"The Perfect Husband"

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker- function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen. MAN: "Hello"
WOMAN: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
MAN: "Yes."
WOMAN: "I'm at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"
MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."
WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2007 models. I saw one I really liked."
MAN: "How much?"
WOMAN: "$65,000."
MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing. The house we wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $950,000."
MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer $900,000."
WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you!"
MAN: "Bye, I love you, too."
The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are looking at him in astonishment.

Then he smiles and asks: "Anyone know whose phone this is?"

I've seen it before. I've seen people fall to their knees crying because they found Jesus. It's really something to see.

Yes, I've witnessed that so many times. It's a truly wonderful thing, they find they're purpose, they find hope, they find peace for the first time. And all the while, Heaven's angels are rejoicing.

You speak of eternal damnation a lot and what a lot of people don't realize (again not trying to convert) is that it's something that's very easy to escape.

Exactly.
My pastor always uses the 'better safe than sorry' statement.
Basically, he talks about how he would rather believe in Jesus either way, whether it is true or whether it is a lie. Because if you think about it... you're safe! If you die and you're right, you go to Heaven. If you die and you were wrong, oh well at least you're not going to spend an eternity in Hell. That's why so many people convert right before they die -- They don't want to take that chance.

I think it's because they know what a change or difference it made in their lives once they found God. They've gone through things I'll never experience. They serve God more than anyone else because they've lived both ways and I guess they just came to realize which one was better.

Okay... I am going to Chicago this summer to the FBLA National Conference because I won 1st place in the state/regional competition in the category of Computer Apps. My problem is, I need to study a lot more and I'm currently not enrolled in any computer classes. Does anyone know of where I could get my help from? Books, websites, etc.?

All I really need is the basics... (parts of the computer, how they work, and so on.)

Since most of the members that post in this forum are of the younger generation I would to know how to you feel about Paris Hilton as a teen role model?

Paris Hilton is no role model of mine. She is dumb and really needs to get some education. She parties, drinks, and possibly does drugs(?). Yes, some teens tend to think she is something special these days but anyone in their right mind would not follow the footsteps of someone like her. I don't think she's pretty. I don't think she should be allowed to do what she wants just because she's wealthy. I do think she should be in jail for as long as anyone else is. She is not an exception.

Basically, I don't like her. :o)

This whole incident is a crock of crap. Well, not completely, she should be in jail. For the full sentence. Without being placed in a special "high profile" area. No wonder the rich and famous don't learn their lessons...

Exactly.

When did i call you a b***h. To tell you the truth im not angry with you. You did get my last mail didn't you? You take people's suggestions and comments in the wrong way. What WolfPack said was wrong. Send a mail to davey. Tell him how you feel. And one more thing. Please stop giving bad rep's to people and tell your BF to stop that too. People can clearly see the picture. Sorry if i ever been rude to you.

If they deserve a bad rep, I'll give it to them, it's not like their points go down all that much anyway. I didn't say you called me a b****. I said you gave good reps to Narue for making fun of my thread... or rather, me. But I clearly understand, I'm stupid.

These are some optical illusions that 'caught my eye.'

First picture, [think] - is this possible?
Second - Focus on the dot in the center and move your head backwards and forwards.
Third - Are the purple lines straight or bent?
Fourth - Do you see gray areas between the squares?
Fifth - You should see a man's face and also a word.... (hint: try tilting your head to the right, the word begins with the letter 'L')
Sixth - This is not animated. Your eyes are making the picture move.
Seventh - The instructions are on the picture...

So Rashakil Fol gave you bad rep because you didn't follow the thread topic which says to post anything you want to? I'm sick of the whole bad rep thing. Just because of the thread topic you should be able to say whatever you want and from now on anyone that gives bad rep to anyone else on this thread will get bad rep from me (unless it is very very obviously deserved) and I know I'll probably get bad rep just for this post but let it happen. Don't give bad rep for no reason unless you're willing to get some in return.

Thanks...
I also don't like the rep system, it's stupid.
And EVERYTIME I bad rep someone for a good reason over something, WolfPack "equalizes" it, even when they bad rep me just to get me back and he doesn't "equalize" any of mine because he has something against me, obviously. Almost everyone in Daniweb does. WolfPack even gives good reps to people who make fun of me - and I'm sick and tired of it. People get mad at me just because I have an opinion of some sort. It's really stupid and unfair. And I guess I should expect some bad reps for this post also. =/

If this thread was about surgery you would be comparing scars and thinking that it was germane to the topic. Are you sure you're not really blonde????

No, I'm a brunette who is smart and knows what she is talking about. This thread is about teenagers who drive, mine and Infarctions conversation was about teenagers who take driver's education in high school. Which is obviously and completely on topic.

If this thread was about surgery, then we were talking about classes that doctors must take in medical school to be considered a surgeon.

Think about what you say before you post, you make absolutely no sense whatsoever. And congratulations, you have 'derailed' your own thread.

I thought this was pretty funny...

A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer.
His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.
The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.”

Theories do not = fact.
They are simply a hypothesis of what could have happened if this or that took place.

joshSCH
Theories are not fact, true. But they have been proven true from every scientific experiment so far. The theory of evolution has yet to fail a scientific test, and has never come into conflict with any other scientific law/theory

‘Stein
Theory is a theory> Indeed

mattyd
No, Evolution is not a proven fact; a theory is not a series of proven theorems but only a series of tests (or observations) backed-up at times by successful, single experiments that may-or-may-not-be able to be repeated. How does this prove Evolution?

'Stein commented: Agreed. +6

The thing is, people are going to believe what they want. I don't think this is ever going to change on this thread. I've tried over and over to convey my beliefs, and I don't think it has had any affect on anyone.

I love debating and standing up for my faith, but it wouldn't bother me too bad if the thread closed. I mean, it is a good thread though. I believe everyone has made very valid posts, for the exception of the name-calling earlier on in this thread.

Duki commented: =) +2
christina>you 820 Posting Sage Featured Poster

I do not believe in faith. So basically you are saying that you believe in god because it makes you feel good and makes you have a sense of purpose? And that if it makes you feel better then its ok to believe it?

I've gone through this about a hundred times with Josh. So I suggest you just go back to the last 82 pages.

But again, I do not just worship God because it 'makes me feel good,' I do it because He deserves it. He is worthy of all my praise and glory.

And of course you believe in some kind of faith.
If you study for a test, you have 'faith' that you will make a good grade.
If you go to sleep, you have 'faith' that you will wake up the next morning.

Faith is just another word for assurance and confidence. So you cannot say you don't believe in it. =/

You seem to be very closed-minded, Sturm.

Give me ONE reason why god exists and I will refute it. Or give me more, I will refute them all.

Then why ask us to give you reasons if you're just going to reject and deny it?

christina>you 820 Posting Sage Featured Poster

No, I'm saying humans unconsciously created religion in order to explain what they could not..

Or maybe religion has always been in existence. Religion is believing in some kind of deity, and throughout the ages, there has always been someone believing in that. Whether it be Allah, Jehovah, Greek gods, or some cow that certain people think is 'holy,' religion has always been around.

Eh, I don't call it scientific either. I call it historical.

christina>you 820 Posting Sage Featured Poster

Through faith, followers only need to trust in God. Evidence and science mean nothing.. So long as you have faith, you will someday know everything and be with god in eternity

On the contrary, there is little evidence to support Christianity. If anything, science refutes the idea of a supreme ruler of the universe. There is no scientific data that backs up religion..

There's a lot of evidence that proves Christianity, but I have already gone over those... and I'm too tired to re-post them.

But in reality, we have faith because we believe in Jesus who died for our sins and rose again 3 days later. We don't need any proof, even though there is hundreds of points I could make out.

christina>you 820 Posting Sage Featured Poster

And what proof do you offer of life after death? What scientific evidence do you have for a soul? Over billions of years, life has evolved into complex organisms that have an advanced state of consciousness. It took billions of years for humans to evolve, and we are not even close to being perfect. Evolution will continue after our deaths, and soon we will all be forgotten..

It's not about proof, it's about faith. Christianity is not like Science... you can't have all the answers you're looking for, sometimes you just have to believe.

christina>you 820 Posting Sage Featured Poster

I haven't gotten any bad reps out of this thread. Maybe it's because I'm not taking sides. Everyone should probably just stay neutral and stop bashing people's posts. Doesn't that sound like a good plan?

christina>you 820 Posting Sage Featured Poster

yea.. but you don't really believe it was created in 7 'earth' days, right? Most Christians argue that God's 'days' are much different than ours..

I believe both.

This story is another reason why the bible was not supposed to be taken literal. Creating the universe in literally 7 days is unrealistic, and science backs the idea that it took billions of years. The story was simply supposed to tell people that god was the creator.. not specifically how the Earth was created

Actually, the story was written for that purpose, why do you think it describes how God created everything into being? "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth..." and then it goes on to describe what He did on each day.

Creating the universe in 7 days is of course unrealistic in our simple minds, but remember that Christians believe God is too powerful for us to even begin to comprehend.
