My reason for choosing Intelligent Design is this: Even if I weren't religious, would a Random-Chance world be quite as complex? I mean, yeah, it could be complex, but would it be as complex?
Ok. We all know and love (or pity) Barack Obama. However, when he speaks about change, how does he back it up? His plan to fix our economy is to lower our dependence on foreign energy, which will be done by fixing our economy. Nevermind that people can build smart cars that run off his hot air, he doesn't provide any change. He can say he will, but really, to tell the truth, he'd just let others try their systems of change. Sure he'd do this and that, but, unlike McCa
Obama- Infinite Loop candidate. He'll take us to infinity, but not beyond. Infinite waiting for "change".
[quote]Yeah, but they do it with WEAPONS.[/quote] I could kill without a weapon just as easily as I could with. Which is pretty darn unlikely. Even if I tried.
You're back!
[quote]Feel all you want, but you're not. Christ is. But He wants to be more important to you than your blog, and numerous other things.[/quote] Yes, and He is how I've succeeded in this fight so far.
[quote]Get the computer the HELL out of your room, and put it in a public place, where there's plenty of foot traffic and you're never really alone, for crap's sake.[/quote] I'm an identical twin. I get plenty of foot traffic to my computer. [quote]In that case, your parents need to restrict your computer usage.[/quote] Yes, but then I lose this blog, and numerous other things I'm not quite prepared to lose until it's a last resort. [quote]15? That explains a lot.
[quote]It's not nearly as hard to avoid pornography as it is to avoid lust. The struggle isn't just with a computer, or a magazine, or an image - it's with everything you see. I recommend the book "Every Man's Battle." Use the library. Maybe it's the solution. But more important is having other Christian men praying with you and helping you. It's not just you, it's every man. Seriously. Not necessarily pornography, but lust.[/quote] I've heard of that, and I plan to get it as s
[quote]I'm just going to throw this out there. Start reading Savage Love - www.avclub.com/content/savagelove[/quote] Well, it's nice to see people with problems, but it won't help me. It's not a source of help to that point. [quote]If, after going through a few columns, you still think you have sexual issues, go see a sex counsellor, for you I'd recommend a religious one who doesn't think sex is bad, so avoid the Methodists and the Catholics. You want someone who's a bit embarra
[quote]Listen, erathoniel, lots of men enjoy sexy images. If a woman expects perfection from you, she's not worth being with anyways. Just be honest. [/quote] Yes, I know, but I can't settle for imperfection in myself. I'd be honest, sure, but would anyone accept me? [quote]It's good that you have a block but obviously your plan isn't working. Have you considering going forward at church and making your struggle public? You might be surprised how many men you respect have b
[quote]I don't think porn itself is a problem. Being a slave to something obviously is, and too much reliance on porn can cause problems in real life relationships.[/quote] It's an addiction. I don't want it, but I do it anyways, logically knowing I shouldn't. [quote]Do you have a relationship with a woman or is that something you're even interested in? I get the impression that you have not ever been in a relationship. I would focus on making connections with real women. [/q
Back again today.
Will they start pulling books because they violate the Bible? If so, I have a list.
40+. I'm a professional gamer. And that's not talking about pay or anything, that's me doing it like it's my day job.
Mortality, I believe, came from the fruit of good and evil. Are Adam and Eve alive?
I just went back. I shouldn't have. Now I wonder if it's possible to kick the habit.
I'm gonna be arrogant again, and say that I'm not the kind who fails like that.
[quote]even me? I'm about choice not requirement. [/quote] Exactly.
[quote]REQUIRE?!? [/quote] See, even you find that too overkill and amoral.
For a long time (many years, at least three [tells you a lot about my bookkeeping, doesn't it?]), I have been fighting an addiction to pornography. To tell you the truth, it had to end. It was my greatest shame in my life, and keeping it secret was killing me. I tried, over and over, to quit, but was deterred from help, and then, I honestly turned to God. Why? Because I am greater than the addiction. For years it had fed, often on a daily basis, aided by the internet and easy access to materi
[quote]Right, and how much does a kid on welfare for his lifetime cost us all ??? And all you born-agains, evangelists and other such (lazy types that let someone else do your thinking for you)... You are entitled to live any way you please, BUT... YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT entitled to shove that stuff on ANYONE ELSE ! I'll go you one better: provide abortion services AND require permanent sterility (removal of either uterus or ovaries) AND when the father is found and identified, make him pay f

[quote]PS - babies don't breathe in the womb, LOL. [/quote] Quote format. Second off, they have entire circulatory function.
[quote] I think you are deliberately being obtuse. There is a medical need to have an abortion when the mother chooses to terminate the pregnancy. [/quote] A medical want, you are totally being selfish if you have an abortion simply because you choose to. There is no justice in allowing any woman to have an abortion for convenience. [quote]I can't think of anything. Do you want to enlighten me? [/quote] Given your viewpoints, lobotomy. [quote]But you are saying tha
[quote]Not so. Hatred is a poison to one's heart and soul. We should never hate, even sin. What we should do is not sin.[/quote] We'll have to agree to disagree here. God hates sin, therefore we should too, and we should never tolerate it.
