It's like biking through an ewok village.

This never works for me. Or the traces always come out very pitted.

Where is the part where he talks about fatigue. I see it in that supposed C&L transcript, but not in the video. Hmmmmmmmm.

Jesus says... "Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For by the standard you judge you will be judged, and the measure you use will be the measure you receive."

They tried to obstruct what he had to say and look what it got them: "The Sergeant at Arms will restore order in the chamber."

The thing that those 'activists' should really be thinking about is this verse: Matthew 6:1 "Be careful not to display your righteousness merely to be seen by people. Otherwise you have no reward with your Father in heaven."

I'll bet with all the stress on the rims, the disc brakes really come in handy. I wonder if this kind of riding is feasible on a bike with traditional pad-to-rim brakes...?

That last mushroom cloud is pretty.

Man! He sounds almost exactly like Agent Smith's "Morpheus-as-hostage monologue" from 'The Matrix'. See @1:19.

I hate to be practical in light of such funny jokes, but cats eventually get enough sack to come down on their own. It's not like it was stuck between two 1000lb branches. Now THAT would be "NEWS".

> Why would you create things that suffer?

The answer depends on what kind of suffering you mean. You mean being able to sense pain? Or kids starving to death in the desert?

> "Worship me or suffer!" Yeah, how nice and benevolent. If heaven's so great, why all the threats? If god is so great, why do we need to be bribed to worship him?

Why do you laugh at budzos for thinking about it, and then ask your own questions the same as he? hohoho

> Thanks for twisting my words and intent in a classically Christian manner, Marr.

I did not twist your words. I wrote my own.

> As if you don't know what I mean.
> Sure you're free not to worship, but that is the road to hell, which is no choice at all.

What you meant is that you do not like one of the two possible outcomes. That doesn't mean you don't have a choice.

I think the guy in this video needs to understand something: If God didn't love you, He wouldn't warn you about the consequences. He would just let you suck at life, thinking you were alright, and then at the end cast you into hell. And yet, we know that God is Love - and therefore, in regard to the imperfection of the video's analogy, I agree in this regard:

It is not as if God is holding the knife to your throat. He is not out to threaten you into Loving Him. (What kind of Love would THAT be??? It would not be Love at all.) More like you are falling onto the knife, and you can choose to reach out for rescue or not. With regard to not being able to 'see God', if you were falling onto the knife and there was a sign next to it that said, REACH OUT HAND TO BE RESCUED, I think the atheists among us would be characterized as thinking, "Wait a second. This sign doesn't PROVE that sticking out my hand for rescue will actually get me rescued," and so they choose not to. The faithful chooses to believe, and does it.

So that is the Atheist and the Faithful. But there is a third kind of person. This is the one who does not yet believe the sign, but FIRST reaches out his hand and yells out in sincerity, "Show me that you're there!" This 'third person' is actually what EVERY 'Faithful' person has once been. The faithful were ALL atheists until they humbled themselves, cried out, and discovered that someone was indeed there.

My point is that in order for you to be rescued, you first have to believe that rescue is possible. If you just reach out your hand, and do not believe, well, you're just sticking your hand out, and not sticking it out to be rescued, aren't you? One might argue, "Well, doesn't God love everyone? Me, included? Wouldn't He just grab me by the back of my undies and wedgie me to safety?" Yes, He does love you, even though you go around defaming Him. But, if you CHOOSE to end up a rotten tomato, the gardener will not give you to the chef, and you will be thrown away. It is not more complicated than that.

You choose. You face whichever consequence. You take responsibility for yourself unless you choose to give that responsibilty to the gardener.

The good news is it is perhaps not that immeadiate, and we all have a goodly time to read and understand and think about the message on that sign before we actually hit the knife. But make no mistake, when the time comes that the knife has entered your body, time is up. (When I wrote this, I laughed because I sounded like such a fear monger, but really, if what I wrote worries you, it is not because I have created the fear in you, it is because I have spoken the truth and you do not like it.)

In closing, I'd like to add that God didn't make you so that you would "worship" Him like a blind fool. God made you in order to share Himself with you. If you were pure Love, pure Light, there is absolutely nothing else you could do BUT create someone to share yourself with. Otherwise, you wouldn't be pure Love, would you.

> You are born a sinner. Just remember that you are unpure and you need to worship God to ensure salvation. Don't think too hard or try to be free, just worship. Worship and obey.

That's almost right. You messed up on this part: You don't have to TRY to be free, because you are BORN free. And you are FREE to choose to worship or not.

How do they "prove biological evolution"? (8:30) Hmmm guess they don't.

Kinda lame how he just says the same thing over and over. I guess he's really intent on being self-righteous.

How this guy is "debunking" "creation" I'm not sure - because he can't prove that those rocks were ever actually animals. </troll>

It must be fun to just pick up a rock and have it be covered in fossils. I get all wowed when I find a simple snail in the local limestone. They are few and far between.

Vomit.
