    ANZAC Day...what does it mean to you...will you be doing anything to commemorate it ?

    I think all this confusion can be avoided if people knew general definitions for things: No, war isn't about revenge necessarily. Surely you can't seriously think that can you? And even if it were, it's not as clear cut as you present it. Most wars are started for reasons completely other than...

    ANZAC Day...what does it mean to you...will you be doing anything to commemorate it ?

    I probably didn't understand your simple point because you rambled here and there initially. You can equally apply that line of thinking to prostitution, would Jesus have told Mary Magdalene to be happy with her wages? Highly unlikely, in fact. No. If Jesus told the Roman soldier to be happy...

    ANZAC Day...what does it mean to you...will you be doing anything to commemorate it ?

    I congratulate for constructing a strawman out of what I said, attacking the strawman and rambling on in a nonsensical rampage about what exactly? I do not know. You're predicting answers are you? Your astute observations are divine, why are you fumbling around here with us common people when...

    ANZAC Day...what does it mean to you...will you be doing anything to commemorate it ?

    What are you talking about? You are touching 3 different points that have absolutely no bearing on one another. He wasn't addressing Christians, neither were there any "Christians" when he was alive, because they were all Jews and Romans. They Old Testament laws were not broken, and he was a...

    microsoft word wierd

    Try =rand.old() if that works, then try =rand.old(200,99) It's not a bug, it's a feature they built in to test how different fonts look like since that sentence has every letter in the alphabet, you get an idea of what the letters would look like in a font you want. It's not that...

    ANZAC Day...what does it mean to you...will you be doing anything to commemorate it ?

    It's amazing how many people around here claiming to be Christian can try and squeeze their misguided opinion about war and general and present it as if that's the way Jesus would have thought about it. In your minds, you're probably the same type that thinks Jesus had long blonde hair, blue...

    ANZAC Day...what does it mean to you...will you be doing anything to commemorate it ?

    Um, how many Japanese soldiers died in Australia? :confused: There were bombing raids in Darwin, but that was about. The mourning is done in Turkey, because we had 5000+ troops that died there, why would the Japanese want to come here and mourn when they didn't have any casualties here? If...

    ANZAC Day...what does it mean to you...will you be doing anything to commemorate it ?

    If you've got contrary views to soldiering, ANZAC day and whatever else, you are well entitled to it, but keep it out of this thread, you can rant and rave elsewhere. Jesus had nothing against the military, and people parading with this view are delusional. He told a Roman soldier to be happy...

    Ratzinger does not tolerate "freedom of ideas" in the "Catholic" church.

    "My Church is more popular than yours right now, so therefore it must be right" is the sentiment I get from some people's post here at the moment. Where are you getting these numbers of 400,000 people are leaving the RCC and joining yours, I'm sorry, are you leading the Baptist Church? I...

    I finally got the courage to stand up yesterday.

    Well there is no actual contradiction, because those are two separate issues altogether. This thread was about marriage, somewhere along the line this thread got derailed (as threads usually do) and we started discussing semantics. Now you're asking me why I can't see the contradiction, there...

    I finally got the courage to stand up yesterday.

    Well for now, let's all try to get along. It doesn't do me any harm to refer to non-believers as just that; non-believers. "Pagan" for some people can have negative connotations, so let's just all get along.

    There were Giants in days of old

    Your points are so far off track, there's no point in even arguing this further. You don't even realise the consequences of what you're babbling about: "why are there not millions of footprint weathering patterns just like it?" - IF there were millions of weathering patterns that looked like...

    I finally got the courage to stand up yesterday.

    I get the concept of an analogy thanks, and I also know what you were intending. Of course concepts can be created to explain things you need/want to have an explanation for, please re-read what you just said, there is nothing actually wrong with that! (So the point of your analogy was to state...

    I finally got the courage to stand up yesterday.

    This is incorrect, and it certainly wasn't created to simply explain this. I take it, you have absolutely no idea of what I'm talking about. Nice attempt at dismissing it by raising a strawman; "love for a rock" - it's all fun and games by creating a ruse and letting hilarity ensue whilst...

    I finally got the courage to stand up yesterday.

    Interesting quote in your signature. The notion of causation without the existence of the physical quantity of time is explained by the metaphysical concept of causation. They work mutually exclusively of each other, though they are not always necessarily different. I know that has nothing to...
