500 on a leg press is nothing spectacular for someone young. Hell if Pat Robertson were 35 instead of ancient I might believe the 800lbs claim....

Well...the people at the gym were impressed...I guess I'll just have to work at it, but I don't want to get big, just thinner with muscle.
When I go to JMU, I'll be eating less, riding my bike more, and working out at the gym(Free Membership WOOT!).
How did we get to this subject?...Oh yeah...the village idiot of Virginia Beach...

I want to see how JewishHobbit responds to DarthPhere. I am curious.

Scitzo's also think the voices they hear are completely real as well. If religion had never been invented and you started running around saying you heard God talk to you, you'd be locked up. For some reason if people say it's God we make an exception, but if the voice belongs to a guy named Bob then it's off to the mental ward.

I do not think your crazy, I'm just trying to point out how ridiuclous it is. I doubt your a scitzo, but I know you have not heard God's voice nor recognized God's voice. For one thing how could you recognize it? How would you know what his voice sounds like in the first place? You see, for all you know you could have a mental problem.

The thing is, when people 'hear God's voice', they don't hear a thing (at least not the people I speak with who have). God speaks with emotions, silent nudges, etc. I know one person who claimed to literally hear God's voice, and she ended up being demon possessed.

I think the real answer is that you never heard any voice. I honestly feel that people are lying when they say they heard God's voice. I'm not trying to be rude to you, but that's what I believe. The authors of the bible said the same thing. "God spoke to me and told me to write his word."

They weren't scitzos. They were liars.

You're entitled to your opinion and many people would agree with you. Thing is, you have to believe that, because if you're wrong, and if I'm right, then there really is a God, and a lot of people just don't want to believe that. So instead of giving the option some credit, people just call it crazy for their own mentality and move on. Thing is, it's not, I know that, thousands and thousands of other people know that. As for the poeple in the Bible, I do believe that it was inspired. I don't believe that God spoke to them in an audible voice, but rather nudges and such. I had something like that happen with an old high school paper I had to write. It's a cool story

Am I missing a comment somewhere?

I'm just curious about this whole "God talks to me" thing. I stand with DP - I don't buy it. The whole thing about him giving you nudges and stuff.

Do you mean stuff like coincidences? I'm trying to think of an example... but I'm sure lots of people interprete coincidences as a message from God... when really it is just a coincidence. Oh yes, I can think of an example. All of these loser Christians (not Christians in general, just a few of them) that see every flood and war and disaster as a sign of the end of times. You *******s, wars have always happened. There have been worse incidents than the 9/11 attack! These cannot be considered as signs as the end of times, you morons!

No, I don't mean coincidences. I know what you mean by that, as I've met a lot of christians who think that everything that happens is God in some way or another, but that isn't the case. I'll tell you what I'm refuring to. Two examples actually. The first is of a time when I was at school. I came into English class and the teacher announced a quiz on a story we were suppose to read. Now I didn't hear her tell us this, so I didn't read it. I really needed the grade (as English wasn't my strong point at the time). I kinda started worrying but then began to pray that God help me with it. Suddenly I started to get this image of a story in my mind of cowboys and indians. I never looked at the story, there was no theme of late to stories (all random stuff), and there was nothing discussed or a title given to give me a hint. I just had this thought, and so I wrote on it. A one page written essay of what I thought of the story and how it relates to today's world. I ended up getting the highest grade in the class. I checked the story after the quiz and everything I wrote was dead on the story without having read it. Those are the kind of nudges I'm talking about.

Another example was when I was in youth group. There was this guy named Ryan that I looked up to immensely. He was a leader and a good friend. However, I was very shy back then and didn't want to tell him this. I went months and just kept thinking that I'll tell him later. Then on a wednesday night, I was sick, and I just kept getting this feeling that I need to tell him that I respect him. I kept putting it off and putting it off but it just got stronger and stronger. I finally just said no, I'll tell him sunday, and went home. Sadly, Ryan died in a car accident that Friday and I never got the chance to tell him. I carried that with me for years. If I had listened to the nudges aka God's voice, then I would have had peace in knowing that he knew how much I respected him before he died.

That is how God speaks to me, and that's only two examples. There's other times when people I know have gotten this feeling that someone who seems fine needs something, whether it be food or money, and they just give it... and the person who was given the money or food really needed it and was too proud to ask. Things like that. It happens every day in every state in I'd assume every country. Just talk to anyone that's been a christian for at least a year or two and I'm certain they'll tell you of a time they've had situations like these, or know others who've had situations like these. It's not uncommon or strange at all. It's normal events that happen in life that people tend to just ignore because it interfers with the prefered idea of God, or lack there of (at least, that's my assumptions)

Anyway. You know those preachers that claim the power of God flows through them, and that they can heal the sick, and even instantly convert people?

Well here is a clip...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DylNVUN_3I

This clip shows Derren Brown, who some of you may have heard of, debunking that whole thing. He uses suggestion and trickery to get what he wants from people.

As for the video, sadly, it won't play for me for some reason, but I'll watch it when I can get it to play. But I find it hard to believe that all the people who've been healed in one form or another were healed through trickery. I know people who've been healed by cancer when they were told they were already too far gone. According to my doctor, when I went blind, prayer is the only thing that healed me, because he didn't... etc.

But anyhow, I'll watch the video before I say much more.

Looks like the dumb f-cker was wrong.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

No, there was a huge attack by terrorists.
a verbal attack.

 

[The Senator]

I can't believe people still take this man seriously.

Coincidentally, he also predicted that the U.S. will face a huge disaster in 2008.
(probably meaning a Democrat will be President)

 

[Drizzle]

Pat Robertson was wrong...what a surprise.

He's the biggest arse around.

Jerry Falwell was bigger, but you know, he's with the Good Lord these days, happily bashing gays and women for eternity.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Pat Robertson's a dick.

Ted Haggard's up there too.
