When sneezing, I think there is a sense of relief, like scratching ones nose when an itch forms... but on the inside.

religious threads ftw

When can the Donmeister grace our presence?

Sneezing feels strangely good at times.

I concede to your point. God will judge I suppose. I just would never want to lead a nation, since it comes with those impossible-to-win decisions.

You need to read the the Bible more then. There have been quite a number of instances in reach killing people was considered a "good thing" and ordained by God. Hell, you can use the Bible to justify slavery and bigotry. Its all open to interpretation, but then again the Old and New Testament have been translated, retranslated, interpreted and reinterpreted for over 2000 years so there is no way to accurately to know what the original meaning of the scriptures meant. Christians should emulate Jesus, not use the old testament as justification for killing people. Christianity is both Old and New Testament, and then some depending on which faction you are with. There is more to Christianity than just emulating Jesus, Blank. Sad, but true. Christianity shouldn't be more than emulating Christ. Perhaps you need to read the Bible more too (I agree I need to read the bible more), as He is the fulfillment of the Old Testament, prophesies and laws*1. Jesus loved others and showed Christians how to love by dying for them. In the Old Testament, God had King David go to war with neighboring nations, but that doesn't mean God is telling all Christians that it's good for everyone to go to war. Don't get me wrong, I love the Old Testament part of the Bible. I really enjoy Job, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, and Malachi. There's so much one can learn about the character of God by reading the OT. God is serious when He says he hates sin. When asked what the most greatest commandment was, Jesus said, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."*2 Moreover, I see in 1 Peter, where Peter, a very influential apostle who converted many and helped build churches all over after Christ's death, says, "For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in his mouth, and while being reviled, He did not revile in return while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed."*3 I see all over the Bible a message to Christians of peace and turning of the cheek, not warring. There are stories in the OT about the wars, and in the NT, David is said to have been faithful in Hebrews 11, so he did what was right for him, but it wouldn't be right for me to go kill neighbors that are sinning. I just cannot see where a Christian would be justified to act like Bush or others who claim to be Christian. Bush as a Christian should've not wanted to send soldiers who would end up having to kill people who want to kill them. I mean, these are all actual people being killed, people who have the potential to be saved. Why would a Christian want that? To protect themselves? What about turning the other cheek and being persecuted? *1- Matthew 5:17-20 *2- Matthew 22:35-40 *3- 1 Peter 2:21-24

I have a hard time reconciling "killing" people in war as opposed to offering them truth and love that I believe would save them. In that regard, I dispute Bush's perception of the Christian tenets.

If I cared and attended the school, I'd set up something the next year to cheer for a bunch of random people, children of the teachers if there are any, and get the administration to change that way. Alas, I don't care. They get their transcript minus a keepsake and move on with their lives.

AD&D 2e, with some modifications But I really have no experience, and I only chose that because I respect a certain man's opinion.

But if it was a good game and you agreed with the direction they took it, and it was a major milestone in CRPG's, wouldn't you consider supporting them? This is Bethesda. What are the chances of that happening? Next to nil I say. I just have to accept that the gaming industry has changed and there will no longer be any games that I consider fun released any more. Time to retire the keyboard and mouse, Blank. I guess it's a slim chance, and I guess you are making somewhat of a point by saying you will not buy the game, but in my eyes it's a needless ultimatum. Wouldn't it be nice to buy the game and play it and then rip on it after you know how much it sucks and can give examples as to why?

Try telling something like that to the dude who mad at me for using his book as toilet paper.

It bothers me that they will probably make another Pirates. They are just after my money and I'm sick of seeing mindless action. Seriously, the whirlpool scene in Pirates 3 was the dumbest thing I've ever had to sit through. It lasted 20 minutes and both ships came out in one piece. Nobody important was dead and nothing was resolved that couldn't have been resolved without a 20 minute long ship-fight in a gigantic whirlpool. It was graphically stunning, but so was the opening scene of Star Wars III, which was much shorter and better in regards to action in my opinion. Of course, this is all subjective. I'm sure people thought it was great action, the right duration, and worth the time and effort put into it. I simply got sick of the ship-fight scenes after I had seen two or three, so by the time that huge one came around, I was done. It also probably didn't help that I felt done with the movie an hour before it was actually over.

I didn't like Spiderman 3 nor Pirates 3.

How did that go? Finch- Worms of the Earth

"You are Sasuke. Stylish. Skillful. Sexy. You've never had trouble getting people to notice you even if sometimes you wish they wouldn't. At least you can always feel happy knowing you excel at whatever you try. Now if you could only kill that brother of yours..."

It depends on your use for them. Cheap, bad headphones are definitely not worth it, but decent ones can serve you well if you are only a leisure sound connoisseur.

You're all FUD!

Nach Scratch- En El Punto De Mira

What's that sauce you Brits use?

Try slicing it up into pieces and using it in place of ham or turkey on a ham or turkey sandwich. Alternatively, slice it up and try to make it like bacon or something for breakfast. Get creative and put it in your friends' shoes for an especially tasty treat. The options are limitless!

At work, a guy holding a water and three sticks of string cheese asked me how much the string cheese was. I told him, "25 cents." To which he responded, "You know you are 24 when all you have for dinner is water and string cheese." Poor guy must've not seen the SPAM on the next aisle.
