    What do Protestants have in common with Islam?

    And just who in the hell says that central authority is better? Weren't the evil, evil, evil conquistadors Catholics? Heard the phrase "A sword in one hand and a Bible in the other" ?

    WHY is homosexuality sinful?

    Though I personally reject both fornication and homosexuality, here I'm not saying anything is wrong. I'm just saying that I can't see how it's possible to reject one and keep the other. We don't offer burnt sacrifices and we don't get smote for picking up sticks on the (in my opinion still...

    "Soft" images from a digital SLR?

    1. 350D has a fantastic sensor. 2. Same as above. 3. Possibility 4. Could be a low quality lens. 5. Yeah... the darn thing could simply be out of focus. 6. Yep. 7. Too high an f-stop can cause this by grace of diffraction, the shutter speed shouldn't matter though. 8. Not so with any camera I've...

    WHY is homosexuality sinful?

    The Bible says that fornication is wrong and it says that homosexuality is wrong. I don't see how you can ok one and reject the other. That's called Cafeteria Christianity and is, in my opinion, very, very, very unhealthy. This doesn't of course answer the question of this thread, but I...

    what do you guys think about this hell website?

    Yeah, that site is very creepy, and it's full of BS, Olga's "vision" for example. I was listening to the 4th Hungarian Rhapsody when I entered that site, and it started playing some awkward, AWFUL music, totally ruining the experience. I didn't like it at all.

    A few pitcures

    My equipment consists of a Nikon Coolpix 5700, a tripod that was thrown away by something (missing one little knob). I've taken great interest in panoramic photography, and I'm considering fabricating some sort of panoramic swivel out of acrylic so that I can take 40 potos repeatably and use...

    A few pitcures

    I neither remember nor noted any of the settings, sorry. Here is a spider that walks on water. Frost on barbed wire. Fog sublimed onto wood. I heard that this almost never happens anywhere in the world except for my backyard: the pacific NW. A panorama of boring weather. A...

    Would God LIE to us?

    Infinite punsihment seems cruel, but I don't see how it implies that Yhwh might lie. I mean, it's all spelled out rather clearly, isn't it? Yhwh promised many things but turned back in the early OT, but in all cases the change of mind was a response to something like a gold calf being made...

    Are tatoos wrong?

    I don't think it's sinful, but I find it detestable. I tend to lose respect for anyone I see wearing a tattoo. But I'm a puritan. Concerning earings (male & female), nail polish, noisemaking shoes, etc, simile.

    Christian "Hate" Groups?

    I have absolutely no respect for them. At all. Not even a little.

    Would you date an atheist? Parents- would you let your offspring date an atheist?

    No, and probably not. I always think long term, and I don't think I could possibly sustain a relationship with a non-believer. It's not that I don't like non-believers, it's just the compatibility.

    Cigar smokers please read

    Smoking is, IMO, foolish; but if you MUST smoke, cigars are certainly better since they're far more pure as compared to cigs.

    Blow dart gun..?
