cbs poll on evolution vs. creationism
I will definitely extend that courtesy to you. I try not to judge (God does that for me, lol) because if i do judge others, it'll haunt me later (or so i believe. Luke 6:36-38= "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."). It doesn't matter to me as much pertaining to what one believes about creation. Your actions are what matter. and because i believe certain actions (sins) cause God (who I believe in) to punish the offender, then I care more about your opinion on God than simply the creation of the world. It's not as important. For example, there are many denominations and sects of Christianity alone. I don't think God will say,"Well, you guys who weren't 1943 Reformed Conservative Methodist Christians are going to hell, because you disagreed with this denomination about minute things." I am probably wrong about particular technical things that i believe (such as,"baptism is not necessary to be saved" or "baptism is only authentic when one is submerged under water and brought up again"), but i don't have any doubt about Jesus (or so i believe). So I am not telling you,"YOU ARE WRONG AND I AM RIGHT" because (its really hard to admit this) i don't know everything . I am definitely not judging you, but I am telling you what my faith is. You can agree with it, or leave it and believe what you think is true, that's your choice. so i again extend the courtesy of not judging you, and especially not judging you about unimportant things (or what you and i agree to be not important enough to judge a person about).

Robes: Is it worth it?
yeah, i don't like the armours because of how they look . but like Force Reaper said, you don't need the extra statistical boosts after a playing the game for a while, so you might as well put on something with a nice looking backside, because you have to watch it through the rest of the game.

Post Counts
i think they should be counted. Why shouldn't they? you can make your opinion the next time you read a post or two of that person. if they wrote something that was stupid and they have 1,000 posts, then you can probably assume that most of those posts are stupid spam. if they have 50 posts and you read a couple and they look pretty detailed and on-topic or whatever, then you can guess what most of their previous posts were like. Unless you are DL and you want the count to stay at 999, then i think it would make it more fun. this is a fairly old topic, but i remembered i didn't vote in it just now and thought i should revive it.

Yeah, its funny because there was recently that omnimax film about the lunar landings and it looked more realistic than the actual footage of the moon. lol

cbs poll on evolution vs. creationism
Good point. the Judaism faith does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah. There is a cornucopia (haha thats a funny word) of points in the NT to support that He is the Messiah. They, obviously, don't believe the NT is the truth. The book of Matthew in the NT was addressed to the Jewish peoples at that time, so in reading Matthew you may see such phrases as,"So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying..."

yeah, sorry. i was just trying to explain my views, but i should be more considerate in the future. i don't want to be a luny on the side of the street yelling with a sign that says"YUR GOIN TO HELL!"... Although, i guess i need to respect him and his views too.

cbs poll on evolution vs. creationism
was i being discriminatory? I apologize if i was. and julianw, if you can show me which metaphors i have been taking literally, then i will surely change my position. If you can find biblical proof that all religions are inspired by God, then i will agree with you. But if its not in the Bible, i won't believe it. So far from what i have seen in the Bible, Jesus is the only way to be reconciled to God (John 14:6=Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.) and we do need to be reconciled (romans 6:23. and colossians 1:19-23= For it pleased the Father that in Him [Jesus] all the fullness should dwell, and by Him [Jesus] to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him [you get the idea], whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight

If absolute physical proof is what you require in order to believe in something such as Jesus' divinity (the He is God's son), then you will not find the proof. It's a matter of faith in this case. In faith, I take the Holy Bible to be the infallible words of God (written by people inspired by God. 2 timothy 3:16). Would God allow His words to get corrupted? I doubt that. Therefore, the Holy Bible is what I base my beliefs in. The basis of Christianity is in the Bible (or should be...): that Jesus is the Son of God, come to earth to die as a sacrifice for the sins of those who accept Him as their Saviour (romans 3:21-26 and 6:23 say this better than i do. then of course the well-known John 3:16 and then many other places in the Bible). Evolution is in opposition to the Bible because in Genesis 1:26-31 one reads that God made man in one day. So according to scripture, man is put into existance in a day, not over many many many years of adaptation upon adaptation. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The point of being a Christian is definitely not to make a lot of money. So yes, it is hardly a surprise that people who have a Christian (but not limited to Christian) belief about God (such as: God created human beings in their present form exactly as described in the Bible) would have lower incomes...

The winner of The Most Useless Thread
There are too many choices for this poll. i say we should vote for one of three options: Disciple, Blank, and draakh_kimera. (haha, i am so funny. because i said we should do it the way it already is! ha ha ha... <_< )

Impeach Bush?
I agree. It's funny to hear people say,"Oh! WOwzers! Saddam Hussein should still be in power. U.S. intervened incorrectly and now this really bad guy is out of power and that is bad. very bad. WOWserzs!" Okay, so the U.S. may not be justified to invade Iraq, but it already happened. So now what? Well, it is wise to argue the war so that it doesn't happen again in the future. But why argue that it should stop now when it is already so far in progress?and if the U.S. left now, then it would just be worse off. We should make the best of the situation starting now, no matter how or why it escalated to the state it is now.

Invasion, surface, threshold or supernatural?
i think it's ridiculous because he isn't even 'superman' yet and he has done thousands of things more amazing and in better special effects than 'superman'. they should just ditch the previous superman franchise and make their own version of it with the same name: superman.

Most useless character
i usually went with visas and Bao Dur because i like those characters the best out of what there is. even though handmaiden was good-looking, she acted childish in most of her dialogue scenes (e.g. .) So i was basically very prejudiced toward handmaiden throughout the game and i was glad i got the chance to It would've made me even happier to have the cut content at the trayus academy where the less influenced lover of the male exile (handmaiden in my case) would turn darkside and fight the better influenced lover (visas). Bao-Dur is just cool. he is basically a LS darth maul without red warpaint and learned as a tech specialist. his skills and melee combat are good to have in your party.

halo: the movie
i like halo 2 because: 1. i simply enjoy virtually killing a lot of things while developing muscle-twitch hand-eye coordination 2. it has incessant action-you are always on the frontline of a battle 3. you can choose your method of killing (i.e. han solo charging toward the enemy, stealthily sneaking up and hitting people in the back or throwing a plasma grenade on their face, sniping, etc.) 4. there is no unrealistic health bar as in the first halo. if shields go down and you get shot then you are usually dead 5. online multiplayer... is like campaign mode but with real people and 5x more fun i don't like halo because: 1. if you really like it and voice your opinion, then you have to watch out for people who want to stab you

ah, in defense of the Halo movie and its executive producer, i will now refer to a post i made the page earlier than this post, which you obviously didn't read. You should read the thread before you post...

Atton as a jedi
also for Bao-Dur, if you have him in your party when you fix the broken swoop on Nar Shadaa, then you can ask him to check your work and you'll gain influence with him. I think that is the only good reason for the broken swoop to exist in the game, unless they just wanted to make me annoyed at its uselessness...
