that you for making my point.....you cannot agree on what 'version' of Christianity, is correct, yet you are also convinced of your own salvation.....and my damnation. good luck with that. and by the way science bumps up directly against Christianity, given the age of the world, some 6000 years old - ask Mike Huckabee, he knows......

that same DNA science links us to a common ancestor with the apes and Chimpanzees, etc. It also links us to the entire evolutionary chain and debunks any belief that the world is 6000-10000 years old, and was created in 7 days. I know, I know, God made the world 6000 years ago but he made it LOOOK LIKE it was billions of years old....except that the Bible does not say that. AND, except that many Christians would disagree with that viewpoint. Again, even Christians cannot decide what is right and what is wrong. They value science when it is convenient for them, yet they debunk it at the same time when it goes against their belief structure, despite OVERWHELMING evidence to the contrary.

I call bullshit when I see it. If you see that as a fault, then that is your problem... Do you believe in the science behind DNA? Just curious.... That's the kind of proof that I like

no one blames 'him', we are questioning his existence given the situation. so hardships make us stronger? Then should we kill and slaughter more innocent people then to become even stronger? Oh wait, we are already doing that. If there is a God, he is a fucking dick....+1

let's not start another god debate - please, else we see 400 posts of the same rhetoric from the same believers, delusional or not. I am fucking tired of hearing about it. if people want to believe, then believe, if they want proof - then cough it up or shut up.

fixed that for you.....I believe that would be the more accurate description of the process, at least in your case.

wow, they can write songs - well I'm sold on it then.....

I don't doubt that Pat Robertson does something 'good' every day. But overall, he's a money-grabbing fuck that rides along preaching and taking people's money. He calls for the assassination of people - a real Christian. Kinda like my Uncle Fred - a great guy. would give you his last 20 bucks. help you build the garage. takes his kids on trips and camping, successgul businessman - but he has a problem with groping young girls. No matter what good he does, the bad that he does sorta undoes all that good. As far as Israel goes, I could care less one way or the other. The only reason the right wing Christian Evangelical movement supports Israel is because without Israel, the book of revelations, the end of the world, all that crap prophecy cannot come true. Problem is that the signs of the end were predicted hundreds of years ago, during the civil war, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, during the plague, during WWI and WWII, during Katrine - fucking hell - I am sick of predictions of the end - it's all bullshit. Get a life and face the music people. There is no god and if mankind spent half the time they spent in prayer trying to REALLY solve the problems of the world - this place we call earth would be nothing short of amazing. Instead, it is filled with people with delusions.....still pretty amazing - but wow, we could do so much better.

It's guys like this that keep me atheist..... if the end of the times is coming, what is Pat going to do with all that money you send him anyway? I feel sorry for the folks that send him anything - but then again, hey - if I can convince you to send me your social security checks to make you feel better, maybe I deserve it....

is this thread still going on? amazing....even I lost interest 200+ posts ago.....

I usually think about what I am cooking for dinner....

and this is where Ron Paul's theories start to fall apart. If you privatize airport security, then eventually it will become a profit business. It will become corrupt and those with money will get through and those without money will not. We have already see grotesque abuses within private prisons - corruption and such and judges taking payoffs to send people to them. Some things should NOT be in the hands of corporations driven to make profit. but again, it ALL works if everyone does what they are supposed to do and plays by the rules. But that is not actually the reality. The government is supposed to be there to ENFORCE those rules. No government? no rules...... no taxes? No way ot pay for that. Great if you're on the top of the pyramid - sucks if you are not.

no one noticed the lady on the report that said "The only thing I could do for him was pray over him and ask god....." WTF? Just who I want at MY accident scene when I am laying there bleeding.....

GWB was not a tyrant? He started the wars and assisted the recession. I do not seem to recall your thread about Ron Paul vs Bush the Tyrant..... Ron Paul makes perfect sense and his philosophy would work if everyone was to buy into it and play by the rules. But people do not.

define 'mentally ill'

I have considered running for office several times. Maybe something local. I see myself more involved as I get older, and a lot of locals think I should run for local council. I would love to be Pres., but alas, cannot. Maybe VP? I am SURE I would have your vote Ron.....

sexist slander? How about a reasonable description of the candidates.....? they ARE morons. I hope they keep running - it will do the country good.

i know 5 teens in my home town who killed themselves within 2 years of each other when I was growing up - a variety of reasons - none of which was sexual. One of them was due to a drunken father who beat the shit out of his mom all the time - so much for heterosexual marriage right? Another was overbearing parents who completely restricted his life. So much for the 'sanctity of the family unit' right? your point is.....?

yes we are.... - towards the will of the people without infringing on the Constitution and good for them If you don't like gay marriage - then stay away from gay weddings. If you don't gay sex, then stop watching gay porn. but most of all, stop infringing your belief structures on others when it has fuck-all effect on your life or on theirs for that matter. I don't like cats, but I do not try to interfere with the lives of cat owners.\ And the 'bible told me so..." does not cut it for most people.....

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/perfect sorry but don't see any of that in here.

- Jerry Falwell don't forget Jerry - he's a character-yes he is....., and he is close to God, so he must be right

rocks commit sins? wow. Any other possible delusional explanations you might have handy? My comedy channel is on the blink tonight.....

that's lame - if it was 'perfect' in teh beginning, there is no reason for it not to continue. define 'perfect' 'perfect' organisms would not die for one..... 'perfect' environment would not have bad weather.... 'perfect' geology would not have cracks in the surface with molten lava pouring out of them.... 'perfect' mankind would not kill each other.... I would go on but why bother. fanatics - can't change their mind and they won't change the subject.

'blind'

operating costs for the turbine caribou are quite high. No different proportionately that say a C-130. If you have 35-40 skydivers for every load, the Caribou could be flown probably economically. If you had 100-120 skydivers all the time for a C-130, then that could be flown economically. But the reality is that most DZ's do not have that kind of capacity/supply. So you scale you jump ship according to what you can keep flying, relatively full, at a fairly constant rate (few shut-downs) Big airplanes mean big operating costs, big load requirements, big maintenance costs, big fuel costs - most of all big risks. Great for a Boogie, not practical for day-to-day operations.
