just remember one thing, nitro..small businesses are still the peasant stock here in america..everything that is beneficial to a business, is only beneficial if you are a c-corp.

the >50 crowd, still gets the woody..because you are not really a business in the eyes of a c-corp.

Hey Ben.

The Clintons are the definition of sleazy. Anybody that uses there power of the white house to abuse young interns sexually is scum in my book. And any woman that puts up with scum like Billy coming home smelling like some other woman crotch and thinks she can run a country like the USA is scary.

I could not imagine having some abused house wife running anything without being mentally fucked up in the head. People that like her brush it off like its no big deal. And I have seen what that kind of shit does to a family and it does not end well.

I will not be voting for that kind of train wreck.

i'm thinking your experience with abused house wives is first hand if i had to judge by that whale you roped in.

is that why your daughte rdecided to become a mudshark, to get back at you for abusing her mom?

Hey Sky.

I noticed that when I log in it reminds me of scraping dog shit off my shoe, and the site just cleans up. I guess I will have to stay logged in to keep the shit from reappearing .

Anyway I am just a small S corp. The other night about 2:18 am we had a 4.5 earth quake that made a lot of noise, woke my ass up but only shook the house a little bit but it was loud. I guess sound travels through that lava rock pretty good and then about two days after the earth quake we had the neighborhood catch on fire and only one house burnt down, but we all had to evacuate the area until they got a handle on it. So things get a little exciting around here at times.

I can see you are pumping Bernie. You don't think Hillary can win? I hope she doesn't, so for now I will give Bernie some thought and sit back and just take it all in.

thank you my friend for considering..why don't you have a conversation with your other fisherman buddies..why wait to the last minute?

the earthquake is exciting news..i've never been in one..it's true what they say about hurricane though..sounds like a freight train is outside your door.

glad you're safe! hugs and kisses to the furry ones

you actually think the bible is real history ? LOL
The name “Jesus” used in Christianity today did not exist and would not be spelled with the letter “J” until about 500 years ago. No letter J in Hebrew,Latin or Greek. In fact you don't get J until 14th century England.

No. But the real person existed.

I guess you couldn't read my post:

I said the fairy tale is that he was the son of God and a prophet.

And the fact of the matter is, it doesn't matter when the letter j was introduced.

We don't call Santa Saint Nicholas usually, we don't call many things by what they used to be called.

So you're saying Jerusalem doesn't exist because it was mentioned in the bible and there was no j back then?

I say you need to open your eyes and realize that this thing called religion is more of a tool to control the masses.
You really think man changed pure water into wine by touching it ?
You really think a man walked across water ?
Do you think a man can feed 5000 with only a fish and a few loaves of bread? with leftovers afterwards

I have walked across water many times.

One time I had to go back to the truck to warm up, it was like -23 degrees out there and we never even caught a fish.

Oh so Jesus walked on frozen water at the Sea of Galilee. Thank for adding your stupidity.
Did you teach your sons about religion as well as making them citizens

So does Jerusalem exist or not? It was in the bible and begins with a j. So did it exist or not?

Your logic seems to hinge on the letter j not existing therefore he did not. In order for your logic to hold up, Jerusalem would also not have existed as it also begins with a j and was in the bible.

I did call him being the son of God and a prophet a fairy tale. Do people who believe in the bible say that?

Just to be perfectly clear(since you can't seem to read what I wrote and do not remember me saying I'm agnostic/atheist in the past):
I do not believe in the bible and the miracles and the religious bs.

Despite all that religious mumbo jumbo, there did happen to be a guy who actually existed who today is known as Jesus. His name was Yeshua. After well over a thousand years, and many translations, Yeshua is now known by the name Jesus.

You don't have to be a bible thumper to know that Jesus existed. You do have to be a bible thumper to believe he was the son of God and all that jazz.

You thinking I'm christian just because I have some knowledge of history is hilarious.

What proof do you have that Jesus existed besides the bible in which you say you don't believe in.
You also say you don't believe in the bible but constantly ask me why is stuff in the bible. Could you make up your mind before we continue the conversation. Do you believe in the bible or not?

I posted a link earlier backing up my statement. You apparently didn't bother reading it.

the question I asked was do you believe in the bible. One moment you say you don't...the next you asking me "how come it's in the bible"
The bible was written as a control tool. It teaches you how to be a good slave and how to turn and offer the other cheek if someone slaps the shit out of you. Its full of fairy tales and nonsense. Stories to make you feel good and stories to make you sad. Hell it even has stories about dragons. It should be always place in the fiction section of the library.

 

[Antidisestablishmentarian]

I answered that question. You have not answered mine. Do you believe Jerusalem existed? YOUR statement was that Jesus couldn't exist because of the letter j not existing. In order for that logic to stand, Jerusalem also has to not have existed. Both begin with the letter j. Hell, I could use the word jump. Do you think people jumped back then? I'm not sure, there was no letter j, so how could they jump in the air? It's an equivalency question. So will you answer that question or keep dodging it?

I posted a link with my source. The bible is not my source. You can keep ignoring that, but it really doesn't help your argument.

The only thing I took from the bible is this: treat others as you wish to be treated. The rest is fairy tales and bullshit. But that is a good rule to live by. You won't always be treated how you treat others, but you are more likely to receive the same treatment you do give others. If you're a dick to someone, they will likely be a dick back to you. If you're nice to someone, they will probably be nice to you too.

Now having said that, some of the Ten Commandments are good rules to live by, like don't murder and steal. Even the bearing false witness against your neighbor is pretty good too(don't lie about people). The rest are hilariously stupid. Invisible man that lives in the sky and has a list of things you can't do or you'll end up in a place filled with fire and brimstone and pain and suffering, but he loves you? (Thanks to George Carlin) Religion is bullshit.(thanks Penn and Teller)

I did answer your question. No man named Jesus was walking on water between 6 B.C. and 4 B.C.

 

[Antidisestablishmentarian]

You're the only one between us who keeps bringing up bible miracles.

Of course there wasn't anybody walking on water. But a real person named Yeshua, who today we call Jesus, existed.

And no, you haven't answered the question:

Did Jerusalem exist back then?

You can pretend a real person didn't exist because of the fairy tales that popped up about him, but then you'd be ignoring historical fact. Again, I backed up my statement that the guy existed. You seem to ignore that.

Again, I don't believe in the fairy tale bullshit, but the guy did exist. He wasn't walking on water or doing any of those fairy tale things.

I had a conversation with someone once about this and the take away from that was essentially this same sentiment, the dude did actually exist, I think they have mentions of him in ancient Roman texts somewhere detailing his life and/or execution, historically speaking that's likely accurate

Reading through the dialogue, it sounds like splitting hairs, you're both saying the same thing

Yes, Jocephus, a Roman historian

And no. He is distinctly saying he didn't exist. At first it was because the letter j didn't exist back then so he couldn't. I have not seen him acknowledge that he was a real person.

 

[Padawanbater2]

I have not seen him acknowledge that he was a real person.

Yeah you seem to be right, my mistake

@londonfog, dismissing all the fairy tale bullshit, do you believe the person Christians worship as Jesus was an actual person who walked the Earth?
