Click. As a bonus anyone who clicks on the link gets to see the photo from the 'Post Your Own Picture Thread' if they missed it, it was my most glorious, sweaty moment.

Don't sass me woman! :angry:

<turns around and bends over> Yeah, if you could just plant it right there that'd do me.

I miss Father John Cruz.

"king"? I believe you mean kin. For those of you in America, you're misinformed though if you think there's no war on "Christmas" whatsoever. For example: at a town's Christmas parade they invited lots of different organizations to participate except Christian ones. In my own hometown even, a school forbid its teachers and students to display red or green during the season. They were allowed to display blue and white only. They weren't allowed to call it a Christmas season, but a "winter celebration." But here's the kicker: earlier that month, they allowed a Jewish woman to come in and explain Hanukkah to the children and even pass out dradles. Or how about stores forbidden to display the word Christmas, or teachers being forbidden to utter the phrase "Merry Christmas"? You don't think that sounds a bit harsh? For starters, people want to take the "Christ" part out of the season in hopes of not offending people. But what left does't realize is that they're offending those who still icorporate the religious part into the holiday as well. Not to mention that more than just Christians celebrate Christmas anyway. And for the record, I'm not offended by someone saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". But when I see double standards or an imposed censorship on the word "Christmas", that's when I'm offended. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My town must be a helluva lot more laid back than yours then, because even though I'm less than an hour North-East of Sacramento, where there's the nut who wants everything to do with the Christian god censored, Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays is in pretty much every store window here during the Holidays, there has been no sort of censorship whatsoever in the schools, except for, in an ironic twist of fate, the Christian School I went to for most of Grammar-Highschool, where I wasn't allowed to wear a Santa Hat in the fifth grade because it was 'pagan'.

Pictures of You - The Cure

Good for you.

Ditto. It'll be ported to the PS3, and maybe even the Revolution, depending on how powerful it is relative to the 360 in the end.

If I haven't seen it it's new to me!

Pretty much yeah.

YAY!

:D

Wait, are we sure he's not in Hell? Because I'm not sure that is a better place. Unless Robert Heinlein was right of course.

Yeah, you also lost an 'a' in 'heathen'.

Good song, have you listened to the rest of Prey? Nihil's my favorite personally, it's fun to sing along to. The losers are the winners, The saints are the sinners, The angels in Heaven, Keep falling, and falling. God is no forgiver, He demands and you deliver, The demons in Hell, Keep calling, and calling. Though the night shall wash away, All the horrors of the day, And the little angel on my side, Tries to make it all worthwhile, And with a little beauty in my bed, I still wish, that I was dead, And the little angel on my side... No rose without a thorn, Dead before you're born, A world full of nothing, So keep praying, keep praying. That what ahead of us, In the eye of Horus, A sacred new aeon, We'll be obeying, obeying. Though the night shall wash away, All the horrors of the day, And the little angel on my side, Tries to make it all worthwhile, And with a little beauty in my bed, I still wish that I was dead, And the little angel on my side, Takes me on a devil ride.

they are the same to show consistency... i.e. that it's not made up. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You really hurt your argument when you don't even tell it properly. They're the same because all four of the Gospels are the same story told from the perspective of four different Disciples.

Wouldnt be the first time an authors picked an easier name to spell. It certainly wouldnt be blinked at today. But people got around a lot less 2000 years ago. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Greek was the language of the day back then dude (New Testament was written in it). Lots of Romans and other Gentiles moving about the Mediterranean, there would be nothing unusual with someone in that area having a Greecian name. By all means pick out things that you have a valid reason to think are wrong with the Bible, but don't pick out stupid stuff like this, it makes people take valid arguments less seriously because they see you have a serious bias going.

I think he raises some interesting points, imagine the Christian right wing if they found out that God was female and Christ black. I'd go get myself a truck load of popcorn ffs. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would actually enjoy those arguments, but I think that God if anything is sexless and Jesus was of course not white, but kind of a brownish colour (not black either though).

Umm bible or porn, bible or porn, bible or porn... The names are not what you would call typical for the region anyway. Andrew is a Greek name. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dude, of all the quibbles I have with the Bible this would have to be nonexistent. It's like a guy in America having an English name rather than a Native American name. Please Potent, study your history before saying such silly things.

WinterSun, we have this thing called the internet, pretty much anything can be found there, especially porn. But also Bibles.

You'n Kevin Smith Lucius.

Who was it that called the France Surrender-Monkies?
