..that really gave me culture shock the last time I was in Paris.. Walking to the subway from the Eiffel Tower, I rounded a corner and came face to face with two police officers sporting M16s..
Of course, I also have an excellent picture of a Parisian police officer TPing his buddy's car when I came around the corner walking to the subway from Notre Dame, so it's not all culture shock..;)
..and neither does your rebuttal apply to the parent.
According to your argument I should not be allowed to bottle up tap water and take it with me in the car.
Nothing there about P2P water distribution. He's already paid for the water he ran from the tap into the glass. Why should be pay again to move the water from the glass to a bottle?
..there's an article in Popular Science this month (not on their website yet - at least that I could find) that details a study done on the effectiveness of tinfoil helmets. Surprisingly enough, a tinfoil helmet actually amplifies signals at 1.2 and 2.6 GHz (government satellites and GPS systems are found in that range).
I have had two of those calls, and the person on the other end wanted to confirm recent transactions. Both calls were legit, but it's hard to know given the limited info they give. So I called the bank's number on the back the second time, and found out that someone was trying to use my card number in Sweden.
Old number cancelled, new card issued, situation resolved.
But still, the banks should let you know the numbers of the fraud departments that will be calling beforehand. The number they wanted me to call back on was totally different than the other numbers I had.
Kroger has an even better policy - it rings up wrong, it's free. We were given formula for free because it rang up $5.00 over the sale price. Wonder whose bottom line that comes out of.
"Now remember from this time forth, and for ever, that Jesus Christ was not begotten by the Holy Ghost" (Journal of Discourses, vol. 1, p.51). - Brigham Young
"The birth of the Savior was a natural occurrence unattended with any degree of mysticism, and the Father God was the literal parent of Jesus in the flesh as well as in the spirit" (Religious Truths Defined, p.44). "Christ was begotten of God. He was not born without the aid of Man, and that Man was God!" (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, p.18). - Joseph Fielding Smith, Jr.
"These name-titles all signify that our Lord is the only Son of the Father in the flesh. Each of the words is to be understood literally. Only means only; Begotten means begotten; and Son means son. Christ was begotten by an Immortal Father in the same way that mortal men are begotten by mortal fathers" (Mormon Doctrine, 1966, pp.546-47). "And Christ was born into the world as the literal Son of this Holy Being; he was born in the same personal, real, and literal sense that any son is born to a mortal father. There is nothing figurative about his paternity; he was begotten, conceived and born in the normal and natural course of events,... Christ is the Son of Man, meaning that his Father (the Eternal God!) is a Holy Man" (p.742). - Apostle Bruce R. McConkie
The fleshly body of Jesus required a Mother as well as a Father. Therefore, the Father and Mother of Jesus, according to the flesh, must have been associated together in the capacity of Husband and Wife; hence the Virgin Mary must have been, for the time being, the lawful wife of God the Father: we use the term lawful Wife, because it would be blasphemous in the highest degree to say that He overshadowed her or begat the Saviour unlawfully. It would have been unlawful for any man to have interfered with Mary, who was already espoused to Joseph; for such a heinous crime would have subjected both the guilty parties to death, according to the law of Moses. But God having created all men and women, had the most perfect right to do with His own creation, according to His holy will and pleasure: He had a lawful right to overshadow the Virgin Mary in the capacity of a husband, and beget a Son, although she was espoused to another; for the law which He gave to govern men and women was not intended to govern Himself, or to prescribe rules for his own conduct. It was also lawful in Him, after having thus dealt with Mary, to give her to Joseph her espoused husband. Whether God the Father gave Mary to Joseph for time only, or for time and eternity, we are not informed. Inasmuch as God was the first husband to her, it may be that He only gave her to be the wife of Joseph while in this mortal state, and that He intended after the resurrection to again take her as one of his own wives to raise up immortal spirits in eternity (The Seer, p.158). - Apostle Orson Pratt
..and the contradictory ongoing revelation (mark of Cain, so forth and so on), the "as man is, God once was.. as God is, man will become" line, the physical insemination of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and many others.. These all form to totally seperate Mormonism from Christianity.
Name one singular person that was burned at the stake for holding heliocentrism. Oh yeah, that's right, the Church didn't burn any.
And for your information, the Venerable Bede translated parts of the Bible to proto-English around 700 AD. The Douay-Rheims English translation was done before the translation of the King James. What were condemned were heretical translations that were inaccurate. But the Church didn't do burning - the civil authorities did that.
As far as the sexual scandal goes - all the abusers need to be weeded out. But note that the prevalence of abuse amongst Catholic clergy is no greater than among Protestant clergy, and less than the general population. Ergo, it is a human problem.
So then, you have posited that the Catholic Church butchered, maligned, tortured and lied about supposed anabaptists in the age of the Fathers and beyond. Care to back your assertations up with proof? If you care to examine the lines of succession usually used in this reasoning (which I assume you also use) and compare them with supposed descendant churches (or even Christianity in general in many cases), you would be hard pressed to find much commonality.
Actually, Copernicus was encouraged by the Church. Galileo's fault was that he insisted on calling those people who didn't accept his theory (purported to be fact, even though he could not prove it) morons - including the Pope. During his trial, it was repeatedly stated that the charges would be dropped if he could provide proof for his theory - but he could not. The Church also offered a middle ground - accepting heliocentrism as a hypothesis - even superior to the geocentric one - until more proof was forthcoming.
Suppose you have a category of shortcuts that you want to be available on every user's desktop when the machine is set up (file shares, so forth and so on). On Windows, you can just copy the.lnk files from one machine and put them in the c:\documents and settings\all users\desktop folder on the new machine to make them available without having to recreate them.
Actually, I can, but would rather do it on a forum pertaining to the topic at hand. Slashdot is not that forum.
To wit,
All of Jesus' followers were disciples prior to this appearance. An apostle is "One sent" (ref apostellein, to send off), and this is the sending. To argue that this was applicable to everyone is to add all of the disciples into the role of apostle, which Christian history shows not to be the case. (ref Matt 28:16-20, Luke 24:33, Mark 16:14). Obviously these 12 have a special role of distinction.
Again, if you would like to discuss this further please join me at the aforementioned board.
1) Apostolic succession. You see this in the replacement of the position of Judas. Bishops are the successors to the apostles, and all can trace back.
2) The power to forgive was granted to the apostles, and likewise their successors (re: John 20). If this were not the case regarding their successors, then could not St. Matthew and St. Paul forgive, but the other 11 could?
It all boils down to this. It is only through Christ and His Sacrifice that sins may be forgiven. He granted the apostles and their successors this gift. So in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, it is Christ who forgives the sin - but he does so through the ministry of the priest.
This is a very basic and rudimentary overview. If you want more meat, go here and here.
..and this is thoroughly off-topic by this point, but hey..
St. John 20:
19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you." 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 (Jesus) said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the holy Spirit. 23 Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained."

In a move of utter brilliance, I forgot to unplug the network cable when doing a Win2K reinstall one time (and the network cable was hooked to DSL).
;)
Before it was done installing I'd been rooted and someone had already started making ISO'd warez available.
Needless to say, I don't forget that part anymore (hey, it was 3 AM or something).
You can see it here.
Basically looks like a bunch of nothing (even moreso) when you read the response.
...you could always rip to MP3 in WMP/9.. You just had to buy the codec and install it (I think it was $15 or so)..
Do you still have to buy the codec with WMP10, or is it included now?

That'd be interesting to see, considering they didn't exist. They didn't come on the scene until 1521.
