  1. Tolerance Of Those Who Do Not Believe...

    I wonder how many atheists and agnostics there are in Congress. Right now I think "you people" are represented by a total number of 0 self proclaimed atheists. Isn't there something about taxation without representation?

    Rep. Pete Stark

    The atheists here seem to be a rather intelligent bunch. Does that mean since there are none in Congress that atheists are too smart to run fior office or that Congress is a few fries short of a happy meal?

  2. Church Armories

    in Legal Questions

    Posted

    Our situation is entirely different than Waco, or Ruby Ridge, or MOVE or whatever; and it has nothing to do with “religious guns”. I did some research into those groups and what I call “religious disasters”.

    The main part of my question in the original post was “Aside from being under lock and key, what are the restrictions for a organization keeping an armory?”

    Theres a reason why the Wells Fargo trucks are armor plated and the guys who carry the money are armed. They are just there to do a job, not to police or judge or enforce, and the money they carry isn't theirs; but if they weren't armed, people would rob them everyday...so I guess its about having something people want and wanting to protect it.

    Edited to add: that the B.U.C. is, and has always been in full cooperation with all Federal, State, and Local authorities.

    My intended point is that if you start an armory on a church property, you will probably attract attention, and it will probably not be the kind you want.

    Just my $.02

    If theres no other objections, then I guess I can go ahead with this.

    Hmm, lessee; non-mainstream church, remote area, stockpiled armory, kids, felons.

    I think there was something like that in Waco, Texas, a few years back, but I'm not sure if it made the news.

    Give reference please. Thanks

    That won't be necessary; after reviewing your scientific data, I am now convinced that there is in fact a massive extra solar object headed towards Earth, and that its gravitational pull, combined with our alignment with the center of the galaxy, will indeed bring cataclysmic devastation to our planet.

    The "allignment" (or "CONVERGENCE") of our solar system with the Milky Way "EQUATOR" is once every 26,000 years. I was using the term "ecliptic" instead of "equator." And, yes, this allignment is now due.

    As I noted, the Solar System is moving away from the Galactic Plane, and will continue to do so for an estimated 12-15 million years before heading back towards Galactic South.

    This puts the next crossing of the Galactic Equator some 25-40 million years away.

    That is not only the Mayan prophecy but also the scientific calculation of when our solar system will be in the exact CENTER of the Milky Way Ecliptic.

    There is no such thing as the "Milky Way Ecliptic".

    The Ecliptic is the plane of the Solar System; the corresponding feature of the Milky Way is the "Galactic Plane".

    The Ecliptic is tilted about 60 degrees from the Galactic Plane; the Solar System is roughly 100 light years to Galactic North of the Galactic Plane, and that distance is increasing.

  12. Green Literature?

    in Creative Expression & Cultural Arts

    Posted · Edited by Samuron

    I'm actually wondering just how "green" such books really are.

    A traditional book, once printed, consumes no resources, and can be made of renewable materials.

    An e-book, however, must be displayed on a system that requires power, which is currently (no pun intended) produced, in most areas, using polluting technologies consuming non-renewable resources.

    E-books may actually still be more environmentally friendly; if someone has actual data, I’d love to see it. Just assuming that since “no trees were killed” they are automatically better, however, may not be accurate.

    Correct. Family is who raises you and supplies all the emotional support you need growing up.

    All I got from the European/American side was that in their opinion the KKK are the good guys.

    Then all you're doing is ignoring an undesirable part of your genetic heritage and aligning yourself with another that affords you a position of apparent superiority.

    My people were nomadic until the Euros came and put up borders. We traveled the entire circumpolar north and have grave sites in Alaska going back 20,000 years. How long has your family been here?

    I don't live in Alaska, I live in Arizona, and the Athabaskan peoples didn't get here until about the same time as the "Euros", so I really don't see the relevance.

    I didn't realize that you were full-blooded though; that's cool.

  19. Star Wars Questions

    in Cultural Arts Archive

    Posted

    My hubby and father-in-law are arguing about Star Wars and yet we can't find the answers anywhere. Did Master Siphadious turn into Palpatine/Siddeous? Who placed the order for the clone army and why? I have no clue and they are annoying me with this so any help is appreciated...thanks.. :lol:

    The clone army was ordered by:

    LAMA SU: Please tell your Master Sifo-Dyas that we have every confidence his order will be met on time and in full.

    He is well, I hope.

    OBI-WAN: I'm sorry? Master - ?

    LAMA SU: Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. He's still a leading member of the Jedi Council, is he not?

    OBI-WAN: Master Sifo-Dyas was killed almost ten years ago.

    LAMA SU: Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. But I'm sure he would have been proud of the army we've built for him.

    Why? According to the book Labyrinth of Evil, the Jedi sensed the coming darkeness, and the army was to protect the Republic. Sideous found out and had Sifo-Dyas killed before he told the rest of the Jedi about it.
