I'm guessing not the night before, so that leaves me out.

I've got a question for the Co-op form: who should I put as my referees? I'm thinking my German teacher and some other person who can verify my sanity. What kind of people do they want?

I've got two questions to go for the Co-op, and I need to get my school report thingy for the USYD one (those are the only two I'm applying for). I've given the Co-op assessment form to my school for them to fill out, and they'll be sending it in. I'm hoping to send the Co-op stuff off tomorrow...

Yes.

It has always seemed to me like a concept which people pretend to understand, so they can disregard the idea that Christianity may just be a polytheistic religion. What about when Jesus is praying to God, asking him favors etc.? Isn't he praying to himself? Then of course, you'll reply with...

Please explain to me the Trinity, because I have never been able to understand it. Whenever I ask someone, it's always like: Them: "well, ya see, it's like this: God is three but he is one." Me: "So he's three?" Them: "Yup. And one?" Me: "So does that mean God sent himself to die on the cross?"...

Huge and largely irrelevant - no offense. All those sources proved was that there was most likely a man named Jesus, and that there was a rumour of his having magical powers... this is hardly evidence upon which one should base their faith. There were rumours that Julius Caeser was the son of...

I'm sorry, what? Context?! If these are God's laws, then context should not play a part in the matter, otherwise what you are saying is that God is subject to his context. In the old testiment, God told people to stone gays. This is wrong - plain and simple. Why can we not condemn him for things...

The first 3 "deeds" you've named aren't condemned much in the bible... No one is good enough for God's laws? We're not "good enough" for stoning gays and doing various, terrible things to women for acts/thoughts of lust? No, sir, it is not the case that we are not good enough for these...

I did not say that we derive our ethics from god - I said that you people say that we do. We were created without sin, but then we brought sin into the world...? That means that God created us to bring sin in the world - this is the only logical conclusion. Even if all God did was allow us to...

Re: Adv english and engineering mainly English. I'm so slow at writing... hopefully that will be cured through practice essays in the two weeks of stuvac.

Even funnier than that is the fact that many of the people who were assumed to be felons in Florida were in fact just people with a similar name or the same birth date as people who were felons. This was due to the fucked up system implemented by JEB Bush, brother of Bush the second and governor...

Yeah, Howard outwits them all / sarcasm

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that there is a direct quote in the Deuteronomy telling people to stone gays, and one in Leviticus about eye-gouging... I'll look it up in my NIV later. People can indeed be selfish, violent and horny. But they can also be the polar opposite of those things (except...

Hmmm, what I'm afraid of in the scenario of 16 year olds voting is their parents not just influencing who they vote for, but controlling who they vote for. Would it be possible to make sure that the parents have no way of knowing who their children voted for? I can just imagine some of the...

This plus all that damn procrastination.

It's more likely that ethics created religion than religion created ethics. For me, that simply means that religion is necessary in society to propegate pre-existing morals and values. For this reason, I am not an anti-theist, just an athiest. Morals have developed over the last 2000 years...

Re: What was your first thought this morning when you saw the red/orange sky? Yeah, well... I was sleepy. An apocalypse seemed plausible at the time.

English - meh, I've done some practice essays and am currently revising my generic ones. Maths - 2-3 HSC, 5-6CSSA MX1 - 2 CSSA German - all available German ext - new course, just doing random Qs Physics - 0 (hoping to do 2001-2007 in the 2 weeks of Stuvac) I'm kind of anxious as to the number...

Re: What was your first thought this morning when you saw the red/orange sky? I was like "fuck, I didn't realise my curtains did that..." Then I opened the curtains and freaked out, first thinking it was some generic apocolypse shit, then chemical warfare, then the sun cooling down. Then I...
