join in and laugh. It does indeed sound more like a bunch of...

However, I believe everyone should pay. Investor's, including the wealthy, who make a profit from sale of shares at a price beyond which they paid, should be taxed at the same 9 percent.

a few tax solutions that could work: 1. Close or modify the loophole that allows people like Warren Buffet to take the bulk of their income as cap gains. WB only pays himself a $100k salary which is why his effective tax rate his lower than his secretary's. While we are at it we could lower the secretary's tax burden too. 2. Close corporate tax loopholes, simply the corporate tax code, and cut our corporate tax rate in half to make it competitive. Companies spend millions upon millions of...

Yes, Nash, I understand that, and I'm not discounting the entire prayer, but as the whole world was watching, I thought he might have been more inline with the concept of social (and even religious/spiritual)solidarity to appeal to the masses(especially the poor and marginalized) to help promote the common good, worldwide.

He's a Christian and as a Christian we're taught that there is only one God. We don't honor or recognize other gods. Besides, I think he sent a great message of acceptance.

Also, he said "to remember that we are Americans, united not by race, or religion, or blood, but to our commitment to freedom and justice for all."

Rich is about where the real tax cuts start above $150,000 / yr, but closer to $250,000 / year. I am not in that group, and I am not the "you" you reffer to whose taxes will probably go up if Democrats are in power. People like Warren Buffett will pay at rates closer to what I am paying, and closer to what his secretaries pay. Could be, those of us not privileged to be in that upper crust will get a tax break.
