So did I, I signed up after all - I was able to answer every point except the one about oil, which I couldnt quite figure out what to say to, I'm no expert on oil processes. I hope they let both of them through, I thought mine was quite good. :D

Thanks though... :)

Oh. I just concentrated on nuclear physics. But since you said this, I'll go back and refute the rather weak oil argument.

I really, ,really think I'm physic, because every time I close my eyes, I have a vision of something. This has been happening all of my life, but I was too sacred to tell anyone until now. Is this normal,and is there anybody else out there who is also physic?
No explanation needed. Just shake your head at the sadness. My reply to this would be: "Wow, I have a vision of something everytime I close my eyes too! It`s called an after-image, or possibly, I could be seeing something with my IMAGINATION! You know, imagining? That allows you to believe in fake things, like ESP and God?"

electric wrote:Re: Evolution

Evolution is a joke. If you believe in evolution, then you can't believe in Creation, and vice versa. You can't believe in both. Besides, evolution is just a theory, whereas Creation is a fact.
Looks like someone doesn`t know the scientific definition of "theory", nor does he understand the scientific method, since Creation is not a "fact".

COG4Ever wrote:Re: HARRY POTTER BOOKS!! good or bad??

Let me ask this. Do you need to sample something in a container marked with a "Mr.Yuck" symbol to know its poison? Do you need to try drugs for yourself to know they are bad? Do we need to try sex before marriage, in order to know that is messing up our lives? It is well known and advertised long before cracking open the HP books or seeing his movies, that he uses a magic that is not of Yahweh. A magic that is more or less a form of curious arts. Curious Arts is mentioned as a big "nono" in the Bible. In the OT God punishes its users. Why do we entertain ourselves with things that the Bible clearly spells out as sin. Pretend or not. Is there anybody here who dares to go against the flow of the crowd in pop culture and discern right from wrong, and then be brave enough to stand? So what if others think Harry Potter is cool. He clearly uses witchcraft, does he not? Why would anyone care what his plot is all about then? There is plenty of Christian contemporary alternative entertainment out there, that is very interesting, and makes you feel good but helps you be a leader not a follower. Do you want a good life in the future? then earnetly seek God's blessing. Often that means doing right even if its not part of pop culture.

Just the title of the books alone should make you want to get away from them as fast as possible. Do sorcerers sound like people for Christians to be hanging around or reading about? But besides that, most of the demons and spirits mentioned in the movie are real. The author of the book also said she is a witch. She said she wrote the book to spread witchcraft and get rid of Christ...and she seems to be doing a good job. With everyone, even most Christians convinced that Harry Potter couldn't possibly be bad, they are allowing Satan and his demons/evil angels access into their houses and lives. And if Satan has control, you know it's not good.

snoopyloopysk8a wrote:Re: HARRY POTTER BOOKS!! good or bad??

The AUTHOR of the books send that they were written for adults and that the books are EVIL. How many normal kids do you know go to the library and get 400-500 page books to read on their own *for fun*? Most adults don't read books that big. And if its just fantasy, why can't 85% of adults figure out? And there are testimonials about former witches and wizards who say that the names of the spells, the spirits, etc., almost all of those are real. Harry Potter was made to teach people about witchcraft. And the Harry Potter website has links to other occult and witchcraft websites which in turn have links to more of those. And this a book thats ok to read.
Emphasis mine. First off... Rowling never has said that. Secondly, just because kids don`t usually use their imagination and read books, doesn`t mean it`s evil. WTF is this "fantasy and 85% of adults can`t figure it out" BS? Harry Potter teaches people jack shit about actual spell casting and the like. Does the Harry Potter website have links to the occult? I doubt it... probably referring to a fan-page, of which has no relevence. And that last sentence... is she changing her mind or something? Ugh.

bad, this book is worshiping the devil I have watched a show on how bad it is I really agree with it they talk about how good wizards are and wizards are male witches so they say how good they are

I think abortion is totally wrong however u look at it. Even before the baby is born or even thought of God has a plan for it. Sometimes it's the only way out but that doesn't make it right at all.
So, if God has a plan for the baby, wouldn`t he make the parents decide not to have an abortion? :roll: I can see it now, God saying "Oh shit, that baby was supposed to bring about world peace. Oh well."

I am completely shocked that they actually let this post go through:
I have no all powerful sky pixie on which to appeal to. I don't simply shrug everything off onto him. It means that I form my own moral guidelines to follow, based on MY experiences, and what I believe to be right, not what some 2000 year old book tells me.
The guy calls God a sky pixie. He says he forms his own moral guidelines and says he doesn't follow the bible. And they actually ok'ed the post?! I am shocked. Their thought police are getting sloppy if they miss this...
Rather surprised I got that one through myself. However they didn't let my response of "I lost my virginity, but still have the box it came in" in the "Virgin Pride" thread go through. :)

And on a different note... *turns and drops pants in anticipation of the nOOb spanking*

I can not debate at GP4Teens. It's like the whole damn board suffers from a "silver bullet" mentality. With only one post, these kids think they can disprove evolution and convert every atheist who happens to read it.

Not only that, they can have 50+ threads for each subject. And they all say the same thing: "Evoulution wrong. Creation right."

The entire board is one big circle wank.....

After reading a post that went something like "If we came from monkeys, then who created the monkeys????" I ran from the place, gibbering in horror.

That, and I'm old enough to be their daddy.
