    well OK not sure what that has to do with anything. If I weren't skydiving I would be rockclimbing. I prefer skydiving. Your previous post implied that the goal in rockclimbing is getting to the top and the goal in skydiving is just to land. Neither statement is true. I really don't know what the point of this is other then it seems you just want to argue. So I am finished with this.
  2. beowulf
    right, but you don't always live through the landing. I prefer to land with out injury or death. How you land is essential, but not the whole point in skydiving. Just like in rockclimbing it isn't just about getting to the top as it is about how you get there. If all you wanted to do was get to the top of a cliff there are much easier ways then climbing.

    That is funny. Apparently that person doesn't understand that it's not about reaching the ground, but HOW you reach the ground that is important.

    I am sorry but I lost interest about a fourth of the way through that. It's just too long.
  5. beowulf
    that is very interesting. What heart rate monitor did you use?

    If god were to know the future then the future would be set and there is no choice.

    That doesn't make sense. Parents don't always know what their kids will do. They will have a better guess then most.

    Well I was going to wait till I was 87 years old, but I can do it at 86 just for you.

    Yeah everbody at work knows. Once one person finds out it goes around pretty quickly. The president asked me last week if the plan was to just keep jumping till I die. I said yes.
  10. beowulf
    Yeah I have done that. Haven't done that in long time now. But I used to like to do a solo jump on the sunset load and do a stand and rotate to get a good view of the world. Makes for a nice jump at the end of the day.

    I still don't understand how you could possibly think your religion is any better then any other. They all have the same amount of evidence to support them. Basically none. This 'salvation' you speak of sounds more like an imagined benefit then anything real.

    I certainly don't attribute things happening to an imaginary being that watchs down over us and sometimes helps and sometimes doesn't. I don't believe in destiny or karma. Your other choices are good descriptors. Sometimes shit happens and sometimes you get lucky. If I don't understand why something happens then I just admit that I don't understand rather then just say this imaginary god person did it.
  13. beowulf
    Isn't that contradictory? Wouldn't 'sometimes' or 'it depends' be more accurate? Do you attribute everything to gods will? What about when people say god has blessed them for such and such thing? Isn't that attributing such and such to god?

    I have the picture BillVon took while closing in on the latest World Record Formation in Thailand on my desktop here at work. I don't belly fly, but I can appreciate the diffuculty in what they did.

    Your right I shouldn't attribute that thinking to all religous people. I should have said that all religous people that I have ever met have exhibited that characteristic. All religous people that I have met have attributed different things they see happen to god. Do you not like to attribute good things that happen to you to your god?
  16. beowulf
    Nice side stepping the point I was trying to make.
  17. beowulf
    All that says to me is that you have a good imagination. Religous people look for god in everything they see. If something good happens they attribute it to god, if something bad happens it's gods will. He is punishing me. If you look hard enough you will always find what you are looking for whether it is actually there or not.

    Hey not everything from NYC is bad. I get all my picante sauce from NEW YORK CITY!. I know not every online store is very reputable. It just depends on how much you are willing to risk for a good deal.

    I found it here http://www.42photo.com/productdetail.asp?level=&catid=316&productid=13635 for $794. I know someone that has bought from this online store and had no problems.

    I really don't think it matters which party is in office or controls the Senate and the House. They are all still politicians.

    As an atheist I think that there is no god or gods but there are beings out there that we have never encountered yet. Those are new species that we just haven't found yet. There are no supernatural beings. Those are what people imagine.
  22. beowulf
    I would say NO. An atheist would be someone who doesn't believe in god or gods of any kind.

    I am sure who ever setup that computer for her was probably thinking they were doing her a favor by setting that and making it more secure from hackers. Most people would never try to network their computers and so they would never have any trouble. Guess your not most people

    It isn't set that way by default. Someone had to have gone in and set that. I have never used that setting or ever had to change it and I am a network administrator.
