We broke it.  Dammit, somebody call customer support.


(dude, did you google some videos...can't post em here, but that shit is downright hilarious - that man has fast hands...it's impressive)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Sorry, after seeing the movie "Deliverance" I'm going to shy away from anything which promises it.  Not gonna get me up there squealing like a pig.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Yeah, I mean, it says it's free--but hey once you're there and she's got you thinking, "maybe just maybe god DOES want to heal me today yeah?", and conveNiently the collections pan ends up in your hand, you dump all your grocery money in it in possible expectation of a long term cure with sparkles of hope in your eyes becauze this time--this time, you have all the faith in the world! 
And you go home ,  open a pack of ramen noodles, wake up the next day with nothing changed, realize y o u have zero food for the week, and consider that maybe you misinterpreted all the godly signs and you were meant to give all your money away to learn a lesson, or perhaps your money will be used to do good in this world like save a life--a small price to pay for an empty stomach, i mean, children in Africa are starving to death fgs!

For the same reason only korean Kids can be 'sick-ies' or the french have connards.. They simply call them by different names.

What on earth do you even mean by "sickies" and "connards"? Just.. curious? You confuse me sometimes with your weird old guy speak. Tongue
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!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

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.

korean and french for bastard.

In english french and korean we all have and understand what a bastard is in our own way. Like wise with a miracle we have our own name for them which is why we do not see the word miracle used anymore.
