My guess (in general) is that anyone who is regularly disrespectful or hostile to Christians and or Christianity probably does not seriously pray.

Of any other time ever on this board Steve and I say this with all due respect and with 100% certainty, you are 100% wrong, in general of course.

calfoxwc Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 But getting back to the subject of the thread, guys.... ... it has to be embarrassing for those who bought into the man made global warming bull... Temps Plunge to Record as Cold Snap Freezes North, East States... CHILL MAP... Vermont sets 'all-time record for one snowstorm'... Iowa temps 'a solid 30 degrees below normal'... Peru's mountain people 'face extinction because of cold conditions'... Beijing -- coldest in 40 years... World copes with Arctic weather... Yeah, I can see that Peru's mountain people lament the dramatic heating up of the entire earth by "CO2". I mean, really. ROF,LMAO ! I wonder if Sheppie ever manned up about it.

Chicopee John Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 First off how do you know they are the words of God? And faith is not proof, just to get that out of the way. So because I'm not Christian I don't pray? I hate when the deeds of God get confused with the words of man. Jeepers, creepers, K, why the reaction?? Did I say you were a Christian? I still hope you find employment this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you believe He wants from us? WSS Hey Steve. Yes, I do believe there is a Supreme Being or Energy that listens and responds. I believe it wants us to do good for the world. To help your neighbor. I just don't believe one needs outlandish stories from the Bible or Koran to get them there. I respect religion, it's succeeded in billions of people over time, to fear death and consequences. It's a powerful force. People need to do right and treat people with respect (except Steeler fans here, jk) no matter what the God's law is. It's all about Gratitude and Respect.

I apolgise if I was wrong here but didn't you say "Dare I say that I pray it happens". I took that as condescending, like because I am not Christian I don't pray. Yea on the jobs. I think me and my girl are going to have to move from Cleveland. I never noticed this until I moved back here about a year and 1/2 ago, but people here just seem depressed and content. Everyone is OK with their situation. At least everyone I know. I don't do well with complacency. That's depressing, and the cycle begins. Go south young man....

Most printshops have allready layed off many. I receive apps and resumes every week. The last advertisement for a job here was for a printing salesman on commision only. Which is good if you can bring accounts with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully owners will see that value in me. Wilmington, Charlotte, Greenville or Raleigh seem to be the best places. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 My close friend - we used to work for the same company that started making/trying to make people work 65-75 hrs a week as a new corp culture, well, they moved to Salisbury, NC. It's a beautiful town. There are a few big cities, that have some crime, as usual. Our friends that we stay with once year on vacation, and the same when they come up here, LOVE IT down there. In fact, he had sent resumes all over the East Coast, and the only two replies he got were in NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the weather, I'm a young 33 going on 55 in terms of my back. North Carolina still has seasons, just not THAT cold and no snow barely. KsHutch actually lives in Greenville, SC and that is looking like a kick ass place. Not too big not to small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicopee John Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 How about Ashville, K? Pretty eclectic. If you go, let me know. I can hook you up with somebody to show you around, recommend or not, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can hook you up with somebody to show you around, recommend or not, etc. I thought about Ashville, but I think it is a smaller community and jobs might be harder to come by. I will take a look, but I think a larger city will be better. But if I do I'll let you know. Could be an option, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. T Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Its Cold here also, wind chill is 17 degrees, but it wont last long and spring is right around the corner. Come March I hope to be planting my garden again, I have to get it in early before the summer heat makes it unbearable outside. Plus I need ample time to go to the beach on weekends and I dont want to get stuck in a garden weeding. On another note I always liked Charlotte as for location, it only takes 8 1/2 hours to get to Clev to catch a game. And you are only 3 hours from the beach or the mountains.

hoorta Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 "Modern day people have gathered several practices and beliefs from the Celts and Romans. As was mentioned earlier, our present day calendar bases several of its months from names of Roman gods. Holidays such as Halloween and Christmas evolved from Celtic festivals. Halloween evolving from Samain and Christmas evolving from the celebration of the winter solstice. Around the 25th of December both Romans and Celts celebrated and worshipped the sun. Desiring to make others come to Christianity, Constantine “Christianized” these pagan holidays. By taking a holiday that was familiar to the people and changing it into something related to Christ, Constantine thought he could convert more people. Therefore, as a result of Constantine’s changing of this holiday, we now celebrate the birth of Christ on December 25th instead of the sun. Interestingly, we also received the beginning of our new year from the Celts. On the winter solstice, they would worship the sun in hopes for the sun to not desert them. They did this because they noticed the days getting continually shorter. After approximately a week, they would notice that the days were, once again, getting longer, therefore they would start a new year. Though many traditions and celebrations have changed throughout the years, pre-Christian religions of the Romans and Celts have definitely shaped the current beliefs and practices of Christians." Partly right, and I'll have to add my .02 here. Good reason Christmas is December 25th. The Nero epoch Romans had no love for the Christians- they were tasty Lion fodder. But they did have a big time year end (actually beginning) bash around December 25th- the Satunalia- in honor of the God Saturn, and the return of the Sun. So what better time to celebrate Christ's birth while the Romans were off in some Bacchanalian frenzy, and leaving them pretty much alone? Hmmmm.... the angels reported to the shepherds keeping watch by the sheep- the only time they bothered to do that was in the spring during the lambing season.
