Bruce Perry said: Remind me of a longer post then - I don't remember one An approximation (literally copy/pasting from Firefox in Fedora 23 into wc(1)) yields 75 lines, 2800 words, and 17093 characters. I can't recall a particular thread. What would speed this greatly along is ML executing some SQL against the database. Alas, that's not likely to happen because it would probably spark some kind of competition. In any case, my longest post in this thread so far doesn't look very long. I'm pretty confident that I've had to shorten posts to get past the physical length limit. I drink a lot though so I may be remembering wrong. It's hardly relevant anyway. It's much more entertaining to watch Neil Roy's antics. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

I don't think God gave us intellectual capabilities just to scare us away from their use. Also, in my experience, humility and core concepts of Christianity (and other religions) go together rather well, while those who raise their voice loudly and appear to be overly certain of the transcendental, are prone to not seeing the log in their own eyes and generally tend to embody the darker sides of religion. |

Now in fairness, the starving African in the photo is probably not starving because of Western attitudes. It's more likely to be because his own country is corrupt. Replace the photos of the church looking rich with equivalent photos of his country's leaders looking rich, and it makes sense. Neil's obviously trolling at this point. I had hoped this was the case all along (I even edited such a comment into one of my posts briefly), but it didn't seem that way at first -- |

I figured it out now. They don't want the creator to be proven to them because they enjoy sinful things they are doing. If the creator is realized to them they would have to stop the things they enjoy. They think ignorance is a get into haven free card. Sad news buddies you want be able to say you did not know and think you can slide in like with everyone else when the time comes. Childish thinking humans are capable of. wow |

But the following verse is quite clear, there will be no excuses come judgment day. I sincerely hope some of these scoffers change, as I would not wish to see anyone suffer the punishment that is coming to the disobedient.

I swore to myself I wouldn't get involved in this, but, well... Okay, here's some logic for you: For every religious person who says they "know" what the "truth" is (and have thoroughly convinced themselves of this), there's a million others with contradictory beliefs (even within the same faith!) who are just as convinced of their idea of "truth" as you and will not hesitate to shout "Heresy!" and tell you, just as you have us, that you're going to burn in hell for your sins. Surely there can't be multiple "truths" can there? Either one version is right and all others are wrong, or none of them are right--and given that there's nothing even close to resembling a consensus, Occam's razor dictates the latter. Either that or maybe the many-worlds hypothesis is true (and therefore there are multiple pantheons), and somehow all the timelines merged into one... Anyway, I'll go back to standing outside the oven (now that I stoked the flames a bit) and peeking through the glass. It's safer than sticking around for what I'm sure is about to come. Hint: It involves lots of Neil spewing Bible quotes and bambam rolling his eyes at them.

There's an explanation for everything in the Bible. All you have to do is look for it. Matthew 7:7-8 said: 7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.…

Matthew 24:5 said: 5 "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many. Saying you're Christian doesn't make you one. It's what you do. The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations 31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy[a] angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer Him,[b] saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Your rewards are based on your works. Do you want rewards? Or punishment? Galatians 6:7-10 said: Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternhal life from the Spirit. So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith. Everything has been foretold from the beginning. God declared it. All you have to do is choose to listen and believe. Isaiah 46 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) said:
46 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Matthew 13 is especially rich in wisdom. I won't quote it all here, except for the most relevant part, but if you like parables you should definitely read it. Matthew 13:10-17 said:
10 Then the disciples came and asked him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” ‘You will indeed listen, but never understand, 15 For this people’s heart has grown dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and they have shut their eyes; so that they might not look with their eyes, and listen with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn— and I would heal them.’ 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. 17 Truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it. God is glad to give you his help, if you're humble enough to just ask for it. James 1:5-8 said:
5 6 7, 8
Proverbs Chapter 2 tells us that god is glad to give us wisdom. Proverbs Chapter 2 : The Value of Wisdom said:
6 Everything is there in the Bible, if you're just willing to open your eyes to see it and your ears to hear it. To anyone who says I'm forcing my religion on you. Grow up. I'm merely showing you a door. Walk through it or don't. Where you go in life is up to you. Believe what I say or don't. Your life is in your own hands. Do what you will with it.

I wouldn't poke this thread with a five foot stick. However one specific part stood out: Bruce Pascoe said: Occams razor That may be the most abused razor of all time. So much so Galileo himself wrote about its misuse hundreds of years after its creation. When everyone thought the world was flat, the simplest version was that the world wasn't moving so therefor it must not be moving per Occam's Razor. http://anthonypeake.com/occams-razor-as-the-arbiter-of-scientific-truth/ Quote: Surely there can't be multiple "truths" can there? Actually, I see no reason on a philosophical level that one set of logic has to apply universally, or one set of morality has to apply universally. Whether it be per person, situation, or deity. While not necessarily probable, it is entirely possible that one person is allowed to abort babies, and another is not, and we are judged according to our specific sets of rules with our conscious being the arbiter. And our thought that "God cannot be both perfect and inconsistent" is purely a man-made fallacy. The laws of physics vary throughout the universe. Why can't logic, morality, God and/or Gods, and more? Who is to say--and in fact history screams the converse--that how we think of physics, religion, and God are finally "correct" and we're not walking around with huge blindspots and unnecessary constraints in our understanding? We are almost certainly living in another era of "flat-world science." I am absolutely willing to believe God exists or doesn't exist. I am not willing to believe that I understand everything, or that it can be as simple and clear-cut as people make it out to be. -----sig: |

Exactly, and that's what science is all about, looking for answers but being open-minded to new viewpoints. That's the problem with religion--and politics too, incidentally--everyone is so thoroughly convinced they have the one right answer and that anyone who doesn't agree is delusional/going to burn in hell/both. By the way, don't take what I said in my previous post too seriously: I was mostly just trolling.

You can quote the entire Bible. It's just a text. It doesn't mean anything in itself. At best, it can express universal wisdom. At worst, it makes empty threats and tempts foolish people with empty promises of rewards. Well, at worst, people take it upon themselves to cause destruction and suffering in the name of earning rewards. I digress. Keep going.

Punishments such as those are from 1000's of years ago, when sentences were much harsher. It was before the time of grace that Jesus bought with his blood. Have you read the story of the adulteress who was caught in the act? Many men wanted to stone her to death because that was the law according to Deuteronomy. Jesus began to write in the sand, telling each man in turn what he had been doing the other weekend (committing adultery or various other mortal sins), and each in turn left. When all her accusers were gone, Jesus asked her where her accusers were, and she said they are all gone. So Jesus then said to her : John 8:10-11 said: “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, sir.”[b] And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and from now on do not sin again.”
Hebrews 9:22 said: 22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. Jesus shed his own blood so that we might be forgiven our sins, because there is no sacrifice of animal or treasure that could ever forgive them. Hebrews 10 : Christ's Sacrifice Once and for All Hebrews 10:1-10 said: Hebrews 10 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 The shortcoming of the law is that it condemns everyone equally. But the power of grace is that everyone who believes on the name of Jesus Christ and repents has their sins forgiven.
