    Correction often times brings improvement. I ban mulhollinman for either not knowing that, or not trying to bring improvement.

    I ban Eievu not for speaking Spanish when French is the better choice, but for the lack of punctuation and capitolization in the Spanish sentence.

    <p><p><p><p><p><p>Athiests don't believe in God, and rely on the theory of evolution to explain how we were formed. Christians believe in God and most think evolution is blasphemous, which may be true according to what some athiests say. However, some parts of evolution can coincide with what God has done (like natural selection).</p></p></p></p></p></p>

    You're not thinking in the right way. We as humans aren't meant to understant how the universe was made. That's why the bible only tells us what happened: God, an infinite being (which we also aren't meant to understand as finite beings), created it. Scientists (Athiests AND non-athiest scientists) come and try to explain how it happened, and still don't understand how the universe was made (because nothing exploading into nothing suddenly creating something is not plausible at all). Learn to not have to fully understand things to believe in them, then the rest is easy.

    4. The Bible says what happened: God created the heavens and the earth. Science says how something happened, whithout knowing what: Nothingness exploded and there was something. They seem to compliment each other; however, you must know what happened in order to know how it happened. God created us intelligent, and without a sin nature. Without that we didn't know evil. When Eve ate the fruit, she sinned, and then learned evil. 5. Heaven is only for the righteous - those who have never sinned. And everyone has sinned (besides Jesus). Therefore no one can enter heaven. God/Jesus didn't like this, so he gave us his righteousness so we could enter heaven. He forgave our sins so we could live (because the punishment for any sin is death), and commands us to forgive others in the same way. 6. What do you think happens to your soul after death? Does it go somewhere? Or does it simply blink out of existance, without another thought. Ever. What if hell is real and you are subject to eternal torment? You don't know. So what do you think when you are dying a slow, painful death? Do you have any solice? Do you fear death? Or are you apathetic at your lack of knowledge? 7. I'm not going to talk about polytheistic religions unless anyone here believes in more than one god. The current debate is whether God exists. The only God. If multiple sources say the same thing about Adam and Eve (Judism, Christianity, Islam, and the nordic bible equivilants you mentioned), then it has a greater chance of being true, doesn't it? As for your quote, od is able to smite evil, and will, but wants people to choose to turn to him. He wants a relationship with us, his creations. If he removed evil or even freewill, then it would be forced love. And forced love is rape. My God doesn't want to rape his creations...... The alternative to worshipping your creator in a world full of spiritual joy is what? Death. Not only that, but eternal torment and separation from everyone. Compared to heaven, earth itself is hell, because heaven is that great. Now tell me, would you really take hell instead of heaven?

    1. There's already oil here. I meent this as a caution to those with matches (everyone) to try to remain as emotionless as possible, and try to refrain from sarcasm (let's see if I can) as text cannot accurrately convey emotion and is often misinterpreted. 2. Perhaps I should have said most. 3. There are many books (as in the books within the Bible, not actual Bibles) that claim to be guided by God. Only some of them are true and the others are not. The disagreement is on which ones are true. The main difference between Catholism and Protistantism is that the Catholics must accept the Pope's word, even above the Bible, whereas Protistants believe in the Bible above men. 4. Interesting. I just learned that the Bible is used by Archeologists for historic data (even though they don't necessarily believe in God) http://www.grace-n-truth.com/thebible.html http://agards-bible-timeline.com/q9_historical_proof_bible.html http://www.icr.org/bible-history/ http://biblicalarcheology.net/?p=82 5. Forgiveness is the act of letting go of a grudge, and a grudge is bad for your health. The article I linked to was my citation of a point of Christianity. 6. Good. Hopefully your peace will last when you or someone near you is dying. [This isn't sarcasm, by the way.] 7. I didn't say that Christianity was just plain unique. I said that Christianity is unique in that all others require that you do something to get into heaven or the equivilant in that religion, where in Christianity, God gave us a gift of life, and in order to go to heaven, we have to accept it, because there is no other way in heaven. 8. Which parts? My post was intended to give objective information so that people will be informed about Christianity, so if they reject it, they won't do so in ignorance. 9. Yes. I have myself to blame, along with everyone else who took part in it. If I bring loads of oil to a match factory, then I'm just as guilty as the one who lights a match. My statement was a simply a caution to everyone who has a match. I really hope the super moderators/admins are watching in case this gets out of hand. I've seen something like this at another site, and I (a global moderator) had to close it. That didn't even work, as the other global moderators replied.

    Those codes should be perfectly legal. There used to be a great flowchart on this topic, which looked like this: Legit: made using in-game methods Legal: made without using in-game methods, but given the right circumstances could be. Illegal: can't possibly exist without outside methods.
