Reborn!

>> ^GeeSussFreeK:
Salvation is a very real experience in many peoples lives. My aunt who has been doing hard drugs in a life destructive way (coke, meth) has been transformed, reborn if you will. I commend Brit for what he was trying to convey, that there is hope and restoration in salvation. Likewise, it is hard to walk the middle path when you are the best golfer in the world...not very middle path at all really.


But you don't have to believe in Jesus or be a Christian to accomplish that.

And, true to form, Brit Hume is an ignorant fuck-head espousing untruths with reckless self-assuredness.

Forgiveness is a fundamental precept in Buddhism, and as someone has already pointed out, you never hear about Buddhists turning suicide bombers or waging holy war crusades.

You also won't hear many Buddhists sticking their noses into Tiger's business or passing judgment on him with condescension.

What works Evan better than getting sum one to do good based a lie would be counseling.

an adult is capable of dealing with the fact that Santa clause is not real then they can deal with the fact that a big sky fairy that looks after them and send them to hell if they are bad is not real.

I bet there are Manny groups not based on lies and religious dogma that can help sum one far better than Christianity ever could.#

ultimately i don't believe fixing one problem with another problem is the solutoin Evan if for some people it brings them in line.

I want one. although Id rather have just the device with sensors and then feed that into a pc and let my pc do all the synth stuff.
no saving after 100 internal saves is TOTALY RETARDED.
the problem with these devices is they are counter productive. with my usb keybord and FL I can just play away and I can have every thing saved , FL autimaticly saves the last 500 or so key presses so if u happen to make something cool by accident u dont have to try and rmeber what u did.
its like the hardware manufactures r stuck in the past.

That must be new to FL. Either that or I never figured out how to get FL to do that. I do remember being able to record key strokes of my USB controller, but it would only record the note, not the time I held the note down.


its been in Fl for a while its called score logger u probably didnot find it because its in a random place.

http://lyrics.wikia.com/lyrics/Tilly_And_The_Wall:Fell_Down_The_Stairs

You fell down the stairs into my arms
And swiftly ran the other way
And I heard the steady swell of applause
The two drunk kids, trying to figure out which way was home
they got lost as they were taking off each other's clothes
They realized there was a hole in the boat
And with no lifesaver you try your best to float

And eventually the sky did return
And I was there outside in green
And I watched the world being reborn, 'til one a.m.
So I thought I'd let you know
It was beautiful, slow dancing to tunes of Billie Holiday
The city looked wonderful that way

And love, just like blood, will always stain

And if I could reverse it, I don't think that it'd be worth it because I know in my heart I would never let you tumble to the ground.
No, I'd never let you fall

It sounds good and if I were Finnish I'd be as happy as you.

But I'm not Finnish, I'm just getting started (ha ha).

Finland has less than 6 million people. Los Angeles alone has more people than Finland.

Finland is a mostly homogeneous people. 92% speak a single language. Your culture is stable and secure. You don't have 20 million illegal invaders in Finland seeking Finnish welfare benefits.

Half your voters are over 50.

Right now your unemployment rate is 9%. Thanks in part to Our Lord Obama's War on Prosperity, American unemployment is 9%.

We already have socialized medicine for the poor and aged. The fraud from just one of these programs--every single year--is 60 billion dollars (4,199,373,101.23 EUR) or roughly one-third of Finland's (ppp) GDP.

Finland lost territory to the Soviet Union. Obama is our Soviet Union reborn.

Close to 90% of Americans are satisfied with their health care. Europeans either don't know or don't care that once government controls health care, it owns you.

This year you get two "free" visits to the dentist. Maybe next year, they'll make it one visit. What can you do about it? Nothing.

Here's a Question: How come all Dalai Lamas are Tibetan? Why can't one or two be reborn in Southern Argentina?

1) WTF Starbuck was when she returned.

I think this was attempt to be faithful to original series and the Crystal Ship. I think she is either related to "God" ala Baltar/Six Angels and/or like the Crystal Six person that appears to Starbuck in that one episode with the pregnant woman/test and the Scilon that he becomes a buddy with.

2) Why was Starbuck repeatedly called the harbinger of death if she actually sent everyone to this lush green planet to repopulate humanity?

This is a much passed around mistake. I think she was only called harbinger of apocalypse. Which does not mean death, but change / rebirth.

3) Was Starbuck's father really Daniel, the last Cylon "child" created by the final five? If so, was her mother human? How did they successfully breed?

Ron Moore was clear about this in some podcast (or so I've read). Daniel was just that, killed by jealous super evil Cavil. Starbuck was not cylon ever. Also the dead/reborn Starbuck could have seen her father/piano man just like the Baltar/Six visages.

----
The only minorly interesting thing about the cop-out ending with "Eve" and crap is that Cylon DNA is literally built into the human nature and could explain how similar humans end up making the same Cylons eventually. It's like secret code waiting to be expressed. Of course the whole concept of Centurions makes zero sense then. I still don't understand why they were cludged into this TV show once skinjobs introduced.

Major plot flaw is that Cavils etc. know they have all the time in the world. Even if they felt tricked or double crossed they would not blow up ship containing Hera. That would be suicide for their race. Plus they downloaded half of the "stream" isn't that a good start? It's still not clear why the people who invented Resurrection could never recreate it. Did it really take all five of them? Also, how did they ever build the one Resurrection ship then? Could they never repair it or study it? What if it got hit by a random gamma burst or something.

I still can't understand.. How did Saul grow old? How did Cavil wipe memories and insert them five like 50 years prior to nuking planet. They clearly could make more clones of themselves even if there is no resurrection, can't they just go clone crazy and share their thoughts anyways??

Also, what would never happen is sending fleet into sun. Also, no scilons would choose to live on Earth, especially if they all have to split up. And I guarantee one captain would keep crazy weapons stash and technology to be supreme ruler of the new Earth. Besides most of these small groups of people would be killed by tribals in no time. I just can't see giving up all your medicine and stuff like that. It's lame throwback to M. Night movie.

Holy Crap! Thanks for the promote!

My first (failed) submission to the Sift is REBORN!

Here's a working copy, also a slideshow.

Great song!

Also see http://www.videosift.com/video/Odyssey-The-Amiga-Demo-Reborn-19-minutes for a reborn version.

There was NO outcry in Britain whatsoever about the same bus campaign.



During the winter solstice, the SUN stays low in the sky for three days, barely moving a shadow across a sundial.


After three days the SUN rises again, on the 25th December, and is reborn in the heavens.


If you stand and look out over the sea to the horizon at dusk or dawn, you can see God's SUN walking upon the water.

There are some serious factual errors in the video.
The only god it references which was thought to be born on December 25th was Mithras.
Almost none of them had 12 disciples. None of them were buried for "three days" after their death. (Dionysus, for instance, took several months to be reborn--since he was a transplanted fetus. But he never really "died;" being the son of Zeus, he was immortal.)
There are a lot of dying and resurrecting gods--and goddesses--but few have that many details in common with Jesus or with each other.
That said, in the context of world religion and myth, Jesus' story is nonetheless still pretty unremarkable.


None of them were buried for "three days"? I stopped the video the first time this claim was made, and arrived at Mithra. Here is a source stating that Mithra was raised after 3 days: http://freethoughtpedia.com/wiki/Jesus_and_Mithra
