Were the pre-flood people that wicked?

by indoubt in

i have to say upfront that i am not sure about anything at this point of my life (i.e.

but i am trying to believe that there is a god, and that he is loving and cares about us...

i saw horrific pictures the other day about the floods that just occurred in dominican republic.

Finally, the Yahweh of Genesis needed a lot of convincing to not unleash destruction. Look at how Abraham had to intercede with Yahweh regarding the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, pleading with him to not destroy the city if ten righteous people lived there. And yet Yahweh went ahead with the destruction, and even Lot and his family (who were later saved) were destined for destruction. That's right, even Lot was going to be destroyed. The angels didn't come to save him, but to destroy to city (Genesis 19:13). Rather Lot SAVED HIMSELF by showing them his hospitality (Genesis 19:12, 19). And because of his one life, God actually spared a whole city (Genesis 19:21). Despite the attempt by Hebrews and 1 Peter making Lot a "righteous" person after the fact, there is not a word about him being righteous at all up until his actions in ch. 19 and Jewish tradition similarly concluded that he had been wicked.

I agree with this, Leolaia. Good point, and good reasoning.

Six Flags shouldn't have let morbidly obese man on roller coaster

by ThiChi in

i'm sorry, but i can't get this picture out of my mind, a 365 pound man flying through the air....

six flags shouldn't have let morbidly obese man on roller coaster.

six flags darien lake, n.y., amusement park in will pay $3.95 million to a man who sustained a large abdominal hernia after being ejected from the park's superman--ride of steel roller coaster.

Morgan

Wow! This thread hits close to home for me.

I live in the same city as this man. No, he is not tall. Average height, but he is a big guy. I don't know him personally, but see him out once in a while.... (Just saw him yesterday at the store.)

Six Flags should of banned him from riding the coaster. If they had, he wouldn't of been injured. Too bad he wanted to ride, he wouldn't have a case, they have the right to refuse. I don't know if he could sue for discrimination.( If they have the right to refuse, how could he sue?) Even if he could, I would think the payout would be alot less. No medical expenses. Just emotional suffering. Seeing that they didn't use thier right to do this, who does the liability fall on? I agree some people today do not take responsibility for thier actions. But, he was injured, and the laws in the USA allow him to sue for these reasons. Right or wrong, it's his right to sue. Do I agree? Doesn't matter. That's the law. And, there are people that will take advantage of it. Quirky laws we have, aren't they? Just my personal opinion....

Hi Simon,

You need to explain. What is a proxy server? And, how does my using one explain the same IP address for these 2 sites?

I thought each computer was assigned an IP. Of course, if you use 'dial up' the IP will change. The IP does not change for these sites. They stay the same. And, they are the same IP address. It's not my IP. I have been using a firewall for years. I just happened to stumble across this info today. Both sites were down for the same amount of time.Same error message. This made me ? what was up. I then looked into the IP addresses.

Let me ask this....How do you block a persons IP? If the IP is different each time, or the server has the same address, how can a site block someones IP, so they can't open the site?

I am STUPID when it comes to these technical questions, (like that's a news flash). All I know is there are 2 sites that are using the same IP address. Is that possible?

The one site I know has blocked individuals from viewing their site. How do they do this? Isn't it by blocking their IP address?

I know these questions might seem "bizzare'. But, I want to know if these sites are 'one and the same'

Thanks, Morgan

Hi Valis,

I don't think so. The log gives my IP address as well.

Also, I didn't go to the other site, after I cleared out the log. But, yet the site is in the log. (boy, did that sound goofy!)

Hi Everyone,

I visit a couple different sites. In my firewall log, I get the same IP address for these sites.

After I clear all entries in the log, I will visit one site, and the name comes up for the other, with the same IP. It doesn't even log the name of the site I visited, or its IP.

Once, it named the site I was at, with the IP of the other. But, usually, the log says I visited the other site with its IP address. And, I didn't go to that site.

Any ideas? Are they ran by the same person? Same computer? I haven't a clue. Maybe, it doesn't mean anything.

Thanks in advance. Morgan

do you ever write posts but not post them?

by dh in

jw

i find that i do it a lot, often to do with politcal threads, i read some of the stuff people write and i want to rip into it so badly, of course because i know i am right all of the time and everyone else just thinks they are, so i write a post, then i read it and don't bother to post it... i figure, why destroy everyone elses illusions that they are right?

that just wouldn't be nice.. sometimes i spend a while writing a long post, then i just hit ctrl+a followed by space bar, and back in my browser... does anyone else do this or is it just me?

i am particularly interested to hear from other people who like myself are right all of the time but would feel guilty about shattering everyone else's illusions.

Morgan

Hi Everyone,

I do it all the time. Pretty much for the same reasons BigTex gave. Also, from the fear of sounding stupid, or being rejected. For me, I think the problem is perfectionism. Which is a hard habit (or trait) to break!
