Hey i posted some stories but you guys all skipped them.THEY WERE AWESOME!go backa few pages and you'll see mine Deathowl. One of these was when they stole copper from the unit upstairs. THey stole sinks and showers too. They had turned off teh water so when another tenant complained of having no water, a plumber came out and turned it back on. So that night the water was running upstairs. It found its way through the electrical conduit and the cracks in the concrete and started to fill our unit up with water. On the easter Sunday i came in just to take in some gear people were returning. And thats when i saw it. I walked into the service dept and then SPLOOSH. what the.... and then i turned on the lights. Water was EVERYWHERE! We had so many people come in to help move eveyrthing and dry the premisis. Ended up calling some friends to help too. A week later when we were assessing the damage. THERE WAS NONE! Things were a little dirty and needed drying out but there was no damage what so ever!The chemdry and the insurance people were both suprised. And so were we. Well then it was all about THANKS GOD!! THANKS HEAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It could have potentially been THOUSANDS and thousands of dollars damage. Not to mention possibly having to replace the amps and speakers people had given us to repair.The buckets we had to keep emptying every 2-3 minutesWater pouring down the side of the wall & on top of the drivers and cabinet hardwareThose white smudges/streaks in teh center of the image is water pouring down from above. sploosh. All the repairs amps and dj lights were sitting on the ground here. We've moved them here. They were all in excellent condition even after getting wet.All the vehicles here was to help clean up the shop.As you can see. Heaps of water. No damage. And we didn't have to claim on insurance. The Landlord covered it! Thanks again God! You pwn!
someone get this guy a clue. its amazing how you think god saved you from "thousands" of dollars from water damage.YETmillions of jews (gods chosen people) died in nazi concentration camps with no form of intervention at all.either your that arrogant or a idiot
Edit: I have seen someone come back from the dead. HA!
i think krasher said the same thing back near page 1 but when it came to details it turned out he didnt even see it with his own eye or sum bullshit. please give us your story. And congrats on finally writing replys i can read without a translator :thumb:AlsoFree Will is bullshit.believe in God or goto Hell!WHERES THE FREE WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!free would be believe in god and goto heaven or dont believe in god and goto paradise where there is no god but no eternal damnation either!
You wont be punished if you eat beef or pork. Because Jesus has made all of those things ok to eat. Christianity preaches, as long as you give thanks for the food it is ok to eat. so if you feel like scorpions in China to try it out. GO for it! Its your choice!
The bible also says along with eternal punishment in hell there is seperation from God. So the seperation from God part is a big thing they teach too if not as equally important as the lake of fire. The seperation aspect is something i do not want according to my beliefs.
Also the reason i started to follow Christianity and not any other religion is that anyone could come to God. You wont expected to do anything major but give you heart to the Lord(which can be a real difficult thing to do for some people) but it's truely awesome when they do.
Yes but catholics firmly believe that transubstantiation is actual. My complete inability to reconcile that with the fact that the bread and wine had clearly undergone no physical change, was one of the early cracks in the facade of faith I was being raised in.The physical universe exists with or without our presence and understanding. Being sentient in such an oblivious environment is a powerful incentive to add some sort of meaning to your personal story.
basically becoming christian is giving away your free will
The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.
church talk IS on topic because it is strongly related to religion. Now can you christians stop trying to change topic when people make good points. Just because you want to ignore the truth. You know it's true so you ignore it.
The problem with religious people, is they're brainwashed. Being religious IS having a mental illness. It's like an addiction . They couldn't stop if they tried. They also get themselves soo worked up over what they think is true that they confuse it with being fact. Theres no use trying to change them. This thread is therefore, pretty useless
Frankly, I think I would know if I was a brainwashed fool -
Do people know that they are brainwashed? I thought the point was for them not to know?
Anyway, Religion wins again. I have done a few seconds of research regarding voids post about mental health. According to LOTS of separate research there IS a positive correlation between GOOD mental health and church attendance/support.
It seems to me to be a pretty no brainer than religious people would suffer less from mental illnesses than non-religious people. I mean on the one hand there's a group of people with the belief that this is but a stepping stone to nirvana, while on the other there's a group of people that see this as a fairly quick and bleak existance in the greater scale of things!On a mass average, I am sure one group would have a few more misgivings about life in general? Religion, it's like a natural anti-depressant I guess, regardless of whether it is right or wrong.
Could you christians explain what simons post means? Instead of pretending it isn't there.
This whole thread is fatally flawed. religion vs science is about as meaningful as cooking vs car racing. Science has nothing to say about the existence of god(s) or otherwise, and religion has nothing to do with science, beyond when a few crackpots try to claim that personal beliefs overrule observation.There are many people who believe in various god(s) who are also scientists, there are also many people who profess no belief in god(s) who wouldn't understand the scientific method if it bit them on the arse
