Tsuyu

Ha ha love the pic of the boy and the orc (oh i forget what those things were.) I wish i could find a funny appropriate image :S

ooh. Such fun . I've never seen a Futurama movie before, but I used to watch the show a whole bunch... Your a big fan of it, I assume?

Explaining to a friend why Twilight sucks... hehe. You?

Heyo

Hey Tsuyu,

You can find them all here

And then the petrol bombs begin :lol:

I think the best place to find peace and harmony amongst members is an atheist forum - they seem far more united than any religious group :lol:

:lol: Yeah, you'd think so wouldn't you? After all, none of us EVER have differing opinions to each other, misinterpretations of basic principles and general "I just can't stand you" type reactions :lol: - actually, I've found that a lot of christians annoy me, especially the hardcore right-wing ones who are so unbending that grace has become a first name for a girl to them and not the part of the foundation of what they profess to believe in. I think they annoy me because I used to be one and it's only when you're on the other side, so to speak, that you see how truly obnoxious it can be.

Plus there are so many "teachings" out there such as prosperity preaching which is, IMO, such utter bullcrap that I'm surprised they don't all spontaneously combust from the blasphemy of it all. If we were all meant to be rich then the christians in China and Zimbabwe wouldn't be struggling right now, would they?

I think the most arguing you'll find will be on christian forums - why do you think we have so many branches all claiming to have it right? Just stick a protestant and catholic in a chat room for ten minutes and it's a bloodbath :lol:

Meh - I figured if people can get away with making Jesus out to be blonde-haired and blue-eyed and incredibly white I can get away with my bobble head...

I remember signing up to a Christian forum once with the phrase "Jesus loves you - but I'm his favourite" in my sig. They banned me :lol:

Steve couldn't figure it out either...maybe it's a holy sign!




Or not :lol:

I know! I was soooo pleased with it but then it wouldn't work. I don't know what I'm doing differently to everyone else who has an animated avatar but it just won't work

I couldn't get it to work - it wouldn't upload as animated and I don't know why so I couldn't use it. It's still saved on my computer too; I was quite annoyed that Sephi had to spend time on something that I somehow screwed up...

Tsuyu, I apologize for the things I said in those threads a while back...

I meant threads not posts.

Woo! Snow!

And obviously I don't mean whilst he's still a youngster...but when he gets too big for bullying. Around the same time that girls become important and acne takes over :devil:

A few well-placed "my brother is gay" type rumours can do the trick. Unless he is gay and then it's just good advertising...

Sigh...I wish it was snowing. Snow cheers me up so much...

Sweet All our snow is gone now but perhaps you're getting all the stuff we had recently? If so, you're in for lots more

There are always ways to bully your younger siblings - my sister has been making it an art form for years and can still pick on me when the need arises. You just need to get creative :devil:

Just know if you ever need to talk, I am here, and I care, about my friends.
I still don't know what you sound like though.

Blade MrDK, has been totally out of line, on several threads, including one that was nearly a year old. He repped me for figuring out what he was doing.

:lol: thanks Tsuyu.

I don't believe the two are necessarily hand in hand - I think the one can often impede the other, if I'm honest. It's a common misconception that there are certain rules and regulations surrounding how and when and where you speak with God when actually that's all rubbish - there are no rules, really, just a willingness to take the time to talk and listen. It's not easy, that being said, because even when you do find the time to have a sit down in the peace and quiet to talk to God it often seems that He's not listening or talking back - that's because it's a discipline rather like meditation is a discipline. You don't necessarily get the hang of it straight away but perseverance leads to enlightenment, shall we say. I have spent more time talking than listening and I've been in the God Squad now for a good 22 years - I don't know everything, far from it, but I do know He's real based on what has happened to me over the years. And I've had some blinkin' horrible stuff happen to me so I've got as much reason as the next person to call it all a bunch of crap, I suppose.

The hardest thing is to let go of all the religion that filters through from various sources because that is what will hinder anyone who actually wants to make some headway with getting to know God. When it comes down to it, only you will know in yourself if something "sits right" with you or not - and this is developed over time by shutting the door, ignoring the world and talking with God. Just talking - nothing complex or ritualistic, no special phraseology, nothing fancy.
