I've taught a few kids to cook in my time, but none that young. I think that would be fun:-D

Yup. It used to be shown at 5:30 PM on cartoon network.

I know it's not Sunday yet for all of you. It is sunday morning for me. I'll be going for work today, as is usual with me. I wonder what you guys do? (1) Go to work [meaning office] (2) Sit at home and code? (3) Go to Church (4) Sleep throughout the day (5) Sit at home and do some non-programming type work (6) Take kids out (7) Get drunk (8) Anything else???

Nothing wrong with thinking about your childhood days. One of these days I'm going to go rent all the movies I remember from when I was < 6 years old, movies I associate really nostalgic feelings to, and spend the day on my own watching them all. It's a date! :) - Jason Do you have a Pulse? SonorkID: 100.12194 :bob:'s your uncle

There is no, to my knowledge, proof of god. ;P If he/she/it will not show him/her/it self to me, then why should I belive in it? And I don't buy any of those not-to-the-point explanations about god not being an individual but rather something within us. Christians believe whatever is in the bible. The bible is the sole foundation of their religion. Some people even call it the words of god. Preachers preach the bible. They talk about "his love", "his this" and "his that". Clearly, god is an individual (and I'll assume that god is a he, last time I checked, fathers were male) - he speaks, he loves, he ses, he hears, and probably lot more if you read the bible more closely. Now, why is it that I have not seen nor heard this guy? Surely, after 26 years I should by now have seen at least one sign of him. Please enlighten me on this subject. For me to believe in something, I need to see it. If I cannot see it, I have to trust other credible evidences. (And no, 1800+ year old stories are not credible to me). Logical proof that god cannot exist: Assume god exists according to christian beliefs. This implies the following: God is almighty (meaning: nothing is impossible for god) Since god is almighty, he must be able to create a stone so large and heavy that he cannot lift it. From this we can conclude: a) If he cannot lift the stone, he is not almighty b) If he cannot create the stone, he is not almighty Hence, the statement "God is almighty" is a contradiction. Since a contradiction can never be fulfilled, the assumption that god is almighty (christian beliefs) is wrong.

And I don't buy any of those not-to-the-point explanations about god not being an individual but rather something within us. The Bible is explicit about the fact that God DOES offer to show Himself to individuals, in a way which He rigidly defines in the Bible. This offer makes it easy to prove if there is or isn't a God.

If I cannot see it, I have to trust other credible evidences. (And no, 1800+ year old stories are not credible to me). It's quite simply really. The Bible states that people who ask God in the proscribed manner will recieve a personal, phyiscal experience of God which is not limited to, but always includes, the ability to pray in a new language which we do not learn or understand. It's an excellent system - it IS true that some faith is required, but prebelief in God is not, I know people who recieved this experience when they asked God in order to prove He did not exist. This works well because the proof I speak of is compelling to the individual, but is unlikely to make the 6 o clock news, as external proof such as making people levitate or glow in the dark most certainly would. In other words, each person must come to a point of being willing to find out for themselves, and then they will receive physical proof from God. I'm sure your experience of religion is such that you'll come back and say 'so there is proof for the preconvinced', but this is not what I said. If you think that, please read my statement again.

This offer makes it easy to prove if there is or isn't a God. Ok, if I understand you correctly; the bible says (and ultimately God) that if I show faith in him, he'll show himself before me. Fair enough. I think I can counter this one. In my mid teens I was knee deep in sh*t. I had really bad friends. I don't know how I got them, but I had them. I was never a problem child before that, but from that point I was securing my path down (way down in the gutter). I did not see then that those people were not true friends of mine. We just hung out and did things (mostly stupid things). My mom and dad couldn't do much, since at that time I was pretty much in a "parents are clueless"-phase. But then all of a sudden, everything changed. I don't know why or how, but I got away from those people and got new friends. These friends happened to be members a local church. I don't know the english name of the organization the church was involved in, but I know that the centre of their beliefs was in Jesus as the saviour and the new testament was the book. Their bible didn't contain a single page from the old testament. You're the expert, you figure it out. ;) Anyhow, all of a sudden life started to point upwards again. School started to work out, grades begun being numbers instead of ticks. My new friends asked me to tag along to a youth christian once-a-week meeting thingie. We hung out, eating snacks, watching movies, playing ping pong, and of course praying. The normal teenage stuff (except for praying, depending on where you come from). I was cool with everything but praying. It felt really awkward because I had always figured that God is Santa Claus, and we all know what you learn at 6. Santa Clause doesn't exist. The guy knocking on the door each christmas was actually dad. Putting my hands together and praying felt really bizzarre. But I started thinking, maybe there was some truth in what they were saying. Maybe this Jesus guy was the one straightening out my life, so I started to w
