I noticed it. It was just that a whoopin at his stage is less discipline and more like revenge.

Yeah, I never question the faith of anyone that gives me a discount. Nor do I argue politics with them... Used to get my race parts real cheap before I told the guy behind the counter what I felt about Rush Limbaugh... guess he was a fan.

LOL well both are right and neither are right. But one was told by his Imam that the "mosque" at the pentagon is not a mosque because it's only reserved for prayer once per day. But Meh, not my faith, so I can't say definitively one way or another. I'm just going off what my Muslim friends say.

D'oh clicked on the wrong one haha

Oh yes I realized it. Personally I'd rather have European versions of some of the luxury cars. Heck they have a German Version of the Mustang that I WOULD LOVE! It's produced ONLY for Germany. Has a 6 speed manual gearbox, supercharger, a metric f4ton of power... Yummy. and I hate Rustangs.

Controlling evil manipulative witches with a capital B? Nope never haha... Of course I have. I just recognized it for what it was right away. It is no better than the man who abuses his woman. I wouldn't put up with it. Some do it out of a fear of being alone. An understandable fear, but the reality is that when you are with that type, you ARE alone. They just get their jollies out of your misery.

Hehe yeppers, Juuuuust in case... Know what to expect.... PLEASE let it be the good level of hell.... haha

hehe couldn't think of a better response to the question. Nor one that fit more with my real personality. Lots of people swear I'm on weed. I'm just a very relaxed and calm individual. Happy to just be.

Yeah I used to do all of the voices. Though I haven't been practicing them in a while.

Frank Show. Yeah used to live in Tucson(where it started) But I live in Phoenix now, the morning show here is way funnier. Frank show was crude for crudeness sake. Basically a shock jock. The Holmberg Morning sickness is just hilarious. He's the only comedian that could make fun of Bush properly. Most comedians just through I hate Bush jokes out there, which are not funny. His were absolutely hilarious. And of course he does the Bush voice perfectly. Of course we end up getting Frank Caliendo in every now and again. There are some mornings where I am nearly piddling my pants because it's so funny.

I actually do a pretty good Beavis and Butthead. As a joke I called into our radio station and pretended to be both. Hey it got them to play Pantera.

Then later called in pretending to be the teacher. Had him request Pink Floyd

then Anderson(before King of the Hill) and had him tell them to stop playing all that devil music while he and the missus are trying to watch the TV

The radio staion loved it so much they added it to their sound bites

Quite frankly I feel that the reason people are moving away from God is that they believe the church represents God. They represent the church, and their interpretation of what God is. Most people just assume that the church knows what it is talking about. Then they fail to look for God in their own life and in their own way. So they find themselves losing faith. To be honest, the same thing happened to me. It wasn't until I seperated Faith, Religion, and Church that I was able to find God.

It really depends on what you mean by self sustaining.

If you are talking about the reason God(the creator/YHWH/$DIETY) chooses not to involve Himself(herself/themselves) with our mundane existance and prefers to allow strife in our lives, it is much the way a mother bird will push their chicks from the nest. As we have free will, God gives us tasks to do so that we may grow. While it may be easier to "miracle" us to better lives, it ultimately lessens our ability to learn and grow. By being self sustaining we are free to discover God in our own way. That discovery is more effective than a simple "Believe in me or else..." method. We see things in different ways and catch the hints at God.

Hey there GTA. Sorry I hadn't responded earlier. I got my own issues to deal with right now. No reason to drag it all out for anyone to see.

I've noticed a distinct pattern to Achilles posting style. I like to call it Proof by Innundation™ in which he picks apart your whole post into small chunks makes 50 arguments then claims victory because you answered only 49 of his arguments. Or worse makes 100 new arguments from the 50 answers you made, and attempts to distract you with too many questions. Then gets insulted that you don't want to play the same game. On top of it all I notice that he demands absolute proof but doesn't even provide adequate defense for his accusations. He actually reminds me of myself before I had my spiritual experience. An experience that was enough to turn me, an anti-theist(note that I didn't simply state athiest), into a believer.

I don't mind that he doesn't read my posts anymore. As long as others do.

Happy 29th
