Re: Aethiest\'s great contribution to Wwstern Society. [ QUOTE ] For the atheists out there, what do you believe? [/ QUOTE ] I had a guy the other day email me from the church I used to go and he was "concerned" because I hadn't been there in awhile. He said he'd pray for me and made it sound like I was the one that was troubled. I guess he has his divorce taken care of now and wants to help others. And this is what i said: Hello "John", I hope all is well for you and Carol too. What I have to say is in a friendly manner, so please don't take this the wrong way. I never grew up in a church-going environment. Only a few years ago did I start going to church and try to be what I thought the proper family man should do. (an influence by society) I kept doubting my feelings and tried to convert to be the good Christian. After a couple years of that in church, the preacher always telling people how they should be, and some frustration, I couldn't be what I wasn't. After trying to learn the bible, it was evident that there was many things that did not pass my logic test. I came to terms with myself and now I trust in who I am. And I am now at peace with myself. The environment we grow up in plays a strong force in who we develop to be. There is exceptions in all cases of course. But I do believe there is a God. With my limited knowledge, I don't understand it all. "I just know". But I feel the bible was written by man, for man, that also had limited knowledge. I use the analogy that if an aircraft flew over their heads 2,000 years ago, I couldn't imagine what would have been written. But we, as of today, fully understand the concept and write it off as normal. And I will not blindly follow a book just because "that's what it says." God gaves us a brain to think, not follow like lemmings. Why doesn't he stop by and say Hey? The bible states many things that man can do to be a good person. Going to church is also a good thing to do. But the fellowship, networking, and teamwork is a by-product of people coming together, not a ticket to heaven. I also believe that this great earth IS heaven. But humans can't see the forest for the trees. Most are wrapped up in concrete and know nothing about the woods. Look at nature and you will find the answers. We are alive and we die. It's that simple. That is why 99% of humans subconsciencly and automatically marry and reproduce. We strive to have babies to carry on just like in nature. We (and the whole ecosystem) were put here to live on Earth. But the problem with humans is, we "humanize" things so much that we loose sight on what is real. And we deny the fact that we pass on and go into the soil. Again, look at nature. I truely believe most people are so-called Christians to be socially-accepted (humanizing). I find it really odd that this Earth has billions of people. But one religion says that if they don't follow the same belief's, all other religions are wrong. Again, this is where our environment growing up plays a big part in our development and belief's. Also, there is so many different religions and belief's, I don't think God is sitting on a throne trying to persuade billions to convert to just one thought. I'll quit babbling for now, but what also struck me as odd during church and Sunday school was the number of people that requested a prayer when the chips were down. Why? If they truely trusted the lord, why question him and his decision? And my last comment is: "we love to smile and say hi when it's convenient (forced eye-to-eye). But when backs are turned, many walk by quietly even though our voices and hearing are good." It's just the honest truth we don't want to say.................I don't feel I'm the one who needs someone to talk to. But thanks. Take care, Dan //end// Now I don't know what religion you call that and I don't really care. I feel something is higher than we are, but what or who, I don't know. Alot of people are either for religion or for evolution. I kind of think there is a middle ground. If you observe nature, you'll see changes animals have made to adapt. It doesn't matter. I won't expect anyone to move to my side and I sure won't try and persuade either. You state your side, I will mine and then be done without prejudice.

Re: Pasin\' it on....great deal on GT arrows [ QUOTE ] How much of a noticable difference will there be between a .001 and .003 straightness tolerance? I am thinking unless you are a pro you probably won't ever notice a difference. [/ QUOTE ] The arrows on e-bay are .006 tolerance I'm assuming because it didn't say "XT" in front. They are the "hunters". XT's are rated at .003. Either way, it's a good price.

Re: Earnahrdt & Harvick cars Yep, thanks for the pics...........................

Re: Aethiest\'s great contribution to Wwstern Society. [ QUOTE ] So then, I'll ask again. What has any athiest or athiest organization (if there is one) done for society? [/ QUOTE ] i guess you didn't read my first post.

Re: Vermont Bans Harvest of Spike Bucks This seems like a deer hunting topic to me. Just about any hunting regulation stems from politics and lobbying. But that's just me........

Re: Aethiest\'s great contribution to Wwstern Socie Both of y'all should try google.com and do a few quick searches. But I'm with Racksie on this.

I use to have one made out of layers of carpet. But chicken wire wrapped around two posts (with a plywood floor) works good when filled with rags. Throw a sheet of cardboard and maybe some foam on the target face with a dot to aim at.

Re: THANKS !!! Mr. Stewart [ QUOTE ] Some of you take this way to seriously...lol. By the way...This is funny...lol.. [/ QUOTE ]

Re: Its on...its ON! Sardines. But man I'd hate to waste them on a coon! Now pass me the crackers.........

Re: THANKS !!! Mr. Stewart [ QUOTE ] OMG!!! That picture is priceless.....LMAO!!!! [/ QUOTE ] You can thank nascar.com for that. It was on the webpage today! Just for the record, I ain't a JG, JJ, or Jr fan.

Re: THANKS !!! Mr. Stewart Whaaaaaaa!

Re: Race back to the yellow ? [ QUOTE ] We must have a lot of young race fans, replying to this thread, because we always raced backed to the yellow from day 1 and that goes back to 1950's when they didnt even wear helmets racing. This new rule seemed to take effect when Nascar started to go down hill with the new TV package. [/ QUOTE ] No, I've been watching for over 20 years. It's common sense over "the way we've done it for years" when I see a driver disabled in the middle of the track (like DJ awhile back and many others), it makes no sense to keep on the gas with 4-500 miles of racing. So you say we should never get safer and take off the helmets? duh

Re: JUDGE NOT LEST YEA BE JUDGED ???? These type of discussions are funny. Every persons religious beliefs is right and all others are wrong. Enjoy it while you can. Everyone's days are limited. You are in heaven now. If you think not, you can't see the forest for the trees. Don't try to humanize it.

Re: Race back to the yellow ? The only lucky dog should be the one in front of the leader when the yellow drops. Not the one behind.

Re: Race back to the yellow ? Keep the caution rule, but throw away the lucky dog.

Re: Danica Patrick oops, sue me!

Re: Danica Patrick [ QUOTE ] Glad she did well, congrats to her! But, the post race coverage was BS. Why was 90% of the post race coverage about her 4th place finish and not Wheldon's win? That is the 2nd biggest race in the world (behind Daytona ) and the 4th place finisher gets almost all the attention. I'm glad she did well, but geez. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe because the winner ran out of gas and it took forever to have one guy push him around the track!

Re: It\'s Gonna Be a Quiet Day at DEI! Now what was the golden boy saying about JJ a week or two ago?

Re: releasing Is your draw length correct? If you are overdrawn and overextended, that can make the bow arm move differently.

Re: Where\'s Condi\'s Man???? [ QUOTE ] Maybe, just maybe, she is focused on her career and has decided not to have any obsticalse in her life like a relationship. [/ QUOTE ] Well said. With her schedule, she wouldn't have the time!
