Cause God's such a nice guy. Love me for leaving you under the care of the greatest evil in the universe and if you don't, I'll make sure you stay there!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I can follow that line of reasoning, but as to the origin of this thread ... I'm still waiting on ANY evidence that Ron Paul is "looney" and "racist".

Ok, that's the best I can do with the least amount of syllables ... I answered the question, Mrs. John Hagee, and I answered it rationally and succinctly.

Moving on ...

Noted ... again ...

Can we move on?

The simplest explanation isn't that there's only one since it creates more questions than it answers. It would be simpler to theorize that this "creator" were a member of a race of beings.

Instead of speculating on whether he's going to be re-elected or not, why don't we look at the candidates themselves? This back and forth argument about whether he COULD get re-elected or COULDN'T because of this arbitrary number system or that is a distraction from not only the issues, but the topic of this thread.

Fact: Until November 6th of next year, we're not going to know anything for certain, so its just wasted energy.

I think its also possible they'll do some of his short stories, like 'The Hedge Knight' and 'The Sworn Sword' to fill the void during those times. Guess we'll see. But yeah, a six year lull after the 6th season airs, after a one or two year lull following the 5th, would likely destroy HBO's interest.

Naught to do but hope for the best. hehehe.

Its irrational to insist that you know exactly how all natural forces work, since even scientists do not make that claim.

There is a theory that the universe continually explodes, expands, slows, then contracts and compacts just to do it all over again and though we know the relative age of the universe since the explosion that spawned the current era, there is no telling how many times this has occurred already or will continue to occur. Does it happen that way? We don't know, but its a good theory ... without any Gods.

And even with your claim that a God would have to exist outside of the Universe to create it, there is still nothing that would give any credence to the idea that there must be only one of them.

Season 2 will follow the events of 'A Clash of Kings'. It is an amazingly well done series so far, which I expected from HBO, considering their other original series.

My only concern is the pace at which the books are being written. lol. It took six years for 'A Dance With Dragons' to come to fruition, if that pace continues, the series will stall after season 5 in 2015 unless they stretch events and/or delve further into the surrounding events of the books.

How is a God required? True use of Occam's Razor would be that since we (and every creature we've encountered) have evolved over millions of years, the same requirement would be placed on any 'God'. Since that 'God' would have undergone the same evolutionary requirements, it would more accurately be described as a more advanced sentient being ... and more importantly, there could not be JUST ONE of them.

Oops, I'm so sorry, I used too many big words again. Here:

Me no hate Jew. Me no jump on wagon. Me say no like giving lots of money to stable country for thing they going to do anyway. If give Israel money, why give Jordan and other countries money not to attack Israel? Me no like spend so much money for one nation when we need it.

If me no like give 3.2 billion monies to Japan (another developed country with China, Russia and Korea nearby) every year, does that make me Asian-hater?

These may be obvious questions, but ... Is this a created DVD or an actual movie? Did you account for any logo clips before the feature or following the credits that may explain your discrepancy?

I'm running Win7 Ultimate 64-bit on 2 gigs of RAM and a 3.0 Ghz Athlon X2 (dual core) and I'm doing fine. 2 gigs is the minimum for Win7. There are moments when it takes a several seconds to open large programs like Photoshop, but otherwise, the performance is great.

Those first three words described your intelligence level, so I'll drop some of the big words and repeat what I said in my previous post, I'm pissed about many things undeserving of our tax dollars (as well as companies like GE who paid no taxes). I'm also against sustaining welfare indefinitely ... I suppose that also makes me racist against blacks, right? I'm against healthcare for unregistered immigrants ... guess that makes me racist against Mexicans too, right? Being half-Mexican, I'm a unique kind of racist, eh?

Point being, should I refer to you as a religious zealot because you support the billions that seems so callously tossed aside every year? I've no reason to believe so, therefore I won't. Just because I don't approve of supplying the foreign government of a developed and strong country with excessive aid doesn't mean I hold any distaste for their people.

Shade me as you wish, but I've stated an opinion intelligently and gave valid reasons for that opinion. Your answer is "blah, blah, blah" and you brought up the oil companies I suppose because you could not understand the rest of my post. Brush up on your vocabulary and try again. I'll be here.

Isn't it amusing? Anyone who speaks rationally and has at least half a brain is subject to ridicule and labeled with one derogatory adjective or another. Even one of the smartest people in their own party isn't safe. I guess they'd rather see Sarah Palin looking across the Atlantic at the COUNTRY of Africa instead of across the Bering Strait at Russia.

A) The government taxes the people to provide for, support and protect those people ... so you're damned right I should have a say in how that money is spent. The ability (or lack thereof) to vote in a different representative, senator or president does not give anyone else the right to silence my outrage of how that money is misspent.

B) Israel is singled out in this thread, yes, but it is not the only concern I have, personally, about the rest of our tax dollars. As its been stated, Iraq has received so much aid because of the destruction the U.S. government has caused. In the long run, Iraq does not receive regular aid from us anywhere near the amount Israel gets by default (unless you count the years we were supporting Iraq to counter Iran--and of which, Israel actually received 3.2 billion in 2010, the 2 billion figure stated was so far THIS year).

I look differently at countries that need it. Afghanistan is a third-world country oppressed by the Taliban for decades. Pakistan was being payed to hunt terrorists and last I heard, that has been suspended.

My biggest beef with the U.S. government's spending is defense spending that has nothing to do with Israel ... like the dozens of YF-22 Raptors that have never seen combat. However, I still disagree with the expenditure on Israel. That doesn't make me a "Nazi" or "neo-Nazi", it makes me frugal. Israel is not a developing country and does not need the amount of "aid" we've been funding, especially if we're paying off Jordan and other countries NOT to attack them. I say one or the other.

And even "just" $2B can send 20 million kids (including Jewish-American citizens) to college, so take "Jew-hater" and blow.

Hmm ... here we have Exodus:



Does this mean he's JUST the God of those he brought out of Egypt?



Could this be interpreted as there are, indeed, other Gods, but He demands that just these people should only worship the one who saved them?

As I understand it, "Al Qaeda" translates roughly to "The List", which is exactly how it started. Those on "The List" were foreign personnel the CIA had relied on for many years for operations the U.S. could not participate in publicly or "black flag" operations that would implicate other organizations and cause, or perpetuate, conflicts throughout the Middle East whose outcomes would benefit the U.S.

Everyone's ventured off-topic, which is not about "hating jews" ... its about where our tax dollars are going and where it could be better spent.

And since it obviously wasn't clear (even though it should have been), nobody was complaining about Pakistan because Pakistan was not receiving $10B/year of our money.

Dinosaurs?

Evolution?

Where are these things in the Bible?

Why is there evidence contradicting a world-wide flood during the time of man?
