Except that the "didn't" is not the predicate of its sentence, as it occurs in a clause. The real problem is that the GP wrote the clause as though it were a sentence.
The gospels may claim he died for everyone, but I'd prefer real evidence.
And I'm not claiming that the world is centered on me, quite the contrary, I don't expect people to do stuff for me. Was his death a gift to me? No more than this post is a gift to you.
And if I don't factor into the "for us", then who does?
No. Theology is pretty much useless unless there is a God. One's belief in such will not make theology useful.
As for the alleged sacrifice by Jesus, how do I benefit from it? I do benefit from Euclid's systematization of geometry, but I don't have followers of Euclid tell me that Euclid did it for me.
I'll do at that at a local Staples. I'll even ask people if they need help, saying that I don't work there, but I pretty much know where everything is (I walk around there a lot).
And how many people use Windows XP/Vista in this manner? Are businesses supposed to forgo this feature because you don't like it? What about families with children? How many users aren't connected to the internet? Microsoft has always tried to have broad appeal, do you represent a sufficient market to make it worth Microsoft's effort to satisfy you in this regard?
real Mac user: someone true to who they are, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo. The ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world.

Nah, GNU emacs will be feature complete when it has a mode for editing levels of Duke Nukem Forever.
Ugly? I must disagree. GNU Emacs on Gnome (the Gnome from SUSE 9.2) has a beautiful dark blue background with light fonts.
Also, do Source Insight or Visual Slickedit have TeX/LaTeX syntax support?
Wasn't it Tanenbaum who criticized Linus for tying Linux too close to the x86 architecture?
He said LaTeX, not TeX. LaTeX is somewhat better than TeX in that regard.
Missing the "u" bit? Do you mean "favor" versus "favour"?

Ordinary citizens trying to uphold the Constitution? Michael Newdow tried that, and the Supreme Court ruled that he had no standing.
I'll see your karma hit, and raise.
theology deals with things/ideas that are bigger than us as individuals.
Assuming that theology deals with anything at all.
Of course, you could not have asked a man born 2000 years ago to do anything. What's your point?
Then why did the GP include "for us" in his post?
As for slamming religion for its morals, I would first like to know whether religion is true.
Jesus came to fulfil the old testament for us
I don't recall asking Jesus (or anyone else) to fulfill the Old Testament.
And the GP wouldn't critize you for overpopulation? :-)
And how is gasoline being subsidized?
But if you were really proactive, wouldn't you use an operating system that didn't require all of that in the first place?
How many Mac users built their own Mac?
Can one even buy Mac parts separately at a price that would justify this?
I guess your part of the world doesn't have civil forfeiture.
A proactive security policy? What operating system(s) do you use?
Having all users run as Administrator is not a way to have computers just work.
One can use the -n option in mount (does not record mount in /etc/mtab), but I don't know how to avoid writing to /etc/passwd.
Well, if Mac users aren't fond of rules, wouldn't that include the rules of aesthetics?

How about having /tmp and /var as separate partitions, and mounting / as read only?

So Stallman is a Mac user?
Oops, my bad, I meant geostationary, the orbits of communication satellites.
