Being gay is not what you 'are'.It's what you 'do'! God gave us the gift of choosing what we do. It is entirely your decision whether you are gay or not, it is not god's decision. That's all I have to say. Edit: or maybe not. I believe that the cmmandment is 'thou shall not murder', or at least that's what I think when I think about it. Murder is maliciously killing someone with harm in mind. A criminal put to death is not usually malicious, unless he is falsely accused and the court is corrupt.

Alright, many people would die? Well, MILLIONS of unborn babies die each year from people who commit adultery and then abandon the child, and then the mother takes the easy way out and murders the baby. About the business owner? Let's say he also is a mass murderer. Whould he be spared simply because he's the owner of the company. No, that's not fair that some people with more power get more leniance. And why don't the two friends just marry eachother? Problem solved. However, punishment should only be executed when there can be no doubt in anyone's mind about who is guilty to prevent these 'witch trial' things. You can't easily punish a thing like that, because there is little proof possible to get.

This sounds strange.... if you ever fix it let me know, I had a computer do this to me once, but it fixed itself after a wewk (that was an old 286, though).Just out of curiosity, how do you format a drive with it not loading? Is there an option in the BIOS?

Yeah, they both were written in the old days where programmers used like... Commodore BASIC or binary.About Java? Java is hard. C++ is not quite so hard. I mean...cout vs. system.out.println?cin vs. who the blazes knows how to get input (I used to know but I forgot)?But this ain't about Java.Anyway, I'm almost positive that C was made in binary.It makes sense1. Binary was the fastest.2. They didn't have much availibly back then.3. C/C++ is much better/faster/powerful than all the stuff that they DID have back then. Like... if you wrote C in BASIC, it'd be as slow and unpowerful as basic...

When my website was blocked from my school, I just accessed it via FTP, but you'd have to know the password.

When I was like... eight or nine, my brother showed me how to do basic things... images, links, colors, etc.Then, when I was like 11, I started to learn Javascript and DHTML and all that.

Couldn't people lie about whether they use linux and sign up and mess it up... or does it do a check... and if it does, couldn't everybody get opera and try and fool it?Sounds interesting.... I want to know, in contrast, how many windows and mac user there are worldwide too, does anybody know of a website where this could happen?

Linux is very, very confusing. If something breaks, you have to really know it well to fix it. However, Linux is better than windows in these ways:1. Much less buggy.2. Easier to install some things.3. There are HOARDS of FREE GAMES and FREE OTHER SOFTWARE for it... openoffice (pretty much like microsoft office only free) if a good example. Windows is a HUGE memory hogger, and linux probably works faster and more efficiently.BUTAs I said, it's more confusing and it isn't for everyone. plus, lot's of common software (especially computer games) aren't compatible with linux and you have to use a windows emulator, and that spells disaster.

Even without the bible it's obvious homosexuality it 1. Immoral 2. Gross 3. Evil The bible makes it crystal clear. Anyway, I think when Jesus came he did away with some of the old customs and rules... like people can eat unclean food (pigs, oysters) now, and maybe shaving a beard is included in that too? I don't really understand what that meant butthey certainly can do something about it: stop.

I haven't really seen anything like that, but I do remember this one song that I heard once that has all these wonderful descriptions of this car dates '64... and that's old now...

Hey me too! Except I'm not really starting.. I've used other programming languages but haven't really done anything with them. Good luck learning c++... I'm having a bit of trouble, but no matter.

Lev 20:10 And the man that committeth adultery with [another] man's wife, [even he] that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. I certainly agree with this. Adultery is1. Immoral2. Evil (ok that's kind of the same...)l3. Not in anyone's best interest.Lets say the guy goes with the girl and gets her pregnant... then he abandons her, leaving her to fend for herself to raise the child. BUT, it doesn't stop there. Some people won't bother trying to raise the child nd so they MURDER it instead via abortion. This is obviously not in anybody's best interest.It's so much better if both are punished severely, even put to death. Then:1. We can prevent it from happening again.2. People will think twice before doing it... and not do it.3. There will be less murders via abortion.About the seriousness? I think my religious beliefs are serious and not just some joke. It's good to have fun and be happy and have fellowship, though.

There's Well of Souls... I forget the url though.

nmsite/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Just a few text-based games that came to mind. Careful in nightmist, though. Everyone there is a backstabbing fiend... you have to eb to survive.

I don't think it's something somebody can really teach you. Sure you can learn to use the programs, but you kind of have to figure out for yourself what looks good and what doesn't.

Here's my code: #!/usr/bin/perl#print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";print "Howdy, world!"; I saved it in my cgi-bin with 777 permissions and It goes; I'm probably doing something really dumb... tell me what it is?

Firstly, about the no other gods before me.Let's say some fake priest comes and had an altar, and everybody worshipped it, and he said that his 'god' said "give my priest a million dollars", and the people would do it because of their religious belief. Not good. And, anybody persecuted using this as justification was not done so rightly. The commandment did not say, "torture anyone who disobeys this". And thou shalt not take the lord's name in vain? If you do, he becomes nothing more than a joke, and you begin to ignore Him and laugh at him. This is not good. Remember the sabbath? Yes, it is in everyone's best interest. And people should have a 'holy day' to keep them on track. The morality of this is to keep people from working all day and makign themselves tired and unhealthy. See here. Rawr god RAWR? You think we don't really need to be told the other commandments? Apparently, some people do. There are peopel committing adultery left and right. You'll see tons of murder in Palestine. Yes I shouldn't be looking for something to disprove it, I just wanted to fill up my post. About the other religions? I have no problem with Islam or Judaism or Buddhism. Islam is fine. It makes sense to me except that I don't believe in the violent conversion of people to Islam when they conquer everything. Jesus seems like a more godly guy than Mohammed to me. I have not read the Quran so I shouldn't judge it really. Buddha seems like a guy who's smart enough. He goes along and comes with this interesting theory about how you should behave. I disagree with it at some points, but I think it's pretty moral. BUT, I liek christianity better than them all because, like I said, everything is says is: Moral, Good for Everyone overall, Sensible, I can't find anything to disagree with. So, I don't find many other religions to be all BS, I just think they are incorrect on some points. I'm not--shall we say--- the best at defending my religious beliefs, so forgive me is there are any flaws.

I vote for perl. For me, perl was easier to learn than php for some odd reason.HEre are my reasons for likeing perl.1. Knowing perl is a lot more impressive ;-).2. Perl has a camel.3. It makes sense to me.

Hey thanks! I never knew this. Very useful!Time to get some people to link to my page ;-).

I hate web browsers. You have to make it compatible with all of them and that's a pain. Imho IE is easier for writing, but it has more bugs. I think everybody should just have to use the same source to make it easier for everybody. And who cares about one stinky bug in firefox. Firefox is obviously coded much better and has less bugs. It's not even really a bug!!!

Ok, I'll change my background. My left menu actually has an 'ice' pattern if you look at it.

http://forums.xisto.com/ Great Story of the Penguin/Fish Wars.Ok...1. Would you come back to this website to check for more updates in the plot and new features?2. How did you like the choice of colors and layout.3. How do you think I could improve it.4. Was the plot entertaining?Keep in mind that it is intended for 12-16 year olds.

I believe that god created the world, that he sent his son to save us, and that he'll come again. (everything the bible says).Why?Because nothing has ever been done that convinces me that it is not true. The values that are held by this seem to be the best and the most beneficial for everyone. The Ten Commandments are a good example, I think they are moral and are in everyone's best interests. Everything seems to makes sense, too. Many other religions (like ancient native american) seem to have a story of 'the great flood'. This fits in with noah's ark, which all our ancestors sprouted from, so naturally all people would remember and record this. I believe it is historically accurate as well. Everything fits in.This is why I believe what I do.

It depends on what type it would be. If it was first-person, I would definitely play and love it. It you saw yourself walking around, but the camera stays with your and you can view from different angles, i'd give it a try. If it was like, a view from above, I'd play it if the gameplay was very good.I might suggest starting over every two months or so... that way no-one can get SOOOO far ahead that nobody else even stands a chance of becoming the best.

Yes, I've seen screenshots. I plan on buying this as soon at the price goes down. (to only $35). The screenshots are AMAZING! I tell you. I play a game called runescape, and It's kind of fun except it gets really old and there isn't enough to provide a constant source of amazement and fun.
