Thanks for the Colorado pics. Some of the places are quite familiar, others are new places for me to explore.
I still can't figure why you'd move from Co. to Ks.
It would take a pro-quarterback's salary, a threat to life or limb (well, maybe) or the need for right to die laws to make me leave. I've lived away from my Rockies and suffered constant withdrawal every time.
Well, it took until I was 22 to figure out that I wasn't 'lazy', and needed to be on Oxygen at that altitude. I came to KS for a graduation a few years back and felt like a fish in water. So I went home, packed, and moved to where I could breathe. Its a sore spot, truly. Allll my family lives there. I feel like an exhile. They don't understand why I can't just wear oxygen and live there-- which I did try for years. Didn't help, I'm too active to be held down by tubes.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
