There have recently been suggestions that latent herpes viruses might also be a factor in some forms of dementia. I can't remember the details offhand but I think the virus sticks around nerves and the immune system forms proteins to protect the nerves, and those proteins can accumulate in plaques, ...

:rotflmao: Boris Johnson turned away from polling station after forgetting to bring photo ID :snippity: Johnson has (I think) largely dropped out of current news so he will be happy to get the publicity. He doesn't feel the shame or embarrassment that a non-sociopathic person would in that ironic s...

Genuine question, what is not pews? (So to speak.)

Benches? Seats? I never attended lectures in hermeneutic eschatology so some major issues escape me.

So sad.

I was thinking "I don't remember what this case claims to be about." On the basis that others might be thinking the same, here's a extracts from a reality-based Salt Lake Tribune piece quoted in an earlier post by Luke : The suit, which leans on baseless claims of fraud in the 2020 electio...

Vomitory versus egress versus exit versus way out.

I'm not sure I understand this game.

You'll be disappointed. He's wearing the heavy duty diaper today.

Yeah, but they all say that. :confuzzled: No. Not all have that amalgam of tolerance but complete denial. Plenty of sects have condemned other sects as unchristian or heretical over the centuries and now. Plenty. Getting excited and arguing bitterly about whether the wafer transubstantiates or cons...

My Russian Orthodox cleric smiled through his big white beard and agreed when I told him my understanding of the Orthodox sects' view of other sects is "We respect other denominations' interpretations and practices. But they are all wrong."

Are we to expect a drive-by posting from Pastafarian evangelists complaining about these insults to la cucina italiana? I was briefly chatting this morning with a Russian Orthodox cleric about the dating of gospels (I had little to contribute and he didn't care much, but German scholars do) so in th...

Thanks folk, interesting and thoughtful perspectives. I'm all in favor of people expressing themselves and I certainly believe it's fine for me to simply dislike drag, just as it's fine to dislike genres of music, styles of painting, architecture, food, etc. while I'm not suggesting they should be d...

You still look good for that condition.

Well, to be a born-again Christian…

Re Kitara et al.: am I alone in having a deep distaste for drag artistry in general? I think my dislike stemmed from the first few drag artists I saw seeming to be unlikable people, and I perhaps transferred my dislike of thosr individuals to the genre. But even now, whenever I see drag artists on t...

If you're using the words "real evidence" in their correct sense, of course not! Horse droppings masquerading as Taitz-style eblidense is the best they ever had. We never did get to see that super-secret report they commissioned by - if my memory doesn't fail me - an Italian consultancy. T...

Wow! King James VI was amazingly prescient. The bible edition that bears his name was commissioned in 1604 and first published in 1611, 176 years BEFORE the US Constitution was written, in 1787. :fingerwag: I'm no theologian or apologist but I don't think the compilers of the KJV considered themsel...
