  1. He is not really "religious". I would classify him as spiritual.

    When Time Comes

    "When the time comes ..." Is that the equivalent of "When pigs fly ..." ?
  3. All I know about Mesrop Mashtots is that I used to refer to my Dad's measuring tape as "Metr Mesrop" while growing up. Don't ask me why ... don't know how it came to be ... but even to this day, both my dad and I ask for the "metr mesrop" when we need to measure something when working around the house.

    Christianity

    Man!!!! NOW we're getting somewhere. That is the Christianity I wouldn't mind being associated with. The philosophies, the teachings of Christ, the moral and life lessons, all the good stuff. Why can't pepole focus on the good things of Christianity as opposed to trying to insist all this rediculous irrelevant nonsense about ghosts and goblins and afterlife and what God will do and what God should do and what character in what word of what verse of what page of the bible was capitalized or what puncuation followed which verse ad nauseam ad infinitum and then repeat over and over ... For a long time I was quite content being associated with Christianity and trying to incorporate its moral lessons in my life. I can't recall how many times I have for example personally done the "turn the other cheek" thing. And it has worked very well for me ... I have been quite happy and satisfied with the kind of person I had become. However, the more I realized that there were so many people that actually believed all those Christian metaphores, symbols, fables, and scriptures LITERALLY, the more disgusted I became with the whole ordeal. And in addition to the nonsense, the snobish, elitist, "I am better than thou" attitudes portrayed by so many supposedly "enlightened" Christians sickens me even more ... Why do people have to take something that could be so very valuable and worthwhile, and turn it into absolute garbage with their sitgma, dogma, superstitions, arrogance, and plain old ignorance? It has now reached a point where I realize I don't need all that to be a good person. And instead of trying to associate myself with something that has sooooooooo many negatives (in my opinion) in addition to some of the positives left over, I have basically made the decision to not consider myself a "Christian". If anyone out there thinks that makes me a bad person or that I am going to Hell, then screw you ... it's your problem so deal with it.
  5. Ooo ooo oooo I'm so glad you brought that up. I don't know why but for some reason I was under the impression that word means sailor or something. Am I even remotely close? I guess it would also mean "ship-spider" too But I searched the forum and found your post last year about this:

    The 3lb Burrito ...

    To my defense, I didn't order that one ... I had ordered a very nice steak fajita. But this certain someone had to order the 3 lb burrito ... and of course her eyes were when it showed up. I couldn't resist taking a picture with the burrito ... the waitress lady said she only knows of one person who has finished one. I think it is very doable but not if you have had chips, appetisers, and tortillas ... that place makes some excellent fresh tortillas ... oh by the way, the place is called "Pedro's" and is in Madison.

  10. Wow I was going to say exactly the same thing
  11. After reading this, I think the director of Brokeback Mountain would be Ang Lee
  12. Why not? In the end of end, religion, beliefs, culture, identity, etc are all PERSONAL things so why must we always demand some sort of blanket definition where everyone is supposed to live by?
  13. I think most intolerance on the "Christian view" is directed towards the non-tolerant parts of the "Christian view". A religion is not to be tolerated in and of itself just for the sake of tolerance. I think any ideology only earns my tolerance, if it is tolerant of others. And as demonstrated over and over by many so called "Christians", tolernace for other ideologies seems to be one of the least valued aspects of the religion. And that is expected since many so called Christians are under the firm belief that all non christians will go to Hell. Of course that thinking couldn't be further from the truth (and maybe even TRUE Christianity maybe).
  14. Hmmmmm ... I guess he'll be working feverishly to open up the internet to his people. Or maybe he wants his people not to be ignorant and unenlightened, within the realm of what the government sees as appropriate knowledge But at least his speech is a LOT more promising than those demanding the total destruction of other nations.

    Speaking Of Tolerance

    I reat that yesterday and was I can't wait for southpark to make an episode about him and the scientologists now hahahhaa
  18. Very funny Sasun Anahid, I was not talking about you in specific. I know you were joking. I was talking about all those in general, that rather have us stay in the "dark ages" of religion and living our lives based on what we are told, rather than have us open our eyes and discover The Truth (whatever that may be) on our own. By the way, I don't know where this "well read" business comes from. I am probably one of the very worst read of all around here

    Looks like someone had some fun with photoshop.
  20. The CD changer controls indicate that you have a cd changer input at the back of your factory radio. That is where this module will plug in. There are things out there that let you control an IPOD specifically with those cd changer controls but yah, a generic line in is probably a lot more versatile. If you look on the web, I'm sure you'll find information on how to open up your dash to get to the back of the radio. But yah, car audio stores do this on a daily basis. The only thing you would have to make sure is whether the module works with your 06 (I assume it's an 06). On the website, most are still speced for up to 05 ... I don't know anything about hondas and whether anything changed from 05 to 06.

  22. No, it YOUR choice to accept Christ. Whether or not you are Armenian, should have no bearing on your choice in this day and age.
  23. It's funny but scary at the same time ... it is really the case that some want to keep everyone in the caves so to speak, preserving the status quo forever
