Actually it doesn't. One could conceivably be all-powerful but not exceptionally intelligent.
To all the people who found something bad to say about the truth I presented on the hell of the churches of men :
C'mon SHIN, join the dark side! You could be the new atheist evangelist! God will never know what hit him.
Quote from: jetson on December 21, 2012, 05:34:09 PMC'mon SHIN, join the dark side! You could be the new atheist evangelist! God will never know what hit him.LOL, I'll think about that.
I love how Shin post the ramblings of some random dude on the internet like it is supposed to be special. Of all the stuff you say that annoys me shin - this crap tops the charts by far.
SHIN, I think you are being a bit unfair with us. I hope you can see what I mean once I explain. WE do not assert that there is a hell. Therefore WE do not ACTUALLY believe that people are tortured forever. It seems that at least in regards to the latter you and the atheists agree, in a sense. However, it can't possibly escape your notice that the overwhelming majority of people who identify as Christians DO believe that hell is in fact a place of eternal torture. It seems to be the prevailing belief in Christianity. You can't overlook this. It has been preached in churches for over a thousand years, and whether or not it is the One True Christian Truth, it is what most believers believe and churches teach. This belief has been used to terrorize an uncountable number of children and ignorant people, and is contemptible for that reason. Again, it seems that at least to some extent, we also agree on this. However, your basis of objection is solely "That's not true!". Our objection is that it is EVIL. Now, you assure us that YOUR version of the Christian God is a kinder, gentler Jesus, who doesn't send you into a lake of fire forever, he just sends you there once, and your soul is roasted out of existence. See? What a nice guy! And the only thing that makes any difference is whether or not you accept Jesus to be your savior. I honestly don't know how you think that this sick and twisted and evil alternative is a GOOD one. It could perhaps be argued that it is a BETTER one, kind of like the rapist who says " I won't rape you forever, just this once. Aren't I a nice guy?". I don't mean to offend any victims of sexual abuse, but merely mean to demonstrate the type of wickedness that SHIN is offering to us as "salvation". And SHIN doesn't even notice the inherent selfishness and callousness of the whole deal. By PRAISING the death of an innocent man, you can gain eternal life. I don't see how a God who deliberately invents such a sadistic and masochistic system in order to appease his own bruised ego can possibly be considered worthy of worship, let alone good or moral in any form. Can someone please explain to me how or when "Satan" has done anything worse than this?SHIN, I think you can realize that there is just no POINT in your arguing with us about hell at this point. Regardless of whether or not you or the billions of other Christians who disagree with you are right, the system you people offer us is disgusting, immoral, an insult to human dignity and is inhibiting the progress of our species, just as religious believe HAS ALWAYS DONE. It serves to motivate people to slaughter others like in Rwanda where Catholic leaders encouraged and in some cases even oversaw the massacres that occurred there. I know you are not a Catholic (Thank God, right? ) , but your level of self righteous fervor is precisely the same. The afterlife alternative that you offer is still an evil one, and it is therefore on that basis that we reject it too.

Of all the stuff you say that annoys me shin - this crap tops the charts by far.It doesn't annoy but makes me feel sorry for the guy. He actually believes all this copy/pasting works. Who's going to tell him1. We've seen it all before?And 2. It doesn't work?-Nam
Uuuhhhmmm... there's nothing I an say to that nice post. Except for the rapist analogy thingy...
Quote from: SHIN KAIRI on December 22, 2012, 09:56:33 AMUuuhhhmmm... there's nothing I an say to that nice post. Except for the rapist analogy thingy... Nothing you can say to that? So you agree that your belief system is in fact evil? <checkmate>
No. It just means that there is nothing I can say. What do you want me to say?PS : I never get checkmated buddy.
It might not work, but I'm pretty sure you hadn't seen it before. Tell me of one person that has ever been here that knew about trumpetcallofgod.com
Shin,I've researched and found that the "Prophet" you speak of is named Timothy Rathbun.Is this him?http://www.homefacts.com/offender-detail/NY21231/Timothy-Rathbun.html
Quote from: SHIN KAIRI on December 22, 2012, 10:30:24 AMNo. It just means that there is nothing I can say. What do you want me to say?PS : I never get checkmated buddy. Well you could start by explaining why you have an evil belief system.

Below a noisy flyover alongside Hong Kong's Happy Valley racecourse, there's a little-noticed green oasis stretching up the hillside, punctuated by imposing Victorian chest tombs, granite obelisks and delicate angels. This is Hong Kong cemetery, the last resting place of the early settlers who colonized the island, starting in the 1840s.
For my mother, Patricia Lim, the cemetery is a repository of the island's early untold early history.
"I was fascinated by the way Hong Kong had grown up, and nobody knew anything about it," she says. "All Hong Kong history is here. And Hong Kong people never realized. And almost nobody ever visited it."
She decided to remedy that by spending the past decade penning her love letter to the graveyard. This is my mother's third book about Hong Kong, and her most ambitious yet.
By the time she finished, her initial idea for a simple pamphlet about the cemetery had grown into a 600-page book, Forgotten Souls: A Social History of the Hong Kong Cemetery, which retells the story of Hong Kong through the lives of those buried in Happy Valley.
Portrait Of Life On 'A Barren Rock'
Nowadays, these overgrown memorials are pretty much all that remain of those lives. These were not the elite — the colonial governors and administrators — but the ordinary people who built Hong Kong and gave their lives to do so: the merchants and missionaries, the opium traders and auctioneers, the prostitutes and pirates.
"Their stories were not told before I wrote my book," my mother says. "It's a social history. It's a history of the ordinary people."
The earliest graves belong to those who died during the first Opium War (1839-1842), which ended with Hong Kong's ceding to the British.
The very first memorial is a handsome pillar topped with an urn belonging to British Lt. Benjamin Fox, who died in 1841 after a cannonball shattered his leg as he was trying to capture high land north of Guangzhou — which lies across the modern-day border between Hong Kong and mainland China — during a skirmish in the first Opium War.
Despite the loss of lives on their part, the British were not impressed with their new acquisition. British Foreign Secretary Lord Palmerston described the island of Hong Kong as "a barren rock with nary a house upon it," and concluded, incorrectly as we now know, "It will never be a mart for trade."
The lives of the early settlers were precarious, often ending prematurely and brutally. One police constable, Ernest Goucher, died in 1915 after a tiger mauled him. Others met their end in similarly gruesome fashion: being shot by pirates, hijacked by bandits and poisoned by bread laced with arsenic.
More numerous still were the victims of disease, particularly cholera and dysentery, though even sunstroke was a killer in those days. The average life expectancy of a colonial policeman in the late 19th century was just 31 years.
Dodgy Characters, Model Missionaries
Untimely deaths have become a stock-in-trade for my mother, who mapped the cemetery's 8,000 graves, recording their epitaphs and tracing their stories through contemporaneous newspaper accounts, letters home and diaries.
It's not the familiar story of today's city of verve, entrepreneurialism and shiny skyscrapers. It's a tale of a rough-and-tumble place that — as one inhabitant, Richard Collinson, described it in 1844 — "has been built almost in a day," much of it by dodgy characters.
Men like Charles Markwick, described by my mother as "a swashbuckler, who owned riverboats, had a tavern, had a shop, was an auctioneer and a smuggler. He was so rich he ate off beautifully embossed silver plates."
He was strangled in his bed in 1857, and his murderer was hanged, after the British threatened to bombard the village sheltering him.
But many settlers led model lives, such as Henrietta Shuck from Kilmarnock, Va., the first Western woman to set foot in Hong Kong. The American missionary arrived there, newly married at age 17.
She died a decade later in 1844, as her epitaph sums up, "in the prime of life, in the midst of her labors and in the meridian of her usefulness."
Shuck died of exhaustion, my mother says. And no wonder: She gave birth to five children, managed a household of 37 people and taught in the newly established school. She also concerned herself with the well-being of others, and described the condition of the wives of Western soldiers in Hong Kong as being "worse than that of the slaves in Virginia."
Life was so hard back then, my mother calculated, that female missionaries, on average, died after only four years in Hong Kong.
'Not A Sexy Subject'
My mother's fascination with the graveyard isn't shared by my father, Lim Poh Chye.
"As a Chinese, this is not my kind of thing," he says of the cemetery, which he's always viewed with a superstitious sense of dread. He reacted "with horror" when my mother decided to write about the cemetery, promptly trying to dissuade her.
"It's not a sexy subject," he says, describing his view of graveyards as grounded in Chinese tradition. "I always go to cemeteries, but we always go there at festival times like Ching Ming [a holiday during which Chinese remember and honor their ancestors, also known as Tomb Sweeping Day] to pay respect. You don't come here as a sort of recreation, to look at the graves and admire, learn the history. It's all dead and gone."
Nevertheless, one grave illustrates how potent legacies can be, even in death. The resting place of Yeung Ku-wan is marked by a pillar, lopped off halfway up to show he died suddenly in his prime, in 1901.
Unusually, there's no inscription. My mother attributes this to the fact that he had been plotting to overthrow China's last imperial dynasty, the Qing, when he was murdered.
"He was a revolutionary who supported Sun Yat-sen, and he might have become the leader of the revolutionaries and the father of the Republic of China," she says. "But the empress' agents came to Hong Kong and shot him on his doorstep in Gage Street."
Yeung's gravesite was left unmarked to avoid straining ties between Hong Kong's colonial rulers and the Chinese.
"The British were secretly in favor of revolutionaries, so they allowed him to be buried here, but they didn't want to upset China, so they refused to have an inscription," my mother says. "The British always liked to play things two ways."
This omission was remedied late last year, when the Hong Kong government erected a plaque by the grave to mark Yeung's life and death.
A Reversal Of The Usual Order
My mother's passion for the graveyard almost left her there — permanently.
Last year, on an extremely hot day, she was conducting a tour of the cemetery, when she suddenly felt unwell. So she lay down to recover, on the grave of Richardson Barry Loxley Leslie. As she puts it: "I borrowed his grave, and I'm sure he doesn't mind."
She later discovered that she had suffered something known as "broken heart syndrome," similar to a minor heart attack, while on the grave.
"It's lucky you didn't die of that heart attack," I tell her. "It would have been an awful epitaph for your book, wouldn't it?"
"It might have sold a few copies," she responds, laughing.
Close to the gates of the cemetery, we meet two groups of local students from Ng Siu Mui secondary school touring the graveyard.
"It's very important," says their teacher, Y.N. Tam, to "teach them something about Hong Kong history."
It's the first time my mother has seen schoolchildren here, learning about Hong Kong's history from the ground up. She's delighted.
Her book opens with the words: "Death and life is a reversal of the usual order." And through her writing, she has breathed life back into the stones, retelling Hong Kong's history, and along the way bringing life back to the graveyard.
Our summer series Dead Stop is going overseas.
GREENE: This morning we visit Hong Kong's oldest cemetery. It's a place that's been one British woman's obsession for the past decade. She's someone very close to NPR's Beijing correspondent, Louisa Lim. So Louisa went to Hong Kong to tell the story of the cemetery and its obsessive chronicler, her mother.
LOUISA LIM, BYLINE: I'm sitting directly underneath an extremely noisy flyover. Cars are whizzing by overhead. And amid the hustle and bustle that is modern-day Hong Kong, there is, surprisingly, an enormous cemetery. This cemetery has actually played a really important role in the life of my family, because my mother, Patricia Lim, has spent the past 10 years documenting the cemetery and writing a book about it.
Why did you actually start that?
PATRICIA LIM: I was fascinated by the way Hong Kong had grown up and nobody knew anything about it. All Hong Kong history is here. And almost nobody ever visited it.
LIM: Well, let's go and visit now.
LIM: Yes, let's.
LIM: Amid the chirping cicadas and leafy greenery, there are imposing pillars, granite obelisks, delicate angels. It's a 20-minute walk across the graveyard, which is the last resting place of the first British settlers arriving in Hong Kong in the 1840s. Nowadays, these memorials are pretty much all that remain of their lives, for that reason my mother's book is called "Forgotten Souls."
These were not the elite, but the ordinary people who built Hong Kong: the merchants and missionaries, the prostitutes and pirates, the opium traders and auctioneers.
LIM: This is the grave of the first Western woman to set foot in Hong Kong. She's an American missionary, who came to China, aged 17, newly married.
LIM: Her name is Henrietta Shuck.
LIM: She died having just given birth to her fifth baby. She died, poor girl, of exhaustion; having looked after a household of 37 people, having taught in the school, both the girls and the boys, having given birth, she laid down and died.
LIM: Her grave stone is really sad. And one thing that I found really extraordinary was the way that they died. You know, mauled by tigers, shot by pirates...
LIM: ...strangled by servants, and most people had rather short life expectancy here.
The poor man died when bandits...
LIM: Untimely deaths are a stock-in-trade for my mother, who mapped all 8,000 graves. She then traced the stories of the inhabitants through newspaper accounts, letters and diaries. Through these, she retells the story of Hong Kong: a rough-and-tumble place built on a barren rock, almost unrecognizable from today's city of shiny skyscrapers.
But her fascination with the graveyard isn't shared by my father, Lim Poh Chye. I ask him if he now counts himself as a graveyard fan.
LIM POH CHYE: No, not really.
LIM: Well, when mum said she was going to write a book about the graveyard, what was your reaction?
CHYE: Well, my reaction was one of horror. And I dissuade her, but as you can see, without any success. As a Chinese, this is not my kind of thing.
LIM: Why not?
CHYE: Well, we go to cemetery, but we always go there at festivals time. You know, Chingming, to pay respects. You don't come here as a sort of recreation or something like that, or look at the grave and admire - learn the history. It's all dead and gone.
LIM: But is it? One grave illustrates just how potent legacies can be, even in death. The resting place of Yeung Kew-wan is marked by a pillar, lopped off half way up to show he died suddenly in his prime in 1901. Unusually, there's no inscription. This was because he'd been trying to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and his gravesite risked causing a diplomatic incident between Hong Kong's colonial rulers and the Chinese.
LIM: He was a revolutionary who supported Sun Yat-sen. And he might have become the leader of the revolutionaries and the father of the Republic of China. But the empress's agents came to Hong Kong and shot him on his doorstep in Gage Street.
LIM: So why didn't they put an inscription on it?
LIM: The British were secretly in favor of the revolutionaries, so they allowed him to be buried here, but they didn't want to upset China. So, they refused to have an inscription. The British always liked to play things two ways.
LIM: My mother's passion for the graveyard almost left her there permanently. Last year, on an extremely hot day, she conducted a tour of the cemetery.
CHYE: And she walked up this rather steep place. After a while, suddenly realized, she really couldn't continue, whereupon she promptly lay flat on that grave.
LIM: So she laid down on the grave...
CHYE: Yes, on that grave
LIM: ...of Richard St. Barry Loxley Leslie.
CHYE: Exactly. Exactly.
LIM: I borrowed his grave and I'm sure he doesn't mind.
LIM: And then what happened after she laid down?
CHYE: After 10 minutes, she recovered somewhat. Then we adjourned for lunch. And after lunch, she promptly suffered the after effects of the heart attack.
LIM: So you actually had a heart attack lying on that gravestone?
CHYE: She did.
LIM: Well, a very minor one.
LIM: It's lucky you didn't die of that heart attack. It would have been an awful epitaph for your book, wouldn't it?
LIM: As we get ready to leave, we run into two groups of local students touring the graveyard. It's the first time my mother has seen schoolchildren here, learning about Hong Kong's history from the ground up. She's delighted. Her book opens with the words: Death and life is a reversal of the usual order. And through her writing, she's breathed life back into the stones, retelling Hong Kong's history and, along the way, bringing life back to the graveyard.

Angioedema is a common condition that involves swelling beneath the surface of the skin with or without redness. Angioedema can occur around the eyelids and lips, or on the face, hands, feet, or genitalia. Since this condition can cause swelling of the airways, it is important that you seek medical care if you think you have angioedema.
Angioedema is often associated with hives. It can be caused by:
- Foods such as fruits, shellfish, and nuts
- Medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) inhibitors, penicillin, aspirin, and morphine
- Infection
- Inhaled substances such as pollens, mold spores, and animal dander
- Certain diseases such as hyperthyroidism, cancer, and rheumatic fever
- Environment such as cold, heat, and water
- Skin contact with plants, animals, or medications
- Skin disease
- Family history
Risk Factors
This condition is more common in women and people who are 30-60 years of age.
Factors that may increase your chances of developing angioedema include:
- Having conditions such as:
- Drinking alcohol
- Taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Emotional stress
- Hyperthyroidism
Symptoms may include:
- Large swelling with unclear borders around the eyelids and lips
- Lesions on the face, trunk, genitals, and extremities
- Swelling of the hands and feet
- Swelling of the throat
- Abdominal pain
- Rash that is not itchy
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Skin tests
- Throat culture
- Stool sample
Images may be taken of your abdomen. This can be done with an abdominal ultrasound.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Minor episodes of angioedema may not need treatment. However, it is important to make sure the swelling does not spread to the airway, which can be life-threatening. Treatment options include the following:
- Medications—Certain medications, such as antihistamines, epinephrine, corticosteroids, and pain medications may help ease symptoms of angioedema.
- Tracheostomy—If your airway is affected, a tube may be placed in your throat to keep your airway open.
To help reduce your chances of developing this condition, avoid substances or triggers that have caused hives or angioedema in the past.

XENAKIS, IANNIS: Kraanerg
A massive work (Xenakis's longest) for 23 instruments and 4-channel tape, written in 1968 and seldom performed since (it's difficult to stage). This is a new recording, made in 2006, with the original tape material restored, and is in every sense massive: intense, brooding, full of action and wholly self-contained. There is an apparent, but elusive, logic - as with much of Xenakis's music - that comes from his use of stochastic procedures, creating structures that relate to natural phenomena rather than imagination or intelligence. With useful notes (in English and German) and a graphic of the sketch for the score. Also available as a surround sound DVD.

McCormick Home Improvement, LLC: Your partners in home remodeling

Few words in the English language set off alarm bells like the word "audit." The good news is there are ways to reduce the likelihood the Internal Revenue Service will tag you for an audit. Nevertheless, if a letter from the IRS does appear in your mailbox, don't panic.
Statistically, the IRS only audits about one percent of taxpayers with incomes under $200,000, according to the tax experts at the Oklahoma Society of Certified Public Accountants. There are red flags that can raise the likelihood you'll be audited, however.
Here is another helpful tip to protect yourself against an audit:
Do report a foreign bank account. Failure to report a foreign bank account can lead to severe penalties, and the IRS has made this issue a top priority. Make sure if you have any such accounts, you properly report them when you file your return.

If politicians really do represent the people who elect them, then it's official: Dunkin' Donuts is Massachusetts' coffee shop of choice.
Candidates running for office throughout the commonwealth spent a total of $15,753.96 in campaign funds at outposts of the Canton-headquartered chain last year, more than 10 times the $1,567.53 spent at Starbucks locations, according to reports filed with the state's Office of Campaign and Political Finance.
While some of the purchases at Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks are for purposes explicitly listed as "coffee," others bear such descriptions as "meetings expense" or "political breakfast."
Of the 67,550 reported campaign expenditures in 2012, 266 include coffee in the purpose, for a total of $15,682.73.
Sums of more than $15,000 are a small fraction of the total $39.9 million spent by candidates for state office and political-action committees, but the cost of a caffeine fix is still more than the price paid for some other campaign staples.
Candidates reported $15,257 spent on posters, and $14,706.65 on electric bills.
Massachusetts campaign-finance law dictates that funds can only be expended "to enhance your political future, so long as it's not primarily personal," said Jason Tait, director of communications at the Office of Campaign and Political Finance.
Tait said a politician who brought along refreshments when discussing campaign issues with elderly voters would be spending in that spirit.
"If a candidate goes to the senior center and does not bring coffee and doughnuts, they're probably going to lose about 30 votes," he said.
Coffee-related purchases made throughout the year include cups or gift cards for volunteers and staff, office coffee makers and refreshments for meet-and-greets with constituents.
Several candidates spent about $2 on an individual trip to a Dunkin' Donuts store either in their district or near the Statehouse. At the other end of the spectrum is the $1,561.43 spent on coffee and food from Boston's Ashburton Cafe by then-state Sen. Steven Baddour, for an event on his last day in office. Baddour, a Methuen Democrat, resigned in April to join a Boston law firm.
In terms of the total spent on coffee throughout the year, numbers range from $3 spent by members of Second Thoughts, a committee opposing the ballot question that sought to legalize physician-assisted suicide, on coffee in the Statehouse cafeteria during a legislative briefing, to the refreshments for Baddour's event.
Close behind Baddour is House Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones, a North Reading Republican, who spent $1,282.66.
Among Jones' purchases throughout the year were seven orders of coffee for his Statehouse office, each totaling more than $100, and a new coffee machine for the office.
Most of the 92 candidates and committees who reported spending specifically on coffee did so in one or two instances.
The most frequent coffee buyers in 2012 were state Rep. Jeffrey Sanchez, D-Jamaica Plain, with 25 coffee-related expenditures, state Sen. Benjamin Downing, D-Pittsfield, with 19, state Sen. John F. Keenan, D-Quincy, with 14, and Dracut Selectman Cathy Richardson, who unsuccessfully ran for state representative. Richardson's 10 coffee purchases were all at a Dunkin' Donuts in her hometown.
Of the 350 expenditures at Dunkin' Donuts, the most spent in a single trip was $400, when Lt. Gov. Tim Murray's campaign purchased that much in gift cards to supporters.
Defeated Governor's Council candidate Bart Timilty's 16 trips to Dunkin' Donuts made him the company's most frequent customer. State Sen. Barry Finegold was close behind, with 15 expenditures at an Andover franchise, each of which was described as a "meetings expense."
Finegold, an Andover Democrat whose district includes Tewksbury and Dracut, was the local legislator to spend the most at Dunkin' Donuts, with a total of $353.17.
Overall, the candidate with the highest spending at Dunkin' Donuts was state Rep. Aaron Michlewitz, a Boston Democrat, whose $616.45 included purchases of more than $200 made for Election Day workers in both the general election and state primary.
Tait, from the state OCPF, said he could not comment on whether any specific instance of political spending on coffee is appropriate.
Instead, he said his office asks candidates to remember that campaign funds should be used for a political benefit.
"If you're buying coffee and doughnuts for your family, that would be personal," he said.
