    vanzack - you might be on to something. you have a "reputation" to uphold, + just the fact that a rookie upstart got the attention of a covers icon should be enough.

    you are betting with your head + not over it by not taking the poker bait. but a 10k covers capping challenge you say. since you are blessed with supermodel connections, i imagine you like all things foreign + will drag the contest across the atlantic + in the realm of the euro round ball game. where you think my knowledge is about as tip-top as the barkley golf swing + you can make a "messi" of me.

    and no doubt your slick world cup group write-ups were "picked up by several reputable websites and run (with credit) on their sites."

     a pro gambler that cant pick, so he feeds his image in discussion forums, + crawls away with insults instead of stepping up. i guess i take it in a walkover.

    In other words: Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.

    Gotta love a Bible quote that essentially tells you not to bother with work or preparation because God has your destiny mapped out already.

    And these are the same people who find Muslims to be backwards since they trust their destiny completely to Allah.

    I truly think it will be refreshing once life is discovered outside of this planet (since it was only a few hundred yr's ago that we learned the earth wasn't the center of the galaxy and the sun wasn't the center of the universe)....Don't get me started because the earth was flat when these concepts got started, and ignorance explains all deity beliefs

    When life is discovered elsewhere I hope religious concepts suck it up and realize they are built on BULLSHIT...Funny how Jesus was supposedly against wealth and power yet today the wealth and power have learned to exploit jesus....HMMMM in the game of Bullshit, I call Bullshit!!!!

    Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.-----Matthew 7:7:8

    Why doesn't god talk to anyone anymore like he did in the old testament Why doesn't he tell anyone to do anything like he did in the old testament How come there aren't anymore great stories to add to the bible  He sure was a lot more hands on back then...

    Go back to your 10 commandments - THOU SHALL NOT COVET.  Stop coveting what I have, and learn to like your miserable existence.  You will be much happier.

     

    Is there a bj you can spare ?

But God did not want sin to keep people from having a relationship with him. So he provided a way in which people could be cleansed of their sins and live with him in heaven forever. He gave his only Son, Jesus, as the perfect payment for everyone's sins.

    Praise the Lord Almighty!!

    So God has a plan for you, but you also have free will? 

    Yes, IMO, we are on this earth to love and have a relationship with God.......But you always have the free will not to do this.....

    For example, i am sure God has a plan for a prostitute, i am very sure his plan was not for her to be a prostitute, yet out of her free will she became one.....

    To be honest amongst many other things........The fact that everyone is a sinner should be enough for you to believe in God and Jesus Christ......

    if there was a non sinner that lived, then one would not need Christ........but the fact that everyone is should be proof....

    will i jlt9889 go to heaven? is god all loving and forgiving? i am going to go drink my ass off mouthing off the hot young women thinking of having sex with all of them and trying to take them to my hotel for sexual intercourse.  and then i will ask for frogiveness

    next monday tuesday and wednesday i will work.  use profanity, not think about people starving as i indulge in lunch,  and expect dinner when i get home.  and then i will ask for forgiveness

    thursday i will go out for happy hour and drink with some friends . use vulgarity , try to holla at some women, eat till i cannot eat no more.  friday wake up witha  huge fucking hangover and use gods name in vain.  drink lots of water and go to work with a bad attitude and treat everyone around me like shit because i feel like shit.

    fridayi just run home eat and crash. saturday wake up drive to casino, drink all day,  stuff my mouth with food, gamble some more, go to the pool, mingle with people drink some more and gamble all ngiht. smoke a little joint to chill.  wake up sunday and aask for forgiveness.  and god will forgive and send me tot he kingdon of heaven because i accepted jesus christ as my savior? he will not perish me because that is all he wants

    this my friend is the christian life in america. SAD TRUTH

    any religion is for the feeble minded. they used it back in the day to control people. but you would figure with education and science that some humans would have been passed this. but some are just retarded and must follow something because they are too WEAK MINDED. its your fault christians.  your mind is just weak. WE ATHEIST FORGIVE YOU.  no god.

    Basically, god has a plan for all of us and that's why some prayers get answered and not others, because it's part of his plan...UNLESS, you use free will to change god's plan. Holy shit! An imperfect human being can change a perfect god's plan! But wait, I thought we couldn't change god's plan? Oh that's right. The answer is whatever is most convenient because the events of the world point so overwhelmingly against the existence of a god that you get trapped in your circular logic trying to dig out of a hole so deep, not even god could get out of it (or could he?) lololololol I love this.

    you said it best circular logic.  yes we have concrete evidence and you have a thing called faith.  i just do not understand christians, muslims and all forms of religion.  you guys put your faith in something that you cannot feel, touch, see and taste? why? would u die for god? i know what your answer is. do not embarass yourself with that answer.

    Yes, I get it, the bible says these things. But, again, why should I believe it There are a lot of books that say things. Do you believe everything that is written

    Are babies who die, and then go to heaven, babies If yes, do they grow up If they do, do people keep getting older or do they stop at a certain age Are people who die when they are 100, still 100 in Heaven That would suck Not sure I would even want to live for eternity...
