The frightening thing is that it makes a lot of sense to me. Does anyone know how to build an igloo?"
haha
xth post biotches!! Owned!
First the liberals tell us we need to stop living our lives because the world is going to get too hot and we'll all melt. Now they say we're going to freeze instead?? Come on people, the bullshit meter is off the scale here.
..a beowulf cluster of this!
I AM CANADIAN!

How about you not use "frell". It isn't even an accepted slang word, it only appears in place of "fuck" on a certain Sci-Fi show, and it just shows how much of a loser you are.
As a Canadian citezen, I had to take igloo making in school from grades 1 - 8. It is a manditory skill. In addition to the traditional 'cut-ice' igloo, I know how to make a snow-pile shelter, a bluff-snow shelter, and an embankment wind shelter. All part of living in the great white north, with strong beer and no running water :)
..Well, it's a lot better than being USian!

-40C? Is that as cold as -40F?
The term is so generic that Muslims, Jews, and Christians all fall under the heading of "theist".
Those aren't disparate religions. They all proclaim to follow the same deity, who revealed Himself to Abraham, albiet with different ways.
A better scattering would be "Christians, Hindus, Cherokee Shamans, and Wiccans." (Who can then be broken down into "Monotheists" and "polytheists" and "pantheists"--"one god", "many gods," and "all is god", IIRC.)
hey believe that there is a God who is
relevant to what goes on in the world; deists believe there was a God
who created stuff in the beginning, but that he's no longer active;
they don't see a connection between any deity and morality, and any
morality they have is based on human society.)
Those sound more like divisions within the same religion over what God does, not if He exists.
I think the question never was "Is Jesus Christ the son of God, who will judge the dead etc etc?" But rather "what does God do in day-to-day life?"
Sort of like arguing over whether or not the President is a liar / a philanderer / an idiot. You don't argue who he IS, just what kind of a person he is.
Then again, Franklin (if alive today) very well might become an atheist--or he might be devoutly religious. Never met the man.
"God" means three things.
;) )
Either it's the Allmighty Supreme Being, or its a non-infinite creature of far-beyond-human power, or it's "a thing deserving of worship."
God, used as a name and always capitalized, always means the first thing. The grammatical usage of the second two meanings are identical.
'course, there's a heck of a lot of argument as to what God / the gods are like (/what is and is not a god), so it's not good to use in an argument with people who might disagree with you.
(So you're right, just not for the reason you said.
