How can a perfect being who is bound by his own word because he's always right, be able to change his mind?

Re: Easter 2010: Alleluia, Christ has risen!
My very East Texan English Education advisor informed me that "y'all" is considered the second person singular and "all y'all" is the second person plural.
And, while I do enjoy the more gourmet jelly beans, there's something infinitely satisfying about the $1 bag of Brach's.
And how have we not discussed either of these yet?
I'm not meaning to be degrading to those who celebrate the religious end of the holiday, I'm just trying to provide colorful distraction from the holy war, "my lack of God is better than your God" poo flinging we seem to have started here.

TBA and sour grapes? Naaaaah.
Yup - y'all is singular, all y'all plural. Similar to "you" and "youse".
Cadbury Creme Egg for the win - I definitely need to get one of those tomorrow. Peeps, meh.

ETA: I should have prefaced the "y'all two" a bit. She did say it was an Oklahoman thing.
I'm sure it's a little different in a variety of places. I got the "y'all two" from a woman who was from Oklahoma, her dad was/is the OSU or OU radio announcer for the football team. For some reason she ended up going to school at SCSU and for the life of me I can't figure out why.

Re: Easter 2010: Alleluia, Christ has risen!
Speaking of religion, I am amazed at how many more churches per square mile there are down here in VA compared to the north. Just in downtown Blacksburg (where Virginia Tech is), the house we are building is adjacent to two churches, and down the block from a street called "church street" where there are at least 2-3 more.
Suffice to say I keep my atheism and anti religious remarks to myself while down here.

The difference is pretty amazing. I remember in my three years in the dorm at UMaine, one girl went to church every Sunday. People were kinda befuddled by it. Down here in the South, the first question you get asked is what church you go to.

2000 years ago?! It just doesn't matter, because it is an arcane proposition.
Alternative sorts? Nah, I have no use for gay culture, Lady Gaga, or ghetto rap music. I am a traditionalist, and I am happy with that too. However, I felt as though Foxton was taking liberties and pot shots at religion just to spark things up in this forum.
I have no desire to see or visit a "gay church" which I think you mean Unitarian where everything and every behavior is "OK." Good for them, I am not saying burn it down, but it is not for me nor does it coincide with my personal values or lifestyle. You can keep your Barney Franks, Harvey Milks and Ru Pauls, thank you.

It's a huge part of the social environment in the South and in areas that are not close to large cities across the country. It's a way for people who don't see each other very often because of distance to have a regular social gathering once a week.

the Cadbury caramel creme eggs are good.
and the orange ones. need to stock up before they go away.
faith is just that faith. religion isn't suppose to have "proof". chill everybody.
one of Jesus' teachings was love, kindness and tolerance. we can all agree on that. (I hope)

Re: Easter 2010: Alleluia, Christ has risen!
Yep - I grew up Methodist in a town of 35,000 people in TN. There were 26 Methodist churches inside the city limits - and we were a pretty small minority compared to the number of Baptists! I can only imagine how many Baptist churches there must have been...

Re: Easter 2010: Alleluia, Christ has risen!
More formal down there, too, IIRC. Dress clothes, if not suits, and "Sunday Dresses." Around here, that is rare. Its usually just jeans and a button down.
And Cadbury Eggs are awesome. Gelled sugar lava inside a chocolate shell? Win.

You and people like you are one of the main reasons I don't follow organized religion anymore. Just be nice to people. I don't give a crap about what someone does on their own time. Why is it your business if two dudes (or two chicks) want to hit it?

Re: Easter 2010: Alleluia, Christ has risen!
Yeah I've never really heard a particularly good argument why gay people are in and of themselves a problem, outside of "the bible says so". The shots are frequently taken at the promiscuity in the "gay lifestyle", but the people taken shots are usually the same ones who are horrified at the thought of gays getting traditional marriages, so who knows.

Re: Easter 2010: Alleluia, Christ has risen!
Well, strictly theologically speaking, I think it's because it's "icky."
Re: Easter 2010: Alleluia, Christ has risen!
God loves every non-sinner, except the gay non-sinners. Let me know when love is a sin.
The hypocricies like the above are a big reason I stopped following organized religion and became spiritual:
1. There's a God. He loves everyone, even the sinners, as long as they atone for their sins.
2. We all sin, since none of us are perfect (well, Gopher fans are darn close). But if a person does truly try to do their best to lead a good life, and is kind to others, etc, God likes that, and that person goes to heaven, whatever heaven is to them.
3. The world is my church, I don't need a designated building to go to every Sunday or on certain days. Whenever you do something nice for someone, or resist sin, that's like praying/thanking God in my eyes.
4. (and please, let's not get into a big to-do about this next one) God went "Abracadaba" and created this big glop of crap we call the universe(s). Then He said, "Let's see what happens. This could be really good. Now, I'm gonna go get me some popcorn and watch." Science took over from there.
