Do you have any simple pleasures, or just random things that make you happy.

I have many. Here are a few I can think of offhand...

fire (in any form)
firefighters (the profession itself)
the smell of fresh cut wood
old blackboards (not green, but black)
anything old or "classic"
old buildings
abandoned buildings/condemned buildings (not sure why but they attract me)
the sound of a rooster in the morning
other animals
the sun
people and real life
driving with a sunroof open
air and the feeling after a good workout

I know some of those may sound weird, but what can I say? I like them. I'm sure there are many more. What about you? What are yours?

Horus was the sun god of Egypt. He was born on December 25 to a virgin mother, at the age of 12 he was a prodogy and a teacher, at 30 he was baptised and began his minostry, He had 12 disiples who followed him. Horus died and was resurected.
This story is almost identical to that of Jesus and many other gods. almost everything in the bible is taken from older texts and there is no proof that Jesus or anyone he knew ever existed
So why do so many people belive in the basless religion.

I've come to a realization in my life; What I think is right doesn't ultimately matter. In my quest to try and get Theist's to see my point of view I became antagonistic, willing to pounce on people and cut their ideas and beliefs to shreds, and take joy in doing so. Somewhere along the way I lost sight of my own moral compass, and I went astray. I used to tell myself that I could never have religion because I couldn't bring myself to condemn anothers beliefs, yet I found myself doing precisely that. I am now waking up to idea that my condemnation (and others, be they atheist or theist) only helps to harden hearts, not to open them. Ultimately, No one truly knows what happens when we die, only time will tell. I hope humanity isn't permanently lost to its own petty insecurities, that we all wake up one morning and look at our neighbors, so foreign yet so familiar, and just see their humanity and not their beliefs, color, status, etc. Until that bright day when we learn to let go....

What is up with that? They park right there in the fire zone, even if legitimate parking spaces are only 20 yards away. They act like, "hey, I'm only gonna be in for a few minutes", as if everyone else will be there overnight. I don't know about you but I despise the ignorant, lazy, inconsiderate bastards. Oh, and you better believe that if someone or something hits their illegally parked vehicle, they will scream bloody murder. I just hate it!!!!!!! Your thoughts?

When I was a child, I used to believe that condoms were tic-tac shaped things that you insert into your d*ck like a cork.

There are Churches everywhere, there are Christian book stores that sell Bibles everywhere for a fraction of the cost.
There is No reason for people to be so God ignorant when all you have to do is attend a church that preaches the gospel of Christ or buy yourself a King James Bible and read it. You will soon learn who God is if you wish to educate yourself on Him. There is a God, there is a devil. There is a Heaven, there is a hell, and you Will spend eternity in one or the other like it or not, believe it or not makes no difference. You Will one day stand before the Great White Throne of God and give an account of your life. There will be No time to kneel and pray asking for salvation and forgiveness, there will be No excuses that will stand. Be ever ready for that day, and know where you will spend eternity. Accept that Christ is Lord, died for your sins, rose again and is coming back to take His saints to be with Him in Paradise For ever and ever (eternity).

Duh! ut's something logical, they have the same creator... and we have the same creator so we are all borthers and sisters. ah, and yeah I'm a Mormon and I do not accept bashing!

Satan is Jesus' brother, but that doesn't mean that other than that fact they have thing in common and stuff. Jesus and Satan are very very very different, it's just that they have the same creator.. yup! the same one who created us, God.

When I hit a towering shot with my pitching wedge, 130 yards straight to the hole, and my gleaming white ball is juxtaposed against the gray and cloudy sky, does God find it as heart-wrenchingly beautiful as I do?

I'm being kinda serious, actually. Sometimes people just stare at me, especially when I talk. Sometimes almost the entire room shuts up when I talk.

Why is their skin color so dark? Are they closer in relation to monkeys than whites are? Are they less evolved?

I do not believe in the Evolutionary Theory, I believe in Creation. I just want to know what you Evolutionists believe. I am not a racist and I believe diversity is a gift from God.

I am looking for contacts in R&S, as I want to start networking here. I would describe myself as Christian/Buddhist/Wiccan. It doesn't matter what you consider yourself, as long as you are not rude. Thanks for considering.

God thinks so......Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)

For the record I'm not christian because of things like this in the bible!!

And I don't believe in a god that needs blood to make it all okay...the blood of christ.....nor do I believe a perfect god could or would burn people forever....thats just sick...

You hear things like how could you not believe in miracles if you saw one before your eyes but then if you've never seen a miracle, it doesn't matter. You still have to believe in miracles.

And I don't see how the person who CAN'T give up his faith and become a Christian is in a different position from the person who CAN'T give up his faith and not be a Christian anuymore.
