As for the claim about God , The Bible says a lot of things, some that contradict each other. The Bible says that God created good and evil.
He did. If he didn’t, everyone around him would all be good and it wouldn’t be a challenge to never sin. So when he created evil, it was to uncover all those whole loved and believed him, even against death, and all the draws of sin.

If you belive god to be omnipotant and omniscient then tests are pointless cause the results sre already known so it is just needless suffering.

That’s a stupid thing to do.

If you make someone love you and they have no choice there is no love, it is forced. It has to be that person’s choice. So there has to be good and bad, it’s easy to love someone when everything is going well, it’s when it’s going wrong and is hard going that it’s tested.
I was asked to sit in a Christian ‘Recovery’ meeting two weeks ago. The premise is fine but what bugged me is that regardless of the issues anyone is facing the answer is pre-determined – say yes to Jesus. As if that is going to fix it. Have a chat, say yes, and you’re off on the path to a great life.
Oh and Christian preachers on the streets who proclaim people are sinners and going to Hell if you don’t accept Jesus. Go away and get a better way of presenting the message.

Offline I don’t like it when people apply their religon to others.
Like that preacher who claims that people who belive diffrently will go to hell.
I think religon is a personal thing and everyone in the world has their own beliefs that are on them.
Sally’s beliefs are not Joey’s so he shouldn’t be judged by Sally’s belief system.

Offline It really pisses me off as well when people try to shove their religion down your throat, especially parents. My father is a devout protestant, ironically from a devout catholic family, and he believes that if the bible says it’s wrong, it’s wrong. For example, he believes being gay is a sin and won’t let me do anything feminine, such as shave my legs or wear makeup, he even refuses to wear pink because he thinks it’s girly. Also, he thinks that if you’re not a Christian, you’re going to rot in hell. Before everyone starts thinking that my dad is a shitty person, he’s not, he’s a really nice and caring person and teaches me a lot of stuff about computers, I just hate that he tries to shove Christianity down my throat.
In reality, whether or not you believe in god shouldn’t matter, you shouldn’t try and make people feel like they’re going to rot in hell, Christians feel the same way about God and the Holy Bible that Muslims feel about Allah and the Quran or Buddhists feel the Dhali Lama and meditation. I like what Starr Shine? said in the philosophy thread, religion is like a placebo, it makes you feel like there’s no wrong answer.
I personally believe life is like Groundhog Day, in that when you die, you are conceived again and then born around the same time and will live another life, this time slightly different. For example, if I die, I will go back to being a fetus in 1998 and will be born again, but this time it may be in February 1999 instead of March and I will live a different life and this happens infinitely.

Offline It’s been a while(at least it feels that way) since I’ve posted about a legit pet peeve that I have.
So this time it’s people who can’t read, comprehend, and follow directions, and if they don’t know what something is they don’t ask for clarification and instead do the opposite of what the directions said. That got a bit specific, but let me explain the situation.
(In spoilers due to it being rather long)
So I mentioned the senior roast and toast dinner thing that my ward does every year, and how each senior has a slide show with a song and what not in the Impossible to Derail thread. So I’m in charge of making all the slide show videos, which I don’t have a problem with, and I don’t mean to brag but I make them look rather nice.
So this will be my third(and probably last due to me leaving) year of making the videos. The first year I was given a jumpdrive with everything laid out and organized, and so all I needed to do was put the videos together.
Last year the parents/sieniors just emailed me the pictures, without someone organizing everything before hand, so I had to organize all the pictures and then make the videos, which was a struggle.
So this year the patents/sieniors emailed me the pictures, but I put specific directions on how many pictures, and the order and what not so that I could just plug the pictures into the video and go. The directions were pretty clear, but someone is bound to not follow them, even in a group of 4 seniors including me.
So one of the directions is that the last picture needed to be a PORTAIT ORIENTED senior picture to use as the picture on the DVD of the video that they get, as well as their senior display thing at the dinner.
But this kid
This kid(senior, not a parent) sends me her pictures, and her senior picture is LANDSCAPE. A tad bit annoying, so I go to crop it so that its portrait, but the resolution on the picture is so low, that when it is cropped to be portrait it’s super blurry.
So I text her and ask her for a larger resolution image….she sends me that same exact picture. I then ask if she has a portrait oriented senior pic. She proceedes to send me 4 BLOODY LANDSCAPE PUCTURES that have the same problem as the first I repeat the request for portait oriented pictures, and she replies with “Right. How do I send them so they are portrait oriented”.
The wise words of George run through my head…”Beating my head on a brick wall, hard like a stone”
Then I explain to her what a portrait oriented picture is, and tells me how the photographer didn’t take any, so she guesses that she’ll just have a blurry senior pic.
Whatever
I’m so done with this person more so than I would be, since she’s done other things that have ticked me off this year.

Agreed, but this is a collection of still images, so being portrait isn’t a big deal.

Offline The fact that vintage technology is more fun to learn about than modern technology, why are vinyl records, 8 tracks, reel to reel tapes, cassettes, film reels, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, ZX Spectrum, and various other vintage things more fun to learn about than newer, more advance technology, whenever I go on Wikipedia or watch a video about vintage technology, it always makes me wish I was alive back then and as fun as it is to imagine, it’s sad when you realize the truth.

Offline Fucking France and their casual sexual harassment.
An hour ago I was walking on the Promenade in Nice and some guy my age came up to me and thought I was Russian. So he started speaking in Russian to me, then said “you speak French?” (from this point on all of the dialogue is in French). Of course, I was noping the hell out of there and ignored him, didn’t look in his eyes whatever. Eventually he came up to me as if to touch me or some shit and I said quite loudly “I swear to God , fuck off!”.
He had this little shit-eating smirk and I sped away to where the zebra-crossing back to my place is. Obviously, I didn’t want him to know where I lived, and my way home is through some generally-empty streets so I stood beside a railing, crossed my arms and waited for him to walk past. He came up to me again and said “why are you not talking to me? Come on!”. I told him “I’m not an object, now leave me the fuck alone!”. Then I swear to God he did the ‘look-up, look-down’ move all with this stupid grin on his face. I practically yelled at him “Jesus Christ, what is wrong with you!?!”.
I then went over to some seats and sat next to a woman waiting for him to get the message and realise I didn’t want to have sex with him, and he came up to me AGAIN! I screamed at him “I AM NOT INTERESTED IN YOU” and he finally walked off.
The thing is soldiers are walking the Prom now because of all of the tension at the minute, and there was a female soldier in the patrol. I would have fucking loved if she was around when this creep came up to me.
And the thing is, somebody is going to say “oh but not all men are like that”, and “it just doesn’t happen in France” but I have never, ever had such continuous harassment in a country as I have in France.
In Germany they stare and back home I rarely ever get catcalled. It makes you feel like it’s you who is at fault for attracting attention to yourself but he can jog on for all I care, I’m still going to wear the same clothes I wear now, have my hair the same way I do, whatever. It’s just such a shame that I can’t go out ONCE, just once in France without some man trying to get me into bed (this isn’t an ‘oh I’m so pretty’ post btw, I’m riddled in mosquito bites at the mo and I don’t know how anyone can find massive red splotches on my face and arms attractive).
There are such utter misunderstanding pricks in the world

Offline Sadly there are a number of creepy arseholes in the world. A quick hard kick or knee to his bollocks would have given him the message to fuck off and done so many a favour.

Offline You could try telling them that you’re a lesbian and you aren’t into men, it’s a gamble though because although it could drive some men away, there are some men that really like girls who are into girls, I never realized how perverted Frenchmen could be. You attire could turn them towards or away from you as well, you’ll want to wear clothes that don’t show off or emphasize any areas that could be sexually arousing to men, the most notable ones being breasts, buttocks, legs, and feet, so knowing what you were wearing would really help.

Offline Depression and mental instability. I’ll be honest, I feel like shit today and am really pissed off and it’s due to these 2 things. Nothing worse than being depressed, whether it’s because something bad happened in your life or if you’re like me and feel like you wasted your whole life and want it back, having OCD and behavior issues doesn’t help it at all and being on this website is the only thing keeping me from going completely insane, I’m also mentally unstable, I can’t focus on anything and I feel very uncomfortable around anybody, the only thing I want to think about is The Beatles and this forum, I feel like everything’s going to get worse and I hate the idea of living for another 60 years.
