Recently someone that ridicules the Bible said they had not read the Bible as they already know that the Bible is only fantasy. I know that I often come off offensive when people are attacking the Bible and I know I should not, even the Bible speaks against my doing that. I feel that some opposers may be sincere while others may just like to argue, ridicule, have an agenda or whatever. Anyway, for the sincere:Can you trust the Bible?Historical Soundness

Glad I signed on today. I really like questions that make me think and can relate to on a human level. I suddenly remembered why I enjoy chat groups. :)

High income but < $200,00 per year start buying shares of stock, artificially inflating the market values. The really big guys stay out.2. Bubble bursts...major sell-offs, thus prices drop.3. When the market settles at a MUCH lower level, the big guys buy up everything, thus creating a slow rebound. 4. The VERY wealthy become even more wealthy and the mid-wealthy lose out.5. Inflation kicks in and we po'folks pay more for stuff.6. Corporations ride it out by cutting jobs.

Now they are sewn on the back of the shirt so removing them requires a seam-ripper and you risk putting a hole in the shirt. Some tags are even printed on, but they are still itchy!
Coincidence? Am I a smart investor or just lucky? The fund includes outstanding large-cap growth stocks such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.

Was it a black box defect? Was the engineer controlling the train or was it all electronically done and caused by system defect?

Not everyone is in their $1000 shoes. For the rest of you who are either barefoot or wear cheap shoes how will it affect you?

Holdout Sen. Bob Corker (R) Tenn. is a wealthy real estate investor who will now vote YES on "cut cut cut". Both deny that Hatch doing that had anything to do with the Corker vote switch flip. Do you believe that? Seriously? SIGH. So it's true that everyone or at least EVERY POL has a price. Some pretend they don't and play all noble-like and righteous but they do. You just have to find out what it is and pay it. SIGH.
Which is worse? Being mentally lazy or physically lazy? Being both means you are definitely a loser doesn't it? Certainly you don't want lazy to be in charge of anything important.

Lies take planning and remembering to whom you told which lie and the chances that you get caught and outed grow greater the more you lie. It complicates your life, your reputation, your everything. So why do people lie who are very lazy otherwise?

With TRUTH one ought not do so. Some confuse truth with fantasy. Conflate the two. Confuse the two. View them as being interchangeable on a whim or to fit a particular dogma script of a specific ideology. The Truth and Fantasy are separate/distinct/apart. Why is it so hard for some to get it straight? Why do they believe the fantastic lies and discard the simple truth? less

Some humans breed like rabbits. Some are as hard to get rid of as cockroaches. The elephant in the room is never about something good. Being compared to a bull...bully/bullsh**? Not so hot is it? Snakes poison, tigers maul. And so it goes. Why is this what humans do? D'ya think the animals use us to insult one another? Girlyman is a particular favorite perhaps? SIGH. less

I don't know if I stated that accurately but anyone gets the gist of it. Donald duck is good guy. The nephews are cute. Uncle Scrooge has some charm especially at Christmas. Who hates ducks and why? T he Duck Blind guys?

Someone online once said that I have ADHD! If I hadn’t been being honest and open then i would have paid no attention to this diagnosis from a stranger, but when you put yourself on the line a train will come at some point.

Do you have a MASTER in whom you believe so firmly nothing anyone says/does/proves can dissuade you in your devotion? If you do what did your MASTER say/do to turn you into a believer/follower/subject/pawn? Are you happy following that master? Is your life richer for it? Are you a "better" person for it? Define "better" if you can. :(
