:lol: If it isn't it should be in the dictionary!

Catholic is spelled different from Christian because they believe different things. Catholics must earn their way into Gods grace. They have purgatory and a few other things Christians don't have. Your post is a much more dramatic version of the question "Do all people born before Jesus go to Hell"? Or "What of cavemen? Are they all doomed"? I think the answer is in Romans 4:15 "because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression." I take this to mean that if you have never heard the word of God because you are too young or lived before there was a bible you get a free pass. Romans 5:13 "To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law." Also seems to answer the caveman question. And yes, I am quoting out of context to illustrate the point that the Bible seems to say differently than the Catholic church does.

#1) Christianity does not have the sub-set of beliefs or rituals that the other ones do have. Which is why they broke away from the main doctrine and now have their own individual names or denominations. A number of them believe you have to earn your way to Gods grace by your actions. Christianity does not believe that your actions alone will earn you God's favor. #2) You are mostly correct, I read it too fast and missed a point or two. A little dramatic but you have the basic idea. After thinking about this for a bit I am inclined to say you don't have to join anything to be saved, just believe. Of course someone will want you to join their group but you don't have to. Not joining does not mean God will forsake you. Pretty sure on this. This is from Luke it appears 14:26 and you have quoted it out of context so the meaning is hard to understand. Yes, these very words are in the Bible. But in the context of the rest of the passages it seems to me to be a challenge to the crowd following him. A reminder that they had wives and children to care for. Would they claim they did hate everyone? If they did, do you think Jesus would have accepted them? It is part of a section in Luke that has many parables meant to convey an idea with the telling of a story. Quoting a line or two from one of them isn't the best way to understand the parable.

Um, no. It's not anything like you said. Try reading it again, slowly instead of trying to find a rebuttal as your reading it. How can it be "exactly" when in fact that is the very difference I am pointing out?

Not at all true. Christianity believes you are "saved" by faith not by your "works" (being a good person etc.) And please don't fall into the trap of thinking Catholics, Protestants, Lutherans, Baptists etc are Christians. They spell them differently for a reason. Cults on the other hand always try to "earn" their acceptance to God with their "works". In Christianity there are no "good people" in Heaven, only forgiven ones. Yes, by this logic Hitler could have made it to Heaven even after killing all the Jews. Don't think he did, but he could have. Your perception of Religion is pretty common. I have to admit that most "Religions" fall right into your cross hairs. As you well know bundling them all together is a sure fire way to stir things up. But then again, thats what your trying to do isn't it?

Also interesting when science backs up the bible. Keep in mind that the bible is not, nor does it try to be the answer for everything. Rather it offers only the offer of forgiveness, for free. Past present and future. no more, no less.

GPS, digital audio, and hands-free phone systems have become common in cars, but motorcycles have largely been left behind. Now, Skully integrates these features and more in a new motorcycle helmet. Using GPS on a motorcycle usually involves looking down at a portable navigation device on the handlebars, but Skully Helmets wants to update that experience. The company developed the Skully P1 motorcycle helmet, which gives riders a heads-up display and integrates not only GPS, but a rear-view camera, hands-free phone system, and voice command. According to Skully's press materials, the display is not in the rider's primary field of vision, and appears as if it were floating 6 meters ahead. The helmet runs a modified version of the Android operating system, which comes loaded with navigation and Bluetooth connectivity. With the helmet paired to a smartphone through Bluetooth, the rider can use voice command to make phone calls and start music playback. The heads-up display can also show the image from an integrated rear-view camera. Skully notes that this camera has a 180 degree field of vision, so the rider can also see when it is safe to change lanes. Skully will show off the P1 helmet this week at the Demo 2013 conference in Santa Clara, Calif. The company did not say when the helmet would become available, or list a retail price. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13746_7-57607680-48/skully-demonstrates-gps-rear-view-camera-in-motorcycle-helmet/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=title

We have a winner!

Government propaganda campaign by the Romans before the invention of tin foil hats? I think I've found a flaw.

Anybody wondering at the Obamacare + Immigration legal issue? Thinking it through it seems that they are both related pieces of legislation. Big picture kinda thinking but none the less. Do you see a connection?

I can't imagine all the intricate machining that goes into one of these mini motors. Figuring out the timing for the cam shaft for instance. Let alone machining it in the first place. The v-12 video gives some indication of just how much work is involved, but not the large amount of math that went into it. How exactly do you go about figuring out the timing on a motor that exists only in you imagination? Amazing, just amazing.

This guy has MAD SKILLZ! Built a working V-8 motor to scale. Amazing! He must have quite the garage! Talk about a cool "Fab" project.

Dig the "naked" look! Nice!

Next week is supposed to be nice. (rain today, rain tomorrow, sigh...)

Artic silver is pretty good, pricy but good. On the other hand I have used regular stuff for years on high heat circuits without troubles. Remember to use a thin film of it, do not use to much as that is worse than none at all. It's supposed to fill the gaps between the devices for 100% surface contact, not to insulate the heat sink from the device. Getting better airflow to the heat sink also sounds like a winning strategy. Good luck!

Pretty awesome! His gait looked very natural. Wonder if he can ride again and get the foot controls, foot down at a light and other things together.

Revealed: FIVE off-duty NYPD officers were among the bikers involved in SUV attack but not one of them intervened to help father as he was viciously beaten in revenge for running one of them over Injured biker Edwin Mieses Jr now faces permanent paralysisTwo detectives and three other officers, all off-duty, witnessed the attack A number of off-duty corrections officers may also have been presentThe attacker is expected to turn himself in soonRead more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2445011/5-duty-NYPD-officers-bikers-involved-Edwin-Mieses-Jr-SUV-attack.html#ixzz2gr6xOsPS (Funny getting the news from the Brits) Hmmm, seems like there was a little more to this than first reported, at least for the "ride" part. Undercover cops? I have to wonder how exactly the Range Rover got the attention of the riders. They are clearly shown to be ignoring other vehicles. Wonder what this guy did to attract their attention in the first place? I have seen cagers do stupid things to riders in groups which caused them to suddenly find a lot of bikes around them. Never seen things get this out of hand though, still have to wonder though. Not promoting either side of this but rather pointing out there has to be more to this story that we have all heard so far. The Lawyers and the Politicians are running center stage on this now so we may never hear an un-biased report of what really happened. Strange days are upon us.

The interwebs. Fleabay and the like Bike is 30 years old so not much choice on the where. Local shops just don't have things in stock for such an old bike. The wait isn't bad, so far no problems.

Well said

She wouldn't make me a sammich so I sent her back.
