There is no brownie points in heaven, my friend. There is no special award for helping people. Christians try to be Christlike. That's how God uses us. We are an extension of his hand, we help his people. His people are everyone here on earth. We render help because it is in our hearts to help people. God wants us to help others. Besides, helping others helps us to open our hearts for others and it makes our hearts bigger and it helps us to understand the love that God has for everyone. Lastly, good deeds do not get you into heaven. This is a misconception that most people have. To sum it up: Believing that Jesus is your lord and savior and asking God for forgiveness is your meal ticket. Just by saying this, you are saying that no other religion, outside of christianity, is correct. Any religion that does not belive jesus is their savior will be going to hell, pretty lame in my opinion. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

Satan is not in hell. His place is here on earth. God created Satan to be the most beautiful angel in heaven. Picture someone being so beautiful with the most heavenly voice, that's Satan. He was so vain, he rebelled against God so God punished him and exiled him. He's here on earth to pull people away from God, even Christians. That's his ultimate goal. That's how he gets even with God. If god created satan to be the most beautiful angel, shouldn't god have known what would happen??? He is omniescent (spelling) which means he knows the past present and future, so why would he create someon (knowing what he would eventually become) knowing he would eventually become the monring star??? Makes very little sense for a being of all knowing. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

When I was in the airforce I asked an F-15 pilot why they use round instead of rectangular canopies in thier ejection seats. He said it's because they're cheaper, but the stuff the other guys on here said about them opening faster and more reliable makes more sense. We die only once, but for such a very long time.

OOOhhh nooo !!! you are soooo lost son...what happened ? Poor thing Sorry, I was a little drunk when I wrote that We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

Christianity is radically and completely different from any other religion on the planet that you might follow or even make up for yourself. Are you serious?!? Christianity is no where near different from any other religion on the planet. The Mormon religion is based on Christianity. Islam is practically based on the Old Testament, they even believe Jesus was a prophet, just not the son of god. Christianity is not special in any way. The Jewish religion was even based off origianl Christianity, they just didn't believe Jesus was their savior, they wanted a warrior not a passovist. P.S. If Chuck Norris was Jesus, he would have kicked ass for our sins, not died like a pussy. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

I’m not trying to play God. It’s just that assumptions based on preconceived bias can lead to incorrect theological conclusions. I was just trying to correct with Biblical examples. It’s in the book. Yeah, but these are questions for if you met god, not questions for the MEN who wrote the bible, and what they think about god. We die only once, but for such a very long time.

Just curious what some of the more experienced would reccomend. I bought a video recently called "Break Away" which gave instructions on what to do when malfunctions happen. I just want to know If videos are good training, i.e. how to sit fly, back fly, and whatever else there is. Obviously, a pro at whatever dz you go to is probably the best instructor, but just wanted to know if videos are a good supliment and something to invest in or not. Thanks.

When I had my wisdom teeth out I didn't get dry sockets, in fact I was out drinking the next night, didn't swell up at all, but hope you feel better. Guess my jaw (or immune system) is just better than yours We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

Yeah, I'm working, but only cause I'm in an Islamic country that doesnt' allow other holliday's, not that I'm christian or anything, more of a tradition than a religous holliday for me. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

I wouldn't say anonymous quickie sex, at least not from meeting in a car, but I have had a few girls I've met in less than 24 hours that I've slept with, some of them I dated, some of them one night stands, but it works both ways. Never had sex in the back seat of a car though, but some other wierd places. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

Well, another question I would like to ask him (if he exists) would be how did he come to be? Did he have a mother and a father? are we some kind of ultimate beings science experiment? Is there any purpose? Why do we need to worship you? If you are all powerful, why do you need us humans to worship you? Do you gain power from our worship? If people stop worshiping you do you cease to exist? That's more than one question, but important questions, at least to me. We die only once, but for such a very long time.

You stole mine, if there was a god and I met him, I'd want to know what religion is the right religion, and if none are right, how exactly would he want to be worshiped. If I met him, I would have no doubt of an after life, and I'd want to be on his good side. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

That's the main reason I'm working in Saudi Arabia right now, I don't have to pay taxes!!! yay!!! That, and I'm making more money than any 23 year old without a degree should ever make, but then again........I do have to live in Saudi Arabia and can't get my skydive training done till I get back to the states We die only once, but for such a very long time.

I'm usually not the one to say something like this, and no disrespect to those who believe anything whatsoever. I just don't believe that we can use words in a book as any sort of proof or basis for believing whether there is a God anymore. A book can say anything. Not saying I'm some scientologist or whatever or anything, but I dont know. Very true, there are many well written books out there with many less contradictions than the bible, yet they are not true. Take Stephen King or Dean Koontz for example. They have written enough books to fill 50 bibles, yet that does not mean cars come alive or ghosts exist. Quoting a book that has no scientific merit, but was rather picked chapter by chapter by a bunch of romans 1700 years ago really has no merit. We die only once, but for such a very long time.

My boss doesn't believe in Christmas I work in Saudi Arabia right now (other religions besides islam are kinda against the law) so I don't get squat. Haj is starting on December 30th, so I do get a week off though. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

No, I meant why does the universe as a whole exist. oh.........well...........beats me We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

There are plenty of planets out there with nothing (living things anyways) so it's bound to happen that a couple will have something on them. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

I did find a site that said: Happy Solstice, everyone.

I have to agree with the song myself, that's one of the main reasons I can't believe in a higher power. If there is one, he has the power to do whatever he wants, and yet he does nothing, good guy that he is. We die only once, but for such a very long time.

Even a judge puts a limit on his punishment of criminals, and yes, I consider death or life imprisonment a limit. No caring being would put someone in pain and torture for all eternity, that just doesn't make sense. If there is a god, I could understand sending someone to hell for sins they committed in life, but I could never believe in a god that put someone there forever, every crime (sin) should have a limit of punishment, maybe a hundred years in hell, maybe a thousand, maybe adolf hitler deserves a hundred thousand years in hell, but there should still be a limit.

Well, if you do buy her that purse, you'll probably get some great sex in exchange We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

I don't believe in hell, so no, but let's take a look at the options. If there is no God, (or devil) then no I wont be going to hell. If there is a God in the sense of a specific religion being correct in what god wants us to do on earth, then probably will be going to hell. If there is a God, but no religion is correct and he is truly an all loving being who created me, then no, cause that god wouldn't allow a place like hell to exist.

I wasn't really replying to your post, just the thread in general. Your post was just the last one on there We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

Guess it must have just been the churches in my small town, cause everytime I saw people going to church they were all dressed up and the few times I went to church with my grandparents I was made to wear a dress shirt, slacks, and a tie, which of course I hated wearing at that time, didn't help that I'm a non-believer and didn't want to go anyways I suppose.

I work on the avionics on F-15's and the biggest thing about the F-15 compared to enemy jets is that it has better avionics. In today's wars literally no one dog fights anymore they shoot or bomb eachother from a distance and the F-15 has got some arm length on the other guys. Plus they got these sweet pods where one F-15 can lock onto a guy and the other F-15 can fire the missle, and sweet jamming stuff that can make enemy aircraft think there are more aircraft coming towards them than there actually are, but most of the time the F-15 will take em down before they even know they're there. Also, the F-15 can shoot a satallite out of space, which may come in handy. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.
