Criminals are probably very upset about this. Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

You can use scripture but be sure to explain the reasoning for it so the average layman can understand it. I always get told that the answer is "because it says so" without a reason. For example while one has to obey the laws of the land regardless if they see the logic in them, but a lawyer can often explain to the average joe the rational behind seemingly senseless laws.

When I got into the sport I was in a low income bracket and could barely afford to scrape enough cash together to by a second hand rig. My progression in the sport was often stunted by financial constraints. If having an AAD had been mandatory I would probably have given up the sport as the extra cash was simply not available. I realize people will respond with "you can't afford to not have one", but the truth was that I could not afford one. I have ran into many people who have had the same dilemna. Mandatory for student rigs is fine but individual liscenced jumpers should be left to decide for themselves or the sport will lose a significant amount of members due to excess startup costs.

I agree. Now if you excuse me I have to go cry for a while. Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Fair enough Kind of, yes. I am still waiting for an answer to the 2 dilemnas that I stated earlier on. Can you do me a favour and explain to me with a logical argument (not merely quoting scripture) why the scenario I described would make sense. Cheers, Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Hi Miranda, I appreciate your taking the time to respond but I am still more concerned about the rational behind the law more so than the scripture of the law. I am still not seeing justification for the double standard in discussion 2. that said I appreciate your offering input.

Understood. My primary concern though is the rational for eternal pain. He does not need to make it eternal. Once peope get there they probably would give anything for a second chance yet he won't give it to them. Can he not merely extinguish their souls. He is not being forced to make hell eternal. I still have not received a satisfactory answer to scenario 2 in my post. Suicides are not the most evil people in the world by a long shot yet they are the only ones who are cut no slack. Why?

But since he is all powerfull he is not limitted to circumstances. He could use his power to make those who were not evil but yet not saved just cease to exist. It's not as though he is merely following orders. He can adjust the rules for some middle ground can't he?

Blind dates suck. When I was single, my best freind and his girlfreind were always setting me up. They would call and invite me out and casually mention a freind who "was really nice", who would be coming along. I learned from too many experiences that this always equals disaster. Relationships happen when they happen and there is little you can do to influence fate. Richards.

I don't think I have ever spoken to you on this sight however I wish to say how gatefull I am to all you veterans who sacrifice so much to go over to do the brave work you do. Cheers to you, and a speedy recovery. Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

It seems that the only reason for being good is to avoid hell, and according to that test we are going there anyway. If that is the case and you want to score brownie points should you not then try to appeal to the guy who runs it (satan). If I knew I was going their anyway, and would be at his mercy I'm not sure it would be in my best interest to piss him off by acting in accordance with the rules of his nemesis. If I had to go there than logically I would want to be real evil beforehand so when I got there he would say "Hey, good work pissing off my counterpart. You get some air-conditioning!" Just my warped logic. Cheers, Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

I am having serious difficulty coming to terms with this whole heaven/hell and forgiveness thing. Perhaps you can answer some questions for me that would alleviate some of my misgivings with religious teachings. 1: Eternal agony. What is the purpose of inflicting agony for an eternity. The idea of burning 24 hours a day seems extreme even in the worst case scenarious. I have a hard time understanding how even history's most evil figures could deserve to burn for an eternity! If 500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 milleniums have passed since a person has committed his crimes what purpose is being served by still keeping his soul conscious for the sole purpose of inflicting horrible agony on him 24 hours a day? 2: Here is a dilemna I have posted on this forum before without receiving an answer. Here is the scenario; > A man cruelly abuses and molests his daughter during her childhood. According to the bible he can be forgiven and go to heaven for eternal bliss. >His daughter runs away from home as a pre-teen and ends up in the hands of some cruel pimp who profits from her abuse and degradation as he also strings her along on drugs and beats her occasionally to ensure obedience. According to the church he can be forgiven and receive eternal bliss > She gets away from him and ends up with some asshole who beats her regularly and cheats on her. He can still be forgiven and get into heaven. After having had such a horrible life she decides that she can no longer continue to suffer like this and commits suicide. According to the church she will be cut no slack and will burn in unendurable agony for eternity. 500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 milleniums after she kills herself she will still be shreiking in horrible agony 24 hours a day begging pittifully for mercy, or even a moments respite from her agony yet there will be no mercy. Her agony will never end and she will continue to endure 24 hour a day agony forever without there ever being an end to her suffering. How can god or the church justify this? With all the horrible crimes that can be forgiven why are suicides ( who were merely weak, and subject to horrible circumstances on earth) the only ones who are cut no slack? Please help me make sense of that? I do not wish to come across as being disrespectfull to your beliefs or offend you because I am not like that. I do respect people who can commit themselves to a set of values/beleifs even when those beleifs conflict with their immediate needs. I just have a hard time understanding those particular issues I described above. Awaiting your response, Richards.

It will certainly clear up who was right and who was wrong when it happens. Cheers, Richards. P.S. Temperature control ? My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Everyone is fucked by that standard--even the hardcore believers! Walt Well I am glad to know that despite my disappointment in my impending eternal destination, I will at least be in good company.

I don't wear a hat but if I did I would remove it. I always do stand. With respect to those who don't I have resigned myself to the fact that some people are not capable of seeing anything outside their myopic "I have my rights to not show respect" world. I don't have the energy to beat it into them, but I too get pushed over the edge when people won't even stfu during the anthem, as they could at least respect that it does still matter to some of us.

Ive been to ogrish.com several times. I cannot watch the autopsy medical (too squeamish), and the war/crime/torture stuff makes me nauseous and I really feel sorry for the individuals involved so I avoid it; but the accident stuff cracks me up. Some of these people are so fucking stupid with the dumb stunts they try that I can't feel sorry for them and get a laugh (provided it's not fatal).

Hey that clicky you have there "Are you a good person" is freakin depressing. Based on that I am fucked! Scary shit. Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

No I didn't, which is probably why I miss the significance of the question. I presume there is some significance between that and my statement.
