I wouldn't expect sex but I would just let it happen if it ever does. :roll:

I meant as opposed to waiting 5 years for marriage, when she doesn't believe in premarital sex--like my second girlfriend.

Come to think of it, I think she may have been an extreme Christian.

I try not to require that when/if I meet someone, but I have to admit it would drive me crazy. :(

I'll leave at that since this isn't the topic. :roll:

And the local (Wichita Falls, TX/Lawton, OK) NBC affiliate shows the 700 Club during the 11:00am-12:00pm time slot. I have never heard of that being done. I am old enough to remember when Super Password occupied that time slot.

Since Days of Our Lives is the only remaining soap on NBC (I think it airs at 1:00pm Central time), local affiliates choose their own programming during the 11:00am-noon slot--usually, it's two infomercials. At noon, it's usually the local news, and another infomercial at 12:30pm.

You know what makes me cringe more than extreme Christian? TELEVANGELISTS!! ! I see this bastard late at night trying to drain all of your money from you so that he can buy all of his stuff. He currently is making over $500, 000 dollars a year from donations.

Check out this Wikipedia link ------> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Popoff

If someone here kills Peter Popoff, I will be a much happier man.

Just reading the page on him on Wikipedia makes me boil up inside.

I want to ban all non-Lutheran and non-Episcopalian Christian denominations.

There is a room 1. For each room n there exists a room n+1 next door down the hall.
If a is next door down the hall from room n , and a is next door down the hall from room m also, then room m is actually room n.
Room 1 is up the hall from all other rooms.

If the person in room n coming out to party in the hallway causes the person in room n+1 to come out and party with them, and the person in room 1 comes out to throw a party in the hallway: then everyone comes out into the hallway to party.


Those rooms are not numbered! You can't label a room with a nebulous 'n' or 'm' and expect it to be numbered as any numbered item must have a label that is a real number not included in the transfinites. Any item that is numbered is finite, basically. Economics, my friend.

Let me explain this further. A catalogue is written of all the rooms - a catalogue must exist for any inventory of items for those who sell, elsewise it is untenable for God and St. Paul to manage. If the rooms are not numbered, there is no problem. But the rooms are numbered, meaning that the items are labeled and are part of the catalogue. If there is an infinite number, how is the infinite size of the room able to accommodate the infinite size of the label and the person within it?

If the hall exists, the label of the infinite room is z. The size of the body, k itself must be fit into it. The size of the room must be z + k, but it was assumed that the infinite room z has the highest number, but the size of z + k is greater than it, unless we swing back down to negative infinites. We must also assume that the label has real size, that each number is meant to be legible. If the label is not legible, the room is not numbered.

Even though I'm a Christian (Catholic to be exact), I'm appalled at some of the lengths extremists go to, because all they're doing is driving people further away from God by being too aggressive. Unfortunately, one of my sisters and her husband are like this. I can only hope and pray they'll learn to relax in the future.

well, I'm probably going to get beat up for this, but I'm a devout Christian.

I know more about Natural Selection than anyone I know, and I've read "the origin of species" more than a few times. My faith is based on scientific evidence and faith. I think that Christian morals are what I should live by, and I do. I don't try to force my ideals on anyone, but I really don't like it when people put down my system of beliefs. If you say that I'm ignorant for what I believe in, then you're probably mistaken, as my I.Q. is almost guaranteed to be forty points above yours. So I know I've probably successfully vilified myself in your eyes, but that's what I believe in, and I don't care if you all hate me now.

sorry if I've offended anyone.
have a pleasant day.

having a faith is not a bad thing, the thing that angers people are the religious zealots who have a holier than thou complex going on and need to force their religion on you.

And the extremists basically want to overthrow the U.S. government and install a Christian version of the Taliban.

The Rev. John Hagee, an evangelical pastor based in San Antonio, said in one of his sermons...

"If you live your life and don't confess your sins to God Almighty through the authority of Christ and His blood, I'm going to say this very plainly, you're going straight to hell with a nonstop ticket."

Gov. Rick Perry was at that particular sermon, which was just weeks before the 2006 gubernatorial election. Perry was in total agreement with Hagee.

One of the other gubernatorial candidates, Kinky Friedman, said "He doesn't think much differently from the Taliban."

Those are the ones that scare me. Mainline Protestants (Lutheran, Episcopalian, Methodist, etc.) are wonderful, brilliant people, as are Catholics and Orthodox Christians. People of other religions are also brilliant.
