The term "OP" has been used several times. And I have to admit that I've just been pretending to know what that means. So, what does "OP" mean?
Is it Opening Post? Original Paragraph? Original Poster? Observation Post? Organophosphate Pesticide?

I always thought it meant "Opening Post". It seemed in the context of which it was said, they were referring to something in the Opening Post.
Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.
Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.
There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.

From other forums I've been on, I've been told it means "Original Post" and can also be taken to mean "Original Poster."
