Is there a way to reconcile science and religion? One can be religious without being scientific, or be scientific without being religious. One can’t do both, not at the same time. They are two contradictory elements of thinking. Science knowledge is acquired by reason. Religion is acquired by making shit up. Another term one might use is faith. Faith = “m
I am thinking of a new concept. You may call it God, or you may call it the third man. A projected image of yourself from the outside. Your thought and feeling about this imaginary being/rock/critical judiciary is very clear, and somewhat wrather insignificant in a slighted offhanded way. Some call it your conscience, who is this consciense really, i
First off, let me say that Deism and agnostics are NOT mutually exclusive terms. Agnostic is a statement about knowledge. Agnostics believe it is not possible to know God. Agnostics and atheists are not mutually exclisive either. Most Christians are agnostic, even though they may not think themselvs this way, it is simply a fact. Even the Bibl
This country's founding father Thomas Paine has paved the way to freedom. Freedom to gain an education and learn how to think. Once we have accomplished the discipline of reason, we begin to be free. Finaly to be free. This country will never support a Muslim religion, or any extreme religion, because the majority already know how to think. Thinking is the freedom Mr Paine brought us. We
Katrina After reading this link Katrina it dawns on me how much people love to point fingers and publish crap. Homeland security is not "natural disaster security" The Federal Gov has never meant to be used for fixing Natural Disaster's. It is the State's responsiblity to correct these issues and to have plans and
For the most part. Sin just doesn't exist. Except in the mind of a believer in this falsley promoted concept. Sin is for the guilty. Guilt is cause by a belief in sin. But sin only exist in the mind, it really don't exist in reality. Immoralit exists, but sin doesn't. At least not for everyone. In most people, sin exists in the mind. In people who ha
Yea, I read Mark Twain's Letters from the Earth. It was delightfully funny. That is what makes our religious differences (or lack thereof) so ironic.
I went to "walk away" aimoo site to post it. It is a site for Christians who have walked away from the Faith. My wife was Married to a priest, before she married me. That last sentence wasn't for you(foreverserenety), it was just for the blog. My blog is at "foxjazz.blogspot. com" I have a few things on their related to religion, and such. On the point of "Faith" and Religion, we will have to continue to disagree. I have a "vision" of Jesus, and actually u
Exactly, and speaking only for yourself, what makes you believe you are correct? And if there is a possiblity that you are not correct, is it right or wrong to recruit others to your way of believing(thinking)? Speaking for yourself I assume you mean that you worship Christ (the right Christ). Yes pointing out the deaths has the significance of pointing out evil, and corruption of "true believers". How can they be believers at the same time they do evil? They must not believe i
Their laptops are ok. Their pc's suck comparitavely. The don't do AMD, so basically they suck. Dude I built my first dual core Athlon X2 over the weekend. It rocks. Regards
Little, you can find the facts here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/waco/renoopeningst.html It was David Koresh who did not surrender, it was his clan, his mistake, his fault. His religion, his mistake his fault. David was the one that caused the vieolence: Six hours went by, six hours, and still no one came out. The rest you know. The Branch Davidians were recorded while they spread the fuels used to ignite the fire that resulted in the deaths of al
Well, the problem I see is that at what point do "Christians" not worship the God they think they are worshipping. Are you saying that Mormon's worship the same Christian God as the Catholics, and the Catholics worship the same as the Prodestants, and the Prodestants the same as the Charasmatics because they all fall under the allegedly Historical Jesus? And what of Allah and the Jew, are they worshipping the same God? It's termed good Faith (not fate).... Yes this is all in go
Thanks for your comments. Now I have a question about the Christian religion. How do you know you worhship the Christian God? I mean, do you point to it and call it God. Do you think about it and call it God. Is it an image in your head. A Name (and because of the Name you know it is)? What differentiates one Christian God worhipper from Another? Are they truly the same God? Does the configuration of the billions of neurons in your brain agree with the configuration of
Your correct. I should not have encrypted. Why do you accuse me of being unclear of thought? I am beggining to understand what you mean about peace (peace of mind, clear thought). You mean being in the threshold of that tension between two states, where one doesn't overpower the other. Anyway, I appreciate your comments, and look forward to the rest of it. Regards, Fox
I was not trying to be particularly "clear" in what was written. And I thought that would be "painfully obvious". Kinda like a code of sorts. I was simply trying to say that I respect what you have said, and yes I am somewhat Kantian, but I am also non Kantian. Not everything is universal is obvious. Thought is not universal. But some things are, like milk has protien that feeds our bodies. I guess I am really and Infidel whatever the hell that is. And you may separate integrit
Is it possible to rationalize what he is saying or even understand it? Is there a reason to be rational? This is an old soul speaking about life. I am not a magickian, but I knew one once. He still goes to church on Sundays, probably with his three children. He still lives this life. There are still happy times that lay in wait. And even if others don't understand, the few that do aren't going to kill rational thought with silence. Integrity is still alive, it is still
Mason's are reknown sun worhippers. The sun at the top of the pyramid on the back of the dollar is a Mason symbol. Its funny how so many missed it. And Atheism is mutually exclusive with Christian or Deism. However Agnostic is NOT mutually exclusive. The word a infront of gnostic is NOT Gnostic. NO knowledge of God can be obtained or known. The Bible mentions this many many many times. It is funny how people only see what they want to see cause they think they know.
Ok, the only way I have made this work is using photoshop loading it from a png file (having ss convert it first to png). I personally love Corel Painter, however it doesn't support tng files I don't think I want to buy Photoshop elements, because doing text with
I have been troubleshooting this for hours. I use jasc PSP or corel painter and tga files aren't saved in 32bit format required for SS. I have tried importing png files they want to import to a BMP, not to tga. in Skin studio. I am downloading photoshop to see if I can get a file to export tga that ss will use. That seems to be where people are having the best luck. I have read the forums concerning TGA (search) and notices some ha
I am trying to blog with navigator, and there is very little support from stardock. I push the publish or post button after creating an artical, and I basically get nothing, no error, no response, nothing. Also in reading some blogs from microsoft, I get error messages cannot parse. Is blogging changing so much that developers can't keep up with changes?<
I have an answer! The reason a lot of people fine it offensive is that they were betrayed by that particular concept of God and it triggers those memories which probably aren't pleasant. Many people have had associated the name of Jesus with unpleasant memories or controling factors other people wield. It depends on who you ask. Muslim prayer and concepts are less offensive because there are no negative human associations with it in the immediate community like California. Ther
That is pretty sad. You think the Democrats have a clear vision? Shit, about as clear as a fishtank that hasn't been cleaned in 8 years. The party is all over the place. What clear vision?
My friend has a point!
A dataTable is an inMemory Table that can belong to an in memory database. Not sure why you would want to import a flatfile directly to a database anyway. A flat file can represent many tables and changes in a database that need to go through a process for updating data in a database. Also flat files are normally not normalized. This code is highly useful when creating a datainterface. Take an excel spreadsheet or a flatfile created from excell or access, and run them through an interfa
Well I found a cool piece of code to import CSV files via oleDB in .net. The code I found was ok, it was in c#, however I translated to vb.net (cause that is what I am currently using). Here is the code: 'You must provide the dataTable you want to fill, and the Fully qualified filename (path & filename). Public Shared <FONT color=#
