kawaii~~~~~! =3 makes me wanna hug her. nice vectoring. keeping it simple ^_^ i
like the sketchy lines on the bag and for shading of the handles. "your
very own laptop model of persocom" does that really make sense? *not sure*
good color choice for words and background. everything fits well and sumomo's
colors draw the eye.
Thanks for the comment. But yea, I know there's something
wrong with my grammar, but I just had the feeling that I need to put the term
"persocom" in the sentence. Thsi is so embarassing... Maybe
"PERSOCOM. Your very own laptop model." should sound better. What do
you think?

Quote by DarkFate13I think this quote
sums up all I have to say about this topic. "Religion is an insult to human
dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil
people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes
religion." (Steven Weinberg, Physicist)
who exactly do you have in mind when you say "good people to do evil
things, that takes religion"?
Sorry for the late reply as I had more pressing matters. My grieveances with all
organized religions and those that administrate them are many and would take
some time to explain so here is an excerpt from a paper I wrote a few years ago
on the subject in order to expedite the process. But the main point is that
"god's will" is easily perverted to fit the ambitions of those that
have the power to abuse it and that people are easily manipulated when that
institution tells them that if they don't follow they just might be
next.
"The Bible tells us to be like God, and then on page after page it
describes God as a mass murderer. This may be the single most important key to
the political behavior of Western Civilization." (Robert Anton Wilson)
Throughout history mankind has looked at this chaotic cesspool of a world and
has yearned for someone or something to make sense of it. And thus man created
God, an omnipotent being in the image of man, to give order and meaning to an
anarchic futile existence. ("Religion in Society" by L.D. Howe) In
time worship of these deities became organized and religion was created; they
soon established a chain of command and those in power quickly abused their
authority. They exploited the masses by placing ignorance and zealotry as some
of its key values thus allowing them to order their followers do any number of
senseless deeds without so much as a thought as to why they should. They deemed
nonbelievers as less than human in order for the "faithful" to be more
willing to take part in their persecution. ("Religion in Society" by
L.D. Howe) It didnâ't take much time for the clergy of
these religions to advocate the genocide and rape of nonbelievers for the
purpose of either their extermination or forcible conversion, the result of
which is the various crusades, inquisitions, and ethnic cleansings that plague
history. This in turn has created a sadistic cycle of violence that has
persisted throughout millennia in one form or another. (The Freethought Zone
"Morality and Religionâ")
Well, thank you for opening up some threads. It's always nice to share some
points of views.
By the way, I try to be a christian, even though most people who know me usually
are surprised to know this. Being christian is not about going to the mass and
being afraid of God, it's more about having hope, trying to be honest with
yourself and others and finally recognizing what's great around you. But that's
the same thing with quite a good deal of religions...
You have nothing to thank for, mellon (Elvish for "friend")....it's
really nice to talk about God and not having argues, I really understand the
different ways to seek for happiness, and you're on the right path, I am
completely sure!
I must say, I feel honoured for having a reply on my reply jejejeje...^^ It's
just I wanted to show you I care for deep questions like this.
Well, my best wishes for you, mellon ^^ Hope you be fine when reading
this....may the stars shine upon you...take care....namarie...
Quote by joiboidadoughboithank
you for your testimony and congratulations on returning safely! i also do not
agree with everything all the different branches of Christianity say. i rather
turn to the Bible or pray to God and listen for what He has to say about it.
my paternal grandmother and maternal grandfather recently went through surgery
and my grandmother is still recovering from it. i hope i can follow your example
and seek God for comfort and strength when the time comes and when anything
happens, good or bad. thank you for sharing your
experience!
Thank you, it was not easy admitting that I truly needed God in my life after
being a non-believer for nearly three years.
You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I do have some advice
that may make this period easier for you. If you know the Serenity Prayer, say
it as often as you wish during the day. I've found that repeating it over and
over helps me destress and it's helped me accept things more gracefully than
before. My mom taught me this little prayer after I "came back," as
she puts it. If you don't know it, I could send it to you in a PM.
Quote by joiboidadoughboii
suppose that is the whole point apologetics exists: to prove to intelligent
non-Christians that Christianity is true. thank you. though i am rather
interested in your opinion of the whole whether God exists or
not
Well I don't believe in God myself, I want to know the truth and based on my
current ability to reason and my knowledge that is a lack of theism. Feel free
to PM me with your arguments for theism, I like to discuss it with anyone
willing to (BTW, I'm an agnostic atheist). ^_^
And why did you write that you are six years old? 0_o
