Who cares if it is found or not

Who cares if it is found or not. The Bible clearly teaches us not to “worship” things but worship the Creator. We are to worship God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. It would be far more advantageous to follow the teachings of Scripture rather than going after artifacts that will […]

Ironically, just before I cancelled my Playboy subscription, the articles were about ALL I was reading in it. The pictorials were pretty, sure, but they all look the same. Too perfect, too fake, and on top of it, now all the women are shaving their pubic hair, which makes me feel too much […]

What don’t you get about how bad her vault was? She had a knock for execution when she hit the board, then she tanked the landing and hit her knees. Your telling me that rated a bronze medal?
I understand she had a higher start value, regardless she should have been out of medal […]

Is the new scoring system really that hard for people to understand? Even though they stop to explain it every 20 minutes on NBC? Kudos to the Chinese gymnastics team (and, actually, almost every other team *except* the US) who figured out the system and adapted appropriately to it. A high difficulty score is pretty […]

So nobody here reads the articles in Playboy?
This one is actually funny. FTA:
“The last time falsies and padded bras were this popular — a period that peaked in the fifties and flattened out in the seventies — it was because there was an atmosphere of sexual conservatism and an all-around culture of concealment that […]

What it says at the bottom of the main pic:
England hides its fleet below its skirt, the mastiff Ireland in its back. King Oscar of Sweden is watching Russia curiously. France retreats bravely, while Spain rests in sweet idleness. Belgium - Got ‘im already (?). Germany and Austria-Hungary deal good german blows in all directions. […]

German U-boat Captain: I am making notes, Captain, and your name will go on the list; and when we win the war you will be brought to account.
Captain Mainwaring: You can write what you like, You’re not going to win the war!
U-boat Captain: Oh yes we are.
Mainwaring: Oh no you’re not.
U-boat Captain: Oh yes we […]

Personally I don’t see the problem with these images

Personally I don’t see the problem with these images. Okay, they’re post-processed photos and most of them do not look realistic anymore. But who said that is a requirement? HDR helped create the effect. So what? Maybe it was not what HDR was meant for in the first place, but then again: so what? I […]

“Judged by its carbon footprint, wool may be more benign: Sheep graze freely on unfertilized grass, although their digestion of vegetation produces methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas”
I do NOT think that growing a sheep is more ‘eco friendly’ or efficient than growing hemp.
“And polyester (manufactured from petroleum) may have the smallest impact on […]

Evil-ena
It is the account of two different authors with different focuses. It is not a contradiction but it is the difference in the perception of two different human authors. The fact is that Peter denied Jesus thrice. Before the cock crowed once or twice is immaterial. It is the denial that is significant here, the […]
