Here I was hoping that wired news wasn't going to capitalize "Internet" in the title either, just to spite us.

Alan Turing Is Burning In Hell

[Enlarge Your Penis]

Have you ever done any of the following?

1) Not loved the LORD your GOD with all your heart, mind, and soul?

2) Held anything as a higher priority than GOD Himself (e.g. money, sex, status, drugs, etc)?

3) Used GOD's name in vain, or as a curse-word? 4) Failed to keep the Sabbath Holy (worked, partied, etc instead of worshipping GOD on His day)?

5) Dishonored or disrespected your mother or father in any way?

6) Lied to anyone (even a little white lie)?

7) Stolen anything from anyone (even a piece of candy as a child)?

8) Murdered anyone?

9) Committed adultery (sex with or lust after one to whom you weren't married)?

10) Envied someone else (i.e. resentment stemming from a desire to have someone else's possessions)

If you answered YES to *ANY* of the above and have *not* asked JESUS CHRIST the be LORD of your life, the Holy Bible says that you will stand before GOD on judgment day and YOU WILL BE SENTENCED TO HELL AS PUNISHMENT.

Although we ALL fall short of GOD's Glory on our own, the Good News is that we can choose to have our sins forgiven and escape the punishment of hell.

Salvation and deliverance are free gifts from GOD, but it is up to each one of us to claim them for ourselves. The LORD will forgive and deliver anyone from our sinful life-choices if we ask Him with a sincere heart in the name of JESUS CHRIST. The Bible says that all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved...and here are few Bible-based directives and suggestions for living a new life in Jesus Christ.

1. Know in your heart that there is only one true GOD and that He is the Father of our LORD and Savior JESUS CHRIST

2. Accept that JESUS CHRIST sacrificially shed His very own blood on the cross as substitute punishment for your sins, and that His resurrection on the third day symbolizes every born-again believer's new life in JESUS. His ascension represents the believing Christian's ultimate ascension into heaven to spend eternity in the presence of our loving GOD.

3. Repent of your sins and turn away from your sinful life-choices. Say a sincere prayer to GOD admitting that you are a sinner, conceding to Him that you are truly sorry for your sins, and that you are trusting in JESUS CHRIST for redemption and in the HOLY SPIRIT to help you live a righteous life from now on. Note: Repent means make a "u-turn" from systematic sin.

4. Make JESUS CHRIST the LORD of your life, putting your trust in Him for everything including that He will set you free from sin, deliver you from addictions & demon possessions, and heal you of any diseases you may have (AIDS, syphilis, cancer, depression, or anything else). See here.

5. Read the Holy Bible every day for wisdom, guidance, strength, and encouragement. If you need to purchase one, go to your local bookstore

6. Find a local Christian church that you can attend regularly. Make friends and socialize regularly with other Christians. See Church Finder

7. Make a public proclamation of your faith by telling friends & family, get baptized ASAP, and expect to be filled with the HOLY SPIRIT

8. Depend on the LORD your GOD, through JESUS CHRIST, for everything the rest of your life and He will provide for all your needs. But best of all, when this life is over, He will welcome you into heaven with open arms to spend eternity with Him

The choice is yours.

You see, these are sins from the 10 commandments. Cool, these can be forgiven. I have commited all of them. I regret really few.
There are also the General Sins. 7 or so. I also commited all of them. I regret none. But these can be forgiven as well.
But there are also so called Deadly Sins. Actually, I didn't kill my brother because I don't have any. I didn't fuck my mother, I don't find her attractive. But besides that, I have all the other points on the list checked. And now to the tricky part, the puppies can't be forbidden, no matter how much you regret and redeem. If you commited any of them, you're condemned forever. These include assaulting your parents, sex with animals, blasphemy and such.

So, why should I bother? I even don't regret them! Why should I ever care for all that church, bible stuff, why should I care about the 10 commandments or 7 general sins? That won't change a thing. Since I'm already as screwed as I can only be, I say go fuck yourself and stick your threats of hell and bribes of heaven up your ass, finally I'm really FREE!

Since /. is getting all its news from Wired these days why not a direct link to Wired at the top of the /. page?

"This demonstration is a major advance in closing a gap" in how materials can be used to control light in optical devices, according to Mark Kuzyk, a physics professor at Washington State University. Kuzyk said materials studied previously could control only 3 percent to 5 percent of light.

Go Cougs!

WOOT!!!
