Tell me more about _______?

[agapelove]

You sound like a pretty regular smart guy. I don't begrudge you a relationship with a god, but why do you think the bible is the owner's manual for yours?

Thanks whateverist. I wouldn't want to derail the thread here but I could message you with my thoughts about it.

I like a good game of chess as well.

Cool..I'm no chessmaster but I've played it off and on since I was a kid. It can be fun to watch it played too..you ever see those guys who can play like 10 people blindfolded at the same time? Amazing what the human brain is capable of.

We have a chess thread I owe Sejanus a game.. maybe you should play him and then I will play winner! http://atheistforums.org/thread-22429.html

Also, if I have to shut one eye while I'm stopped in the car in order to judge distance between cars moving in the lanes, is that like what you have?

I can judge quantities by looking too, and have also won jelly bean contests

Hey Bunny,

I checked out the chess thread and it said "thread not found". Let me know where the thread is and I'll show up.

The problem I have is difficult to explain. I have pretty decent depth perception and I can gauge distances fairly well as far as navigating, although I couldn't tell you in feet or inches very well..I'm bad at estimating distances. Quantities I am okay with.

My stereoscopic vision is probably not too much off, but it is enough where my brain is just not processing the scene I am looking at efficiently. I feel like I am always kind of staring into nowhere, if that makes any sense. It probably doesn't. Here is the interesting thing..when I watch a 3D movie it trains my eyes to see right and then everything looks amazing. I can take in everything at once and it all flows. But when it goes back to "normal" I am processing all of the information inefficiently and it's like I can only grasp part of the scene at once. It's kind of a weird issue. I have good vision but my 3d vision is probably more like 2.65D

Here is an online test to see if your stereo vision is working properly:

For me I only ever see one finger..sometimes the finger starts to look like two but then the dot also starts to look like two at the same time.

This guy had his vision fixed by a 3d movie:

This lady had her vision fixed also by therapy I think (they said it couldn't be fixed)

I'm no chessmaster myself, but I do enjoy playing the computer a good round or two.

[KichigaiNeko]

I usually lose.

Think I'll pass

[Drich]

I have webbed toes, or syndactyly affecting the feet

Why not do this?

Yes, I mean the nail polish, it's fab!

..what did you think I meant?

---

---

The added color really sold it for me!

---

1) I'm white and live in an African-American neighborhood.
2) I survived a plane crash.
3) Monkeys make me laugh.
4) I drive a 2001 Saturn with an Astronomy sicker in the window.
5) I read Infinite Jest twice.

What kinda of plane crash?

---

1) my first car was a 67 mustang. I bought it for 500.00 in 93. Restored it and still drive it today.
(When it is not too hot or cold)

2)when I was 14 or 15 I was hunting with my dad and he shot a deer in a cow pasture. It went down and he dragged it to a barbwire fence. I was standing on the other side and when he passed it to me under the fence it woke up and freaked the f-out. He told me not to let go so I held on for what seemed to be forever, and we had to kill it with our bear hands... That was the last time I went deer hunting.

3)recently found out that I am lactose intolerant, and pizza is my favorite food. That and cold cereal, and ice cream. Then I found out most Asians are lactose intolerant. I don't know who to blame cows farmers or the Huns, but someone somewhere is seriously racist.

4) I really dislike cinjin

5)I bought an old truck (79 f350) and I am going to retro fit it with a modern Diesel engine and drive train, (I did something similar with my mustang) because I don't like how new trucks are built or the fact that you can by BMW or porche for the money they want you to spend.

6)I am really an atheist trying to help you dbags shore up your arguements.. Sike.

Actually I am not the type of person to randomly talk with you about Jesus on an airplane. However if you bring up the topic or ask a question, you better hold onto something.

4a) I don't really not like sinny, I just like to wind him up and see what he will say. ;D

This thread doesn't seem to be going anywhere anymore. If you have any interesting ideas about why the god spoken of in the bible should be the one you experience in prayer, I'm sure there would be others as interested as I.

Get your own thread, this one's mine.

Doh! Spoke too soon.

Drich, that's a horrible horrible memory to have to have.

[Tea Earl Grey Hot]

I think of the week as starting on Monday. That's how I always thought of it as. I learned late in life that most people think of sunday as the first day in the week. I don't know how I came to think of monday as the first day. The rest of my family considers it sunday and I was homeschooled so...
