I did not take bible study as a child.
I did not believe in Jesus Christ until I was 34 years old.
In the early days after I first believed in Jesus Christ,
Without having read the holy bible, I quoted scriptures that I had never read.
I quoted scriptures I had never read because a spirit spoke them to me. Or there's a chance that you had read them and forgotten, memory can be a strange thing.
I was surrounded by angels, all in white, with wings.
They did not move at all, but went everywhere with me.
Every which way I turned, the angels were there like stones, immovable.
Vast power seemed to come from them.
So much power that i was terrified.
Okay, now you've gone from religious to just insane. I challenge you to show a difference. Touché... |

I reported you to the moderator again vod, asking them to prevent you from posting in this thread. I think you are sick in the head.
Lol, the guy that believes we were all created by some guy in the sky that's always watching us is calling people sick in the head. |

Yes, I do. My faith is something I struggle with daily, however.
Were you forced to go to church as a child? If so, your struggle is probably your intelligence fighting against your brainwashing. Good luck in your struggle! Religion, church, and a bible class 5 days a week for 11 years was something I grew up with, yes. My belief system has changed drastically since then. Today, my belief system closely resembles that of a Deist. I don't feel that belief in a higher power and belief in the theory of evolution are mutually exclusive ideas. I don't think the Bible was meant to be taken literally. I'm 24 now, but from K-10th grade I was in what I can only describe as a neo-conservative Christian school. I received an excellent education there but could not tolerate their interpretation of the Bible. They took the Bible literally to the extent of believing the world was literally created in seven, 24-hour days. They taught that the earth was 5,000 years old among many other ridiculous "facts". Fundamental to this dogma was the teaching that there was an imminent apocalypse predicted by the book of Revelation where non-believers would be slaughtered and sent to hell for all eternity. For much of my young life, I was inundated with all manner of scare tactics involving hell and was told to believe there was only one way to heaven. I was taught to believe other religions were an abomination. I prayed out of fear of going to hell. At 13 or 14 years old, I'd had enough and began to wake up, using basic scientific theory and logic to question and systematically reject these teachings. After experiencing life at a public high school and a large university, I came to reject the idea of God or a higher power altogether for quite a while. I came to believe that morals and values were irrelevant. I was even more depressed than usual and felt that my life had no purpose or meaning. This right here is the harm in religion. We teach children beliefs that have no evidence whatsoever while they are very impressionable, and it makes it harder for them to figure out the truth of the world (If they ever do). Heck, if everybody was religious, we'd probably just pray to god to cure someone's cancer instead of using all the advanced medical treatments that science has come up with. This is one of the many reasons America has fallen behind, the fact that we're one of the most religious countries is hindering us big-time. Not to say there's not a lot of other reasons, but it's up there.. |

Looks like a good one, think I might read that one next  |

Uh oh - he started posting in bold to drown out the non-believers.  When you have no more valid points to make, bolding is always the way to go. Either that or caps-lock us to death |

Anyone else like the book of John? (its been one of my favorites ever since I read it)
I like the book "Go Boy" by Roger Caron. It's actually based on reality. What other books do normal people like? The God Delusion was a good one, think some of the people in this thread need to read it.. |

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.
In the beginning was the word! The word was in the beginning.
The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The Word.
The Word Of God.
The Living Word Of God.
Quoting The Bible to prove Christianity is like proving magic exists by quoting Harry Potter. |

You'll still evolve to be jesus, god. Vod, your perception wants to think I contradicted myself, when I in fact didn't.  Using Jesus is the same as finding the answers within, for Jesus is you. In terms of this thread, "jesus" is a leader in the christian cult. Are you saying I am a cult leader, or evolving to be one? Should everyone be following my teachings? They are simple - abandon your imaginary gods and simply be good to one another. That goes for ALL cults, everywhere. Maybe Vod should practice what he preaches, and stop calling people 'nut jobs'..... Ok, give me another word to convey someone who has lost touch with reality... We should call them Danks, he's so nuts he deserves to be a word  |

If everyone followed the teachings of Jesus and became jesus, we would have world peace, we would have heaven. The failure to do so rests in the hands of man, not religion or god.
Everyone should follow their own religion, their own sense of morals and spirituality.
Except that you did, nut job. 70 mins apart too - your memory must be hurting from all the damage to your brain. If everyone did what Jesus did, loved unconditionally, is not the same as branding to a specific religion. If everyone followed their own consciousness for the answers, we would all become jesus, because we all are one being. If you can't understand the words of someone who gives the answer, perhaps you should look within for it. In that case, how about we cut out the Jesus part and just treat each other with respect and decency? Don't need religion to be a good person. |

i've done an exchange/meetup already.. now i want to try the cash deposit route, i would need to provide the seller with:
full name
address
?
Cash deposits don't require any info, you literally just walk into a bank and deposit the cash into their bank account. Don't need an ID or anything, only thing you might need to provide is a scan of the receipt to prove that you made it yourself. |

There are plenty of coin mixing services out there, where they will give you 'clean' coins in exchange for ones you send, minus a 1% fee or so. Even without those, after a few transactions it gets hard to track specific Bitcoins manually, much less an automated system to do it.

Really wish I could believe they're encrypting their stuff, but without any proof it's just another thing they're saying to avoid controversy. Even if they did, for all we know they could be giving the NSA their keys. A big company like Google isn't going to go up against the government, they don't care about us, they care about the dollars in their pocket.

I'm sure that's pretty much the exact same thing other religions are saying about their gods. If everybody would respect one another and treat them like decent human beings, then we would have world peace. Almost all wars have something to do with religion, and saying that everybody following your's would fix things is the exact kind of thinking that got us into those messes. |

As I've said many times, escrow means nothing with Paypal as they can chargeback 180 days after the payment. Go on Localbitcoins.com and see if you can find a cash deposit that will do it for that small of an amount, or just buy something to trade (Like a gift card).

Awesome ad, not awesome price. This thing will make about a dollar a day at current difficulty, and with how hard it's skyrocketing, you'll be lucky to make $30 out of the lifetime of it.
