I hope you do live like that, because it means you are being productive and beneficial.
But you know how far out I am, and I consider missing the undertaker one of the greatest privileges anyone can shoot for.
And we don't get it because of our good performance because all of us fall short.
We get it by trust (another word for faith) and obedience.
I'm not sure you understood my drift. Here's a more simplified picture:
You: After rapture, I'll be gone because... (highly baseless speculative thinking only a delusional creature would ever believe).
ME: After death, Ill be gone. PERIOD.

I know and believe me I truly appreciate it. The conversations I've had with some of you via Facebook are testament to that. I just wish I could thank you in person; which might not be as difficult as it seems, the way things are shaping.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Sorry - didn't catch the humor. My bad.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

Do you realize that the Revised Standard Version of the Bible does not make it very easy to believe in the ascension, trinity and crucifixion of the Christ, much less in him dying for the sins of men. You're telling me what the apostles of Christ interpolated...I wish to know what the Master has to say. Where does the Master say any of this in the Bible?

Is this still going?
We're into October now and I haven't seen any floating Christians yet.
Okay, so that's not entirely accurate. I nad a guy brought into work last week who claimed to be a Christian and he was high as a kite, but in a different way.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Hey! I remember this thread! Remember the professor? Ha! Guy was priceless.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
