If God does not exist you are still fidning meaning in life right now so no it's not meaningless. If God does exist then it's the same thing. Life is what you make it whether God is in it or not.

I usually take care of the bills but only because my wife is by her own admission not very good at it. We both work and our checks go together. We never paid much attention to who's money goes where. It's always been "ours."

I talked to the wife about moving to Pakistan but she wouldn't go for it. I promised it would only be a small stick. She mumbled something about being used to small sticks or something like that and walked away.

Feel free to. You are allowed to be offended by whatever you find offensive. Doesn't mean anyone will care but you can still do it. Besides, the term westerner is still European in nature. You'd be complaining about your own anscestors.

Seems people are making a bigger deal of this than it is. It's just taking an archaic term for people out of government papers. The word isn't going anywhere when it comes to other things. You can still eat the Oriental Buffet and get yourself a nice Oriental rug. As for how it became this...

I don't understand young earth creationist at all and I don't think I ever will. They are allowed to have their views and I'm allowed to think they are woefully misguided.

Come on, of course it's offensive. Just because some people don't think it is doesn't mean it's not. Still lots and lots of people don't think the N word is but guess what. And I simply don't believe a poll that says 9 out of 10 native Americans aren't offended. Something wrong with that.

I have so far been very surprised by Winston. I thought for sure he'd be a bust and Mariota would be the one to really shine but he has done very well so far. Just hope it's not a one season thing. I like it when we have a nice crop of QB's and we need some new ones with Manning gone, Brady...

I've been reading about the possible Vegas move. I think that town might be a good fit for the Raiders. Vegas already has a Raiders fan attitude and the Raiders have a Vegas attitude. I'm not a huge fan of any team being in a city with legal gambling like Vegas but it's probably going to...

I think it is an internet thing for the most part. People tend to be meaner, snarkier, more sarcastic and over-the-top when online. The anonymity allows for behavior that is normally not acceptable by anyone. Heck, in my short time here I've seen people saying things that I don't think they...

Well that's not good, I hated standing before my father. It usually meant I was about to get my butt whooped.

I'm not a fan of the fire and brimstone approach either. It's not how I read it or how I feel it. I do believe I can be wrong of course but until I know for sure I can only go with how God speaks to me.

I absolutely think the Raiders have a shot this year. Once Al Davis died I figured they'd start building a real team and begin to be taken seriously. I wouldn't put money on them but I also won't be surprised if the win the AFC West.

I was talking about how someone who is agnostic or atheist is going to wade through a ton of books claiming to be the Word of God. Apparently that meant that not only had I not read the Bible but didn't believe it was real. That ticked me off and I said so. I wouldn't mind had it been a...

oops, didn't mean to curse. Sometimes I forget myself. :)

I like the Mormons that come to my door now and then. They are very polite and don't push too much and once even offered to mow my lawn because I hadn't got to it in a few days because of work. I almost let him. Probably should have. Anyway, I think they are misguided but they do believe in...

I don't pay that much attention to him but I've just noticed people sometimes get really [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ed at him and I wondered why if he's supposed to be Gods mouthpiece. I mean no disrespect to him or Catholics, just curious about it. I get what you're saying.

Because this is a Christian forum and we were discussing Christianity. Why would I even bring the others up in that particular discussion? Someone was telling me that I hadn't read the Bible, that I don't believe in the Bible and was also pushing away a person who is clearly seeking. I was...

I'm not Catholic so I can't speak to that too much but I do wonder if that's the case why do people get upset over things the Pope does? If God is speaking to us through him then what's the problem? Not looking for an argument, genuinely asking.

I can agree with most of that but my point and I think his was that many churches simply don't accept it. Not just the practice but the people themselves. If you're openly gay they don't want you. If you're transgender it's even worse. I'm not saying anything about homosexuality itself but in...
