Yea that's a bad call, but they have $2.26 Trillion in assets, $90 Billion in revenue, and $19 Billion in net income. I think they can absorb the loss.

But if they don't get that $30 overdraft fee, they'll have to close up shop and head out Californy-way...

Local, sustainable, nutritious... and most people think it's gross. I don't know why the hipsters haven't jumped all over this one.

The definition of person as it applies to God is that of an individual personality, or rational being. I explained it a bit in the last post..

Oh yeah, that was just a long-winded joke about how the holy trinity is the perfect medium for rock/paper/scissors. I always forget that Hamlet said, "brevity is the soul of wit."

It's not three different Gods..it's three persons, one God. There is only one God, and that
God is three persons. How can God be three persons at the same time? Perhaps because He is
hyper-dimensional, although I don't think that would be an adequate description in reality. I think though that the concept itself illuminates the potential differences between His existence and ours.

Jesus and the Father are not the same person. The Father is not the Son and the Son is not the Father, but they are both God. God is three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Wait, so it's a grammatical thing? How did god use improper grammar in the bible?

You could think of it like water..it can be liquid, ice and vapor..but it is still water. That is analogous to the Holy Trinity.

Even in three different states, the same water molecules can't exist in different states at the same time. That's an analogy though. I want to know the true answer. Either it's bad grammar, or how can god be three different things at the same time, when other things can't? What about only worshiping the one true god, when this one is three separate god beings? Why isn't that hypocritical?



Do you mean "persons" like "people?" Of not, what is your definition of a person? If so, if they are people, then it/they/he must sin right? But if so, do they just punish each other for their sins? And if so, do they use paper/rock/scissors? Because I would think that's the most effective way of doing things.

Shiny, why do you post stuff?

I suspect he's been raised or taught by an almost old-fashioned zealot type...


If you believe Shiny, he says he's a self-created "born again." But either way you're right: at least one of his Fathers is an old fashioned type.

I'm not defending the mormon church, I am just commenting that the level of discourse in society is at an all time low, that this is socially acceptable. Obviously it isn't a winning issue with videosift, but I think that its wrong to treat people this way.
>> ^UsesProzac


I'm not sure that the level of discourse has changed, so much as Christianity has become an acceptable target again. Parker and Stone actually treat the Mormon church with an unprecedented level of respect considering all the things that South Park has parodied, as evidenced by the "All About Mormons" episode. They present the religion as weird, but in the end, the people of South Park are shown to be a million times stranger and the Mormons decide the best course of action is to leave all the idiots to themselves.

One thing I've been wondering about for a while:

Cigarettes, while entirely loaded with chemicals, have about twenty grams of material per pack (of twenty cigarettes) that actually burns and is released to the atmosphere. Now picture a gallon of gas (sorry rest of the world, I'm American). That gallon of gas weighs about six pounds, or about two-thousand seven-hundred cigarettes. That's material that completely burns into the atmosphere or is filtered somehow by the car but still exists as waste. And don't forget, there are trace elements of everything in there, either burned as gas or taken out (still pollution) during the refining process.

I'd really like to see a comparison of the total harmful products of cigarettes versus gasoline that are produced every day, worldwide. I'm willing to bet that the difference is astronomical.

Now, I'm a smoker. I have no problem smoking outdoors and even then, if someone simply asks me to put out my cigarette, I'll do it. I understand that the burning of fuel, on some level, is a necessity but it seems to me that if the above assumption (and it's a big assumption, I know) is correct at all, that the only real reason anyone could have to avoid second hand smoke is that it stinks. I just can't picture it being as threatening as the world would have me believe, in comparison to all that other shit that's floating around everywhere, all the time that really isn't given much attention because it doesn't smell bad.

EDIT: Sorry, I just realized this has almost nothing to do with the video at all.

He's forgetting dietary rule #247: Some people are completely biologically dependent on being a pain in the ass. It doesn't matter what they're cutting from their diet: gluten, dairy, carbs or marshmallows. I believe that if you were able to genetically isolate these people and provide them with a situation where they could remain a constant pain in the ass to someone, they could survive purely on principle, needing no supplemental nutrition at all.

"I reserve the right to believe in the possibility of God." -Nick Cave

What kind of God do you think is possible?

Good question Shiny. I don't think anything is necessarily impossible, because I don't claim to understand everything. But that's exactly the point, "I reserve the right to think for myself."
Again though, this is just a quote. I can't defend the position of someone else.

Ahh, I understand. I was just wondering what you thought is possible. Clearly, you think the existence of God is unlikely?


The more I think about it, the more I realize that my brain just simply has no concept of eternity.

That's not homophobia, it's just sheer insanity.
