On the first page of this discussion you (Atheist) made a comment about junk DNA. There is an article on www.godandscience.org about this junk DNA and how it may actually serve a purpose. I'm not sure if this issue has been addressed previously because I haven't looked at this entire thread. If it h...

What's the difference between #3 and #4? So far I'm the only one who voted for #3 :oops: Maybe I meant #4!? Well, I never taught my kids to expect stuff from Santa which was a little tricky because their cousins believed in him, plus they went to public school. I had to teach them about letting othe...

i am very like you-- i have never been a person to hold grudges, and i don't get offended easily, sometimes to the irritation of my family or friends(who sometimes think i should be more offended than i am over certain things). further, i guess no one has ever hurt me very very badly, at least to t...

Hi Homer, Thanks for answering. That was a good illustration. So, if I understand what you are saying, it's not how difficult it is, nor how fast you are at forgiving, there still is a "cost." A few years ago I sat through a sermon on forgiveness and it sent me reeling, although probably not the way...

In another thread Homer posted these statements: To my mind, forgiving always entails a cost for the forgiving party. If this is true, how would one internalize this cost?
