historically, they believed this rapture buisness happens after the bad armageddon stuff. leave it america to come up with this crap.

incidently, in dude that makes peace in the middle east is the bible's antichrist.

love living in bangkok. 50 cent smoothies, or for a quarter, waffle on a stick with a hotdog inside. would be ideal if i wasn't across the street from a red-light-type area.

They got most of the obvious ones. I would have made a slightly better list, since I read the Bible 6 times a year. But, not bad-I would have used about 5 of those 9 on my top ten list.

pool hustling is a famous pastime of the prostitutes in bangkok. always fun to root for them over dinner.

my old translator from when i was in pakistani kashmir recently got arrested and beat up for a couple weeks for a pretty bogus reason.

i've met some nice police and military officers though. even the crazy taliban villagers with AK_47's will offer chai.

I like the perspective of elevating the low to take a jab at the high.

Maybe it works b/c the Christianity which this monster most clearly parodies is already scandalous in the same manner, with the creator of all things becoming a man and dying in order to undie by virtue of the deep magic of an indistructible life, so now the christians say "the redepmtion of our bodies,for in this hope we were saved"

so, bodies that rot and turn to ashes can get permanent entropyless bodies because god punished god to death for violations of nongods.

sophistry. williamsburg, death rate impies death rate per year.

the article was wise to point out that living longer does not mean that you're healthier, especially in the american health care system set up to expensively extend lives of people sick, often because of diet.

the interesting study was not thorough enough in that they did not look at the variable of metabolism. low metabolism may up your lifespan. skinny keeps you healthier, but it's possible to be skinny with a big metabolism if you work out or something, which could lead to these results.

well worded quote.

one one hand, it's really unfortunate pastors would actually tell people who to vote for. (i'm an evangelical myself.)

but, it's accurate to say that, in christian theology, mormonism has the potential to mess up salvation. here's my attempt to simplify it:

1) Mormon Jesus is a created being, not The Creator. Wussy Jesus = less effectual atonement on cross. biblically, trusting that atonement is what saves.

2) their eschatology (study on end-times/heaven) gives the impression that you replace God by becoming a God of your own world. don't have to love God to have that hope.

3) The goody-two-shoes culture in LDS sacrifices the whole point of the protestant reformation: it aint about "be good to get good w/ god," but is about "b/c of cross, i'm not guilty, and now have to capacity to work on being less bad in this life."

I am a fan of this person. Devo, Rugrats theme song, and soundtrack for movies like Rushmore

I use honey mustard for salad dressing. mustard is healthy and big taste with barely any calories.

This diet is actually really good. Don't need to feel hungry (even if fasting is pretty awesome too.) The more you do this, the healthier you get, and the easier it will be to listen your body's built-in desire for food that feeds it well. i'm no hippie, but fruits and veggies are just good stuff.
