It might depend on whether you consider Booz Allen to be the type of company that would take action based on political motivations, and whether you agree with those motivations.

Then again, their having one ASIC miner is far less serious than the consequences of their shear purchasing power.

Likewise, thanks guys, it's been real (so to speak). Doubtful whether anyone has been significantly moved in the course of it, but at least it's interesting to see how such intricate worldviews intersect.

While I have the deepest respect for each of you, you have my story, my defense of my personal knowledge of the Messiah, and my words of warning. and of hope.  My inbox is open if there's anything else you'd like to discuss.. 

It's House of Submission, or House of War. Also the only way a muslim is guaranteed paradise is either to die a martyr spilling the blood of the enemy (thus martyr means murderer), to be one of the 70 or so folks that a martyr might be allowed intercede for, or to give in support of jihad, which is said to be of equal reward. Is it any wonder that Europeans are now being randomly butchered alive on their own streets? For one thing, as much as we might owe multiculturalism to Islam, we must also recognize how many of them see it, as an opportunity to take advantage of the filthy kafir, weaken them, and overcome them.

Of course, to most muslims, these are extremist cases, those crazy ones that actually consider doing what the quran and the mullahs suggest,

It's an odd quote, considering how early tribal muslims had no written language, it was Christian slaves (Dhimmis) that were tasked with compiling and writing down the quranic recitations, and had to invent the script known as Arabic in order to do so. Muslims, like some Roman Catholic sects, were reknown for burning whole libraries of books and art. They both owe the world a great debt, as I see it.

Islam is socially perpetuated by paternity and mortal fear. It won't be the last cult system established in that pattern. It has only passing resemblances to Judaism, but is wicked to the core. Islam means submission, and the majority will follow their leaders. They commonly await the 5th Imam, expecting him to lead them to global dominance (the root meaning of mujahed, root word of jihad)

Again, looking at the modern world, have you ever wondered why the most affluential progressives seem to have a common affinity for Islam, only paying lip service to its enemies?

Sigmund's theories on God are no more enlightened than Mao's. The secular cannot find God, and in their ignorance invent rationalizations for every evidence they encounter, no matter how incoherent, justifying even the murder of hundreds of millions in the hopes of ushering in a progressive new era of likeminded humanism without any trace of God. For some reason, it's never failed to backfire. You can thank Sigmund, or you can thank God.

EDIT: The epitome of this dynamic is narrated in Revelations, wherein the ultimate purge occurs, followed by the ultimate blowback, and it's not going to be mistaken for anything Freudian.

Please note the parallel in the prophecy, which was recorded in metaphor, paraphrased here for your understanding: Those whose names are not written in the Lamb's Book of Life WILL worship the beast, a seemingly unstoppable global force/entity. The world powers ( whore of babylon, globalist aquarians by any other name) that "ride" and empower this beast will be "drunk with the blood of the saints." The beast and all who worship it (or receive its mark on their hand or forehead) will be destroyed (tormented even), see Revelations for details. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

I thought it wasn't half bad. Sounds like it would go well to a Laura Storey tune.

I was post #27, received it two days ago. Thanks again. You can send more if you like, then I'll be twice as promotionally enthusiastic 

Huh? Chinese Rolexes are made in the image of legit ones (Not a lesser brand).

We have creative thought, but it is not infinite, not omniscient or even fully comprehensive of its own environment. AFHV proved that to the world.

EDIT: Where I'll concede is that we "were" made in his image, being Spirit (God) and Flesh (Son of Man). With sin our spirit is dead, we cannot have his spirit in us. If you are not born of the spirit, you cannot see God. The good news is exactly that, with faith in the atonement, his spirit is given us as a "seal" of our redemption, and it also works with us on a daily basis, sometimes in the most amazing and extravagant ways.


On the flip side, if you think you are in fact limitless, a little humility might be a good thing. If you think society would do best in a condition of unrestrained pride and reckless striving, I assure you it would be quite unlivable. Even Scientology at it's highest ranks ends with people chanting to themselves that they are the I AM - the very blaspheming pride that brought about sin in the first place. Having talked to a number of people so full of pride that they sincerely believe that they ARE god, the checks and balances of humility are in fact crucial to avoid the snares of ego-feeding control artists (religious or otherwise).

We all understand that growth and learning occur, but overstating one's ability is as destructive as understating it.

I may have said it several times now. If you were in my shoes, you'd be a fool to write off your experiences as fantasy. It'd be like describing the Eiffel Tower as "a bit of metal" or like trying to do a doctoral thesis on quantum mechanics in the style of dr. suess, with a 100 word vocabulary. There's no mistaking the real thing.

If I were in your shoes I'd probably agree with you. However, it turned out that my friend was not only not imaginary, but also faithful with matters well beyond my influence.

Suppose that you had a personal relationship with someone for years, and you learned that you could count on them to keep their promises. Can you imagine how ridiculous it sounds when someone tries to calmly explain to you that you're imagining them? It's rather insulting, actually, what kind of weak-minded fools atheists take us for, but we can't hold a grudge.

Atheists assume that someone is crazy if they honestly think God talks to them. How do they expect to hear from him? He has many ways to communicate, and honestly I've rarely heard a foreign voice in my head. He can speak in answered prayers, in prophecy, in extremely unlikely providences, in His Word, in Spirit, even in visions (which I would NOT assume were from him if they were not sealed and confirmed with prophetic events, which they have been).
In times passed, I've tried on enough world-views that I lost count. I started with the scientific principles of testing and evaluation, curiosity and open-mindedness. I found much more than the secular can possibly explain. I also found that deception is exceedingly common, and truth is rare, fragments of it being abused for the sake of control.

In the end, I wish I'd known that faith in the living Christ is key, leading to an experiential understanding that satisfies the rigorous demands that our mind places on the evaluation of what is real. I serve Christ alone. Nothing else satisfies, it's the blind leading the blind. Forgive me if I seem close-minded.

I have found that a lack of faith in God's character does more to deny one a richer more meaningful life than anything else.

Also, not to play grammar nazi, but for future reference,the correct third-person posessive is "their", not "there." Would hate to see something that unimportant unfairly tarnish your reputation for above average deductive reasoning

I'm irreducibly cismen. I've always said if you're not sure of your gender, take a look. Beyond what you find, you're not going to fool anyone, and what good iwould it be to try? Better to live to the full potential of the role  you're best equipped for.

TIme dilation is adjusted for in satellites, it's a quantifiable phenomenon. So is God's faithfulness, and it can be verified prior to death, if you have the faith to depend on it. Few do, the rest reduce God to an acedemic discussion about the afterlife.

You have to then ask, why did he allow for the possibility of sin? What was the alternative?

Reactionary to say the least.. Do they honestly believe men work to prevent automation because without labor they're unneeded? My work is automation. It's not the flip of a switch fantasy land you've been promised here. My role is being a good father and husband, and I certainly hope you don't think much of that writer's grotesque libel against what makes a father tick. If you do, it's probably because you've been hurt. I get it, and it infuriates me, but that's not me.

You'd probably be right at home in a bee hive.. Just kill off the males when you're done with them.

Take a moment to think about this. The article is a case in point demonstration that "womyn" can be at least as bloodthirsty and diabolical as they accuse men of being.

<begin unpopular opinion>

Men are responsible for the responsibilities they take on. Just like women. There's no excuse for either to flake out.

As a Luciferian friend once tactfully said, "it's not like we're all down here just to **** all over each other."

LOL. Wrong word obviously. Note edit. And come on, you know that just blew somebody's mind.

Your face ain't even bovvered. Nothing bovvers you. That's not a sustainable condition. God loves you too much. He'll be there when you need him

It's impossible to get into discussions of time without dredging up determinism (like the universe is a series of unaided chain reactions).

Athiests are bothered satisfied that they can't see God within those chain reactions.

In order for God to be as revealed in the Bible, time must be such that it is only one of the dimensions involved in "solving" the requirements that he places on reality (Isa 55:11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.)

How could Jesus be present with Moses and Elijah in one distortion of time? Only if the deterministic solution to that conundrum were to define the thousands of years between them. It's that solution which is referred to when it's said something was prepared "from the beginning," as it was done knowing the end also. If we have free will at all, it's in the finer details of our own choices; Our rebellion can do nothing to disrupt his end, but he can work with us or in spite of us. One is better.
