Wow, your post is perplexing. >>I'm not saying the Bible is wrong

Having "no real issues" with the historical part of The Bible says it all. The Bible is historical indeed, and if the part about enslaved Jews stands, so does the part about the price being paid, and the resurrection. Faith overcomes those so-called impossibilities. The problem is not that religion can't keep up with the times, because while the minutes roll on, and time changes, the human condition has not changed. The problem has always been man turning away from God. The creation of everything by God has been a well known fact by countless generations of men over countless ages, and is documented in The Bible. You find that hard to believe? Why is it easier to believe the new myth of the big bang theory. Why is it easier to believe the new myth of the theory of evolution? I find it hard to believe that anyone accepts that from nothing came a long series of perhaps tens of thousands of accidents, resulting in you. There is good news! God is caring and compassionate, and looking for a relationship with you. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

New blood is what keeps this lifestyle alive. You, me, all of us were the new blood at one time. Shit hit the fan? Absolutely! Ticking time bomb? Absolutely! Death and destruction is not limited to the "new blood". The best of the best are going in. Know your limits. Know you're close to death each time you step off. Odds are always 50/50. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

St. Mary-Corwin (719) 560-4000 ICU #2003 He isn't taking calls, but the nice nurses will give him your message. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

Wow, that's a doozy. Incalculable almost. Are you talking money? Are you talking time? Are you talking life and limb? Are you talking relationships? Are you talking career? Are you? I'd have to go through more than ten years of receipts to figure out the $, and I don't have time for that right now, I'm busy unpacking from the Go Fast Games, and then I have to pack for Bridge Day. It hardly seems the point. I've spent as much as I could over the years to get gear and more gear, and as much as I could to get from here to the edge of whatever. It's cost me every waking moment since 7am on December 12, 1993. It's cost me some sleep as well, but I can sleep all I want when I'm dead. I dream BASE in color. It's cost me many friends. Friends who didn't get the BASE bug and couldn't hang with such a "nut". Friends who did get the BASE bug, and it ended up being terminal, (you know what I mean). Stepping of the edge in San Antonio was perfectly free, reattaching my foot to my leg so I could even walk again: $58K. I had a girlfriend in the early nineties. After 200 BASE jumps it was "her or the parachutes". And she was a pretty decent girl. Moving all my crap out of her house was expensive. (My wife today is totally committed, thank God). For a decade I've been all but unemployable. I can't get through a five day work-week without some excuse as to why I have to leave early, or why I have to come in late, or why I can't be in on the third week of October, of any year. But the jumps are free. Free from stress. Free from worry. Free from debt. Free from the broken water pump on the old lady's Ford. I would not trade any of it for anything, including the time in a Texas ICU. Now I'm free to stand down, walk away from any jump, any time, no matter what the cost of getting there was in the first place. I've already seen the inside of a hospital. Bottom line: I can't afford NOT to BASE jump, I'm broke without it. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

I spoke to Joan, Robin's mom, today. He is doing well and in fairly good spirits. His C-5 fracture is in the front, so no sugery but will wear a halo for months. They opted not to do surgery on his fractured scapula, but will let it heal naturally during his convalesce period. His right elbow is pretty bad, as he had a previous injury. They did a surgery on the elbow to repair it. His real big problem is his left leg. Compound fracture (multiple) above the ankle is very bad. They cannot operate for a few days while swelling goes down, so the doctors really have to watch out for infection. I have a history with Robin, not all good, but he is human, and a fellow BASE jumper. He needs the prayer and hope for recovery from us all. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

Actually, my opinions do matter, and the fact that you keep addressing them is a testament to that fact. Of course you want me to be quiet. Do you claim to know what "kind" I am, or what patience I have. I responded to your questions, maybe you didn't like the answers. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

Moral corruption affects us all, but perhaps the secular society has you brainwashed into thinking that "anything goes" is really ok. If "anything goes" IS really ok, then why does it bother you so much that it bothers me? What I mean to say is: if you are right, why then do you care what I think? Do you want me to STFU because fundamentally you know I'm correct. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

Sure. I can convince you of anything. As long as you'll agree. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

Yes I did answer the question. And I was not vicious or violent. You think you have the right to be homosexual, yet want to deny me the right to have a moral objection. Huh, a narrow-minded pervert, go figure. Oh, and >>"it's ok with the sheep, so it's ok for people"

Which part is funny? ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com

>>"It's been present in the human race for thousands of years">"When you've had an open dialogue with someone who is gay">"weakness for being recruited?">"OK, so what's your recruiter's name?">"This tired old argument"

You have been lied to. Come back and comment when you have children. ================================== I've got all I need, Jesus and gravity. Dolly Parton http://www.AveryBadenhop.com
