More Polishhammer:

"Attempting to use the HMO model to revolutionize the U.S. health care system is like trying to use the Yugo model to revitalize the American automobile industry."

More TexAss:

[My wife] is in law school...doing well, though she's not the kind of person who appreciates greedy, self-concerned cut throats, and hence gets frustrated at much of the student body. She will be a social worker again soon.

One lady with a crew-cut in my [theology] discussion group never looked anyone in the eye, she just kept saying she doesn't know what to believe, while the other woman kept talking about God being in patterns. Not a theist, not a deist, but a divine patternist.

7) Title of current Pope's 1st encyclical:
Humanae Vitae
Redemptor Hominis
Evangelium Vitae
Vatican II
Veritatis Splendor
Contributed by Joe Verica.
Humanae Vitae is the controversial encyclical issued by Paul VI in 1968 regarding the regulation of birth. The current pope was instrumental in its formation. Evangelium Vitae is a recent encyclical regarding our "culture of death" (assisted suicide, abortion, etc.) stemming from moral relativism which was addressed in the prior, recent encyclical, Veritatis Splendor, regarding the splendor of truth and the snares of moral relativism's rise above absolute, universal truths. The Redeemer of Man (Redemptor Hominis), was issued March 4, 1979.

8) In the 1988 General Social Survey, 1481 Americans were polled. Samuel H. Reimer analyzed the beliefs of 724 Americans who "rarely attend church."

Perhaps more on this in later issues, since more than 9 of 10 infrequent church-goers are theist.
