Wow, you must REALLY like that movie to watch it that many times in so little time. I don't think I would have noticed most of those things even if I had seen it that many times myself, lol. Some interesting stuff there.

I'm sure that some things have probably been changed, and some versions more than others. But I believe that God protected his word so that it did not become corrupted, at least somewhat I'm sure. Of course there isn't much proof that none of the Bible has been changed, but there are many theories by scientists that have no way of being proven, and yet they're accepted by alot of people... anyway.Although it isn't necessary to read the entire Bible to be a Christian, it is definately good to read it through. But if you do so, you need to be open to what God wants you to get from it so that it isn't a waste of time. You have to be willing to hear what's said, you know?

No, the main difference is we don't praise / worship (whatever you want to call it) Mary (I mean, she isn't God after all...), but we do believe she had the miracle virgin birth.

 

I think in Catholicism they pray through Mary to God, but we Christians pray and talk directly with God.

 

And before someone goes and jumps on it, no I don't mean we actually look at his face and talk to him, but we do pray directly to him and talk with him. Talking as in, we say something to him, and he replies, though it might not be right away, and it's not normally a voice in our head. There probably have been some times when it came as a voice in someone's head so to speak, but... I think you get what I'm saying.

...Also, many simple people lead simple lives, and only need a simple christian concept. Love God, be kind with everybody. You can't say that a person that does that is not Christian.

I'm pretty sure we know what you meant, but I'd just like to point out that being a Christian isn't just being kind to everyone, doing good deeds, etc, but they have to accept Christ (Jesus / God) as their savior and be saved.

Now people that think and feel the same get together and organize themselves. Now, to consider ALL organised religion as wrong for me would mean that any type of organization, religious or not, is wrong, because it's only dealing with leaders controling the masses, and that would apply to any organized group, present, past or future, of any kind. The same would be for political groups too for example. And it's also reflecting that man can only be inherently bad :"there can't be good leaders".

Also something to say around that subject is that people need to know how to think for themselves and to not begin to 'worship' their church leader (or other leader like that). If they don't fall into a routine of just listening and hanging onto every word that they say, they will more likely realize when / if the leader begins to 'lead them astray'.

Very nice, I'm sure it will be helpful for people who write tutorials. Oh, that reminds me that I need to write one for my game! I'll be sure to use this for some help on what to do and how it should be. Thanks alot for your tut on tuts!

I didn't get fooled by google or gmail at that day, but I got fooled by Apex DC, I went to their website apexdc.net and saw that a new version of this application is available, so I downloaded it and thought I have the new version, but this was just a prank.. I didn't get, thought it was a bug or something, when I went to the news and saw the date it was released On April 1st, so I got pranked by them..

Don't you think a prank where they "suspended" all of our accounts would be a little much? Some people might have sites that would be badly effected by that, lol. But uh, yeah I'm sure some site out there beat Google in its own way... just wouldn't have fooled as many people I guess.

Seems a little risky to have a program or whatever mess with your system's OS files... I'd stick with plain old XP or save up for Vista.

lol, wow. There were alot of sites that did April Fool's jokes yesterday.One site (http://www.japanyay.com/dothack.php) put up a big "We have been shut down by <insert company name here>. Lol, when it came back up everyone was ranting and crap, lol. Another one (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/) said they were going to release a much anticipated (by fans of that site at least) 3D game "in the next 24 hours", oh man those guys were ticked off when they found out. And then a Wikia (dothack wikia) changed all the series names to some guy's name and put up fake pics. I actually didn't pull any pranks this year, lol. I shoulda thought up something.

Seriously, it's really good. You might not expect it to be, but it is. You should definately check it out! ^.^

Awesome! I went to see this movie with our church's youth group, and we all loved it. I would go out and buy it if I had the money to use, lol.

I was actually going to post something about ieSpell, lol. The only thing I've found with it though (I just found it like two days ago) is that it doesn't show red lines like in Word if you've misspelled a word, but all you have to do is right-click and run the spell check when you've finished typing. Works fine for me!

Nice, the new layout / design thing is really nice. The space-themed image is a little random, but after thinking about it some it fits well enough. It's a really nice image either way, lol. I definately think the layout of their new site is much more appealing and possibly easier to navigate than the last one. I'm one that ended up having to keep going back to that site, and I was getting a little tired of that old layout, lol.I've also seen a preview and demos of the new phpBB3 they've been working on for a while, and I personally think it's great. I know there are some stability issues at the moment, but that's why they have the beta, right? I'm not sure how styles work exactly, but I'm guessing that entirely new themes will have to be made to work with this new major version update. If that's the case, I'll probably wait a while to switch to phpBB3 (that plus the whole stability and bugs issue, I'll wait for some of those to be resolved). I don't really want to make the switch and have to use the default theme, lol (even though it is nice).If styles don't have to be completely redone, then I'll probably switch right over when it comes out. Some of the styles might just have to be modded a little too, I don't really know.Oh, I got a little bit off topic I guess, lol, but not too badly.

Spell check is a pretty good feature to have in a web browser, especially considering some of the people you run into that takl leik thiz, lol. It's not a big enough deal for me to switch to FireFox though. I tried FireFox a while back, and couldn't stand it. I don't see why so many people are so... passionate? about it. (Weird thing to be passionate about btw, lol).

An Opera browser on the DS would be really awesome. It's great enough to have it on the Wii (wow, Nintendo likes Opera don't they, lol), but in my hands on a portable would be awesome as well! WiFi is a little annoying since it's so hard to find a good spot to hook up to it (even in my house =_=), but that'll still be awesome! How will it be available if we can't already browse anything to download it or w/e? That'll be interesting to see... or will it only be for new DS's? That would suck ... lol.

(Sorry, I haven't read the entire conversation, but most of it. Therefore I will go on my point from what I read.)

 

A Christian does not have to read the entire Bible (like in an earlier example, there's a difference in knowing God with your mind, and with your heart. Many atheists know who God is, have read the Bible, etc, but still don't know God) A Christian doesn't even actually have to have a Bible, they can learn from other Christians, but I'd say if you can get one, it would be a very good idea. You can learn alot more by reading it first hand and getting out of it what God wants you to get out of it.

 

I've read a verse before and not found anything at all in it (at the time I wasn't very open to God, aka I was in a bad mood and didn't feel like listening... shame on me >_<; But when I read it again later, what God wanted me to see and get from it popped out at me as if it were highlighted.

 

Oh, by the way, if you don't fully believe that God will do or tell you something, then don't expect him to do it.

Just a little FYI for someone out there that might need to see it... dunno but I just felt for some reason I needed to put it.

Those are really good! Very nice in my opinion. I think that you might have gone a little overboard on the text in the first two, but the rest are very nice. There is something about the third one though, not really sure, maybe just too much? That doesn't really make sense though, oh well, anyway, good job!

Yeah you can't really blame the game or the game company when people do stupid stuff like that. It's not the game company's fault some people are too stupid to understand fantasy from reality... and also stupid from good sense. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to have games (and alot of other stuff) because they're too stupid to think "ok... this wouldn't be a good thing to do." If people would stop and think about stuff before they did it, that would help ALOT of the problems we have today.

Looks useful for people that use CD type stuff alot. I, personally, have only used ISO type stuff once or twice, and only pretty recently. It would be a nice way to backup and still be able to use the CD files without buringing them or whatever. It would also be useful for people that download ISO type stuff too. I don't do that (like I said, I've only dealt with ISO-type stuff once or twice), but it would be useful for the people that do.

Yep, I found that out pretty quick. At first I tried learning by reading some instruction type things on it, but that didn't work out at all, lol. So instead I looked around for some tuts and they are getting me used to it and give me ideas for new stuff. Thanks for your comment!

I like that Pure as Snow one the best I think except for the foggyness or overly bright or contrast on Haku (is that her name?) Also, it's not too crowded but not too spacey, very nice in my opinion. The banner is a bit... idk crowded or... maybe its just the images you used, not sure.

Very nice, I always like finding some new Photoshop tutorials to give me new ideas and help me learn that program more. I've only done a few things with it so far, so tutorials really help me, thanks.

Nice, I used to have problems with that. But spyware cleaners would be better definately if you could get rid of them. I use Ad-Aware plus my McAffee virus protection thingy. They've worked pretty good to keep my PC safe so far.

lol, well there's some truth in that you know. .hack anime: story = awesomeness; animation = total suxThe new .hack//GU games are really good though, they're kinda too easy, but the story still rocks, the gameplay is fun, and the new animation style rocks. I think we're getting a little off-topic though, lol.Thanks for your comment on my siggy! I also have one with a red border instead of orange. The red works good on dark backgrounds and the orange on light backgrounds.

It might be a little bit enhanced in some ways too. If nothing else, probably something like lightening it or changing the contrast or something. Still a really awesome image.

It's definately a big step for Wikipedia, but I kind of doubt they'll be able to catch up to Google. I, personally, don't like Google... pretty much just because everyone talks about it. But Google has become to search engines as Kleenex has become to tissue. When people tell someone to search for something they say "Google it" not "search for it", like how most people say they need Kleenex, not they need tissue. It's become a 'household name' I think is the correct phrase.
