    Ok, you guys really need to read the Bible, because you seem to be interpreting everything literally, and that's not how it's supposed to be read.

    1) Sin was not God's creation. That was our creation.

    2) Cain and Abel was another story that the early Hebrews decided to incorporate into the Creation story. It wasn't originally related.

    3) The snake=the devil=Satan, in some interpretations, although Satan was originally different from the Devil.

    4) Humans had the choice of eating the fruit or obeying God. They chose the former. This choice, which gave them self-awareness, among other things, was not what God intended for them. They could no longer exist in Eden with the knowledge they had. So, God had no choice but to exile them (and again, this story is not meant to be historical or literal).

    Read on. You -might- figure it out.

    Seth was their third child, to replace Abel. Read the Bible before you make that claim.

    That's highly unlikely, considering that the Old Testament actually came from at least 4 sources.

    The majority will never view him as a good president (and I don't think Clinton is viewed as a good president at the moment), only as a very controversial one. That's the best reception he'll get.

    Yeah, she was obviously trying to make light of the situation.

    I apologize to whomever may be offended, but this is humorous in the sense this this kid was practically trying to get caught. Other than that, this is not a joking matter and I'm glad no one was hurt.

    If the other guys won't reiterate, I will: It didn't come from nothing, it was the result of the expansion of a non-dimensional singularity, creating the first matter/energy.

    Quoted for truth and win. Your morals, Fallout, are the creation of your religion and your society. They really should not affect you in the least.

    And as childofturin said, maybe if we stop treating prostitutes like trash, maybe they'll have better lives! Maybe they'll even STOP prostituting! Wouldn't that be just dandy?

    My only gripe is that Roxas looks kinda feminine. Like too feminine. But I like the detail. Nice job.

    Being a prostitute can be a rewarding job, if you manage to get a good manager and stay out of trouble. I mean, I don't know this from experience, but I'm sure you'd find some very happy/esteemed hookers out there.

    Lol, mea culpa.

    On topic, this is really disturbing. I can't condone the murder of innocents.

    Hey now, I have an uncle in Belgium. He's a perfectly nice guy. (He's actually American by birth, but still...)

    Correct, he didn't fly those planes into the Towers, but hey, neither did Saddam. I completely support operations in Afghanistan, but Iraq? No thanks.

    Lol, I know race wasn't part of your original post, but I had to comment on that too.

    And thanks. :)

    1) Nothing wrong with drug dealers. People choose to buy the drugs.

    2)Yes, but they'll be classy drug dealers.

    3) Assassins aren't necessarily trash; if they can make it into an art and/or their targets deserve to die, I would consider them very creative and/or noble.

    4) Go to the Netherlands and tell me prostitution is frowned upon.

    5) White Rook's comment was meant to be an insult. I found it pretty obvious.

    I am Christian. Bunterx is making a valid point about the special privileges given to white Christians and how, in this argument at least, Atheists are getting the short end of the stick. You are denying that this is discrimination against Atheists, when in fact it indirectly is.

    Not to get off topic, but can you please connect Saddam/Iraq to al-Qaeda? (And they really weren't as powerful in Iraq as Bush wanted us to believe).

    I mean, I understand Afghanistan, because we knew that al-Qaeda had a strong presence there, and I wish we'd invade Pakistan (at least part of it), but Iraq? He just wanted a war like his daddy had.

    He put this country into a recession (you can't say it wasn't at least partly his fault), got America into a pointless (yes, it is pointless, we may as well have invaded Russia) war, and he couldn't speak in front of a camera. Basically, he was a moron and I am very glad this country had the neurons to elect an intelligent person.

    Actually, you and Fallout are making fools of yourselves by acting like it's okay to discriminate against atheists. And insulting atheists. So I'm actually pretty disgusted by you.

    Well, yea, I mean, they're both Latter-Day Saint/Mormon traditions that can trace their ideals back to Joseph Smith, so they have some of the same ideas, but the FLDS is much more conservative.

    Favorite Poem

    You guys have any?

    I have to go with "The Waste Land", by T.S. Eliot. Very modern, very abstract, very cool.

    Vuestros favoritos?
