And I’m tired of hearing: “every person should receive the” (whatever: health care, education, income, etc) “that they deserve.” My Dear FSA, you deserve what you earn not what I might earn. My Dear Congressman, you may give away what you have but not what I have unless you pay for it first (Bill of Rights, Article V, US Constitution) (and that taking includes incurring debt in my name). Congressional responsibilities are in The Constitution, Article 1 (not the Communist Manifesto).
A great caption for a greater picture. Special snowflakes are only found on earth. One small planet warmed by an inconsequential star that is not even a grain of sand in a galaxy that is not even one flicker of light in a universe that has no bounds.
I think you are right and in the hierarchy of fuckheads in this world, us Canadians rank, depending on how one looks at it, just above or just below you Yanks!
Baseball starts again tonight. Existential thoughts will once again be suspended for beers and strikes. Baseball is for me a lesson in chance and circumstance. Luck and being in right place at right time counts for much more than faith alone. I can watch game, have a beer, sleep thru a couple of innings and still have enough time to enjoy the final out. Kinda like life! Maybe that is why I like it so much.
Rob probably has a blog where he spreads his special snowflakes gospel and declaims the realists who engineered since time immemorial the oppression of said snowflakes.
I will have to consider a blog when I enter free agency but for now I am under contract to scrawl my scribble here on TPB. I’ll likely stay put. Why play for OKC when you can soar with the Warriors…

Thankfully, the Living God, Jehovah of Armies, does have a plan. His plan will come to fruition. Almighty God does as He will to those who deny His sovereignty.
“Search for Jehovah, you people, while He may be found. Call to Him while He proves to be near. Let the wicked leave his way, and the harmful man his thoughts, and let him return to Jehovah, Who will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for He will forgive in a large way. “For the thoughts of you people are not My thoughts, nor are My ways your ways”, is the utterance of Jehovah. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. For just as the pouring rain descends, and the snow, from the heavens and does not return to that place, unless it actually saturates the earth and makes it produce and sprout, and seed is actually given to the sower and bread to the eater, so My Word that goes forth from My mouth will prove to be. It will not return to Me without results, but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted, and it will have certain success for that which I have sent it.” -Isiah 55:6-11
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. or the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” -Romans 1:16-32
Please try to remain calm and put your faith in Almighty God. Read the Bible as it is the Word of Almighty God. Understand that a lot of people were murdered by early church leaders to keep it from you. Understand that early schools probably only had one book from which to learn to read, the Bible. Understand that willfully choosing to allow anyone to come between you and the Bible is the same as allowing them to come between you and Almighty God. Only Jesus Christ, your king and savior, stands as mediator between you and Almighty God. Pray to the Living God. An accurate accounting is being kept. Christians know they will be persecuted. Do not allow false teachers to lead you to eternal damnation.
Well, per the gantt chart, it would be a weekly schedule, gods timeline being different and all, now all the creating type work was completed on a saturday, with sunday as the rest day, so really, its gotta be late sunday sometime. That being the rest day, and I dont see any creating going on, mountains being raised and whatnot. I would assume creating will start again monday morning, so sometime sunday evening before monday morning alot of destruction needs to happen to make room for more creating.

You might know, a bible thumper puts in the longest and most boring comment……………………………….
You jest. It is a condemnation of the whole world.
But to you it’s simply a bunch of useless bible verses.
Substitute Washington for Israel and it will make better sense.
Desiderata
You are a child of the universe No less than the trees and the stars You have a right to be here
Desiderata
Desiderata, Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste And remember what peace There may be in silence As far as possible without surrender Be on good terms with all persons Speak your truth quietly and clearly And listen to others Even the dull and ignorant They too have their story
Avoid loud and aggressive persons They are vexations to the spirit If you compare yourself with others You may become vain and bitter For always there will be greater And lesser persons than yourself
[Chorus:]
You are a child of the universe No less than the trees and the stars You have a right to be here
And whether or not It is clear to you No doubt the universe Is unfolding as it should Enjoy your achievements As well as your plans Keep interested in your own career However humble, it is a real possession In the changing fortunes of time Exercise caution in your business affairs For the world is full of trickery But let this not blind you To what virtue there is
Many persons strive for high ideals And everywhere life is full of heroism Be yourself Especially do not feign affection Neither be cynical about love For in the face of all aridity And disenchantment It is as perenial as the grass
Take kindly the council of the years Gracefully surrendering the things of youth Nurture strength of spirit to Shield you in sudden misfortune But do not distress yourself With imaginings Many fears are borne of Fatigue and loneliness Beyond a wholesome discipline Be gentle with yourself
[Chorus:]
And whether or not It is clear to you No doubt the universe Is unfolding as it should Therefore, be at peace with God Whatever you conceive him to be And whatever your labors and aspirations In the noisy confusion of life Keep peace with your soul With all it’s sham, drudgery And broken dreams It is still a beautiful world
Be careful, strive to be happy [Chorus:] 5X to fade
Rdawg is correct that God/Universe has an interest in each one of us. True, some are dealt a bad hand while others live in high cotton. It is part of the program so I would say that this comes down to what you do with your life. Goodness returns goodness or you reap what you sow.
The universe will provide information if you so seek. That is the way it works, if your life sucks , you can most likely blame yourself.

Hey bible thumpers how do you reconcile the god of the old testament (violent, grumpy, sex obsessed, jew loving, storm and war god) with the god of the new testament (love and forgiveness)? And don’t lean on the old “faith” bull shitte.
diogenes, your name sounds like; made by god.
You, unfortunately swallowed the secular story that god is a conservative and then Jesus comes to expound on a contradictory liberal gospel. It is none of that. I will try to outdo myself in lowering my normal 3rd grade level writing to a 1st grade level you might understand:
1. Scene: Garden of Eden
2. Crime: Man (Adam) disbelieves God, disobeys His command
3. Justice: Man condemned to death
4. Mercy: Jesus, as prophesied, arrives on the scene. His mission, to redeem the condemned.
5. Crime: the Unchosen (sorry jFish) disbelieve Jesus
6. Final purpose: to separate the wheat from the chaff.
“They” don’t call me that. I call myself that.
It gives me license to say shit El Coyote never could because he would get shamed for it.
However, you can’t shame me for saying stuff you think is retarded.
Oh, sure, I don’t get invited to many parties but, face it, you weren’t going to invite El Coyote either. Unless you wanted him to tend bar. Assholes.

Of course, one must recognize that from this perspective the Constitution, America, the concept of Liberty, hell sentience itself is less than a fart in a hurricane. At least the bible thumpers espouse an idea where SOMETHING does matter.
Anyway, at least this is the real debate: purpose or accident, greater purpose or none, ordered (to some degree) or ENTIRELY random. Einstein put is this way: “Either you must believe everything is a miracle or nothing is a miracle.”
I have yet to see a war vet amputee sprout limbs to replace those that were lost in combat, no matter how hard he implores his God Almighty. Now, THAT would be a miracle worthy of making me reconsider my (dis)beliefs.
Brilliant.
I said this repeatedly on here. Pair it with a picture and suddenly its brilliant. Ye of low standards.
A thousand apologies. I have never read that sentiment expressed by you on TBP before.
Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?

Rob, Rob, Rob. We are God’s special creation made in His image, according the His plan and purpose.
Stop spreading hate-filled lies designed to turn people away from God. We are all special, and God cares about each and every one of us.
Especially in the United States. God really, really loves us more than the other fuckheads on planet Earth.
