Since I'm not a Christian, you'll have to explain to me why we can now eat pork after Christ's crucifixion. Other than that, seems like it will work if my mom will actually listen to me this time.
Err.. nevermind.

Metion to her that perhaps God was protecting us from some disease that was present in non-kosher sources of meat during the presence of this law? Since in Romans it plainly stated that all food is clean, the rule was abolished since there was no longer a concern.

Quote from: MyndFire's Post
19Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. 20Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall.

She won't believe it unless it's a verse.

Alright, my mom doesn't want to listen. No matter what I say, she brings up verses from the Old Testament saying that pig is unclean. She just doesn't know how to listen. Any ideas?
Explain to her that people in the Old Testament were to yet to be redeemed through the salvation of Christ's crucifixion. This is the main reason why times changed so much in the New Testament.

Doesn't matter what your vote was he got in and that is doing something right. He can prove himself to people, I would never consider someone "permantly" out of a circle, thats just arrogant and nonhelpfull, pesimistec.

Like Myndy said, you obviously didn't read. Right inside of his post he said if Joe matures, he'd love to be one of the first welcome him in. All he's basically saying is to wait, I don't know where you got "permanently" from.

Well, Metal, the "reasoning" you have to turn athiest instead of Christian (or any other religion, for that matter) is kind of silly; basing what you believe on what you perceive you can or cannot do versus what is true or false... seems illogical.

I'm already agnostic, so I'm not a believer. Being athiest means you basically hate all religion. The only difference is I'd hate Christianity instead of just not believing it because of this rediculous law, but you've made it clear to me it's not a law anymore.

Also, thanks for the great arguement, I'll show my mom it now.

Well apparently, my mom's got her hands on a book about what we're supposed to eat. Even worse, this book is considered a religious book, which says that God doesn't want us to eat pork, shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, mussels, and many other foods because they're loaded with toxins and are supposedly considered an abdomination just like gay marriage.

Who says any of this is true? Sure, it's written in the bible, but isn't the bible written by man? Also, the bible was written thousands of years ago. Back then, pork was toxic and killed many people. It's said not to be toxic anymore today, but my mom still says, "The bible was written for any time period." I'm agnostic, so for me all of this is just a reason to turn athiest instead of Christian.

Also, anyone have any knowledge on the toxicity levels of any of these meals?

Don't worry, I have CS2. I also know many extremely talented artists that owe me favors. Sexual favors, but this will do.

I've seen it, but I'd rather see if there's a possibility of actually fixed the forums so I could use the original, much sexier version of it. If it doesn't turn out, I'll probably end up taking the original images and remaking it, making the width 70, keep the actual visible parts of the avatar at 50, and just make the other 20 pixels of height invisible.

General Security Information / Re: AIM Worm

« on: October 03, 2005, 10:32:11 pm »

Usually my entire personal buddy list is infected by some sort of AIM worm, so I scanned a couple of the files with http://www.virustotal.com. They're usually just trojans that spread through AIM by sending messages like the one posted in this topic to everyone on their buddy list. They probably range anywhere from keyloggers, to just giving users full access to the infected computer.

EDIT: I'm slow at posting. $:-\$
