    Explicit statements are not implying anything other than what they state.

  2. I tell you the truth : gfy

    Again I tell you : gfy


    Since you don't believe in God then you have no arguments with that which is contained within the bible.

  3. "hard" and "easier" are not synonyms for "impossible".

    You are the one who implies that they are.

    "For God, all things are possible." Explicit enough?

  4. I'm with you on most of this, but the living wage is a real issue. I agree compleltely that entry level postions are just that, and should not pay what would be considered a living wage. However, there are thousands of skilled positons that are not paying a decent wage. I can take to in to hundreds of fab shops in the Chicago area and most have really poor wages(10-12 dollars an hour) and benefits are almost nil. Most are manned heavily Hispanic.
    This drives down wages across the board in manufacturing. A journeyman machinist starting at CAT in Joliet pays 16 bucks an hour with their two tier system. That's an absurdly low wage for someone with that skill set. Our shop pays 27 and that is too low IMO. Of course we do provide a company funded pension plan in addition to a 401K, and health care package is 100% company paid. Very unusual for these times.

  5. "easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle"

    BTW - you have to be careful of your bias limiting your thinking.

    Because all you have to do is....

    make a really big needle....... :D

    Explicit statements which imply the impossible, are not implying anything other than what they state.
    Even if you believe they do.

  8. Actually, i believe the phrase eye of a needle referred to narrow mountain passes, not sewing needles. At least I have heard that.

    You mean represent Bible passages as nothing more than a joke. okay.
    The religious idea that religious books say whatever, even when they don't.

    Why wait. Not properly following what's being said can't be stopping you.
