Just a side comment, but it is really one of my pet peeves...Science doesn't "prove" things. It is used to discover support for models and continually self-corrects themselves. Saying that something "proves" something means that it ends up being true no matter what, which logic is the only field that does the proving.

I think from some posts on this thread, there is an incorrect premise when it comes to the belief of God: Believing in God is for those who need something to have faith and hold on to. A true believer of God would have faith in God in GOOD TIMES and BAD. Believing in God IS NEVER ABOUT a deity who is there for you and make sure that you are flourishing. Those who lean on that as their belief do not actually believe in God and their belief is by a condition, a condition that no one really deserves due to sin. The reason to believe and have faith in God should be because it's true and that our human condition described in scripture is also true, and need God to save us.

It is also important to note that having faith in God is NOT blind. If someone is blindly believing there is a god just because the person wants to or because there is a possibility, then they don't really have faith. By definition, there has to be some confidence or support in order for someone to have faith in anything. Very similar to when you have faith in someone. You don't trust someone unless you see reasons of why you should trust them, and then depending on how trusting you are, you would need a certain amount of evidence to start actually trusting someone.

So, to say that people don't believe in unicorns is because there is no evidence or support that the unicorn (that we know and imagine right now) actually existed or leave trails of evidence that it happened. However, there are evidence and support of existence of animals that lead to the portrayal of unicorns we see today (The word "Unicorn" was used for a type of rhino back in the day). The reason why people believe in the Bible and believe in God is because there is historical, scientific, logical, and philosophical support for God. It is also because it is, I believe, the most consistent and correct view of how people's relationship with God and each other, and how everyone is in a sinful state and need a Savior. Finally, like many people already stated here, God's work is evident all around, actively working miracles (big or small). Like any evidence, these support will never be enough for a person to become a believer of God until the person has some trust in the evidence and take that step of faith believing in the evidence and God.

FalcoDude : First, let's get our terms correctly. Fundamentalist does not equal protestants. There may be protestants that are fundamentalists, but not all of them are equal to each other.

You want to go back to why Protestants protest the Catholic church in the first place (The Lutherans, the Reformers, the baptists, etc) They protested against the many corruptions in both theology and practices in the Catholic church. Some of these corrupt has since been changed in the Council of Trent, but there are still beliefs that are unbiblical and contradictory to what scripture states. Some issues include indulgences, consubstantiation in Holy Communion, the worship of Mary, saved through faith and good works, etc.

One thing that you don't understand is that prayer is an act of worship (look up any dictionary for the definiton of "pray"), and the Bible explicitly makes it clear that you cannot worship anyone else but God. The verses that you mentioned had no mention that those prayers were prayed to the saints and angels or pray in their name, making it an invalid interpretation. It simply says that they offer those prayers to God. It simply says that they were handling those prayers. Speaking of angels, they know they are not to be worshiped, and warned people not to worship them. (Revelation 22:8-9. An angel told the Apostle John NOT to kneel and worship him) Furthermore, Jesus gave us the example of praying to God, and has stated that we are to pray, to give thanks, to plead to God. Never towards anyone else, not to Moses, or David, or Daniel, but directly to God.

I will add in the end that there are probably Catholics that are saved, but they would probably not be considered good Catholics, because they probably don't follow the main beliefs in the Catholic church and there are beliefs by the Catholic church that are considered antibiblical and it should be understood as such with our understanding of scripture now. These differences are not differences of opinion and are huge issues that make them really consider to be deviated from basics of Christian belief.

The site was undergoing a reestablishment of moderators, and geeo the admin opened up applications for global mod. I wasn't thinking too much of myself getting it, but I know that I can be responsible in maintaining the purpose of the forums as well as continuing the culture of Vizzed being a safe and friendly community. And then I got the position sometime in 2013, I believe, and I've been a global mod to this day.

I was looking through some news articles and I stumbled upon this little report: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/21/bruce-willis-die-hard-prequel

What? Why?????? Just why would you think it's a great idea to make a prequel of Die Hard? Isn't the original Die Hard already an origin story of John McClane before he becomes a well-known one man cop? Isn't the German terrorist incident the one that got John's story going? Why would there be any type of an origin story BEFORE the origin story?

This is basically a cash cow on Die Hard, but I don't know how well it can match the originals since Bruce Willis is not even going to be starring in it if it's a prequel (and him being old)

I think it's more that people either forgot about the chatroom or they got used to not going into the chatroom since summer. I know that lately that has been the case for myself. When you don't go into the chat room that often for a certain period of time, you develop a habit or a pattern, and in this case, people just didn't go in. I think the way that people repopulate that chatroom is to make some type of activity or event to jumpstart the chat room.

I personally like it. There are certain features that are lacking in Windows 8 that I finally was able to get in Windows 10, so I am glad that they have made these changes and it has been my OS of choice. Also, from what I heard, Microsoft is hoping that this is the last OS that they would need to put out and instead of making new OS, they would just continue to update and upgrade this existing OS for a long time in the future.

I feel that some of these comments are a little unfair here, especially when it comes to the topic of being "sellouts" just because they do commercials, or do things for paid promotion. Look, a lot of these YouTubers started from doing this as a hobby, and then turned into doing it for a living. You are expecting them to do things that are paid to do, but the good quality YouTubers will not forget of their fans and who they are trying to appeal to. You've got to understand that they are people as well, and they want to only do videos and not trying to do videos while having 2 other jobs to support them. Making videos also take a lot of time and planning. This might be different with video game videos since it's easy to pump them out in large volumes episodically, but there needs to be planning and appeal to their fans in order for it to happen. You can say a youtube channel is bad because of their bad content, their moving away from the content that they are used to doing, or because of their bad method of making videos, but to say a YouTube channel is bad because they do commercials or do things that companies pay them to do is just unfair.

(P.S.: Whoever said Did you Know Gaming and Game Theory are owned by the same person needs to do a little bit of fact checking, because that is not true.)

I don't understand why that would be an offence. He loves tuna...

This is the police! You are under arrest for breathing!

I grab the cookie before the bom-ombs blow them up or fire them far using their cannons.

I then throw the cookie to the nether (minecraft).

So this is a topic more about in the future for many of us, but this is something that people who think about being in a married life would think about. How many children do you want to have when you are married?

To me, I have been used to families with 3 kids, so I think that I at least would want 3 kids when I get married. I do think that I would discuss this with my future wife though and we can decide from there.
