Very cool

I was told today that the pants hanging low thing was a sign in prison of "availability." If that's so, I wonder all these guys walking around with their pants down are signaling the same thing.

I've been told the same thing and I'm sure they're aware but just don't care.

Spartacus (Starz)

I don't play anything but the organ but I have two real close friends that both write and sing their own music! They tried to get me to play my organ in their band but its one of those things you keep behind closed doors!

Heres one of their songs that they wrote when the one on the right wife left him.

Both are nice but I like the first one best as well.

I think this sums up my views on Religion.

Thanks! Been waiting for this since I seen it used in one of your videos.

Found this pretty entertaining.

I want to be downloaded onto a satellite and shot off into space to forever scoot around at tremendous speed. When the missus dies I hope she can be uploaded too. I want see a star explode. Witness a black hole. Hopefully with time I can be recalled to wherever mankind is and be uploaded to a new body to start again.

If I just die as normal I'll still die happy knowing that I existed and did the best I could with what I have.

Reminded me of a movie idea I wrote once.

Earthquakes everywhere and all oil is gone. People are turning their backs on God everyday left and right. Then the unthinkable great nuclear war breaks out. After a while they start to see that there is no saving this world we all have destroyed. They gather a great team of the world’s smartest scientists “the ones that are left”, kind of like the Manhattan project in the forties. They figure out a way to transfer your conscious into a server or big computer like the matrix. The fighting forces realize that there will never be a winner in their war so they combine their forces to make this project happen before the effects of their war makes it impossible. When complete they plot a course into space for this server type thing that will take them on a ten billion year trip with an unlimited solar power supply. In case an asteroid or something destroys earth, the server will still survive. So in the server when one conscious dies it’s just replayed into someone else kind of like a digital version of reincarnation or reborn to someone’s personal criteria. To make a mockery of the few Christians left they come up with biblical like rules to choose who gets to be placed into the server before the effects of their war kills off everyone, proclaiming its God ending the world not the effects of the war. What they don’t realize that it’s really God’s final straw that forces him to end the world. In his final act before the great glory in the true heaven, God grants them a thousand years of peace in their server heaven before he turns it into the hell we read about today in the bible and only takes the Christians that stayed behind waiting for God to return and he welcomes them to the true Heaven.

you would think, if the bible and such were so pure/factual/etc there would be no way 38000 different religions would stem from it..
this fact alone would make me stop and really consider my position on believing.. sigh..

Doesn't matter how many denominations are out there,just believing that Jesus died for our sins and he is our God and creator is the best start. All other falls in to place.

I do think both Brodie and Jason have a firm grasp on their faith and I commend them for taking the time to share that belief. Whether you agree with it or not.

I also agree

@unknownuser said:

Has any believer questioned their thinking after reading the non believer responses?

Not at all, a friend told me once and I'm not sure this would get him where he wanted to go but thought it fit the question. He said He'd rather believe and be wrong than not believe and be right.

Awesome!!!!!!

Factors such as 'love' are not evidence for the existence of God...and certainly not a precise Abrahamic one. My dog loves me...in a totally unreserved way; and by any definition of the word. Does that make him christian and bound for glory? Evidence is that which is normally understood as such...the kind of thing that would satisfy a forensic lab.

That is the only thing that does vaguely annoy me...when dyed-in-the-wool theists attempt to draw some kind of spurious equivalence between the proof for God and the proof for some scientific theory or another. There is no such equivalence and it's a totally bogus and dishonest practice to maintain that there is. Faith is faith; it's not subject to scientific probity; get over it. But that does not mean that science is a 'faith' or 'belief' or 'religion'.

Scientific theory entails:-
a) An understood process (maybe not always fully inderstood, as yet, but at least in a general sense.
b) A process which is predictable.
c) A process which is repeatable.
There is not one aspect of God that meets even one of these criteria; that's why belief is called Faith. He moves in mysterious ways...the very antithesis of scientific process.

There's nothing remotely 'subjective' about scientific theory. If there was, the electrons rushing through the CPU of the machine I'm typing this on could just as easily deliver me a burger and fries as the contents of this forum page. The quantum mechanics that precisely determine the function of that CPU are exactly the same quantum mechanics that point beyond any doubt to the fact of the Big Bang and the processes that followed in its wake.

I think this is the best post I've read here yet, Thanks

The people I really feel sorry for are those that are so materially deadened that they can spend a small fortune on illuminating their house, apparently leaving them so broke can't even spare a single penny for a charitable cause; or so worn out that they can't even drag their fat arse of the sofa as far as the front door. There might be some unknown mitigating circumstances of course, but if not, those are the true spiritually dead...whether they call themselves religious, agnostic or atheist. But that's a whole other topic.

Second best!

whoever mirrored that didn't do a very good job of adding wedding bands to their 'left' hands.. barack looks like he had his ring finger dismembered then reattached instead of wearing a ring..

Never said it was real,just thought it was funny.

On my first post it shows just a little scrap piece of crown molding with tee shirt like material glued to it. I used some 3M Super 77 Multipurpose Adhesive let it dry good then sprayed two coats of clear lacquer over it. I'm a little worried about the seasonal movement making the fabric loss also. But the image in the first post is just my first test. It seemed pretty easy to do and pretty rigid, will do more test tho.

May have done this on purpose or maybe they don't know there right from their left?

Have you seen Todd's table?

Nice thanks for the link. His skill seems far beyond mind but I'll post pics when done.

Has anyone ever tried covering bare wood trim with fabric? If so does it hold up? I know I know, seems kinda weird but I have a unique request from a customer and I'm just doing some test for now.

I now know why this area is called the corner bar, because if you stay long enough you're bond to see or be apart of a fight in some way shape or form!
