  1. I use the alt fire when I am in close battle. It takes more health off than regular fire, but as has already been said, it isn't so accurate.
  2. Boston Heights... is that near Cleveland?
  3. blah... he can have my thread... I never liked it anyway. /walks aways sniffling
  4. cults always try to make me their leader

    Pets.

    cute. I like how it goes from puppy... puppy... BIG DOG.
  6. heh.. yeah... crowbar is right.. I guess I just never use it.
  7. I am not from the west coast, but I work second shift, so those times are best for me... unless of course it is a sunday.
  8. btw, if you want to see the Camel Spider in action... here is a link with a video.
  9. yeah.. camel spiders are not poisonous, but they cause their harm by: 1. SHOCK from being bit (imagine a spider the size of an adult male hand on your arm, taking a bite). 2. infection from the bight. Either way, I will be happy to NEVER have to see one of these bad boys in real life. Around here, we have wolf spiders. They get about 2inch long, and tend to find their way into your home... taking a shoe to them is nerve racking. If you miss, they run so fast you will never catch them... and than you have a ticked off BIG spider in your house.
  10. I was assuming you would join TWL. However, most leauges will have you select a time zone. Of course, most ladders will not have a time zone, because you schedule the match yourself. So, I guess the better question would be, at what time/day would you schedule/play most of the matches (if you have an idea already)?
  11. wake up next to this: if you dont like spiders... dont click on this It is called a camel spider, and our boys have to deal with that!
  12. Just wondering if there was an idea of what time zone you would join for competition.
  13. ok. I just know that some ppl get angry when ppl quote them. The mood was light though (IMO)... I never intend to make anyone angry, and I would stop if/when I did/do.... though I don't mind taking jabs when I am jabbed at... er, that is kind of contradicting. What I mean is, just short of name calling, I will stop. Usually in debate ppl like to silence the competition with a quick jab that seems strong... it isn't really anger, just an attempt to silence their counterpart. I like to debate, as it gives me another person's view. I just assume other ppl are capable of a discussion that isn't personal (until proven otherwise).
  14. ah.. ok, no quotes than. I gave the example of the sun god to show that the rituals are simular, not to infer that he is praying to the sun god. But now we are just discussing semantics. As far as Dec 25th goes, I was not here at the time to know that discussion had taken place. Although, my point to bring it up was to show that the church used that date for a reason, and attempt to at least make you (or anyone esle) wonder why. Again, I imagine you fellas have already covered that, and as you have said, it is OT. "Deep Basis" I think is rather accurate. Though I can agree to disagree as we both seem to feel strongly in this area, and any further links I provide will more then likely be dismissed as a stretch. Yet this is the area you can agree on to a limit, and was the area I had thought you had chalked up to complete myth. I also brought up the issue of previous religions because you said: "If there was factual evidence for some of the stuff he has in there then it would be readily available." Obviously I can not answer your question of the Mona Lisa, Last Super, or MM, because I am not the artist... and no one has ever been able to answer the same questions you have asked.... and yet the fact does remain that those ARE possiblities proposed by the public. Even still, if all of the ideals of the books paintings were proven to be true, what difference would it make? It is simply a painting by an artist.
  15. What part of it is wrong? You just agreed there is no known birth date. So, you have to wonder, why Dec. 25th? Where did I say that? And that was (one of) the points in the book. That modern religion has a deep basis of that of previous religions; he further explains in the book the reason for such a phenomenon. Of course this is from your own personal perspective. You asked for me to give evidence of facts of the book. I have provided such evidence, which has lead us to discuss those points. Perhaps if you wish to discuss those issues in further detail, you should create another thread. edit: quotes were not working.
  16. Right. I did say I could provide evidence depending where the issue with the book was. Like any book of fiction, there are some facts, and yes, they are readily available. The book describes the Catholic religion being built upon religions of the past. Here is an example (with pictures): a pagan Canaanite cultic pillar or "matstsebah" showing hands raised in praise to the sun disk. This was BEFORE the catholic religion. Look closely, and you will see it is the SAME thing. Further fact found in the book is the idea that alot of Catholics believe Jesus was born on Dec 25. There is no evidence of the day Jesus was born, however, there is a reason that Dec 25 was used. Pagan festivals in honor of the Roman God, Saturn, were celebrated during the month of December. These Pagan symbols are even used to this day in Catholism. A perfect example is found in this link
  17. oh, and there are plenty of ppl who do suggest alot of the same of Magdalene. Here is just such an example: link. Though again, it is just one person's idea... but a worthy perspective none the less.
  18. Ah... I thought that is where you were making your issues with the book. (btw, he never said she was the daughter of God. He said she was the wife of Jesus). First off, I would like evidence that proves she was not. You see, the issue at hand is a matter of faith. Unfortionatly, you can not dispute the fact she was, or was not, nor can I prove (with out a doubt) the same. Again, this is a rather well documented hypothesis. Was the portrait of Magdalene? Would it really matter if it was? This is "just" a painting by an artist, and like most paintings, permits you to decide what it is about (unless the author tells you). I have looked at the picture, and I can see where it looks like a women. BUT, again, this painting is no different than that of the above.
  19. I don't know that it is set at exactly one minute. I just know it doesn't take me very long to let the dog out and return to my pc.
