What would those messes be by the way? I'm not the one who has created animals that eat each other alive, and the other messes that exist in this world.
Have you run so much out of arguments that you're 'kindly christian mask' has been cast aside to reveal the true bitter character underneath?
That would not be untypical of most religious nutjobs I've met over the years.
You, sample and faithfullness combined show the true sad picture of the harm religious indoctrination, and the superstitions it engenders cause in people. In a way, I truly feel sorry for you all.
I do think that the crap you religious people have come up with in this and other threads is silly and stupid.
Believing that the world was created in 7 days, pre-mortal existence, praying in order to be healed instead of going to a doctor, believing that a christian doctor is better than an atheist one, believing some all powerful spirit decided to create the universe as some sort of hobby/toy...
The list is endless. Have you got your answer now?
Well, considering it is not a common thing to see, I'd say it would probably mean she's the transgressive type, and not much worried about what others might say or think about her.
I have to say that seeing some photos of shaven headed girls, it DOES look good on some (but not all) women.
Shooting back the question to you, why do you bible thumpers feel the need to shove your superstitions down other peoples' throats at every opportunity?
The difference here is that while I'm just a mortal, your god is supposed to be all knowing, all present etc. It's much easier for him to set things to right.
Of course, an aemoeba would probably understand this concept before you from what I can see...
Think of this as a computer program. If god had not programmed us with a pre-disposition to sin, and be just good, we would not sin. Hence the responsibility still lies with him as the designer. I've been trying to explain this to you ad nauseum now. You obviously aren't capable of understanding, or beating around the bush at this point.
And you actually believe that?
Seriously lady, see a shrink, you're in great need of help. Even those hamas dudes aren't as fanatic.....
If you don't eat meat, where do you get your proteins and iron from? You need both to keep your muscles strong and healthy.
I am a regular blood donor, and due to my lifestyle that involves sports practically everyday my iron levels tend to be lower than the average. Iron being one of the elements that the body loses most of when sweating.
I once was not allowed to donate blood precisely because my iron level was too low (though still within healthy levels). When the doctor asked me about my lifestyle and I told him that I eat healthy and do sports everyday, he said that as a minimum, a person like me should eat red meat AT LEAST twice per week.
Of course, I agree with you that eating a steak everyday is NOT healthy either. We need both meat AND vegetables to stay healthy and fit. If on the other hand you're a couch potato (not aimed at you mind, just in general), then yes, eating red meat often can be damaging.
The smarties example was just that, an example. There are lots of other placebos used that have no direct physical relevance to the hurt in question, yet still make a patient feel better if he really believes in it.
Typical of you to wriggle like an eel around any argument eh?
But isn't your god (supposedly the creator) who created a flawed product in the first place? Who set the laws, or couldn't he have created adam without the opportunity to sinning according to your logic?
If I design a car with faulty brakes, it is not the car's or driver's fault when said car will fail to stop and crash into somebody; it would be mine as the designer.
Anyway, how does nailing a jewish carpenter to a piece of wood supposed to make the world go to right? I do notice you produced a very convenient escape clause in your reasoning, that man has to work towards salvation in order for the crucifixion to work.
In that case, the crucifixion isn't that successful then, since by itself it can't set things to right. You christians are truly hilarious, it's impossible to reason with you, yet you come up with the craziest of notions; the funny thing is, you actually believe them!
At least we eat those when they're dead. Are you really suggesting that eating something that is still alive isn't horrid?
By the way, you've still failed to respond to a previous post of mine. How you praying instead of visiting a doctor is different from a primitive tribesman in the jungle going to his witch doctor?
I think that Juve not being averse to selling Diego is a way not to incite a Del Piero/Diego incident. Del Neri in his first interview upon taking the post said clearly that he'll play a 442, and that Del Piero and Diego can't play together (both being what the Italians call a seconda punta).
The thing is that Juve have already sold young Giovinco to Parma, and if they sell Diego, are they really expecting a 35 year old Del Piero to hold up for a whole season?
Re-Roma, yes Totti is still there. The Capitano is like wine, gets better with age, he's still able to get those radar guided passes, and his shots are as powerful as ever; but his speed has declined drastically over the past couple of year (he will be 34 this October after all), and he's been more and more injury prone since breaking his shin in 2006.
When Totti is injured it's a sort of mixed blessing/curse; as the other players seem to up their game when Totti is away, but tend to depend on him a tad too much when he's playing. Vucinic in particular does brilliantly when Totti isn't around, but can't repeat the same goal scoring form with the Capitano present.
I'm an AS Roma supporter, and I have been following Liverpool with a sympathetic eye since Aquilani joined you last year. He's a wonderfully skilful player, one of the old style 'registas' but unfortunately he's incredibly injury prone
In his last 3 seasons at Roma he probably didn't play 30 games combined.....
Re-Serie A, I think Inter will find it difficult to repeat last year's success. Even though I hate Mourinho's guts, he knows how to get the best out of his players over a league campaign, something I'm not so sure about as regards Benitez. They're still the strongest squad out there, but there's always the risk of backlash after winning a treble.
Roma are pretty much the 2nd main force. We've done a big gamble signing Adriano on a free transfer. The guy used to be a powerhouse at Parma, Fiorentina and the early days at Inter, but depression and alcohol problems hampered his career in the past couple of seasons. Now he's (supposedly) out of that (fingers crossed) he should add a lot of power up front. I think if Roma fail to win the league this year we'll really have missed a big opportunity. Young French star Jeremy Menez really started to shine in the last stages of last season, and this year could be 'his' year. We just need to avoid our usual achilles heel, i.e. dropping silly points vs. the relegation battlers who close up shop and spend 90 mins in their own penalty area.
Juventus did a 'Liverpool' last year, and have been rebuilding their team. They've brought in Del Neri as coach who's a bit of a gamble. He does brilliantly at small clubs (often challenging for a UEFA cup place), but the only time he managed a top club (Roma) he did abysmally bad, Roma even flirted with relegation at one point that year. They've offloaded a lot of players and brought in new ones, but none of them is a 'star'. It'll take them some time to gel together, plus they're still not clear on the direction on where they want to go. Early on it seemed they'd focus on Diego to be their main playmaker, but recent weeks have shown an interest from Bundesliga clubs for him, and Juve don't seem averse to sell him...
Milan are an ageing squad who's 'best' offensive threat is Ronaldinho, now really overweight and with his belly bulge really starting to show. Seriously, I see them having a disaster season this year.
Possible outsiders might be Napoli, Palermo, and in particular Genoa who've spent big this summer. Genoa play a 3 man defence, which is great vs. 2 striker attacks, but gets really torn to pieces when they face 3 striker teams like Roma and Inter. They need to learn to change tactics for those matches if they want to go up a level.
Sampdoria clinched a surprise Champions' League berth last year, and this might hamper them for a repeat this year.
I see it more as a Man Utd vs Chelsea battle with Man. City being possible outsiders for the league challenge (so long as they gel together early enough in the season).
Sorry but I don't see how Liverpool can battle for the league title. They did horribly last year, haven't made any new big signing, they even bought Poulsen from Juventus. I follow the Serie A, and believe me, there's no Juve player who is sorry that Poulsen has left Turin.
Apart from that you run the risk of losing Mascherano.
At best, Liverpool will battle with Arsenal for 4th place. Spurs' performance in the league might be hampered by playing in the Champions' League for the first time, but they are a team on the up and can see them get at least an Europa League berth next year.
Did you check out Manchester's new signing today? It seems a lot like the story from the movie 'Goal'.
Man. Utd. bought a Portugese guy called 'Bebe' who up to a couple of years ago played in the 'homeless' world cup. He was then signed by a Portugese 3rd division side, and earlier this year was bought by a 1st division team there, but had not yet made his debut for them.
Ex-Utd. coach Queiroz suggested this guy to Sir Alex, telling him he's one to watch. According to Queiroz, Bebe learned football on the streets (the guy grew up in an orphanage), and so is 'different' from the youth academy grown footballers of today.
His price tag was 7million Sterling. Haven't seen him play yet, but would surely make a fairytale rags to riches story if this guy is good don't you think?
You know, if you ever have children, I'd really love to be there on the day one of them gets sick and you refused to take him to a doctor; and then explain your reasons to some social worker.
I'm sure the state would take your kids off you in record time.
So sin created parasitic insects? Didn't you religious guys not believe in evolution, but that god created all creatures? Kinda contradicts your arguments doesn't it?
Let's for a second say that sin created such creatures. Isn't god the creator of the universe, hence sin is one of his creations too. You might argue that the devil created sin, but satan was created by god as well. See, all the bad things go back to your god
Then again, I doubt logic will work with you, you pray instead of visiting a doctor for a broken hand
Well, medicine can't cure everything, and if she still ate harmful stuff (you said so yourself there was stuff inside her that you wouldn't imagine people eating), no wonder the problem didn't go away.
As for vomiting during prayer, maybe she was inspired by the movie The Exorcist, or maybe she got sick of you people chanting at her....
It was much more recent than that actually, people in Spain were still being burned at the stake during the years of the French Revolution in the 1790's.
Artist Francisco Goya's famous sketches illustrate his eye witness accounts vividly. Goya had painted caricatures that were deemed disrespectful to religion, so the inquisitor of Madrid 'kindly' invited Goya to attend some poor sod's burning as a 'friendly' warning of what would happen to him unless his art became more diplomatic.
Here in Malta we still had an inquisitor as well till Napoleon arrived in 1798. Spain and Malta were the last 2 countries to remove the inquisition in fact.
