    Pitbulls

    I hate stuff like this: City Council in Conroe, which is located 40 miles north of Houston, is set to vote next week on a proposed dangerous dog ordinance that would require such dogs to be kept in a secure enclosure. The law might have prevented Wednesday's attack, Tindall said. Bullfuckingshit. THE LAW doesn't prevent anything. If the owners were smart enough to cage their dog or better yet, not own one they were obviously unable to raise and control; then the attack might have been prevented.
  12. Will you bring the piece of your head that you aren't using anymore so someone can skullfuck it? I'll be your best friend.
  13. Sorry I'm late. I was warming up.

    It's called "The Q-Tip"
  15. What did you do to correct the inequality? Did you have any options?
  16. Okay well here's a serious question: what we have been told about God: He is perfect, infallible, etc...seems to me to contradict his creation of 'himself in his own image'- man is obviously not perfect, and his own creation is killing one another endlessly, oftentimes in His name. So how can a "perfect" creator create such an imperfect being? The answer I always get when asking this of believers is something like "we can't suppose to know the intentions of our creator" which to me is purely evasive an indicative that the respondant either doesn't know, or has never wanted to know. OK, one last post. When did you decide that man and this world is not perfect? When did you decide that the definition of perfect (in this context) was to disinclude war, famine, etc? Maybe this is the "perfect world" that everybody talks about. If it is possible to believe in a God no one can prove, then it is possible to believe that this world is perfect as it is.
  17. As a good christian, Seahawks, what is your position on free will/predestination the action of God? I've always thought that for the god you believe in to have meaning he can't take action in this world. Didn't understand the second part (meaning). Willing to answer what I think. May not be the answer though as I've never met God. Free will/Predestination - alot arguments about this stuff, I do not claim to have the answers. I think you have been given totaly free will, God didn't want robots. What good was a creation if we all were robots. I think the predesination part comes in becuase God knows what decision you will make before you make them. Lots of stuff I struggle with, one big one for me is why God keeps himself so secretive. Then I think maybe he just can't stand the crap that is going on here and rather than destroy it all, he keep himself from it and hopes people will wake up. Flame away. Just my thoughts and not preaching. I love these discussions. I often find myself ending up with the ancient Jewish belief that God is simply beyond our understanding. God is so outside of our understanding that it is even limited to put a name on God. To think that we could fathom what God wants, means, is, creates, knows is beyond us. Doesn't answer any questions, but frankly I am ok with that. I still enjoy the mental exercize and the spiritual exploration of the discussion. Funny enough, I am on my way for my weekly appointment with a "spiritual guidence counselor" of sorts. She believes in meditation, aligning dimensions, asking the gods for help, etc. Although this isn't necessarily my school of thought, I figure, what can it hurt? It is not a decision made out of fear, although I readily agree that I may be totally wrong in my own beliefs, but out of curiousity and possibility. Well, I'm off. Wish me good space travel or whatever the hell it is I am doing. Oh, and don't start any crusades or anything while I'm gone. I don't want to miss anything
  18. Like to see you prove he doesn't. can't prove a negative. Both are a priori assumptions. You either choose to believe or choose not to believe. Neither can be proven or disproven, and their is no more support for one than the other. The big question is, are we comfortable with the choice we've made even though it's undefendable/unprovable? It comes to mind that a person is maybe not so comfortable with their choice when they feel they must defend it rather than simply discuss it. I have nothing to back that up with, just gut reaction.
  19. At the time it just was. Not necessarily contradictory, but was just very odd to be approached in that context at that moment by someone with a missionary perspective while reading a text that I doubt he would have approved of in anything but a purely acadamic, studying the enemy kind of way, yet which was completely capable of absorbing his own belief system without a hickup. Here are your assumptions: 1. His perspective was missionary (maybe he was just hitting on you) 2. He probably wouldn't approve of the I Ching (maybe it was his stepping stone into his current religion and therefore he connected with you on that) 3. The enemy. Adversarial thinking, as well as the whole "shoving your beliefs down my gullet" seems to stem from this impression 4. This person is the one man who was able to absorb his own belief system (in contrary to your earlier post that talked about all people holding contratictory beliefs and times of doubt). I think it is facinating to see things from a different point of view (especially b/c I wasn't there, so I get to make up a whole bunch of my own assumptions that are removed from the situation). I think it makes sense to approach a person who already shows a level of comfort with an aspect of spirituality and invite that person to see another aspect. Plus, I bet you look cute sitting in Lotus.
  20. Well...there is ALOT of things I wish and hope about you...but this is a FOR FUN/FOR INFORMATION site and this is the FOR FUN part of the site. So go sit on it and spin.....God is waiting. What is wrong with you?
  21. I think you guys are up to the challenge.
  22. Interesting. Why do you feel like that experience was surreal?

    car problem???

    Leave it to DeC to keep it fun!
  24. Tell that to my brother's in-laws. At the Thanksgiving table, I could feel the mother's eyes burning a hole in me everytime I reached for the wine. Alcohol is the absolute work of the devil himself. In her eyes, I might as well have stood up and yelled, "FUCK YOU GOD!" Too bad there is such intolerant people out there that give religion bad name. I see those people on TV all the time, They make me sick. But don't judge everything based on the bad apples. There is bad apples in anything. I think if it weren't for my grandfather, I'd consider evangelizers bad apples as well. I guess I could even put them in the same boat as Athiests. However, he is my grandpa. Athiests are my friends, as well as religious "nuts" and spiritual yogis. What I find works for me right now is just accepting that this is God's way of introducing new ideas to me or inviting me to challenge my own. I consider those people a blessing and my heart opens to them quite easily.
  25. I really hope, kevbone, that over time you will begin to distinguish which threads are fun and require no thought and which ones invite a true discussion.
