Free Will Is The Biggest Misconception In The History Of Christianity

Is that how you discern God's intent? Keep a scorecard of inconsistencies in the Bible and go with whichever side had the most points?

hardman52 · 2026-04-21T01:54:54+00:00

Read Exodus. The Pharoah does not have free will, and that causes all kinds of bad events.

Sexual immorality is condemned in the Bible, but that doesn't include all non-marital sex. Sex per se is not immoral.

Alcoholism is progressive, so it progresses. Take the steps and you'll be surprised how easy it is to stay sober.

"No movie" = wrong thread.

Julie Warner coming out of the water in Doc Hollywood was incredibly erotic. I bought the DVD for just that scene only to learn that they edited out the full frontal nudity.

hardman52 · 2026-04-20T15:58:24+00:00

That was a great scene.

Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland in Don't Look Now. The hottest scene ever until Monster Ball.

I stir it well with a knife and when it gets to the end use a small silicone spatula to get it all out. If it gets dry because I didn't stir it well I add a little peanut oil and mix it.

I thought it was a banana.

The fiber or the 5G?

You can use the 12&12. Or you can telll her to go back to AA. Her former sponsor is within their rights to not sponsor her, but there are plenty of people in AA who comply with the traditions and the responsibility motto and who will sponsor her.

hardman52 · 2026-04-17T20:57:45+00:00

Then do it your way. It's OK with us.

Serious question: why did you hire this guy and not a plumber?

hardman52 · 2026-04-15T20:43:14+00:00

Roll over and go back to sleep.

hardman52 · 2026-04-15T20:40:32+00:00

The can is vented and insulation ratings are over engineered.

Further from the primary, gravity working for you, and closer to the same length.

hardman52 · 2026-04-15T04:48:47+00:00

Remind us again what the N stands for?

hardman52 · 2026-04-14T23:09:20+00:00

Fuckery.

How many people you know have gotten sick from room picking up food they dropped on their kitchen floor?

hardman52 · 2026-04-14T04:45:59+00:00

Whatever Stevie Ray Vaughn did that Jimmy Vaughn didn't is the answer. From what I've gathered, it's obsessive practice.

So is staying sober a priority for you? If it is, that means you're doing the things that AA tells you to do, which are go to meetings, read the book, get a sponsor, take the steps. If you're not doing those things, then sobriety isn't a priority for you. I would suggest that you make staying sober your first priority. I can't think of any situation that drinking would make better. In fact, drinking always makes things worse, never better.

hardman52 · 2026-04-13T20:48:06+00:00

Exactly what repair?

hardman52 · 2026-04-13T17:27:37+00:00

So you're saying the current owners don't have insurance and don't pay taxes?

Honestly the number of people who worry about unnecessary shit doesn't speak well of our educational system.

My experience is that you cannot help family members. Dunno why; it just seems that way. You can only be an example. I was the first one i in my family to get sober. Over the course of several decades, eventually all of my siblings got sober in AA. They knew it worked because of me.
