By the use of emotional rhetoric one may think he or she can sway opinion to their cause, but it only lasts until the next individual comes along with a better tear jerker, or urban legend to send the puzzled student off on the next rabbit trail.

Logic and reason go a long way, it's sad how some might say they use it, but in practice they're constantly using emotional rhetoric.

Call the Holy Day what it really is, a Roman Catholic feast day borrowed from Persian Mithraites.

In Jesus name

With those three words (in bold), the Scripture is fulfilled: ....for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Mat 12:34
