Re: Site Loading Incredibly Slow

I wonder if anyone has a grudge against the site or has some reason to want to cause trouble.. hmmm.. I think Hong Kong is controlled by China now, and a DDoS attack could be a crude attempt to censor the site by blocking requests. Of course I'm just guessing, and there's a very narrow possibility ...

The Palestinian Government is not holding the hostages, Hamas is.

Everyone except Israel now wants a ceasefire.
Apparently only Israel wants to free the hostages. :eyeroll:

When 2 novel series have a fight, the real winner is the one holding their covers for them, that is Narnia.

Re: Death Star vs 4 Borg Cubes

A battle between them would resemble a fight between a Spanish Galleon and a a modern oil tanker whose only weapon is the ability to ram. After the first amusing hour the following weeks would get pretty damned tedious. Oil tankers can't take much punishment, so the galleon would likely win in spit...

Re: Can no longer use [url] tag in the forum

I'm not sure when this change happened, but as someone who has been having to ban hammer these spammers I'm pretty supportive of it. The problem with the URL tags is that you can disguise a link as something else - hide it in a punctuation mark for example - and that's always what they do. Wouldn't...

Re: Can no longer use [url] tag in the forum

I assume this was done to prevent bots spamming links? That is my understanding... what little understanding I am able to bring to the table. A lot of things were done to combat the bot invasions. I regret this 'loss,' too. It doesn't even stop them from spamming urls. For example: https://www.webd...

Re: Jesus was a Socialist

Why wouldn't God have also kept the Germans who became Nazis on track if he has this power? What a terrible thing it would be for God to save only "his own" from the fate of becoming genocidal murders - what did the ones who became Nazis do to deserve this punishment? Why weren't all Germans "his o...

Re: Jesus was a Socialist

I truly believe that if all of those people in my world were in a situation like the German citizens in World War 2, a large majority of them would have fallen prey to the same propaganda and participated in or turned a blind eye to the same atrocities that the German citizens did at the time. I th...

Your perpetual failing is your desperate need to have your particular God at the centre of all good things.

Re: Jesus was a Socialist

What do you think it means to put God in all aspects of your life? What does it mean to you that "he shall direct thy paths"? For example: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. -- John 14...

Re: Jesus was a Socialist

The bible seems to be pro slavery as well as there is never mentions of denouncing slavery or even meth usage The purpose of the Bible is to guide us to the eternal life. The guidance it gives is still relevant in various situations, but that doesn't mean that we should try to recreate the world in...

Have you considered socialism? Right, and all live like they do in the glorious sh!t hole countries of Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Haiti, ..... You are clearly a very ignorant little man, as exemplified by those odd examples. Haiti is in a prolonged crisis, but is not a socialist country. The last properl...

You can't do much without the distribution. Apparently it just hides the true amount of fish caught.

Re: War, what is it good for?

You think God is loving, but you think the only way to make people behave is to have them be terrified of him. Of course God has more to offer, even the way of salvation, which leads to the eternal life. However, just the fear of God should make people consider their motives. Why should I consider ...

I want world peace and the end of all wars forever, for what it's worth.
So do I, and I see only one way to it, as there will be wars at least as long as people fear one another more than God.
