Ah... So those who watch "sunsets" and "sunrises" are geocentric believers? These phrases indicates a movement of the sun.
Perhaps the fellow who wrote Joshua did not know that the Earth circled the sun. Heck, perhaps he even believed that the sun orbited the Earth. This would make sense for a person living at that time. However, what I don't see is a passage where it says "And God said, 'The Sun Circles the Earth'".
What Atheists don't understand is that the Bible was written by man inspired by God. What that means is that man in all his limitations wrote the many books of the Bible. Not 100% of the Bible is instruction. Some of it is a description of what is going on. For example, David is sitting on his roof and peeps at a woman bathing. He then sets up her husband to be killed and then marries her himself, DESPITE the fact that he already has a wife. Now using your logic, we could say that the Bible promotes polygamy and murder. BUT! It doesn't. It is just describing the true events of what happened.
So when someone writes that the sun stood still, nowhere does that imply that God wants humans to believe in a Geocentric solar system. It implies that from the perspective of an ancient man, the sun did not change position relative of the man. Whether he believed that the sun moved around the Earth is irrelevant, he accurately wrote down what he observed.
Objection! Okay, perhaps I've been playing too much Ace Attorney games lately, but when someone makes such a bold claim, the only thing that counts is evidence. So where in the bible does it say that the solar system is a geocentric one?
I actually use my 360 as my frontend. And, no I didn't hack my system. I don't have time to find the exact link, but I believe I've written how to do it on my sblog http://jtexp.blogspot.com/
Even better, I'm going to register.corn Imagine going to google.corn! In some fonts it looks like google.com. Even better www.somebank.corn!!! Yeah! I'll be rich!
I do as well. I just hope that it is genetically similar to what we find on earth. I'd then like to hear how that complex life evolved into something very similar to our complex life on a completely different planet. (Waits for burial from intolerant atheists)
Okay, time for someone who actually lives in the county to clear up the math. $90 million was for all of the wind towers in the county (27 I believe), not for the four towers dedicated to Rock Port, MO.
You also have to keep in mind that companies such as John Deere helped make this possible.
I guess that's the thing. Murders actually happen in your city.
From 2002 to 2006, my town had (That's all the data I could find): 0 Murders 0 Rapes 0 Robberies 0 Arson
Like I said, we leave the keys in our ignitions with the doors unlocked... And I have a great job in technology. A great job that takes me to fun places to visit (such as Chicago, New York, etc...) while having the advantage of not having to live there.
The low crime is caused by several factors. 1) It's PC in our town to own a gun. 2) It's PC in our town to go to church. 3) It's PC in our town to yell at other people's children. 4) It's PC in our town to punish our children.
I've seen the error of my ways. Instead of living in a quiet low crime community where the front page is about some guy's pig winning the county fair, I need to live in a crowded city full of inpatient rude people where I would risk my life everyday just to make it to work. Wha? Let's breakdown country living vs. city living, shall we?
Country living * Few cars therefore... * Children play in the street unsupervised because... * There's no fear of crime. Besides... * If a kid gets out of line, I can chew on them because... * People here aren't liberal "I'll sue anyone who looks at my kid wrong" pansies. * I don't have to worry about gangstas or drive bys or police, by the way * We only have one cop in town. We don't need 'em. Heck... * People here leave their cars and homes unlocked and even leave the keys in the ignition!!!
City living * Takes just as long to get anywhere as living in the country because... * Even if the distance is shorter, you have to sit and wait in traffic just so that you can... * Go to super packed crowded places! (yay, I can't wait to be pushed around by idiots) * Everybody's a liberal * Cars, cars, and more cars. * Gangsta wannabes * Crime, filth * Crappy housing
So you can take your urban comforts (what an oxymoron!) and keep them. I'll sit and watch my HD widescreen TV with my bass on (No neighbors to share a wall with) while playing my XBox 360 or my Wii (which I bought with the money that I didn't have to throw away in rent). Then I might talk to my wife about our plans of building a home theater in my spare RV garage.
As for the gun toting rednecks. Give me them over gun toting children any day. At least they're out to shoot critters (and the occasional liberal) and not people.
I beg to differ. I work in a small town of 1300. I have a house that borders the local school in a safe neighborhood and I paid $72,000. By the way, this is a nice house: 2 car garage, 1 car extenal garage, shed, RV garage (my future homemade movie theater), 2 bed (in a few years, 3), 1 1/2 bath, FINISHED BASEMENT. Where you city folk live, this house would sell for $300,000.
Did I also mention that I'm the SENIOR PROGRAMMER for the company I work for? Let's review. Affordable home, good job, small town. Looks like I have it all. Don't anyone think that their arn't good tech jobs where affordable housing is.
Perhaps I'm just use to it. But I do like having my grammar somewhat checked. It isn't perfect, but it's helpful. I'm open to an alternative. I guess my point really is not what word processor is better, but what is the best tool for the job. Most of the time it is an open source product, but on some rare occasions, it is a closed source product.
I use to have the same beliefs as Stallman as well (except that I'm a Christian and shampoo my hair). But then I realized that sometimes its easier to be pragmatic. After all, why should I only use Open Office when Microsoft Office is a clearly better product?
I take it that you've never listened to contemporary Christain music? They've got some pretty good stuff out there. And for a generation of people who say "I like the music; however, I don't listen to the lyrics", then they shouldn't have a problem if someone praises God rather than sing about pimps, hoes, and smoking weed. After all, we don't listen to the lyrics, do we?
Anyway, for those who are not Diephobic, try out groups like Disciple, Project 38, or Reliant K.
I actually switched camps when the Dreamcast went belly up. I followed Sonic to the Gamecube and found a new home. MS doesn't have any good E rated game (except maybe Viva Piñata, but even that's coming to the DS). Sony is trying to be Microsoft. With all of the reasons I bought my non-Nintendo systems coming to the Wii/DS, why should I buy anything else? Plus I can play all of my Genesis games thanks to the Wii having blast processing. (or at least emulating the hy-- feature).
I know this is unlikly, but if they added a couple of *censored* into the wiimote, that can certianly provide resistance. Wait... I better patent that!
It just wouldn't work right to see an overweight aged "young Kirk". The only two solutions is to either not have Kirk or to have someone else play him.
Then again, there are those of us who don't like the busy crowded city life. I've always wanted to live in a small rural town in the middle of nowhere. The crime is low, the people are kind, and I get to own a big house.
I was pleasently surprised when I landed the job I've got now. I've got the best of all worlds. I don't mind travelling an hour to get to Wal-Mart on the weekend. It beats having to live in the city. Here, our doors are unlocked and most people leave their keys in the ignition of their unlocked cars. Kids run unsupervised throughout the city. It's a whole different world.
Except that they refuse to support Firefox. (At least while I was in school). They only supported IE and Safari. A lot of my peers begged for Firefox support, but the best they could do is send a link to an outdated site to "prove" that nobody uses Firefox.
No offense intended, but you've must not have used any good DVD players. Out of all my devices that can play DVD- I have at home, my PS2 is the worse. My MythTV Box is the best. XBox comes in at a faraway second place.

Yeah, if only Christian games were half as good as contemporary Christian music (P.O.D, Lifehouse, etc...)

I say "Bring it on!" If all advertisers did this, then it will be easier for my DVR to detect comercials so I don't have to see them at all!
I know this is unlikly, but if they added a couple of *censored* into the wiimote, that can certianly provide resistance. Wait... I better patent that!
Except I married a human female nerd. Maybe nerds should just look for cute nerds.
Then the believers all strapped bombs to themselves and blew up the heathens of Mekka for their disbelief.
