There is a difference between stating that you agree with something (eg that God exists) and actually believing that thing.

If God exists, and if God's requirements to 'get in to heaven' are simply that you believe he exists, then he will know that you don't even tho you say you do. So are you really hedging your bets?

During one of her daily classes, a teacher trying to teach good manners, asked her students the following question:

"Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?"

Michael said, "Just a minute I have to go pee."

The teacher responded by saying, "That would be rude and impolite. What about you, Sherman, how would you say it?"

Sherman said, "I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back."

"That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table."

"And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners?"

"I would say, 'Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce you to after dinner.'"

The teacher fainted.

so this is a direct questioning of my direct views, as opposed to views on teh whole. what i said before was to explain to people why i think believing in religion is correct.

once u get past this stage, what u do is up to you. every church my mother has brought me to has said bascially 'accept jesus into ure heart, and youre good to go'. i hoenstly havent put enough work into figuring how much more than this there is, but i have also considered that its something that can either be instantaneous for some, but also take a lifetime for others.


edit: my basic conclusion is that they mean that u have to love jesus. so its teh same with love. u can love at first sight or you can grow to love someone and still have the end result that you'd love them equally as much.

What kind of poly sci are you studying Orange? I can understand the social psych, that would probably drive me nuts.

But poly sci always kind of fascinated me, even though it had nothing to do with my major I took 4 different classes because I enjoyed the subject so much.

Anybody know anything about desks?

I need one. I obv. spend a lot of time on the computer, but I also do a lot of reading/writing. So, I need something that's decent for spreading books/papers out on. I was tempted to just get a table, but this looks awesome:

Ergonomic adjustable desk

So .. anybody know a good desk?
