  1. I had heard there was video evidence. I guess the video evidence is being sequestered in a back room somewhere waiting for the trial? It's amazing everything else will leak but not a video showing the truth one way or another.
  2. And we wonder why we are filled with microplastics. I can smell the BPA.
  3. I mean, I can't even be too upset. The Warriors just have the Rockets number.
  4. Sengun is good but he's not him. Should have let the hot hand FVF shoot.
  5. Poor man's Jamie Fox just limped 4 mph to the basket.
  6. I mean as it is he's going to have a 15 year career in this era. Not many players can say that.
  7. I really like Amen Thompson, but he's gotta play better.
  8. Well that worked out well, in hindsight.
  9. Dillon Brooks continues to be an idiot. Water is wet.
  10. Never Eat Soggy Waffles, bruv.
  11. Boa Steak (a California chain, how on brand for Downtown Austin). Decent, not worth the $300 price tag for two with house wine. Cool location and atmosphere tho. https://www.boasteak.com/
  12. You think the way to winning over hearts and minds of folks is to....checks notes....lie to them? We really are broken as a people.
  13. That’s tough!!!
  14. Agreed. But desperate regimes do desperate things, like needlessly escalating.
  15. It’s what I believe because I’ve experienced it. If you haven’t, that’s okay too. Your post reminded me of a famous quote I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
  16. Yes. God (and even Jesus despite the hippie-fiction of him in the West) is violent. And perfect. There is a time to kill, as the old proverb goes.
  17. You sell him short he’s a much much smarter force.
  18. Which CAP school did she have to go to first to transfer in? I'm guessing UTEP by the username?
  19. If you aren't a Christian, I think you can make up whatever you want in regards to those questions. But I actually think that, again back to the biblical illiteracy among Christians, the bible doesn't give a great (or clear cut) answer to idea of heaven (and hell, for that matter) for those who profess to believe in the triune God of the bible in the vein of what Bozo is trying to communicate, but it does talk about it for your study, meditation, prayer and contemplation. I think the idea that you go to a concept of heaven up in the atmosphere away from earth and see all your friends and family and reunite is pretty widely accepted to be false. I think you might not even know your wife or husband or child or best friend, in the temporal sense we know them now, but it's a return to the shalom (the completeness, unbrokenness) that was how God intended...and we commune and abide with God and so we don't care. But even before getting to that point, I believe the bible tells us that are to wait until our messiah returns before the offer of heaven (saved or not) is open to us. I've heard it variously called Sheol, but purgatory is a common term for the idea as well. I'm not 1000% on these matters, but I do think there are Christian answers to these questions for Christian believers, for those who have done the eschatology and other proper study and readings (and not just zoned out in sunday school or sunday sermons).
