  Tetra,

  The first rule of Fight Club, is that you don't talk about Fight Club.

  Listen to me. You have to consider
  the possibility that God doesn't like
  you, he never wanted you. In all
  probability, He hates you. This is
  not the worst thing that can happen...

  It isn't... ?
  
  TYLER
  We don't need him...
  
  JACK
  We don't... ?

   F@&k damnation. F!*k redemption. We are God's unwanted children, with no special place and no special attention, and so be it.

  Born ins...how far did you go?

  how far from where you grew up do you live now?

  did you leave to get away or to take ownership of your life and create a new destiny?

  did you leave before or after you figured it out?.

  WLG,

  I stayed put geographically, I did however spend 9 years in school and started using my middle name instead of my first name to "reinvent" myself and distance myself from how I was raised.

  At the rock hall of fame there was an interesting display involving S&G, its seems the CIA requested permission to use "The Sound of Silence" as a motto and theme song within the agency. They had the actual letter from the CIA making the request on display. How cool was that?

  Tetra,

  But if that was the case, you'd have to admit God was a hell of a programmer.

  Rex,

  I don't think God and evolution are incompatable, isn't it possible that God used evolution as his means of creation, rather than just presto, everything popped into existence as is?

  So just WHO made this universe?

  by onacruse in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the christian theology, "god" is the creator.

  but many scriptures intimate that jesus was, at the very least, the "maker.

  " there are 2 distinctly different greek words used in the bible to describe the activities of these two beings; a distinction that the wts (along with many other non-trinitological belief systems) has made.. i'd rather not argue about the meaning of these two words, as they are very clear, and hardly worth (imho) wasting the bandwidth on yet further etymological dissertations.. i recently suggested that i could see jesus as tinkering with dna, and god giving him helpful suggestions along the way.

  Okay, I'm not trying to be obtuse, but again I ask, popped out of the potential? What is that? Or if this universe is one partical in a larger one my question stands, why is there anything rather than nothing, this "stuff" for want of a better word had to come from somewhere, or not? Does it make sense to say that everything just always was?

  Should our universe be destroyed another universe will instantaneously and spontaneously emerge to replace it.

  Emerge from what? How can something, come from nothing? Why is it no problem for many to imagine the universe always just was, but not a god?

  That's what always bothers me, if god made the universe, who made god? Okay, if god didn't make the universe, then who made the universe, oh, it just always was, doesn't sound like a much better arguement than the one for god.

  I just got fooled by a fake Paypal email

  by DanTheMan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just got an email that stated that another email address had been authorized to my paypal account, and that if this was not correct, to click the link below.. so (big mistake) i clicked the link.

  i get a phony but convincing looking "paypal" page saying that the page had been removed, and to click the link below to go to the home page.. so i clicked that linkwww.paypal.com/someotherstuff, so i think i'm good to go here.

  i log in, and then it takes me to a page where i am asked to give my credit card number as a "security measure".

  I hate that stuff worse than anything. Everyday I get bombarded by all this official looking spam, from banks, credit card companies, etc. telling me that my account is whacked or whatever and I need to fix it. Most of the time when all I do is high light the offending spam in Outlook my virus protection tells me it just saved my butt and I didn't even open the email, just moved the cursor to it in Outlook.

  I will say that the hackers, whackers and whatever that come up with these scams in lieu of working are the lowest form of sub human gristle, lower than toile bugs, lower than anything I can think of, 15 minutes alone with one of these creeps would make my year.

  was it ever a question of if?

  it was a matter of how many were going to vote against it.. side note: did anyone catch the south park episode where mr. garrison riles up the city to vote against gay marriage?

  I don't think its any great surprise, with the huge baby boomer population being the most active at the polls. They grew up with very different ideas on morality, sexuality, and race than younger people have today, I don't see this sort of thing changing until the Gen X'ers are the majority.
