It gives us the reason why Jesus had to come in order to rescue us from our sin.
Now what does that mean? Our sin is the knowledge we gained from the tree that opened our eyes and made us ambitious - to seek and understand? Is that it? Then Jesus resurrected and ascended. I truly believe that he wanted others to follow, and he gave instructions to others, but in the last 2000 years no one has managed to do it. A lot of people tried and they all died. The desert of comparative religion is littered with the bodies of 'saints' and 'gnostics' of all beliefs and no-one has managed to take that next step. So what is the point? The modern Christian's mantra is "Open your heart to Jesus and he will come!" And then what happens? A diluted spiritual wakening, years studying the bible for snippets of interpretation. Apocryphal texts are verboten and the end result (if you really follow Christ's precepts) is only a feeling of accomplishment and altruism before the death rattle. And most Christians I've met are truly hypocrites who have no intention of following Christ's teachings. The rich Christians are the masters of others that are treated like slaves for the price of a few shekels. Christian morality and ethics to these snakes is never practiced.
So we get tossed from the Garden of Eden by the advice of an angel. Then we wait eons for our saviour who demonstrates love as a promised way back to God, which closes the circle. Then he proves it by ascending back to God and we destroy the opportunity to follow through our continued ignorance.
That's a real epic fail.
How must the Jews feel? As the chosen ones they are still waiting for their saviour or have they missed the boat by killing Jesus? Maybe if they sided with Jesus and kept some good records like they did with the old testament, we wouldn't be in this position.
600 years later, Mohammed spent years traveling with a Jewish merchant who spoke of 4 old testament books. Mohammed himself thought that Jesus was a prophet but not the son of God.
So the whole thing is so obfuscated that if anyone really did know what to do and how to do it, is now totally lost.
Agree totally. What's the point of/. if you can't discuss relevant poi's? Maybe/. should instigate a moderator license scheme as lately they've been hopeless.
Both Aardvark and Fungus are correct. Firefox is the only browser that supports Adblock and it is the sole reason why I don't make regular use of Chrome/Opera/Safari/IE8. The meccano-like ability of Firefox makes it absolutely and tautologically unique. Simply, there's nothing else.
What's that got to do with Bible ethics? A reference to stealing I suppose? I don't think that the 10 Commandments has been deprecated. A lot of people do follow them.

The trouble with iTunes as a front end is that it is designed to be half the ui of an ipod. A lot of non-ipod iTunes users, use it to sort, catalog and play their libraries and it does an excellent job at that. Try and export to a non-Apple media player and you get problems as it stuffs up the filenames.
The problem with iPods, is that you need iTunes to sync/delete/add stuff. So if Google or whomever would come up with an iTunes like front-end with decent performance and could make it equally good at consolidating media, you'll have a VLC like multimedia player that can sort, convert, catalog, backup, share, stream, import and export with installable codecs and plugins then count me in.
The problem here is that Microsoft includes addons in their mainstream software and expects users and admins to be fully up-to-speed with the implementation/roll-out, training with the expectation that it is a lock-step process without too much regard to why they put it there in the first place. It's a mind-set game IMHO where you have to closely follow MS thought processes, jargon and developmental time-line to make it work effectively, even though you don't necessarily want it. In other words you have to know what MS is thinking all the time and there is no easy way to do that without spending an inordinate amount of time on courses, reading, subscribing, trialing and the whole shebang. It's a 'top down' implementation. They think of it, program it, sell it or give it away and expect everyone to use it. I think what would be better would be more emphasis on what the user wants in a 'bottom up' approach. What's the point in trying to change office practice and procedure when it is either not necessary, too hard to implement and train for? Or is it another waste of certificate paper and gold stars? How much collaboration do you really need? A lot depends on management practices, when it is rare nowadays to find individuals who can complete a task without sharing or intervention as opposed to unnecessary and pointless team work which may be counter-productive.

It's like this: Learn to play all the campaigns on Age of Empires II of which there is a population limit of 75. Repeat for a number of years until you are perfect and the most efficient. Then go play a network AOEII game with a pop cap of 200 and you will invariably lose because you can't get your head around it. The game is simple, yet hard to manipulate when scaled up and takes a lot more effort to win. And that's only changing one variable.
Just in case someone forgot the reference, South Park had an episode where Mr Garrison's 'friend' had a gerbil shoved up his arse. Evidently he thought it quite pleasurable.....
The recommended dose is 2000 mg per day. Only a few months ago the highest recommended dose was 3000 mg, but as far as insulin takeup is concerned, the extra 1000mg proved only to have marginal gains. I don't know if the extra 1000 mg would be worthwhile taking as an anti-cancer prophylactic however.
I've had 2 cockatiels and a red rumped grass parrot (they prefer walking). I'm almost convinced that these parrots could 'see' fingernails as beaks. So the common human approach to a parrot is with 5 'beaks' coming at them. I tried using a single finger or a pinch (forefinger/thumb) with some success.
It's not a hypothesis: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/08/18/2659297.htm Cultures vary obviously. Also, the only known pig in Afghanistan (which is kept at the zoo for curiosity) was quarantined due to the swine flu scare. Semitic peoples do not eat pig.
Blue meat starts off as a piece of unbutchered meat that has been hung unrefrigerated in a meat safe (a cabinet with flyscreen for sides), for a minimum of 3 days. The length of time depends on the taste of the carnivore and the local laws. After 3 days, the meat turns dark blue. It is then butchered into steaks or roasted whole and cooked as desired, rare, medium or well done. My grand uncle ate quite a bit of it out of necessity in Bolivia during the 50's and 60's where he worked as an 'industrial chemist' and spent a lot of the time living on the edge of the jungle.

Sounds good. How about 2 mods agree that the post is a troll? Something like casting a pre-troll mod point, with another moderator confirming it?

That's probably because they model their ethics on the Bible.

It depends on which of the ethical schools you're subscribing to.
You forgot Moses. Can't place my hands on the source, but it has something to do with not stealing.
