It was a little dig - nothing meant by it from anyone - its a fun Board, dont worry about it - I hope you find what you are looking for. Its never easy when you first start out Regards Zy
To say "God DOES NOT exist!" is really an impossible statement and is like believers saying He does exist without adequate proof. We just cannot say for sure if He does or doesn't exist. In fifty years of looking at this I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I have heard a devout religious individual of whatever faith say that. You get a free voucher to spend next time you are in the store <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2
"Yes! You're right! THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE! And yet, THERE IT IS, RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! What are you going to do now, huh?" Having seen it and knowing it exists - sign up But in the end, the question comes down to this: are you willing to concede the possibility that there are things that no rational thought or logical argument can prove or disprove? Of course. 500 years ago no way could we even contemp
Assuming it wasnt a CV pitch with a difference, try these below. May sound wacky, but once you get into them they will make you think in a totally different way much to your own benefit. Read in the following order (not expensive Amazon carry them all): The Angel Inside by Chris Widener The EMyth Revisited by Michael E Gerber Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert T Kiyosaki They are not wacky journals of "Alternative ..... whatever". If you read them carefully, perse
You can neither prove God with words, nor disprove him. Believe in the Celestial Teapot, and it shall set you free. I am also a fan of the Celestial Teapot. It has an uncomfortable ring of truth to it for many devout believers of many Faiths. I am a fan not because it makes them feel uncomfortable, but because it deftly expresses the way I feel on the topic. I have searched, asked, delved, prodded - vertually every way you can think of short o
I guess for those of us who do not believe, it is puzzling What I find even more puzzling, is why, when the question of where is the evidence / facts for the existence of a Supreme Deity - what ever phrase you want to use - is asked by anyone genuinely seeking to find out and evaluate, the ensuing discussion always plunges into the philosophical merits / background - whatever - of religion. Anything but answer the question. The closest I get it is e
I certainly dont believe there is any conspiracy afoot, but I do think there is an element of what some may consider to be naivity in the standards of explanations people will accept in this day and age. I consider myself fortuate to have a number of clerics amongst my closest friends from the days when I was in the Army, we have many sensible and lively discussions on the topic naturally, and each time we have one, I learn more. However, from my perspective, despite looking for, and s
the cross was the form of exacution that the romans used. today we use the needle in most states it was the semi or fully educated individuals that hung him on the cross I maybe a non believer in a Supreme Deity, but dont assume I do not know the basics, or even many of the more involved theories and beliefs. None of the statements made, or similar ones I have been offered in other circumstances address
today he would have been given the needle, the cross was just a tool I'm sorry, but is it any wonder that I cant take this seriously.... Why I continue to search - fruitlessly - in such discussions amongst - what in all other circumstances - are sane logical individuals. The year is 2007, not 1307, competition for the most esoteric and profound sounding statement does not cut it with "The Masses" any more. It worked in 1307 because t
to get to heaven just follow jesus example........... and qualify by being nailed to a cross for a few days, ensure your last moments on Earth are in excruitiating agony, and inform passers by that I am doing it for them. A kind of flippant response I agree, but am equally sure you will understand where I am coming from. Regards Zy

That doesn't mean Christianity is stupid; just that the for-the-masses version has huge holes in it. Please, Be Clear, very very clear - My comment is not (once again - "is not") directed at the individual who offered this little gem, I have heard it intoned many times. To me it exemplifies the arrogance evident in many parts of the ruling hierarchy of many Christian Faiths. It shouts loud and clear that we the masses should not worry our prett
"well hello, nice of to drop in to this artilce about "self effacing moral high ground" you seem to like that phrase, as you used it three time in your comment." Good to see you can count - education is such a wonderful thing. "All I am saying is People can do MORE to help their fellow man. That is the short and sweet of the content of the article" Sorry to burst your bubble - but all I am saying is its not that simple. That
Take a deep breath and repeat after me ........ "The Sun will rise tomorrow, The Sun will rise ..... "
I confess I dont use ObjectDeskTop - Forgive Me Stardock For I have Sinned. However, I am thinking of getting into it - I did get WindowsBlinds many years ago in an early incarnation, but never really got further into it. As an impressive side note, many years later I get into GalCiv and discover the full scope of Stardock for the first time. So, I register GalCiv II having got hooked, open Stardock Central in the course of my travels for further knowledge on Stardock, and sitting t
Thank you for the little light relief. However, I'm thinking you need to be brought a little closer to Jesus There's a $10 entry fee tho ..... Quite apart from the fact that life is too short to rush to meet one's Maker due to a dispute over $10 - Stardock do a good job in my view, and deserve their success. Even if its all a conn - and we pander to the Lifetime Conspiracy Lovers vision of a nightmare under every stone regardless of fac
eeek double post for some reason - deleted the second one
You could kill 50,000 of them and capture 1,000,000 tons of munitions and related material, and it would not make a jot of difference. It is this central facit of the conflict that has gone over the heads of the "vapourise the bad guy - problem solved" Brigade. All we can do in the Military is provide a breathing space for Political solutions, that is the Core nature of thew role of the military in Conflicts, it cannot and will never be a solution in
Of course there is nothing new here, it has long been known by many down the Ages, the key point is that the Church has allowed it to fester. In the modern day and age, we demand concrete evidence in a court of law - for good reason, although in cases such as this there is a temptation to short cut the system. As to why the initial comment is against the Catholic Church, that’s self evident, its the largest Christian Church, and arguably the
"Just a question, how would someone go about putting the Churches 'house' in order? also what would that look like?" Good question, frankly I personally dont know, I do not have the depth of knowledge of the Church internal politics to be able to put together a lasting solution. I believe the values that Religion in general, Christianity in particular, have great value in following in order to achieve a balanced life. I dont subscribe to
It is time the Catholic Church finally dealt with this disgraceful conduct once and for all within its ranks, and stop issuing pious statements of forgiveness and other ridiculous spin driven claptrap. The recent disclosure of an out of court settlement in a class action against the LA Diocese, brings to a head an ongoing saga of depravity and inhumane treatment by t
I had just put this on the old 1.6 thread not realising this one was running and the other probably now a dead one, so a double post, but with good intentions Fleets - when upgrading the ships within a Fleet it is the Click Fest to end all Click Fests.

Just remembered another one thats been in and out of my mind for a while - keep forgetting to post it. Fleets - when upgrading the ships within a Fleet it is the Click Fest to end all Click Fests. I can minimise it from screaming frustration to mere passionate head banging as i play heavily armoured/full weapon array ships , not the mega numbers of small ships. The latter can be a large number with Logistics at 54 or 63. Whilst accepting many Fleets are of a mixed ship type
Do you think this is possible? I do. You really should put down those Arthur C Clarke novels and get out more. Strange things happen, so I guess who knows - I have even met a Board Chairman who actually believed his Company Marketing, strange guy, but takes all sorts to make a world Regards Zy
The sky is falling, the sky is falling!! and it hit me right on my head!! run for your lives!!! Ahhhh - that explains the Post then
