i HATE when i someone brings it up when i've been drinking too much. b/c i can't defend my beliefs because i'm too drunk. and i try to get them to stop talking about it but they won't. it's not fair.

that's when you talk about how troy smith got a raw deal in the draft. in columbus, that will defuse any political and/or religious debate ever

i never talked politics drunk surprisingly. once or twice i guess, and i was pretty lucid, but the people arguing were worse off so it was easy. i mostly just did party tricks or talked about how i i thought we should all follow one of the 11th or 12th commandments: thou shalt next play beer pong and though shalt always do bong rips after the 10th beer.

yeah, but come on... trying to devaluate this story by comparing it to you walking down a trodden mountain trail doesn't mean anything.

Hey... I'm just saying... gimme a good pair of hiking boots and a pair of Levis over a robe and sandals when scaling the side of a mountain to retrieve 123.8 stone tablets... anyday.

you say this like it's only politics and/or religion. dont argue with women ever. no man has won an argument with a woman in the history of sex. you simply cannot reason with the irrational. and even if you THINK you won, just want... the next 2 weeks of your life will make you wish you'd surrendered after the first word.

be wary men! this is why you only talk about how slutty other girls look compared to how pretty she is, or sports. she wont care about the latter but she'll listen and be reassured that you're a manly man.

I know you're trying to be cheeky funny, but that could be construed as an insult to women in as that they are unable to admit to when they are wrong in an argument. A good person of either sex will admit when they are outmatched with fact.

i never heard the rock star one. What band was he in?

he wont say. nor will he say where he went to law school. nor will he say what happened in his medical accident. nor will he... you get the gist. you remember that kid in junior high who ALWAYS had a cooler story than you that everyone knew was bullshit? sometimes, he doesn't grow outta that.

then good women are hard to find, becos i've yet to meet a woman who will ever admit to being wrong about anything. if she does, it's by implying that i was wrong in what i thought i said which is why she was wrong. it's an amazing gift to witness really.

and yes, im trying to be cheeky funny, but im also right. it's not an insult to women, it's just the way they operate and im trying to teach these poor guys to not try to fight it.

im reasonably certain they dont exist. onelongsong is the biggest imaginary shit talker on here. he's made more wild, unsubstantiated claims than anyone i know round here. he's a former rock star, medical miracle, milita man, has killed 2 people, a practicing attorney who has never been beaten, a buffalo rancher, and now, apparently, the sole keeper of 619 commandments wired directly to him by god.

new motion: atheists and christians be damned. we should all be worshipping onelongsong, cos he CLEARLY is god's gift to this message board! a regular renaissance man.

it's alright if you're not smart enough to do more than one thing at a time. or if you don't have the intelligence to follow a line of progression; ie; someone having an aneurysm and having to change occupations. but i forgive the ignorant. i know it's not your fault. i will try to talk in a grade school mode so you can follow.

true. but i can't talk football either. but if i just smile and nod i don't think any guy would mind running his mouth about smith for a good 10 minutes.

The bible may be a fact of your life, but it is not a fact of my life. There's the difference. It has nothing to do with human ignorance.

if you want her to feel deadly wrong then all you have to say is, "sure sweety. you're always right." then tell her, "now, go make me a sandwich." then give her a kiss on the cheek.

You're right... people who are nice to other people shouldn't do it looking for a reward in their afterlife... they do it just because it is the nice thing to do. And that character trait has nothing to do with God. Just like Charity... you shouldn't do it for tax write off or to expect something in return... you should just give because someone else needs it more than you do.
I'm not looking for the a ticket to heaven... I'm looking for the truth. Something else I know I will never find. Still, it keeps be busy and I find all sorts of interesting things along the way.
As for the paths towards God... I just think that just because a person believes in a different faith... and wants to find God... no one religion has the answer. Christianity doesn't corner the market on God's love... and neither do any of the other religions. I believe God loves us, no matter which text we go by... or don't go by at all. I think all He wants is for us to be good to each other. That's all.

You will find truths Cosmo. Just as you will find lies. All things are in a state of motion yes? So your truth today may not be your truth tomorrow. I think always seeking answers is an excellent way to be in the world. As well as continually asking questions. It's the journey that's important, not the destination.

And for whatever reason, God or just because it's human nature, I think being good to each other, giving and receiving love, having faith in goodness, always seeking peaceful co existence, being respectful and kind, all of these things are what humans need to attain and should aspire to in their lives to a greater or lesser degree.
