because of what you stand for, freedom,liberty, indulgance, pursuit of wealth, sex, drugs, rock and roll too.
Do you know what they are doing now? They are building mosques in the US at an alarming rate. There are currently just over 2000 mosques in the continental US, with over 3000 more to be built before 2008. While everyone is busy worrying about how to get a HDTV or a fricken lexus with rims, Islam is planning an ambush right underneath our collective noses.
I have no beef with you personally cobaltblooz, but Partch is right, if we don't speak when God gives us an opportunity, we are not being true to our faith.
One more fact, the United States has been in steadily declining financially, politically and morally since God has been systematically removed from American society. Mere co-incidence...I don't think so. I'd love to hear ANYONE rebutt this FACT!
I you do nothing, you will end up with nothing, and all the while you were distracted by nothing.
I did a search on \"Big Bang\"....and found the answer.
Oh what delicious BLASPHEMY....(And a Simpsons reference! :twisted: )
The thing that really stuck in my craw this weekend was watching Youtube videos of the \"Westboro Baptist Church\" congregation protesting at military funerals because \"God Hates America\"...they say our soldiers deserve to die because we are a sinful nation and God is out to destroy us (quote: \"Thank God for 9/11\"....!)....these nutjobs had me beside myself with anger, I'm still in disbelief....all I know is - if they protested MY sons funeral after giving his life for his country, they would have a whole new batch of funerals to attend!
WOW..some nerve. Those religous nut jobs are going to get a rude awakening when the end comes and they realize it was all a bunch of BS. Those dirty &^%$^%$ who flew those planes on 9/11 sure found out that they've been living a lie and all that was there to greet them was blackness and a whole lot of NOTHING. I love sex, booze, rockin' roll and if I had to give all that up for a book and a wooden bench on Sunday's, I'd kill myself.
my Opinion only. I mean no offence to the true believers. I am a realist, that's all
M.R.
No one wants you to kill yourself, or to trade your current life for a book and a wooden bench. We just want people to stop generalizing and inferring that all people who believe in God, agree with these obviously twisted folks at the WBC. Just as we don't compare agnostics on the board to Hitler or that crazy bastage in North Korea(who has promised to point his bombs at the US BTW). I assure you that had I called out cobalt in the manner he called out Partch...my posts would be edited at very least. As soon as god was defended (and not one second before) The content was questioned by admin.
I agree with what you said about the 911 bombers, no virgins, no domain to rule...only the fiery depths of hell.
You infer that one cannot be a realist AND a believer at the same time, you can, I am.
It's kinda funny you didn't chime in when it was going the other way... Nonetheless I will head to the mighty power of ADMIN
Dobb.
It's what groovy called the \"final straw\" effect. In this case, when it's one-sided and no one complains, there's little harm done. Many people will not get offended by the topic, but rather avoid challenging others' firm beliefs. Once it offends someone - someone else's beliefs offending someone gets pretty touchy - it is best for all parties involved to put a stop to it. It's not what we're here for, and in this sense of no consequence.
I believe that anybody who is highly religious uses religious symbols (e.g. \"God\") as a metaphor for things that a strict atheist perceives somehow else. To me, \"man in the image of the Creator\" is a reflection on the creative power of mankind - to conceptualize the generating principle (the \"creator\"), break it down into smaller concepts (knowledge or \"science\") and apply it to make positive change in the universe. \"Go forth and multiply, replenish this earth and subdue it\" - doesn't that sound about right? Doesn't everyone do it, by what they perceive as a mandate from a higher power? Does a scientist, in his daily actions, not reflect these principles? Doesn't a priest, away from his religious activities? We put it into play regardless of how we conceptualize it, and in this way we are all the same.
So whether you consider \"God\" an entity that is the \"Creator\", or just an anarchronism in a modern, better-understood world, there's no reason to start a fight about it. Do you praise the \"Lord\" with your music? You have to - no choice in the matter - as music (and comprehension of it) is reflective of the greater cognitive principle of creation. So even when you're singing about the Antichrist, you are giving credit to the nature of our universe by using it as a means of expression - and you are part of the only species on earth that is capable of it. We should be thankful for what we have, and not waste time flaming each other for a difference of perception.
I didn't equate ALL Christians with these idiots (some how YOU read that into my post)...I'm just \"Throwing Monkey Wrenches\" in a thread....He's entitled to his opinion (as are you)....and I'm entitled to an opposing view (weather you find that distastful, unsettling or not!)
As far as the Bible VS. Science argument....there's WAY too much typing needed for me to bother (and I HATE typing).... and I know if your convictions are unshakable, I'm not going to convice you.
We've had budget defecits before, and I'm confident Islam wont take over the US, or the world either
So let me get this right...its alright to make fun of the christians on the board...as long as nodoby stands up for their side. Because if that happens it might be fair for a second or two.
... and I know if your convictions are unshakable, I'm not going to convice you.
Thanks Blooz, I'm glad you recognized that fact.
As for the psuedo intillectual christian science in our modern more understanding world blurb... almost convincing...until I read your first reply to Partch:
I'm free through pot, alcohol, and sex!
I suppose you were 100% serious with absolutely no sarcasm, or intention of making fun of Partch's beliefs or to harrass him or otherwise belittle him in any way? Or is this your philosophy on life and the page five manifesto is BS? Or could you in fact be guilty of \"flaming someone\" because they don't believe what you believe?
Holy Cats. FlameFest '06.... :shock:
As long as we're not talking guitars or spending our time playing them, I feel it's my duty to point out that if you guys spent all this energy talking me up to Elizabeth Hurley, I'd be sleeping with her by now. :?
I was referring to the moderator. I meant to only say thanks to you, I guess I forgot to put Iliace name down when I referred to him. I was trying to point out that he was guilty of the flaming before I even showed up.
Holy Crap.... this is a guitar forum. Unless god has a smokin new patch to post, or a new tune posted we shouldn't even be talking about him/her here. Everyone has their beliefs and that's fine. So everyone take it easy and let's talk about guitar stuff.
M.R.
See, this is the problem. I'm not flaming anyone. I don't really care, personally. Making a simple statement of dissent does not constitute flaming does it? :shock: I apologize if it came off that way.
Fair Enough... I think I'll take Metal rulz' advice.
Has anyone ever heard of choosing guitar strings based on tension instead of diameter? I came across a site of a guitar maker who sells string sets that are tension matched instead of the traditional sized sets. This is similar to using a .52 for low E or a wound G string, but diameters are chosen so each string has the same tension while in tune.
Anyway, the guy wanted too much for a set, and he doesn't disclose the string diameters in his packs. Has anyone tried this? Can anyone say roughly what size strings to match up to try this? Apparently it eliminates a lot of low end buzz.
\"What a bummer! I guess soon we'll pay fees to listen to copyrighted music at house parties ! \"
\"Metallica could be losing money here somewhere...maybe Lars is behind this? \"
Does anyone remember \"Demolition Man\", Stalone/Snipes/Bulock, where there was \"nothing\" on the radio but old commercails \"for your listening pleasure\". I really hope this is'nt a sign if things to come, because of copyright greed.

I dont advocate the use of drugs of any kind....NOW sex & booze, I'm all for it! (not necassarily in that order....)
Silence...huh...not surprising
Um, yeah....its called \"sleep\"....try it, maybe you'l feel better
I will make Partch a deal....dont push your beliefs here....and I wont promote mine (which are just as valid as his I might add....)
