  1. I'm glad that FOXNEWS "warned" me that this might happen months ago.

    OMG it kind of did happen? And now they get all this airtime covering it "live".;)

    . Look around you at the beauty in the world, did we create this? No. So somewhere there is something witha vision beyond ours.



    No you are incorrect. It was created with math and coincidense. ;)

    Well, I'll give you my view on it - because at one point we had something like an opposable thumb that didn't work well, and one of our ancestors had a mutation that let him use it to better pick up food. He survived, and spread his genes a little more effectively than the people who couldn't pick up food as well. Multiply this event by ten thousand generations and you go from five fingers to four fingers and a thumb.



    And most dogs secretly hate us to this day for this!! ;)

    I just know to treat other people in a decent manner, follow the laws of the land (except for speed limits) & believe that something bigger than me is out there



    Sorry for the "Chistian terminology" but...Amen Brother!!!

    "treat people in a decent manner'

    isn't this the clincher????

    There is no such thing as ‘God’



    Cool, then could you puullllleeezzzz tell everyone (even those who don't believe) to stop saying 'GODDAMN IT' every time something doesn't quite go their way or if they're in anger or pain?
    I mean, as you have clearly stated, captain, there is no such thing as God. Come on, I don't say Santa Claus Damnit!!!!! every time I stub my big toe!!

    All of the things we see are one huge great big coincidence – one which many believe too big to be true. But from all of the possible planets that sprouted from the BIG BANG – ours was the lucky one to produce life. It is the nature of humans to need a reason for everything, so we take all these coincidences and form a theory of ‘GOD’, to help us
    deal with the fact that one day we will die and never be seen again – only to rot in the ground



    I respect your view however; out of curiosity, please share your 'beliefs' on this; why, if we evolved, exploded, or 'lucked out' were we given opposed thumbs?;)
    If we're here only by coincidence or the subsequent theories, should any of us really feel that we'll soon have it "all figured out" as has been stated previously on this forum? We just "happened" right?

    adn finally do black holes really exist?

    (and finally, do black holes really exist???)

    mahalo for your reply ~smile~

  8. To quote an Atair rep from a couple of threads ago:

    Quote

    The CC is not a good parachute for an intermediate jumper. It dives much steeper and flies much faster. The stock Cobalt can be flown slow and easy without any problem, while still being a kick-ass swoop main at heavy wingloads. The CC can't be "dumbed" down. If I were a straight-up swooper looking at both mains, I would of course buy the CC. If I wanted a fantastic all-around main that I could fly the piss out of when I got used to it, then I would choose the stock Cobalt. Two different animals.

    He gave away part of His power (freewill).



    Isn't it interesting that in most religions there's this one common principle (Denial of "self" & the love of others) and we have a choice to do this or instead give in to our desires??

    [imho] if more of us lived this way (ummm Golden Rule) each and every day this world might not be in the condition we're in currently.[/imho]

    Very well said. Faith and organized religion are two different things



    Spirituality(my personal)<>Religion(people's interpretation)
    Telling someone that I am praying for their quick recovery from a recent set back should not automatically imply that I'm also trying to force my personal religious belief's down their throat because they do not believe as I do.
    It might just mean that I care for them.

    I think as punishment, we should lock HER in a hot car till she suffocates to death. but make it on a 70 degree day... make it laaaaaaast.



    I'm soooo there with you cameramonkey!! My sentiment exactly!!!!!>:(

    But wait a minute!!

    That wouldn't be the "politically correct" way to respond to her actions even if she is proven guilty. I mean did we learn nothing about the error of our ways when we almost sentenced "to death" rather than sentencing "to life in prison" a similar mother who restrained her children underwater while they were kicking and screaming for their lives at the hand of their own in a bathub??She wasn't in her right "frame of mind" (I believe her defense argued). THANK GOD!!! (OOPS!!....(soo sorry to all the PC folks for my "God" reference without an obligatory "Damn it" on the end or worse (actaully still reciting in the pledge);)) we didn't actually make the mistake of holding her accountable for those actions and the lives of her children!!! ~end extreme sarcasasm~
    Back to story at hand...

    Then she portrays herself as a victim to cover it all up????!!!???? WTF!! Please excuse me I think I need to go puke!!!


    If she is guilty I'm praying the book get's thrown at her. REALLY F@&KING HARD!!!!

  15. Was totally joking around. ;)

    I loved the SNL reference. I can't get enough of watching the SNL reruns from that era on the E! channel.B|

    and as my wife will surely attest I am perpetually confused[unsure]:)

    that she's been told that since her formative years that's what she has to do.



    Thank you for the reply and I appreciate your thoughts but ummmm.. not quite.

    This woman was actually a evangelical(sp?) Christian minister just a few years ago before she converted to Islam. So her current stance really wasn't ingrated into her during all of her formative years.

    I do respect all religions and those who choose not to believe anything at all. Personal beliefs (imho) do not determine a good/bad person. But come on...she's sueing the state of Florida???

    If her beliefs prevent her from revealing herself that's cool. She isn't required to wear her drivers license (w/face photo) on her shirt sleeve every day!! But if she wants the privilege to drive is it unreasonable to ask her to be unmasked for 10 seconds??

    hypothetically:
    Especially in the state of Florida wouldn't I raise little a bit of suspicion by asking for a pilot license whilst wearing a mask?

    I could've avoided so many traffic tickets only if I'd used her technique. ;)



  24. I will ALWAYS respectfully listen and contemplate all my brothers and sisters beliefs and opinions without any predjudice.

    My own spirituality is a very 'personal' thing for me.

    That said;

    BTW Lisa, I was always taught that if you wanted to avoid confrontation, there are two topics to stay away from....Religion and Politics! So you're smart having a private spirituality. You probably live a much more peaceful life.

    In response to PhillyKev post:

    My belief is that religion and everything that goes along with it is an invention of man to explain the unknown. Think about it. For centuries the majority, if not all, religions had numerous gods. God of rain, god of sun, god of famine, etc. Humans didn't understand why these things happened so they invented deities who had magical powers that caused and controlled these things. As human knowledge and science advanced, and we understood the physical reasons for rain, sunlight, etc., the gods slowly withered and died. There is really only one great mystery left to us, the creation of the universe, and in conjunction with that, our perspective of it. That is why the "God of Abraham" (central to christianity, judaism, and islam) is central to the majority of the worlds religion. Judaism was the first major monotheistic religion. The rest of the gods didn't make sense anymore. How can you worship a god when you can see the mind of that god (e.g. understanding how rain forms). We used to believe the earth was flat. We used to believe the sun revolved around the earth. We used to believe many many many things for much longer than the bible has existed. All of those beliefs have been shattered by an understanding of reality through advances in knowledge and science (hence the reason knowledge, science and new ideas have been attacked by the three major religions previously mentioned throughout history including current times...stem cell research) Some day, we will be able to explain how the universe began, and when that happens, I believe the final God will die and mankind will have one less thing to fight over or use to control others.

    Sorry PhilKev. I may be mistaken (as I've been made painfully aware of by others before :-) ) But what you're saying is that WE ARE the higher power?? We just don't have the complete understanding of it all 'just yet'??

    Once we do what happens then?

    If we are progressing then why at the same time are we multiplying (humans) at about the same frightenly rapid rate that we are destroying the source of our own existence (earth/resources)??

    I seem to remember I was once told in a Philosophy class that this very belief could actually be considered just another form of religion they called 'Humanism'.

    History shows that when any 'system' (business, political, nature, etc.) has finally reached it's peak it's destined to dive down (usually quite rapidly) from there.


    RE:'In God We Trust' printed on American money?

    This is such a joke as
    Money&Power = a God to most people in our world today. No??? (thoughts welcomed)
    (but I could be wrong)

    I am glad to see it looks like this now.:):ph34r:



    I agree jtval. Thanks HH. Even though many of us balked at the initial changes this interface is pretty sweet!!

    On the other side; I did grow an appreciation for picturing a person and their mind (read:visual)by their insightful and thoughtfull posts (sex with sheep aside) v.s. all of our mug shots blasting out with every single post ;)!
