Oh Ma God Oh Ma God Have you guys seen the latest update on that site? SHOCKING! Simply SHOCKING.

I think it's more of a testament to how much 2D images can mislead someone about a 3D object. Lighting, angles, makeup, all make a big difference to create the illusion. In reality, all of them are neither as good looking as the good pictures nor as bad looking as the bad pictures. They are somewhere in between ... but most of them, on average, are much more photogenic than your average person.

The Opera one is the best .. the look on that kid's face is priceless!

Well, we already have a draft for the Plege of Loyalty (aka MJ's test for Armeniannes) in place

Here's a quick link to a previous discussion on this topic here.

don't you mean "it's very improved from a couple of years back"?

And to think ... $1000 last year could have been $100,000 this year!!!! that's a lotta buffets

So let me ask you this ... if there are infinite universes, and gravity is split between them, then wouldn't gravity have to be an infinite force in order for there to be a finite measurable force in each universe? ... well either gravity is infinitely strong or 1) gravity is not split among all universes or 2) there are finite number of universes.

You had to say it didn't you? You just HAD to say it.

Hey Azat, Thoth, Gevo, Juggy, et al ... you may want to check out this auction. I want one for X-mas That's one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. I think it will go well with this thing which I want for my birthday.

Let's just say I respect your taste in cars. My new neighbor that just moved in has a yellow Wrx ... it has fake STi stickers so first day you can imagine my disappointment when I figured out they were fake But he drives it like a mad man!!! He told me he does 4-wheel power slides when it snows all the time.

I have to say ... not that bad looking for a F*rd

That's what makes Sasun special. He is now quite spiritual but not a blind religious fanatic that preaches God in every 3rd sentence. Although I sometimes disagree on certain issues with Sasun, I do have a lot of respect for his beliefs, especially since he never tries to force his ways on anyone. By the way Sasun, your god-hatin past is news to me as well!

One more of these was relesaed today ... it's a pretty imporant one so just a head's up to keep up with windows update if you don't want to have a big hole in your PC where a hacker can get in. Details can be found HERE.

This site was posted before ... I though it was pretty good. http://learnarmenian.com

By the way, I have no problem with the ten commandments. They make a lot of sense as a good way to lead one's life. I don't see how that has anything to do with "God" as it is quite clear anyone with a mild level of intelligence could have come up with a similar moral rule set (if not exactly the same). Similar moral rules existed much before Christianity so I don't think the Christian God who showed up only 2000 years ago should get credit for those.

That's exactly where everything you stand for falls apart. If God is the almighty power that put heaven and earth in place and created time, man, and everything else, then WHY would he bother with "free will" ??? Wouldn't he already know everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen? Your super-powerful God is the main reason why your creationsim theory falls apart as well. I am basically done beating this dead horse as I have found there is no point in trying to rationally discuss anything with those who are irrational to begin with. The playing field is not level.

Enlighten us .. what is asked by him? And remeber, a good Christian is not supposed to get angry. That's God's job. That much I do know about the bible. So calm down please.

Well, goes to show you no one is perfect But you are right about my free choice to wanting to kick your ass!!!!

The part about God actively influencing everything. At this point, I am fairly certain I have free choice ... in other words, God is not dictating each and every one of my actions. Even the ultra ultra ultra-religious will confirm this! After all, that's how their entire "heaven and hell" afterlife story works ... that is if we have some choices of our own to make in life. So having said that, what I am not sure about is who or what set everything in motion ... maybe "God" did ... maybe some other force did. Who knows ... we will never know. But what I do believe is right now there is no God influencing things ... there are certain fundamental laws in the universe around which everything is happening ... gravity, electro magnetism, etc In the end, what it comes down to is this ... all this God talk is completely irrelevant to anything going on in our lives. Things have been set in motion for whatever reason. Now it is up to us to live our lives. Whether we believe in God or don't believe in God or the "higher level of existence" etc etc is completely irrelevant to anything that is going on in our reality. I believe we humans are in control of ourselves and should stop trying to look for things to blame things on. Oh God wanted this ... oh God wanted that ... oh may God do this and that ... NO. Take your life into your own hands and be responsible as an active, thinking, living agent in the universe.

Your question was towards atheists. I can't answer for them but if I had to guess, I don't think being atheist necessarily means you accept evolution. I do not believe in God but I am not firm in that belief. I just don't see any reason yet to believe such ... so Domino has labeled me "agnostic" or now "fadixian". I do think evolution is a very plausible explanation about how we have ended up here. To be even more clear, I find the evolution explanations to be MUCH more satisfactory to me than the biblical explanations of how we came to be. Hope that answered your question.

Let me turn the tables around and ask you this ... if you do believe in God, does it mean that you categorically reject evolution? Let's not even go to evolution ... do you reject the existence of dinosaurs? If you don't then how do you explain that there is strong evidence of life having existed on earth waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before the first human ever was thrown out of the garden of eden? Why did the dinosaurs disappear? Did God make a mistake? Did God get bored of them? God didn't make them in the first place? What? If you do believe in God, do you necessarily reject all these questions?

I'm pretty proud of #15 ... yes I have done it!

The other 2/3's will be the muslims that will kill the remaining 1/3

I didn't read all of it but at least 20 seem to apply to me.
