...I DON`T LOOK GOOD NAKED ANYMORE...

.. this song was just sent to me... it`s funny!...

.. "i don't look good naked anymore" .....the snake oil willie band.

Dimmers and candle light are wonderful. Why do you think strip clubs are so dark? So you can't see stretch marks, dimples, surgery scars, less than pretty faces. Low light is like an instant airbrushing. To me, in the picture up there, the older lady up there looks a might better than the older man.

Do You Regard President Obama In The Same Way As You Did BEFORE The Election?

lately, even late night comedians are starting to make fun of the president.. i hear more negatives about the president than ever before---even from his own voters.. (i had high hopes for him when he beat mccain but since then, i believe the president has been a huge disappointment)..

Beks, you're right, it's not a good reason. It's definitely an evil one. They sure are reaping the financial benefits of fuel prices that have more than doubled. Oh yeah and that got the guy who tried to kill GW's daddy.

Makes me wish we'd elected Hilary in 2008. I think she'd have a better handle on problems like ISIS and Ukraine as well.

We likely wouldn't have the beginnings of health care reform though.

If GWB and Friends hadn't sent us in there for absolutely no good reason, there would not be the ISIS that exists right now.

They had a reason, all of them were involved with big oil prior to the GW administration: Busy, Cheney, Rice and more. The was has been lucrative for them.

Obama has played 186 rounds of golf so far. Bush, on the other hand, only played 24 rounds of golf.

Obama has played no games of Candyland. Bush played at least a game per week while in the White House. Hey, can't knock the prezzes for a little R & R.

I spent the next few months paying very close attention to how [Christian] believers and prominent theologians responed to it."

You forgot to include the word Christian. I should have realized you meant strictly Christian believers.

There are so many other possibilities. I wonder if you considered at least some of them, after the tsunami.

Once again, the topic is about how theists reconcile their god with the specific events of 26th December 2004.

Cofty, the last page there was mention omnipotence. I am commenting on the concept of omnipotence: a god who can do anything it wants to do. My comment also addresses the idea that if there is a god, he must be omnipotent and choose to stop a tsunami or other natural distaster. God(s) didn't stop the events on the 26th of December 2004.

I have realized that we don't know that god or gods are perfect, omnipotent or omnibenevolent . We don't know if God is omnipotent, all powerful, or a lone god. We don't know if God is all good or if there are good gods and bad gods. We just do not know.

People can be good. People can be evil. Why does any theist, deist or atheist insist that if there is a god, he has to be omnibenevolent and omnipotent?

Being a non Christian theist, I am struck by the concept that it is people who have deemed their gods perfect. How does anyone know if God or gods are perfect?

i'm curious, why and how did you choose your username?.

does it hold any special significance for you, is there a share-able back story?.

for me sparrowdown is a playful reference to matt 10:29 and the title of the movie black hawk down.. matt 10:29 was my go-to scrip to "prove" that god cares about us as individuals.

Being a non Christian theist, I am struck by the concept that it is people who have deemed their gods perfect. How does anyone know if God or gods are perfect? For that matter, how do we know there is only one god or that there aren't goddesses? How do we know there is one all powerful god?

I came across this quote in a book about John Lennon and Yoko. It's very thought provoking, with the concept involved:

''I believe in everything, until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists even it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams aren't as real as the here and now?'' John Lennon

We can't even prove the Greek and Romans gods didn't or don't exist. Not saying they do exist, but I am saying we cannot prove they don't. For all we know...

I do not worry about God. I figure if he isn't fair or just, I'm not going to worry about what he thinks, or they think. I mostly know what's fair and I am only a mortal.

An obstructionist Congress and a do nothing Senate have held us back and now the merchants of War have succeeded once again.

Glad I voted for the President twice.

I am, too. I would vote for him again.
