Religions pay NO taxes, and i can ASSURE you they have plenty cash that is not reported to followers, i know from experience being a alter boy for years, back then we collected the cash from the baskets and put it in a huge basket behind the alter, i ripped off plenty, so did the priests after mass, they would pocket some right in front of me..
If business paid high taxes they would hire less people and you would pay more for products, BOTH parties know this, its nothing new, Apple is one of the worst offenders of tax dodging.

Plenty of Big Biz pays NO taxes, either.  They, like religions, are swimming in the cash.  They all take the ultimate advantage they can -- Apple is most visible because is's so big.  The reason is because the LAWS enacted make it possible for them to not pay their (according to us) fair share.  The House and Senate are in lockstep with Big Biz.  If they hadn't made it possible and easy to skip out on taxes and (worse, IMO) ship jobs overseas or bring in people on visas for employment here, then it wouldn't be the status quo.  Sadly, it is.

Another big earthquake in Chile?

considering they usually get 7 and up a 6.9 isnt too bad

There would be a paradox if you tried to overlay the claims of two religions on the same reality.

How so? The fact that we have that paradox seems to suggest that it's not a paradox.

This whole show reminds me of Star Trek TNG episode Ship in a Bottle when Moriarty achieved sentience: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_in_a_Bottle_%28Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation%29

You said the word valid.

[Zenman]

Yes, I believe!

the only bug so far ive seen on the xbox one is that the pip boy app wont connect, other then that i haven't seen any frame rate drops, and graphic wise yea the engine is dated but for an open world game it isnt that bad

Anything under 60FPS @ 1440 is unacceptable for me, i gave my Xbox1 away about 3 weeks ago to a kid down the street, i never played it, i may give my PS4 away to the same kid, it just collects dust.
I have no idea why i bought them, curiosity i guess, i have been a PC gamer since the early 90's, actually before that if you count games on the Amiga.
I have a HTPC that i rarely use, i dont watch much TV, sometimes a movie, thats about it, i have Netflix and Amazon Prime, and i rarely use them.

They would be, if the programmer intended for each of them to exist simultaneously. For all we know, after death, Muslims go to their heaven, Christian's go to theirs, Athiests blink out, etc.

[jazmunda]

What if we are the zoo?

Don't be too quick.  He tried to play the game Himself a couple thousand years ago and got His ass handed to Him.

Dude, DOG spelled backwards is GOD.

[FLLFlash]

had to share this, got it via email. Not directed at anyone!

Jim Croce should have fit this into that song. (Don't Mess Around With Jim)

I love this.

It doesn't feel pity or remorse.

And it doesn't judge.

If a paradox is planned and implemented, then a paradox is NOT a paradox, nor is it ironc, ironically.  lol's

No wonder we pick up their poop.

If a religion were valid, it's reality would need to adhere to the claims of it's holy book. Different religions compete on many points, and therefore create paradoxes.

Had to read that one twice and think about it..

[Gumby, Dammit]

I figure just believe whatever helps you along HERE, because we have no control of what happens after.  I choose to believe that I'll see my friends and family and pets on the other side.  I don't really care if that's REALLY what will happen or not, but believing it makes it easier being here without them, if that makes sense.

I love what you said here. Thanks

What if the whole point was conflict? Like an ant farm. Get everyone fighting with each other and then give them what they want when they die?
