I haven't had a POD for a while, but when I saw this post, I had to document it here: Thanks, Godrulz!:first:

Great post, Mr. johncalvinhall! :first:

Simple, sweet, and so true! :first:

Way to handle a newbie looking for a fight! :first:

Has anyone at TOL used an online program called COVA (Colorado Virtual Academy)? I had asked a few people about it and was told it was somewhat "invasive" and that they call you to keep tabs on your child's progress. At first a balked at the idea, but after much consideration, I decided to go...

When it comes to becoming a true Christian, it is both easy and difficult. That might seem contradictory, but let me explain. God has made it very easy to come to Him and to be reconciled to Him. All we have to do is believe that Jesus lived, that He died for us, and that He rose again. Once we...

Great post by Town Heretic on the thread Atheist Billboards! :first:

In Romans 7, Paul makes some interesting comments related to the AoA. He says, “I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.” What does he mean, “I was alive once?” It means he was alive to God. The law had not yet condemned him. But, “when the...

:first: In response to Sealeaf, who said, "Given the long history of male domination and subjugation of women we should be very leary of any attempt to disempower women. If abortion is to made illegal it should be by a vote of women. If a majority of women want to give up this power then so be...

One of the most common arguments against an older AoA is that children do know when they are doing something wrong. If they know that what they are doing is wrong, then it follows that they can be held accountable for their actions and should be punished. But to whom are they accountable? The...

Before I approached anyone with this “new” idea on the age of accountability, I was curious to see if science would be able to back me up. I had studied psychology in college, so I was familiar with research techniques and modern medical equipments that could give us a deeper understanding of...

Several years ago, I was listening to a sermon given by a highly respected pastor and theologian. He briefly touched on a subject that I hadn’t thought much about before; a subject on which he claimed the Bible was silent. The subject he referred to is whether or not there is an age of...

Introduction I am going to present my theory on the Age of Accountability (AoA) in four parts. I'm posting it here, in my personal blog, so that I refer to it in the future. The first part deals with my private journey in understanding what the Bible has to say on the subject. The second part...

Wow! TOL has come a long, long way. I remember back in 1997 when it was first created. There were only a few members at that time, but it was still addictive. I remember going round and round with a member named Winston. Anyone know what happened to him? Anyway, it's so wonderful to see TOL...

People Freguently Are Asking Me Some of My Opinions, Well Here They Are; Gay Marriage: I think that anyone on the face of this earth should be equal, gay or not. Love is love and no one has the power to judge that. I believe that if you are commited to another human being, it doesnt matter...

Hi TOL, Just thought you'd all like to know about the arrival of Ava Quinn, Knight's newest family member and my little niece! She was born around 12:00 this afternoon. She weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and was 20 inches long. Every thing went just fine! Knight is spending the night at the hospital with...

Hi everyone, I would like to make a prayer request for my mom (and Knight’s – he’s my brother). A few days ago, our mom became very ill and was taken to the hospital. The doctors determined that it was a case of acute renal insufficiency due to her medications. They sent her home, but she was...

A little over three months ago, I began a terrifying journey - a journey that is only now coming to an end. What is really frightening, though, is that I am not the only one who has had a similar experience. I have read many stories from others who are still trying to recover after years of pain...
