no, there doesn't. if every single person in a set has an IQ of 100, then the average IQ of that set is 100.

50% of the population having sub-average intelligence and 50% having above-average intelligence is just one possible configuration that would result in the average being whatever it is

He's thinking of median IQ

Also I don't know any atheists or non-Christians who "celebrate" Easter, unless they mean eating the candy.

My atheist mother loves and celebrates all the secular aspects of Easter - the eggs and the chocolate and the bunnies and the pastels. I didn't know that Jesus had anything to do with Easter until I was about eight years old.

Same. And even then it was just a sort of vague awareness, like "you're supposed to go to church on Easter too".

"Fifi! I just found out there is a CHRISTIAN ... oops, sorry, an "xtian" ... who is Clerk in charge of marriage licenses.

Getting marriage and DESTROYING an Xtian, all at the same time??? Let's do it!!!"

More evidence that Jesus will soon return is that at the end of this age Spiritual signs will abound.

Three times in Matthew 24 Jesus warns that the end of this age will see many false prophets claiming to be Christ with a resulting rise in cult followings, misleading many people away from the true teachings of the Bible.

Satanism in the form of witchcraft, New Age, and the occult were prophesied to become mainstream, and so they have. Paul writes in 1 Timothy 4:1 that “the Spirit explicitly says that in the latter times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons.”

You talk about "lukewarm disciples" but you see nothing wrong with the fact she is a WOMAN pastor?! Please show me in the Bible where God says it's ok for a woman to be a pastor! You won't find it anywhere, but in 1Corinthians 14:34-35 and 1Timothy 2:11-12 it says women are to remain SILENT in the church and have no authority over men! I guess that would make this pastor a "lukewarm disciple" and anyone else who clearly overlooks and dismisses her cherry picking. As she said above, there are no grey areas when it comes to God's word!

Yesterday, Donald Trump told Fox Business Channel that he would “ absolutely” support shutting down mosques in America in order to fight ISIS, so naturally American Family Radio’s Bryan Fischer came to the Republican presidential candidate’s defense today, repeating his frequent assertion that the First Amendment applies only to Christians.

“So the question is, can you close down a mosque in the United States of America given the First Amendment and its guarantee of the free exercise of religion,” Fischer said, “and the answer is that you absolutely can. Yes, Donald, yes, Virginia, we can constitutionally close down mosques in the United States of America.”

This is, he explained, because “the only religious tradition that is being explicitly and expressly protected in the First Amendment is the free exercise of the Christian religion.”

kiwiwatcher, if the world’s population is eight billion, at least two billion of these people will die in World War Three and the aftereffects of nuclear warfare (Revelation 6:8)…I hope the Russians will also nuke the Islamic strongholds in Europe, like London and Paris…Enough is enough.

Genesis 3

16 To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbearing;
in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your
husband, and he shall rule over you."

We see no evidence of animals having the same type of pain that human women
have during child birth. Therefore Genesis is accurate.

Question: I own four single-family homes that I rent out. I am a strong Christian and would like to rent to others who have similar faith-based values.

Also, in my experience, renting to tenants who have a strong sense of faith has resulted in the best tenancy situations I have had. These tenants, whether Christian or Jewish or Muslim, have kept their homes very clean, been pleasant to deal with, and always paid their rent on time, in full. I believe this is because these tenants have some sort of God in their lives, even if it isn't the same God I know.

Recently, though, someone applied to rent one of my houses. In the course of meeting him to consider him as a tenant, I discovered he was an atheist. I have mixed feelings about renting to someone who doesn't believe in any God at all. My wife told me I should be careful because she thinks atheists are protected under the anti-discrimination laws. Is she correct?
