o/ OMFG and i may as well... o/ Ninjas oh and o/ Calderone

disappointed again by wF. however it's nice seeing IRON still up there with no dots.

cmon wF! what happened to all that great growth you guys were having? also nice gain by GATO. way to stay ahead of us.

meh wF was my fav choice anyway. so i dont mind seeing them get the spot.

not to mention the fact that he also appeared to Paul(at the time Saul) who was a major skeptic of Christianity and even was going as far as to put people in jail/have them killed for believing it.

Jeremiah 17:9 also says: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it? Basically, everything a person does (whether a Christian or not) is going to be tainted in some way with sin. Even the "good" things.

it is related though. if what's written in the Bible, in particular the New Testament, is historically accurate...then Jesus really lived. He really said what he said. He really died on a cross. And He really rose again from the dead 3 days later. And that carries a lot of religious significance.

Touché GATO.

[quote name='ChairmanHal' timestamp='1289850177' post='2513717']No, I have come to the same place Admin is at this point. We force huge reparations of people and then expect them to happily stick around for 6 months to a year doing nothing but paying off their bill until they can perhaps rejoin the world stage or disband their alliance and break up their community in order to move on. Overwhelmingly they do not, and our numbers get a bit smaller each time. If you are fighting wars the right way around here, you build up, go break things and get broken, and before you pound each other into sawdust, you shake hands and walk away, and build up again. In between, there is plenty of time for politics and shifting alliances between factions. Those that don't want to be part of the loop form neutrals and watch it all eating popcorn usually, at least for a good while. That's how it should work. Many of us sadly are doing it wrong.

we ride to war! o/ IRON o/ TPF o/ CC

*cough*bump*cough* IRON is awesome. and i dont mean in that "oh everything is awesome" kind of awesome. i mean the old meaning of awesome: something awe inspiring. something so amazing that it makes you stand, mouth hanging open, at just how great it is. you are humbled by the simple fact that you are allowed to see it, and being a part of it just blows your mind. yes we are that awesome.
