Did the Serpent Lie?
by CyrusThePersian inin john 8:44 jesus is quoted as saying that the devil is a "liar and the father of the lie.
" an obvious reference to the serpent story in genesis chapter 3.
(the johannine community, responsible for the gospel of john, the epistles of 1, 2, 3 john and revelation, was among the first to equate the serpent of genesis with satan, see rev.

My favorite argument NO the serpent wasn't lieing he/it was telling the truth!
One of the things I love about the bible, you cant get out of the book of genesis without some major flaws to the god/man relationship coming up!

Just had a Drew estate Java while kicking it with my best friend. That was a really nice cigar!
Initial draw was a sweet coffee flavor ver clean draw. The smoke was just as good but got real peppery at the end. Diffenitly a smoke I would buy again. Actually that was my 2nd choice I was in the mood for a kuba kuba but they were out.

Is it me, but does it seem that your genuine happiness drives them a bit nuts?
YEP!!!
This is why I always tell people when interacting with dubs and they ask that inevitable question of what hall you go to get THE biggest Kool-aide smile you can muster and say I no longer go to the hall!

Personal Paradigm Shifts
by freeflyingfaerie indo you find yourself, since leaving the religion, having an exhorbitant amount of personal paradigm shifts?.
sometimes i question my sanity.. i feel so open to ideas...don't know where to start sometimes.. don't feel dogmatic about too many things...maybe feel that it just 'isn't for me'...at least for right now (lol).... but in all of this, i never tire of these epiphanies and spontaneous feelings of gratefulness and love.. .
does anyone else out there experience this ?.

Meteor shower tonight!
by BrentR intonight and into tomarrow morning is the annual perseids meteor shower.
this year will be great viewing since the moon will not be up to drown out the meteors.
the activity should start peeking around midnight and you want to be looking northeast.. early next month a very rare shower (the aurigids) that astronomers know very little about.. read more here:.

How can I best view the Perseids meteor shower?
The Perseids have been observed by humans for about 2000 years, with the earliest knowledge of their existence emerging from the Far East. It is one of the finest meteor showers to observe, producing up to 60-100 bright, fast, and colorful meteors per hour during their peak. This annual meteor shower is active from July 17th through August 24th, and usually peaks on August 11 and 12.
Perseids is extremely consistent in its timing and can potentially be observable for several weeks in the summer sky, conditional on your whereabouts, lighting conditions, and weather. Meteor showers are commonly named after their radiant point, the perspective point in the sky from which the meteors appear to come from. In the case of Perseids, it is named after the constellation Perseus, which is positioned in approximately the same point in which the Perseids meteor shower appears to originate from.
While this summer spectacular appears to radiate from a constellation, they are actually caused by the Earth passing through the dust particles of the comet Swift-Tuttle. Each summer, Earth passes into a trail of dust left by this comet, and as a result, all the dust and debris burning up in our atmosphere, travelling at a very fast 132,000 miles per second (59 km/s), produces the spectacle known as the Perseids meteor shower, or what are popularly recognized as "shooting stars". There's no danger to sky watchers, though. The fragile grains disintegrate long before they reach the ground.
While the meteors are certainly bright, they are typically not much larger than a grain of sand. However, as they travel at immense speeds, these tiny particles put on an impressive show. Due to the way the comet's orbit is tilted, dust from the Swift-Tuttle falls on Earth's northern hemisphere. Unfortunately, this leads to extremely low visibility for those in Australia, New Zealand, and portions of South America.
In 2013, the Waxing Crescent moon occurring on August 12 will not have a negative impact on the visibility of the Perseids. Due to the lack of bright moonlight, the fainter meteors will not be concealed from view. It is advisable to observe the meteor shower during the predawn hours on the mornings of August 11, 12, and even the 13th. With up to 60-100 meteors per hour predicted, observers may catch plenty of bright meteors streaking along in the light of the moon.
How do I know the sky is dark enough to see meteors?If you happen to live near a brightly lit city, if possible, we recommend that you drive away from the glow of city light. After you've escaped the glow of the city, find a dark, safe, and possibly isolated spot where oncoming vehicle headlights will not occasionally ruin your sensitive night vision. Look for state or city parks or other safe dark-sites.
Once you have settled down at your observation spot, look approximately half way up the sky facing northeast. This way you can have the Perseids' radiant within your field of view. Looking directly up at the sky or into the radiant is not recommended since this is just the point in which they appear to come from. You are more likely to see a trail when looking slightly away from this point. Looking half-way up into the sky will lead to the best show in the house!
