  of course, only a christian would say the god of the bible is the almighty, yes?

  thus, this thread is for Christians only, all other possibilities are not recognized here

  On Tattoos

  by tim hooper in

  tattoos may look great for a while on a young person, but as you get older they'll just look plain stupid.

  your credibility will fade as you and your tattoo age together.

  your skin will be permanently stuck in a timewarp, like some old newspaper headline that once meant something but later becomes meaningless.

  US Air Force to Atheist: Say ‘God’ in oath or don’t re-enlist

  by Dis-Member in

  1. social
  2. current

  an atheist airman is being denied the ability to re-enlist in the us air force because he refuses to use the word god in his oath of office, according to the american humanist association (aha).. the unnamed member of the air force refused to take the oath containing so help me god, wanting a secular affirmation instead.

  so he crossed out the phrase on his contract.

  the airman was told by his superiors that he must swear to god or leave the air force, the aha said in a press release.

  As regards the OP, I don't think any person should be denied service in defense of their country because of their personal beliefs. Church and state should be separate but really aren't. A less than perfect world...

  I still love Kingdom Melodies.

  ok, at the risk of getting flamed, i have been out for over 20 years, and still love kingdom melodies.

  i remember them for the good times, the conventions and assemblies, hearing the orchestral versions, imagining the orchestra playing.

  some pieces were really nice.

  Expressions of love are good. But then, just like suffering, if we are to experience these things and go on and disappear into nothingness in a manner in which there is no difference whether we ever existed or not, what good is there in that? These expressions of love no matter how long or fleeting they will last, will just be a joke in the end, and a cruel one at that. It doesn't matter, if we are just accidents.

  I beg to differ. It would matter all the more.

  what else do you really have, other than this moment and the collective past effects of them?

  "a 9-year-old girl learning to fire a submachine gun accidentally killed her instructor at a shooting range when the weapon recoiled over her shoulder, according to arizona authorities.

  another reason to go against those arguing that young children should be taught how to use guns.

  a question or two

  what if the god of the bible is only just that, the god of those who wrote the words?

  how has your understanding or interpretation of the "absolute" truth varied in your life?

  is the base argument only against one interpretation?

  how do you interpret what you don't understand?
