Personally, haven't read The Rocketeer, only watched the movie.

If anybody here has seen Queen Kong, I will be... really surprised.

It was supposed to be released around the time of the original, I believe, but they were sued and postponed it for years and years.

It wins the "worst movie award" for every category

shitar- had they killed him on the spot, he would have never written those wonderful books about butterflies and antigangery!

So, anyway.  When is his next book coming out?

Oh.  Wait.  Er..

Maybe he already has.

6:30 - 6:45 .. wake up

6:45 - 7:00 .. shower, shave, etc.

7:00 - 7:20 .. clothe myself, grab some breakfast, distract the dog.

7:30 - 7:45 .. stand around at school like a sleepy idiot

7:45 - 2:40 .. scoo'.

2:40 - 4:00 .. stand around, wait to get home

4:00 - 11:00 .. PARTAY!!!

um.

I'm not very good at this.

Midgets are fun to look at.

I ate too much.

UGH.

However, I don't myself accept intelligent design as a logical argument for the existance of a "god". Some people look at the world and see a bunch of stuff that fits together so well, it must have been thought up. I think a lot of these things are just doing what comes naturally given the laws governing their make up. Some of the laws are just the natural evolution of other laws. I think it comes down to a few laws in the end. Why do they exist? I don't know, but I sure don't see that as a reason to think some guy thought them up.

So you think that a few eternal laws lend to themselves, and that sounds more logical than an omniscient creator? o_O

I don't have time to really rebuff that, so rather, I will say this..
How could the first cell have evolved?  Anybody who's taken biology would know how complicated a cell is, and how essential its many parts are.  If it wasn't specifically created, how could it have lived without an energy source, storage space and general celly cell stuff?  I don't care how many billions of years you give that cell - it would die fast.  It wouldn't even live to begin with!

Also, how could there be laws for things that aren't in existance yet?  A natural law shows what usually happens in the world around us.. what is the norm.  It can't say what usually happens without something.. to er.. usually happen!

Of course, if a god does exist, the question naturally presents itself; who invented god? And so on, and so on. So it's not much of an explanation at all, really. In the end, we don't know shit about exactly why anything is.

If God doesn't have a beginning, how could he possibly need an inventor? 

Our Lord Jesus Christ came to this earth to show us how His Heavenly Father wanted us to worship Him. The priests, bishops, and pope, play key roles in doing God's will. Jesus is with us in spirit but not physically here to guide us to His Father. Christ instituted Holy Orders within the Catholic Church so that man is given the power to forgive sins. Yes, it's a very powerful attribute to have. We do not have this power to forgive our sins...that would make no sense. For example: I kill someone...look up to the heavens and say, "Oh, I'm forgiven...because I can forgive myself." No, no, no! A priest can't even do this. He must go to confession and confess his sins to another priest. That's the way Christ made the sacrament.

Here is a link regarding the Catholic Church... and I'd be considered a "Traditionalist."

Just to clarify, let me state that I already know more than enough about the Catholic faith - you must have misunderstood me.

To be frank, I don't believe you when you say Jesus calls on priests to forgive other men.  A sinner can not forgive another man, because priests are just as sinful as the ones they are supposedly cleansing. 
"all have fallen short of the glory of God" ...

We're forgiven whether we accept it or not.. it is the acceptance of the forgiveness that saves us.

if priests can't save themselves how can they save others?  It's like, can you save a drowning person when you are yourself drowning?

Also,

"Jesus is with us in spirit but not physically here to guide us to His Father."

Do you not believe in the Holy Spirit as a separate entity of the Trinity?

Ephesians 1:13-14, "In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory."

Ephesians 2:8-10, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

Salvation is a result of no one's works but Christ's... I don't care how big their hat is.

I suggest you read the parable about how are you to get a speck out of your neighbor's eye when you have a plank in your own eye.

rharpe - If priests can forgive sins, and do all of those wonderful things.. I don't see where Jesus or the Holy Spirit come in any more.  I don't mean to trample on the Catholic faith.. but popes, bishops, priests.. they are absolutely not a necessity for getting to heaven.

"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Priests, bishops, etc all have a duty and should be respected.  But they have no more authority in letting people to heaven than any other man.

What good is a priest if you can't talk through him, to God? Priests study between 6 to 10 years in a seminary about the faith, morals, and God's expectations. They learn to interpret the Bible and study hard to lead souls to God. With all their knowledge and experience they have, what better person could you possibly think of that could lead you in the right direction? (I'm speaking of a catholic priest, by the way... I don't know anything about pastors, rabbis, warlocks. witches, etc.)

Priests aren't supposed to do all the praying for you.  I'm not Catholic because I disagree with how much credit they give their heads of the church.  The Bible is there so you don't have to have somebody interpret everything for you.. assuming that's what you meant when you posted that.  A teacher is absolutely fine, but a "bridge" between you and God is quite different.

"[priests] lead souls to God"...

No.  God leads souls to God.

I use a private Wiki.

It's mostly empty at this point, though.  I need to do lots of filling. 

Can be very handy for team projects.

Very impressive. 

I recommend you add some type of system which shows how much language, violence and/or nudity there is.  Perhaps there could be a rating for 1 - 10 on each, or something.  That way, it can help me choose who I take with me to certain movies...  Don't want old Grammy seeing stuff she shouldn't

- BTW, which Blockbuster did you work at?

You're kidding right? Last time I checked, muslim extremists blowing themselves up for their one true God and christian fundamentalists banning evolution textbooks weren't exactly making the world a better place...

Explain how both Muslims and Christians can both have two different one true Gods.

Boy, would I like to see that on fire.

"Horace" or "Jasper"

Yes, it's the pose that's the killer here.



Tried explaining it, but thought this image did a better job.  Taken from one of the many books I have.  Sorry, author.

If you listen to about 7 mintes and 17 seconds, you can hear my voice break

I'll go along with everyone else and apologize for my microphone.

No, that's a height limit
