I'm just striving to understand these things.

 

Stop hating God and come back to Him. He will forgive you.

 

There's no real hate in this heart, brother.

 

I used to run at lunch with a Christian guy I worked with. We talked about all kinds of stuff in very frank terms, as you can imagine. After a couple of years of running together nearly every work day, he timidly admitted that he often prayed for me to come back to God. One cannot help but be touched by such subtle, human compassion.

 

Unfortunately, Tom was killed with his son when his Cessna hit a mountain about five years ago. I still go down to Portland on occasion to attend the monthly memorial run a mutual friend organized soon after the accident. I don't dwell much on where he did or didn't go after he died, just as I don't think much about anyone's afterlife or lack thereof. I only think about how he lived. He was a lovely man.

 

Have a warm Christmas and be careful out there, spraylords.

HAPPY SOLSTICE EVERYONE! FROM HERE ON OUT IT ONLY GETS BETTER!!!!

 

GOODBYE TO SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER!

 

 

Wrong. Daylength now begins to increase only between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. At our latitude the later sunset is balanced or counteracted by a later sunrise until January 5; on that date, sunrise begins to march backwards on the clock. Only then do the days at this latitude start to become longer.

 

This is caused by the so-called "Equation of Time," a term that describes several daylength phenomena created by the fact that Earth's orbit around the sun is an ellipse. Because all orbits are elliptical, orbiting bodies' velocity around their central body vary according to their position on their trajectory. Combined with the fact that the ecliptic is inclined, the Equation of Time means that sunrise and sunset do not advance and recede from local noon at the same rate.

The Universe is infinite

Therefore in infinity all possible things must be probable

Therefore not only does the Christian god exist but so do all gods of all faiths of all religions of all intelligent life in the universe

And every god not yet conceived of as well

And i bet when they brawl its like Kaiju Big Battel x 1 million.

don't let the dream die - the fuck-jesus thread must go on!

 

how about this little dylan tune for the expedition theme-song?

 

WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE

Oh my name it is nothin'

My age it means less

The country I come from

Is called the Midwest

I's taught and brought up there

The laws to abide

And that land that I live in

Has God on its side.

 

Oh the history books tell it

They tell it so well

The cavalries charged

The Indians fell

The cavalries charged

The Indians died

Oh the country was young

With God on its side.

 

Oh the Spanish-American

War had its day

And the Civil War too

Was soon laid away

And the names of the heroes

I's made to memorize

With guns in their hands

And God on their side.

 

Oh the First World War, boys

It closed out its fate

The reason for fighting

I never got straight

But I learned to accept it

Accept it with pride

For you don't count the dead

When God's on your side.

 

When the Second World War

Came to an end

We forgave the Germans

And we were friends

Though they murdered six million

In the ovens they fried

The Germans now too

Have God on their side.

 

I've learned to hate Russians

All through my whole life

If another war starts

It's them we must fight

To hate them and fear them

To run and to hide

And accept it all bravely

With God on my side.

 

But now we got weapons

Of the chemical dust

If fire them we're forced to

Then fire them we must

One push of the button

And a shot the world wide

And you never ask questions

When God's on your side.

 

In a many dark hour

I've been thinkin' about this

That Jesus Christ

Was betrayed by a kiss

But I can't think for you

You'll have to decide

Whether Judas Iscariot

Had God on his side.

 

So now as I'm leavin'

I'm weary as Hell

The confusion I'm feelin'

Ain't no tongue can tell

The words fill my head

And fall to the floor

If God's on our side

He'll stop the next war.
