Now that they're going to be playing the Super Bowl in NY in 2014 the half itme might be a little different. Actually this stupendous event, and all of sport for that matter, has gotten so completely senseless, I'm wondering to what assinine depths it's liable to go in the future. One of the ideas that has great possibility is teams being named after corporations that own them rather than geographical locales, so like the rest of their business, these fine companies can take their teams wherever they want to take advantage of tax breaks. i've been thinking about things like the McDonalds Cowboys vs Haliburton Raiders playing in the 2020 Super Bowl say in Hong Kong. Whatdaya think? This way the fans can cheer for their favorite corporation and wear all those logos. Think of the advertising potential. And this could be New World Order Football League. Maybe the WTBT$ could olwn a team.

The WHO at the Super Bowl!
by lepermessiah ini was having a conversation with a younger guy at work - he barely knew who the who was....... he was telling me that he recognized the songs but thought they sounded pretty rough.. i told him that i wish he could have seen them even 10 years ago - i saw them live in 2000 and roger still sounded awesome, and pete was still.....pete!.
the real big loss was losing the ox - john entwistle was so important to that band.
he was amazing live....... moon was a huge loss, but after je passed, i really wish they would have stopped performing live as the who.. here is an awesome taste of him in action.......rip ox............ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvl39lbzgmw.

Why FAITH is actually a form of suicide
by Terry ini once heard a psychiatrist explain suicide as the ultimate act of self-preservation.
sound weird?.
counter-intuitive as that sounds, he went on to explain why.. when all you value in life is threatened you do whatever desperate act that will preserve that value.. destruction of self stops the ......process.....of consciously losing.

In the end, atheism is stupidity backed with logic with faith in zero hope.

Well put - they're like jw's - their agenda is to destroy other people's beliefs - at least jw's have a belief system - with good news only for them. Both are dead ends-Dark light vs No light - the rest of us have dim light

When you publicly, as on this forum, proclaim that you believe your ancestors were monkeys, you are expressing faith in your belief by your action. Without such action, your belief is only a personal opinion. Agnostics are a similar group in that they publicly proclaim that they are "ignoramuses" which is the meaning of the word agnostic. So their faith in in not knowing anything rather than outright rejection of known facts.

Faith requires action to back up belief

If belief in nothing is your faith that rejects the ransom offered for your crimes - you're dead. You just haven't keeled over yet.

"I came to put an end to the law." - right?
What does "under grace" mean? That whatever we choose to do that's wrong, it's ignored because Yahushua didn't do it?
QUOTE - "Listen to this message which I, the Lord, have spoken against you Israelites, against your whole family that I brought out of Egypt. 2 Out of all the families on earth, I have known no one else but you.That is why I am going to punish you for all your sins. 3 Do two people ever walk together without meeting first?" {Amos 3:1-3 GWT} Obviously he never met with other Nations."
It may also be of interest to remember that it is gentiles who are grafted into Israel; not the other way around,
with one law - not two.
Ephesians 2:11-12 (NIV) - "Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth....... remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world."

On the one hand I kind of admire those who have no hope beyond their present existence. On the other hand I find them most pitiable. They are quite right about railing against abuses by evil men done in the name of religion, but they neglect to understand that some of the great men of science were also great men of faith. Men like Isaac Newton, who wrote probably as much on religion as he did science. http://www.newtonproject.sussex.ac.uk/prism.php?id=135&name=1. And what a faith that must have inspired men like Galileo. Yes, there's obviously much we cannot know, but sticking our heads in the sand either by declaring our disbelief in anything is just as nonsensical as wanting to live in the dark ages as evil men in the Middle East would have us. It's like black light on one extreme and no light on the other.
Rev 3:17 "You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked."

Will Boomers Help or Hurt Funeral Industry?
Published: Thursday, 20 May 2010 | 10:40 AM ET
By: Kenneth W. Gronbachhttp://www.cnbc.com/id/37196946/
"At the Cannes Film Festival recently, director Woody Allen said about death, "I'm strongly against it."
No doubt he was serious, but the former stand-up comedian was also serious about promoting his latest film, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger—the "tall dark stranger" being a euphemism for death. For those in the funeral industry, death, or lack thereof, has been no laughing matter for almost a decade. Funerals and cremations are at a 20-year low. About a decade ago, the industry was handling three million deaths a year. Now that number is a third less. With an inherent gallows-humor bent, it's not surprising that lots of possible reasons have been circulating within the funeral industry about slow business. Among them are alien abductions, body snatchers, secret and private home funerals and burials, but none seemed to satisfy or be tenable. What adds insult to injury is that the industry geared up for lots of new business, following advice from a noted demographer and expert on aging 15 years ago. The demographer predicted that members of the huge Baby Boomer generation would start dying en masse in 2000.
That “good” news coursed through the industry like wild fire, and funeral professionals braced for the predicted explosive demand. The mom-and-pop funeral homes made substantial capital improvements, the big boys bought each other up with a vengeance and Wall Street geared up for a killing, so to speak. The year 2000 came and went. The year 2005 passed. Now it’s 2010, and still the vast majority of the Boomers are alive and kicking. People in the industry were asking "why aren't the Boomers dying?" Didn’t they know that the industry was counting on them? The Boomers weren’t dying, because the esteemed demographer was 20 years off. That is correct, 20 years off. That’s a very big mistake in the field of demography..........."
