Some things just don't line up.

Here's what we know:
- God's love is unconditional
- Jesus died for our sins

God, for whatever reason, decided to create things that were sinful. Later, Jesus died and paid the debt on our sins. However, we must still seek forgiveness for ours sins.

...why? If Jesus' death was to absolve us of our sins, why must we still seek forgiveness? If God's love is truly unconditional, why must we still seek forgiveness for the sins that Jesus died to cleanse us of?

Is hating on arts the new ebin mememay? Been seeing this since 2013.
Well duh, that's because anything non-STEM is objectively terrible and a waste of time and money.

'objectively'

oh boy.
Yes, objectively. Non-STEM majors should be kicked out of schools for wasting space, and be required to sign up for welfare.

ok
That's exactly the kind of thing a liberal arts major would say.

Didn't read, but I can assume someone found this person dead?
The students found the teacher dying, not dead.

A 31-year-old teacher was found hanging in an El Dorado High School classroom Monday morning by several students, police said.

She was found dying by several students entering a classroom around 8:30 a.m. at the school, 1651 Valencia Ave.

"When police and fire arrived the teacher was in cardiac arrest," police Lt. Eric Pointe said. "After several minutes she was declared deceased at the scene."

She was removed from the classroom before Orange County Fire Authority and Fullerton Fire Department officials arrived, OCFA Capt. Steve Concialdi said.

"Firefighter paramedics attempted CPR and advanced life-saving techniques before she was declared dead at the scene," Concialdi said.

Investigators suspect the teacher hung herself in the classroom, Pointe said.

Her name was not immediately due to pending family notification.

Some students left the campus in tears starting around 10 a.m. Monday morning and the entire student body was released an hour later.

Grief counselors were made available for students and teachers, Pointe said.

« on: March 01, 2015, 11:11:03 PM »
lol fucking California.

Getting closer and closer to 1984 level of government control.
Of course you don't like it. You're one of the fucks who is part of the problem.

Because I believe in freedom of the body?

The government should have zero authority in saying you MUST put something inside your body. That just seems crazy to me. And if you deny my child entrance to the public schools that I pay for? You're not getting my tax dollars.
Because you play up the "freedom of the body" bullshit when what you're really doing is promoting a public health risk and putting your child at risk of catching a disease we should be rid of by now if it weren't for people like you.
I'd love to know what makes you think you, or any other person, has the right to dictate what goes into another person's body, especially considering you are a supporter of abortion rights.

If you do not believe in bodily autonomy, I'm interested in knowing on what grounds you see abortion as justified.
It's a public health issue, not a freedom issue. These people are a danger to those who cannot be vaccinated. I'm not speaking metaphorically.

there wasn't already a law against it? there should always be laws in place like this to prevent stupid people from endangering others.
nope, previously you could claim "personal belief" exemption and not need to vaccinate your kid.

Last Thursday, a state law was introduced that, if passed, will eliminate the “personal belief” exception to California’s vaccination law.

Right now, under California law there are two ways to get out of having a child vaccinated: one is if you have a medical reason, and two is if you have a “personal belief” that prevents vaccination. The law proposed last week would leave that medical exception in place and get rid of that “personal belief” part.

The lawmaker who authored the bill is State Senator Richard Pan, who is also a doctor. He’s concerned about the outbreak of measles in California since December and the high numbers of people opting out of vaccines using the personal belief exemption.

The law as it is written so far does not have any religious exemption. And one might not be required. According to a 1944 U.S. Supreme Court case, “the right to practice religion freely does not include liberty to expose the community or the child to communicable disease or the latter to ill health or death.” In fact, West Virginia and Mississippi do not have religious exemptions.

To be clear: the police don’t come to your house and check to make sure children are vaccinated. In California we find out about a child’s vaccination status when you try to enroll them in school.

Legally, you can’t enroll children in school without vaccinations or an exemption. So, let’s assume that the personal belief exemption goes away, parents could still avoid vaccination by homeschooling their children. But that would still probably be a smaller number.

I believe that some version of it will pass. It already has 26 sponsors, mostly Democrats, but 2 Republicans have also signed on. Politically, here’s what’s most important: for years there has been a small, vocal group of parents who oppose vaccination and there wasn’t a huge “pro-vaccination” outcry. But that has all changed. In recent months, there has been an uproar of pro-vaccine voters demanding higher rates of vaccination and and politicians are paying attention. It’s not just California, either – lawmakers in Washington and Oregon are considering closing some vaccine exemptions as well.

I think this is great. The only people unvaccinated should be those who are medically unable to be vaccinated.

Things are pretty calm and stable in my life right now. Now that I'm done with school, a related job, and the girlfriend wont be local for another year or two, it's mostly just coasting right now.

I have a couple weddings to go to in the next few months, but that's about it.

I'm only on episode 4 but I think the America Works program is a really good idea. It's true what he says about needing to do something you don't like to make the country better.

it's like in Utah where they give homeless people homes instead of welfare benefits. When they have a home that can take care of themselves and work on their own.

« on: February 28, 2015, 10:58:50 PM »
Personally I don't understand why we constantly have to bring religion up here.

I think it's quite obvious where most of you stand, that being the "huehuehue look at the unenlightened religious neanderthals huehue" stance. We get it. You don't have to keep shoving it in everyone's face.

Also, I hope you guys comprehend how utterly pretentious and all around unpleasant you come across as when you create entire threads based around mocking those with religious beliefs, and similar activities. Hell, you even act like this to Rocket at times, one of the most tolerant and kind members of this community.

Some people have a belief in a higher moral authority. Fuck them, right??

Grow up.
I genuinely don't mind people who are religious. I have a problem with people who tell me I'm wrong because I don't believe in God, or push that (x) is wrong because God/The Bible.

I thought they made it to where accounts required an XBL or PS profile that has played on the systems now?
That's only for #Destiny and #Feedback I believe.
Well that's dumb. You can't post to either unless your GT is linked to your account, so that wouldn't really solve any of the problems with accounts. #community and #offtopic are where the problems are.
