First of all, I have not been Christian for some time, but I have received education regarding religion, with an emphasis on Christianity (I graduated from Liberty University). Religion serves to comfort billions of people in times when they might otherwise fall apart. This alone makes the...

How is this thread still going? This is like a puppy that keeps peeing on the bed; the more attention he gets when he does it, the more he will keep on doing it.

Religion started as an attempt to explain what we did not understand. The universe does not always make logical sense, and the human mind has a need to make sense of its environment, thus religion was born to explain that which is beyond us. Myths and stories were created to explain how nature...

There is nothing more positive than the first time you are called "Dad".

And yet you cannot answer the simplest of questions, why did Jesus not write ANYTHING? Yes, I have read the bible, and in fact I've studied the bible while at Liberty University. You obviously haven't or you would know that the King James version of the bible is the worst translation...

@see4 .. @Yessica... Are you two out of weed? You should both smoke a bowl before your next reply.

LOL, thanks SGT, I needed that.

I was in a suicide survivors group for a while when I was 15 (many ages ago), and talking about it does help. You are never quite the same afterwards though. I ended up leaving inpatient/outpatient psychiatry for psychology research (I was a clinical psychological research assistant) as much...

I do love scary movies, but mostly supernatural horror, nothing that is likely to happen in real life. When I joined the Air Force, I was disqualified for 95% of the jobs there because I am color blind (very, very colorblind, I got the lowest score they had ever seen on the test). Since I...

I have at least three reasons I'm here: This is the best place for a new smoker to get advice. Its never boring. People here call me on my BS, even when I don't initially realize I'm being full of it. You can't underestimate how valuable the last reason is for me.

Really??!!!! Were the wrist shots really necessary? I'm going to have to smoke a bowl over lunch just to get that image out of my head.

One of the hardest things I've had to come to terms with in being a software engineer is that the majority of my job is to put other people out of work. The justification for almost every project I've ever done has included saving money by reducing the work force, or keeping the workforce the...

BTW, the question you did not answer is why Jesus, God made flesh according to the myth, did not write a book of the bible himself. This would have seemed like a golden opportunity to relate God's ideas without a middle man scribe messing it up through translation, but for whatever reason Jesus...

I just re-read my posts, and I'm certain I never asked anything about there being water in Bethlehem. As for the taxing, that is contrary to what the scriptures report as the reason Joseph and Mary were traveling to Bethlehem. There was a killing of children by King Herod, for which there is...

Not sure how that was a reply to my post. Maybe we just need to agree to disagree.

Well, since you put it that way ... if they actually met God ... oh wait, I have no problem with blaspheme, and the bible itself encourages people to research it. It was definitely man that determined what texts became part of canon (or did they also have an appointment with God before deciding...

Nice. That sounds like I would like it. I'll have to look for it the next time I'm in Colorado.

I'm a big fan of Blue Dream as it is the best thing to have first thing in the morning. Is it similar?

Yeah, I come from a long line of Irishmen that drink way too much. I kind of feel bad for anyone that feels they have to get drunk (or stoned for that matter) in order to have a good time. Don't get me wrong, there are things that I only like to do when high (like bowling), and I only smoke...

There were people at the party that did not feel comfortable with people smoking marijuana around them, which is why all the smoking was moved to the bathroom. There was music and all the dancers from a show we had seen earlier were there, we had a masseuse giving massages, and there were some...
