  1. Maybe one of these millenia, people will realize "religious people", as a group, aren't really any better than the rest of us.

    Some may be better, some worse, but all in all, human. Supposedly they have higher ideals, but they don't seem to be borne out in practice.

  2. From Abi

    If you are using Nortons or WANT to use Nortons DO NOT USE ZONE ALARM! Zone Alarm changes your regsitry keys in such a way that you cannot run Nortons - I just went through all kinds of hell over this.

    It is my experience with Zone Alarm that taught me to do my research FIRST, find a good program and stick with it.

    Personally, we are using Nortons Internet Security 2005. It has the anti-virus, firewall, parental controls - almost everything. It was hell getting it installed and up and running but I am very very happy with it now.

    Another thing J - Even IF you get rid of all the spyware, if you continue going to the websites where you got it in the first place, your just going to keep getting it over and over again. Also Spybot is not always successful at finding everything or cleaning everything.

    I have Spybot, Ad Aware and the Yahoo Toolbar with the spyware program. Since running them, with Norton's we have not had a single serious problem - just a few tracking cookies from time to time which have been easily removed.

  3. Picture this.

    Jesus is addressing the crowd. He says, "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone."

    Suddenly, a huge boulder comes flying over the hill, striking the woman and killing her on impact.

    Jesus, visibly annoyed, says "Ya know Ma, sometimes you really p*ss me off."

  4. quote:
    I just read of a woman who killed her husband many years ago by slowly poisoning him. Recently her boyfriend died of the same symptoms. When coroner determined cause, they reopened her husbands death records. She has now been convicted of the boyfriend's murder.


    And how did your third husband die, Maam?

    He wouldn't eat the mushrooms........

    On top of that, I do not believe there is a single reference in the NT of people giving money to leadership or a church (church being defined as place of worship) for them to keep as salary or to use to "spread the word". Paul worked. He said he did so, because he did not want to take money from the people, even though he may have had a right to.

    In every reference to collecting money in the NT, the money was being given to the poor. The specific situation which comes to mind immediately was the instance where there was a famine in Jerusalem.

    "ya know how a new dr. will say "take all the medicine even if you feel better"!

    pfffgh . not me nor my kids"

    Are you saying you do not finish prescriptions for antibiotics? This can be very dangerous not only for the one taking the antibiotic but for everyone in the community. Bacteria mutate and can become immune to antibiotics. This is one of the huge contributing factors to why we now have really nasty staph bacteria which kills people and cannot be fought with antibiotics.

    "That place you are, when you are still, and that is "you" - that is where the separation is."

    Satori,

    If there is to be no duality and only oneness, then even "you" cannot separate yourself from God.
