It seems to me, as a Christian, that a large number of people have not actually spent time reading the Bible and listening to what it says. Instead they have preachers who read the Bible and tell them what they think.
The problem is that the Bible is not the flawless word of God. It is a book that was inspired by God to serve as a starting point for people to believe.
People who claim that the Bible is flawless and irrefutable really just discount its actual worth, and the message it contains. If you claim the Bible to be completely holy, you put it in the place of God, and that smacks of idolatry to me.
Yakko: Everybody lives on a street in a city Or a village or a town for what it's worth. And they're all inside a country which is part of a continent That sits upon a planet known as Earth. And the Earth is a ball full of oceans and some mountains Which is out there spinning silently in space. And living on that Earth are the plants and the animals And also the entire human race.
It's a great big universe And we're all really puny We're just tiny little specks About the size of Mickey Rooney. It's big and black and inky And we are small and dinky It's a big universe and we're not.
And we're part of a vast interplanetary system Stretching seven hundred billion miles long. With nine planets and a sun; we think the Earth's the only one That has life on it, although we could be wrong. Across the interstellar voids are a billion asteroids Including meteors and Halley's Comet too. And there's over fifty moons floating out there like balloons In a panoramic trillion-mile view.
And still it's all a speck amid a hundred billion stars In a galaxy we call the Milky Way. It's sixty thousand trillion miles from one end to the other And still that's just a fraction of the way. 'Cause there's a hundred billion galaxies that stretch across the sky Filled with constellations, planets, moons and stars. And still the universe extends to a place that never ends Which is maybe just inside a little jar!
YW+D : It's a great big universe And we're all really puny We're just tiny little specks About the size of Mickey Rooney. * Though we don't know how it got here * We're an important part here * It's a big universe and it's ours!
* - In the original script, these lines were:
YW+D : You might think that you're essential Try inconsequential It's a small world after all!
And I, for one, welcome our oil producing algea overlords, and would like to remind them that as a slashdot poster I am highly capable of producing large steaming mounds of bullshit for their sustanance.
Hmm... but then again I question what the actual environmental gain would be on this. Any pollutants eaten up to make the biodiesel would have to be chemically removed from the stream (probably prohibitively expensive) otherwise they'll just come out of the tailpipe of the bus or whatever the diesel is powering. Might be more efficient to just use the fossil fuels to power the bus and use solar energy to power the electric grid. Otherwise you would be able to use the diesel created through this to run the powerplant, and that just sounds like a violation of some of the laws of thermodynamics to me.
Not really. This is an open system that gets energy from the sun so it is possible. Its just that inefficiencies in the system would make it non-viable.
I can tell you plainly that diamonds come from coal because I work at an iron pipe plant that uses coal to fuel its furnace. You can grab a large handful of it off the ground and if you look closely you can find 2 or 3 diamonds in the rough.
These aren't worth much because they are small, for the most part impure, and because diamonds are only valuable on the first sale by the jewelery stores.
I say we should elect two presidents and have them fight each other for our amusement. Only when one of them is rendered unconcious could the other one make rulings.
Slashdot Mirror
Humans are very good at just sneaking up on things and making friends with them, and then later exploiting them shamelessly.
Month 1:Human walks up to group of horses and tosses them apples something that they have difficulty getting normally.
Month 2:Horses are used to humans and actually approach them for apples.
Month 3:???
Month 4:Profit!

Yeah those damn bigots, being all bigotted and all. I really hate those jerks.
What? Those places are supposed to be countries?
I always thought that they were game reserves set up to amuse us with their antics, like monkeys in a zoo.
Luckilly we in America have already replaced our democracy with a constitutional republic.

In Europe the government owns corporations in America the corporations own the government.

You can't eat the keyboard crunchies in an emergency...
Yes. Don't buy your tinfoil from Nationals. It actually enhances the reception for the government mind control satilites.

Especially considering the fact that the N stands for national.
Perhaps he was refering to the old meaning of being jovial.
I should have expected this to get modded funny, but it is a valid question.
Why wouldn't the bullies use their cards to buy the approved foods and then make others buy them the food they would want to eat?
Or you beat up the class nerd and steal his card to buy your junk food.
Nah get her a potato they last forever.
They would just tap on the glass and knock it to pieces. You can break an improperly set diamond with a tap in the right (or wrong) place.
Search google for "perfect cleavage"...
Err rather search google for "perfect cleavage +diamond".
