People try to politick?  Check.  Hence there exist people like myself who take a "search and destroy" attitude to that sort of thing inside the Church ;) (presumably including in the Catholic church, although there's a lot of inertia to overcome in there).  Just because things inevitably crop up doesn't mean we can't beat them down! I do like administering beatings >_>

You keep mentioning about "the" message Jesus brought, but there are actually two (at least).  One being "Okay guys, I've taken mortal form for a bit, and I'm going to die for you so you can get a bye-ball on screwing up"{*1}, and the other being the one you reference, that "And while I'm here, let's clear up a few misunderstandings about how to carry on; because srsly guys, what in the name of Me".  I don't know that it's a case of "looking past" one to the other, they're both pretty highly important, but it's interesting to note that He commented on a facet of the subject:

Quote from: Matt 22:37-40
Jesus said unto him, "'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.'  This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like unto it, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.'  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

The specified ranking of those two commandments probably conflicts with a humanist view of the world (in fact, it more-or-less definitely does), but Christianity is all about God first, and only incidentally about us :).


Anyway, I only came online to check my email, I'm supposed to be doing other stuff.  I need to spend less time dashing about, is my considered opinion. :o  Once again I beg forgiveness for any bad writing. :)

AFAIA I'm the only Christian on this forum, so I guess I should post (even if we have got wacky production issues going on in work, I'm sure they can wait a few seconds ;-o).

xXRiha-ChanXx: is a goof, I agree :).  The name was a bit of a giveaway, really (I'm sure there are mature people who use names styled like that, but I've never seen them).

Organization: is a good thing; you keep raising issues you have with individuals roguishly interpreting things in questionable ways, but a sane hierarchy is the perfect tool for neutering such people.  (Unless one or more of them manage to get at the top of hierarchy, but there are ways of dealing with that too.  Look up about the Reformation, which is also something I meant to bring up regarding your point that you know all about the Church on account of your experience of Catholicism; you may have missed a few things here and there ;))

Jesus: is God ← is a... fairly central tenet of Christianity, so saying that you don't believe that but you do think that he "had some good ideas" is probably slightly more contentious than perhaps you realised.  ;-P (I actually don't know anyone who has a problem with your latter statement, except maybe some of the wackier cults).

Your opinion: disagrees with mine in a lot of places, but you're still entitled to hold it (even though, as we all know, disagreeing with me on any subject is equivalent to failure).  Maybe some people need to recall that salvation is a personal accomplishment; ie, it's impossible for one person to "convert" another.  The best you can do is try to convince them to do it themselves, and even then the Bible specifically mentions that it's OK to let someone be if they're really not up for it.

We should merge this with the UT99 Server Thread again and see what kinds of radiation are produced from the resulting annihilation!

TF2 was announced a long-ass time ago, if you want to be technical.  Development started with Quake 2 sometime around 1997-1998, then it moved to GoldSrc (HL1 engine -- derived from the Quake engine) when the developers were contracted to make it by Valve, then it became a standalone product, it got uberhyped in magazines, E3, etc, then nobody heard anything about it for a long time, then it was announced that it was going to come out after HL2, then it never happened, then they said it was going to come out with Episode 2 and Portal.

So, Duke Nukem Forever all over again, then?

This means you must make a party out of them, spelling PENIS!

I think I grew out of that sort of thing back when I was, uh, a teenager. >:(

Oh! I forgot to say that I caught all the letter-shaped Unown; just the punctuation ones left to get, but I can't do that until later in the game, apparently.  Still, go me!

Okay, so we're a marksman.  What happens next?

Anyone close enough to my house to be within wifi range is (a) also within visual range, and (b) probably also within "beating stick" range.  ;)

I can't use WFC because the DS doesn't support WPA for some idiotic reason.  Meh.

Oh well.

I dealt with that by saying "Well, I don't live near enough to anyone to worry about it... *click*" and just used WEP. :)

I got my DS and router on speaking terms. :)

Pal Code is available, but I kinda don't want to post it publicly... let us employ private messages, fellows!

I will also get my pokemans up on my website and post a link sometime.  Also also, my Ponyta called "Disco Pony" needs a rename, any suggestions?  There may be a prize for the best name!

People are sill gonna pirate things no matter what, so is "the man" trying to do all in their power to stop it?

Well, to take this to an extreme, people are still gonna murder each other no matter what, so why is "the man" trying to do all in their power to stop it?



That's right, I just compared piracy to murder.

Explosives sounds good.  Any problem that can't be solved by blowing it up isn't a real problem.

I was just curious if I had any brothers.

Have you asked the milkman?
