No, the San Fermin festival, in Pamplona. Running of the bulls is where a bunch of people run down the city's streets to a certain area - running from bulls. Looks like such fun.

No. /thread You're so witty.

I'd be in a bad mood too, you just missed the running of the bulls. That'd be so much fun to be in.

Yeah, it happens to me every so often. Just gotta keep on truckin', I guess. I do hate how everything shifts when you take something out now, and how you can somehow get items that aren't even in the tab you're in.

You don't have very many emotes. Smooth skilling.

Yes, I figured as much. Considering the Old Testament was written before Jesus was born, it's not surprising it was culturally acceptable back then to sell a family member. I'd at least hope to get a good deal. :twss:

Yeah, I believe we won't become extinct so much as phased out of humanity, whether by technology or evolution into the universe. If anyone's read Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos series, you'll understand what I mean by evolution.

I can't find anything in the New Testament that says anything about selling your daughter. But then again, this is a New Age version. It'd be easier to find it if it existed in an older version, which I unfortunately lost. If anything were to be found over selling a family member into slavery, it's in the Old Testament. Of which, my copy was borrowed. So I can't look in it. Guys, easy. x1992x was talking about his first language not being English. As I'm sure you can notice, that causes a good number of...Issues. Stop turning this into a flame fest, all of you.

Theological debates aren't for anyone, really. Due to the nature of theology itself. EDIT: Argh, meant to post this earlier. Turns out you posted right before I did. :lol: It's been said that this isn't about the Bible, but I'll feed the fires. And you have been replied to. Many times. You just state the question again. And again. And again. And again. It isn't a rigid moral code. Nobody has said that. The Ten Commandments could be considered a rigid moral code. The New Testament is not. I don't understand what you're rambling on about in your first bolded part. What do you mean correct? It's a series of stories. And philosophy, if you construe it as that. Objective moral truths...What are you going on about? It's a guide to living your life better, if you construe it as such. Mayhaps its God's will to let people have free will? Oh, wait. It was. I probably lost my temper there a bit, but that's about the third or fourth time you've asked a question which, to me, makes no sense whatsoever. Is it even a question? To Chocobo's third: I don't think you understand enough about the New Testament. Its comprised of documents that were recorded into the past, mainly by disciples or people that were close to - Jesus Christ. Some parts of the Old Testament were likely passed down orally, and any of those that were carried into the New Testament obviously brought their changes and incorrections into it. However, the majority of the New Testament can be traced back to documents that had in word by word. Slight changes were made due to language differences and such, though.

It means you believe there's a possibility that there's a God out there, but you aren't sure. It's pretty much the in-between between theism and atheism.

Then you're an agnostic, I guess.

I'm not trying to make you believe in God. I'm stating that it's ridiculous you expect "proof" of His existence. What am I supposed to give you, a fossil of Him? Dark, believe what you want to believe. I'm not stopping you.

I wanted to Rick Roll you all, but all the embeds got taken away. So I got second-best, which I actually like to watch it. He sings funny. Chocolate Rain - Tay Zonday.

Yeah, it would be very difficult for us to be eradicated as a species. I think the only thing that could easily wipe us out is disease, or perhaps infertility.

It's true, and you know it Pow. We all get angsty and often turn tiny problems into bigger ones, and our parents haven't been teenagers fr so long they actually don't get it. Doesn't make our problems any less crap, though :lol:

The problem is that you are trying to bring faith to a logical argument. If I have faith there is no god, who's faith is the superior faith? You're free to suppose your own ideas with a lack of logical/rational basis about unexplained phenomena, but to hold them up to be as good or superior to scientific and rational arguments disingenuous and just wrong. It's just as much of a problem to bring logic to an argument about faith. Quite the Catch-22, eh? But I'm not one to challenge faith. I'm bringing it up, as the people who're "debating" with me (using that word loosely) don't seem to understand faith at all. You can't have a scientific argument against God. Nobody can provide evidence against it, according to the general consensus of what evidence is in this thread (which, in my point of view, is impossible. A fact is something indisputable, but anything is disputable). That video won't load for me, x1992x. All the same, I'm not debating with so-called "experts". I'm debating with you folks. From the description, I'm sure the video will be biased and, frankly, just an arrogant video full of crap. Having friends doesn't make you any less biased or arrogant. The Muslim faith and tradition is far different from Christianity. I've tried to read the Koran (hard to find an accurate translation, I hardly know any Arabic), and from what I can translate, it and the New Testament are the exact same yet far different, if you catch my drift.

That's disturbing, I was merely trying to bring a bit of humor in. And the fact that I have an extra toe.

All I'm trying to say is NoMoreDead's arrogance in the infallibility of science is stupid. Bad example, like monkeyboo said, but there's not a whole lot to do. I do like that you're respectful enough to my faith to capitalize God's name, monkey. Just a little note of thanks. x1992x, I don't mean to seem rude, but you're not doing too much for "your side". It could simply be the language barrier, though, and that it'sdifficult to understand what you mean. The only problem for this is that you guys want a logical, error-proof explanation of God, as if He's some sort of computer program or something you see in the sky. However, the entire concept of God is based on faith, which it seems you have no concept of. Logic and faith are two different camps in this case, and near completely unable to be combined.

Arthritis can be caused by too much use just as much as it can simply be caused by age. Maybe your mother's on cocaine. I think of that whenever I play with my extra toe.

That's true, but I personally believe God created a Big Bang sort of thing.

I also pick arguments with whoever I can, for funsies. I make it a lot more personal in real life than here on the forums, though.

There had to be a massive, massive, massive source of energy to create the Big Bang. Thus the universe. Scientists at CERN have actually based this as a fact, and it was exaggerated in the book Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. Who says that can't be God?

Not like there's anything to compare ourselves to.

The flaw in what you're saying is that you believe science to be so flawless.

If the others are very good, and you have great equipment, no, you won't be too much of a burden. Except for the prayer, that'll always be a downer for your god-war'ing.
