    My take on salvation through Jesus Christ

    More and more, I'm seeing two conflicting orders, one of irrationality and pointlessness, and one of rationality and justice. You see it in interwoven everywhere in nature. There's so much that's organized and harmonized and so much that's equally chaotic. I see Jesus, as well as Socrates, as...

    Why are Christians such prudes?

    Well, it was when you asked me why I think sex is evil. That's what I was referring to.

    Why are Christians such prudes?

    :sigh: I never said sex, in itself was evil. However, being that its such a powerful thing since it has to do with the reproduction of our species, it should be treated with the greatest reverence. Its not something to be taken lightly. Its one of the greatest forms of intimacy, and you really...

    Encounter With Police Drains Me

    I got a ticket for going through a stop sign. I was certain I stopped, but after pressing the cop, he said I slowly creeped through the stop sign without coming to a complete stop. It was late at night, no one was on the road at all. The traffic was completely empty, it was a 15mph street, and...

    Why are Christians such prudes?

    Hmm, well I'm against the inappropriate contentographication of culture, because it can get really deranged if people just act on all their lusts, unhindered. If you've read up on countries like Thailand, where prostituition is rampant, they're like modern day Sodoms. I really don't think any culture should...

    Vegetable Gardens Are Booming in a Fallow Economy

    Why wait till spring? Prep the ground now to make sure it has the right PH and nutrient content for when you're ready to plant.

    Tomato blight is no joke

    Trucking in seedlings thousands of miles sounds inefficient and expensive. Its really not good for the environment. Last year I grew all mine from seed. Its really not that hard. It just takes a bit of pre-planning. Unfortunately, I got blight too last year. It adversely affected my yield.

    Can you meet girls at church?

    lol, nah I'm not. There's some girls I'm soooo glad I didn't date. I know for a fact I'm way happier single than if I was with them. People in general have issues. Its not just women in church. I have these episodes like this where i turn into a sentimentalist though. It could be said I have...

    Can you meet girls at church?

    Hmm, you have a point. I'll keep that in mind. My dad met my mom in a church, but that;s probably really rare. I've avoided church's in the past just because of the kind of gossip that goes on and the arrogant attitudes. Its prob not in all church's, but its pretty common.

    Can you meet girls at church?

    oh ok. Yah, I was just curious about if it presents those types of social opportunities in a more wholesome way. I was hoping people would give me some examples of how they met their wives or fiances there or whatever. Its a sensitive subject for me. I shouldn't have asked on the internet...

    Can you meet girls at church?

    oh ok. I'm not saying I expect the church to be some type of dating service for me. Its complicated. I don't really care to explain.

    Can you meet girls at church?

    Well, that's not the only purpose I'd go. I never said that. I'd go for communing in general.It probably is some antiquated thing. I shouldn't have bothered asking.

    Can you meet girls at church?

    I'm not really talking about picking up women. I just want to meet women. Its not really a sexual pursuit for me like meeting someone in a bar, more of an emotional one. I don't really want to have sex till marriage. I don't really care. I just look like an idiot now. I wish I never posted this.

    Can you meet girls at church?

    THATS NOT WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. ITS NOT!! I hate to type in all caps, but you have no idea how much that hurts and infuriates me.You really don't. My dad once told me that my grandmother told him to meet a girl in church. That's where he met my mother, who he's been married to for years. That...

    Can you meet girls at church?

    I've never had a gf, and I'd really like to have someone to spend time with and hold hands with. I've held this assumption that just being friends is the best tactic, but all I end up getting is a bunch of "galpals", as someone has derided me for in the past. I've been told I don't get past the...

    The Worship of Chaos and invocation of Cthonic Spirits

    lol, I read ya. It does lack a lot of inflection that face to face conversing would have. Yah, I actually know someone personally with depression who claims to worship Baal and chaos and is all into Mesopotamian folklore. I think it has to do with the futile feeling of being an agent, consumed...

    So... God ALLOWS you to choose to be tortured forever?

    Well, being in heaven is being one with God, and God is love. If you reject God's love and don't live your life through that love, then when you die, you'll remain separated from it. That's what I think hell really is.
