The Strong Bond Of Morals And Faith

2013-02-27T00:40:00.005-08:00

What attack on Christianity is coming down the pipe? On May 6th, Dr. Peter Boghossian gave a public lecture, called "Faith: Pretending to know things you don't know". The rest of my post is a warning to all devout Christians, with suggestions on how to react. [DISCLAIMER: I only watched the introduction, and not the entire video; if he never said the things that I thought that he said, then my

Commentary On Genesis 1 - 3: Food And Sin

2013-01-20T01:56:00.001-08:00

I was searching for the first mentioning of death and poverty in the Bible, and I found myself wandering into Genesis 2 & 3. An interesting thing that caught my attention was the fact that a couple of things were food related: God cursed the soil and the food aspect of our lives; and our first sin was eating. Is it possible that there is symbollism in eating? Please read the rest of my post and

Obeying The Bible Less?

2013-01-10T15:23:00.002-08:00

I'm so amazed. Even in this day and age, there are people, who identify themselves as Christians, and kind of get paid to, but they seem to want to put off that identification. Every time enemies encourage us to obey the Bible less, the members of the community search inward for comfortable opportunities to obey less. The end. Thank you for reading!

"Church" As Defined In The Bible

2013-01-08T20:01:00.001-08:00

I just realized for the first time that the word church was used before Christ died on the cross. For those of you, who don't get the significance of this: this means that the word, church, as used in the Bible, also included Old Testament believers. Before Christ died, everybody lived under the Old Testament laws. After he died, we lived under New Testament laws. The word, church however, stayed

Enjoy the last of the brainstorming. ...they hugged. He inhaled deeply, savouring her light citrous scent. He watched her put her hosiery clad feet into her calf high boots, and they stole occasional glances. On the way to the bus stop, they held hands, and chatted about lighter topics. They ended up at the at the supermarket. After they entered, he said, “Tell you what: why don't you pick out a

I hope that you enjoy this. As we pulled up to the tourist information centre, a park ranger waved at us. He came over to the passenger window, and said, “Pull over there. We have plenty room. Keep to one side, so that the fire trucks can turn around, and so that they have plenty of space to unload things. We are expecting several more trucks. When you are ready, come around back of this

Here are more brainstorming ideas. I think that there is much potential in you, and I am pleased that you are joining the order. I think that it will guide you and give you a sense of purpose. There are a lot of people out there, but you are a rare kind, and sending you out in the world, and not be part of the order, would be a waste. # # # John said, “I don't know what to do. Carl really seems

I tried playing around with action scenes and various other aspects. Cluck. Tom caught Mr. Woo's sword where the guard met the blade. Mr. Woo leaned in, and the two swords moved towards Tom. Tom grunted, and gnashed his teeth, as he pushed back slowly. Mr. Woo straightened his legs, and pushed Tom off balance. Tom tried to break his fall with his left hand, but accidentally landed on the back of

I hope that you like these thoughts! John sighed and shook his head. “I can't believe what happened.” “Let's hear it.” # # # John said, “I don't think that it's fair that they can get away with that.” “Technically, they don't.” “Why doesn't anybody speak out against them?” “What is there to speak out against? They are just doing their jobs.” “No, they aren't. Their jobs are to be good leaders.

Enjoy my brainstorm! On the sundeck, Mary looked out on the busy streets below. The street lights and head lights showed the energy of the city. Her black evening dress hung elegantly from her body. Dr. Evil came out to the deck, eager to finally give her a kiss. They embraced. They parted for a good look into each others eyes. Snag! Two wires wrapped around them; one wire per neck. Two thugs

2012-11-30T00:01:00.000-08:00

Enjoy my rough notes! At last, the preparations were finished. I knelt in front of the altar. I closed my eyes. I breathed deeply. I inhaled. I slowly exhaled. I inhaled. I slowly exhaled. I repeated. I repeated. Not even half a minute later, a smile emerged on my face. The babbling of the brook changed from a noise in the background to a song of peace that filled my ears and my mind. The moon

The rest of my post has day #7. We laid hands on each other to improve our health. We used the same technique to cross as before, but this time, Dickerson led the way. He cautiously poked at each hold. The others did not need to be told what to do, and neither did I. We did exactly what he did, and we tried to follow the exact path. I was the second last to step on the other side. The big

2012-11-28T14:09:00.000-08:00

In this day's writing, you could see me use blanks for filling in later. I wanted to focus on the bigger picture first. Please bear in mind that the ending is abrupt, because I finished writing that part at the start of the next day. I wrote it in a different file, so that it would be easier to count words for each day. Enjoy day #6 of my NaNoWriMo writing. Reed said, “What do you think we

Enjoy Day #5, by reading the rest of my post. The first thing that we did was try to subdue him. We brought out the poles with the collars attached, just as if he were demon possessed. He sidestepped them, and then swatted them away. He even laughed and gestured for us to bring on more. My platoon commander, Commander Tomlin, said, “So, he's using kung-fu, eh guys? Let's show him a thing or two.

A big thing that we believe in is that we need a broader view in order to properly deal with all of the types of problems out there. There are just some things that are not doable with out a special power of God.” Cool. Tom continued, “Another thing is

Read the rest of my post for day #3. If you have any suggestions, then let me know. Carl never liked to back down from a fight, or even an argument. When the other player, Brock, taunted Carl, things erupted. Fortunately, Tom was bigger than all the others, and fortunately, the other players helped to separate the two. Even though the two continued to eye each other coldly, they mostly behaved

Here is day #2's writing. The rest of my post shows you all. John's bus turned the corner and pulled up to the stop. Through force of habit, he pulled out his month pass and found a seat; all without losing focus on his latest encounter. He could not stop thinking about how special he seemed, and it made him feel good. For most people, paladins and clerics were just fantasy warriors and priests,

Here is day #1's writing. I think that you will get a good chuckle, when you see me changing the story line in mid-paragrah. The rest of my post shows you all. John stepped off the train, and headed straight for the coffee shop, across from the train station to meet Carl. As he walked there, he looked at almost all the young girls, the big buildings, and the new shops. Central Station never

NaNoWriMo 2012: My Second Journey To Literary Acclaim

2012-11-23T15:20:00.001-08:00

I am excited to participate in NaNoWriMo this year. I must say that I was a bit intimidated, because last year, I really had to push myself to find stuff to write. A year later, I feel that I have a better grasp of what story elements to include. Also, I improved my ability to just brainstorm and write, and this helped me to push through this personal writing marathon. So, I was quite glad to

Me, Suicide, Amanda Todd

I felt suicidal in 2010, and a good friend "made" me go for treatment. Good call!With all this hype about Amanda Todd, you would think that I would be sympathetic towards her, but all of this only makes me want to scream and kill myself.All of "you" seem like such heartless drones.

Update To GNUstep To XCode Guide

2012-05-07T00:01:00.004-07:00

I am getting a little desperate for money, and a little curious about what it would take to make an iPhone app. So, I decided to go through the guide again. It seems that the guide is not entirely accurate, or it is prone to accidents. So, I updated the GNUstep To XCode guide. I changed a link to a tutorial. The new tutorial makes the same app, but it is an updated version of the tutorial with

How To Set Up HP P2015 For Kubuntu 10.04

2012-03-30T12:01:00.005-07:00

I finally managed to get LibreOffice to see the printer automatically, without a restart, and Opera web browser to see it, with a restart. The rest of my post tells you the instructions. I installed the following software, which was found in KPackageEdit. CUPS [probably installed already] HPLIP [we might not need this; too lazy to check] If your applications cannot see the printer, then you

I Have Schizotypal Disorder Or Asperger's Syndrome

2012-01-11T17:00:00.000-08:00

I visited the walk-in clinic doctor today, and it turns out that the psychiatrist that I visited a while back, did make a diagnosis for Asperger's Syndrome. The psychiatrist wrote that I have a schizotypal disorder or a mild form of Asperger's Syndrome. The next step is to get a bit of counselling, so that we can correct any major weaknesses, and focus on my strengths. I must say that this
