billvon 3,116 #26 March 16, 2011 >Would the USA still have dropped two atomic bombs on Japan if they knew > such a disaster had already struck them? Probably. There was a sizable faction in the US government who wanted to drop them to demonstrate very clearly to Russia (who were at least nominally our allies at that point) that we had the capability.

RonD1120 62 #27 March 17, 2011 Quote do you know why there is a special exclusion for religious beliefs when diagnosing Delusional Disorder? QuoteThe DSM-IV, and psychologists, generally agree that personal beliefs should be evaluated with great respect to complexity of cultural and religious differences since some cultures have widely accepted beliefs that may be considered delusional in other cultures.[3] Specifically, to be a "delusion," a belief must be sustained despite what almost everyone else believes, and not be one ordinarily accepted by other members of the person's culture or subculture (e.g., it is not an article of religious faith).[4] Restate your question as a new thread and open it up to the SC group.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
