It's only implied that some guy gets anally violated with corn, not shown. So you know, perfectly fine.

Apart from everything else, the fact that you claim to have read something, does not mean you understood anything. There is even a saying about a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. Think about it; there is hope for you yet; mebbe.

Oh yeah, I said "something", because, based on the available evidence, I am quite certain that you have no idea what you are talking about. Internet blog of a guy who read a summary of a book on ancient Rome is hardly reading Cicero... I am just saying.

Because memes are retarded.

Also, what sort of program(s) do you use/need to get files to 3D print?

There are basically 3 pieces of software that you need to print a 3d object. 3d printers print *.stl files, which are basically a layer sliceable 3d cad model. You start with an actual CAD program (a lot of people use freecad, I use Autodesk Inventor) and draw up whatever it is you want to print, in millimeters. You then save that file as a .stl file and open with an actual gcode generator program, which creates the numerical toolpath that the 3d printer follows. I usually use slic3r for that (freeware, http://slic3r.org/). SLic3r is where you tune the model to fit the parameters of your printer (nozzle size, print speed, type of filliament, etc.). Once you have that gcode file, you can use it with the actual printer control interface, the two most popular of which are prointerface or what I use, Repetier host (also freeware http://www.repetier.com/) Repetier is nice because it has a slic3r interface built in. So I basically download or make my STL file (thousands of them here: (http://www.thingiverse.com/ , My designs here: http://www.thingiverse.com/piercet/designs ) drag it into the repetier position window, hit the "slice" button, then click on the printer interface tab, heat the print bed and extruder hot end to temperature, and hit print. Assuming you start with a pre done stl file, the whole process takes about 2 minutes to start with the new printer. The old one takes about 15 minutes to warm up.

You can also print files directly from the printer controller. You pre-generate the gcode, then save that to the onboard controller memory. the advantage there is you would not necessarily need a computer to print things. Comes in handy when you need a bunch of a single object and want to use your computer for other tasks.

You did keep popping into my mind in this. Especially since I still have your hubby's horror music CD and and quite aware of the parallels. It made me wonder just how much different or the same your households are.. obviously with the very stark knowledge that I have of either.. But I honestly thought about your kids and said to myself.. I DON'T believe at all that any kids raised by you would ever be capable of such a thing and then I asked myself WHY I thought that based on what I now know about God and Christ. Obviously I'm not saying that this is going to be a rule for everything and everybody.. but I'm mainly talking about the trend.
DSD, from what I know(remember) about you: you are one of those people that seem to radiate joy. I do not believe that the only possible form of positive energy has to be channeled from Yahweh or something. What I do believe is that each person carries the spirit of life which radiates differently for everybody. When this energy is channeled properly it can have very positive results... but I have to say that without the help of God that positive energy will one day fizzle out like a flame on a candle. Only with God does it last forever.

Back on track: My position is that that morality that you have instilled in your kids that resided in you was instilled in you or your family somewhere down the line because of Christianity. You may find this insulting but it is what I believe... at some point as we abandon that Spirit that is trying to work on us eventually that chain will be broken somewhere down the line and the people are left having only themselves to turn to and they will fail.

To paraphrase somebody: There is a God shaped void in all of us.. and it cannot be quenched by anything but God.
Yet we try and we try.. but I don't know who is worse off.. the ones that cannot fill the void or the ones that fill it with lies false hope and think that they are satisfied...

I try not to quote scripture here but in this case..

SpoilerJohn 4:7-14
A woman of Samaria came to draw water.
“Give Me a drink,” Jesus said to her, for His disciples had gone into town to buy food.
“How is it that You, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” she asked Him. For Jews do not associate with[d] Samaritans.
Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God, and who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would ask Him, and He would give you living water.”
“Sir,” said the woman, “You don’t even have a bucket, and the well is deep. So where do You get this ‘living water’? You aren’t greater than our father Jacob, are You? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and livestock.”
Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again. But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again—ever! In fact, the water I will give him will become a well of water springing up within him for eternal life.”

Yes I know quoting scripture to people that don't believe it is pointless that that is the simplest answer.
(or maybe I'm just becoming one of THOSE Christians)
Yes, I understand and I thought the same thing.. Why is it the Christians that always think they're right? really pissed me off. I realize logically that everything and everyone COULD be wrong.. but another thing to consider is that everything and everyone could never ALL be right... so that rules out a LOT. If you do think that they all can be right then I question your reasoning. But as long as you go on thinking that YOU can't be wrong.. you're screwed.
I don't know what else to tell you. Seek and you SHALL find. I don't think you're really seeking so you're not really finding.
I was seeking for a very long time... but never really try to study Christianity too much because I felt that our culture was so inundated with it and that it was just so freaking lame that I actually never honestly considered that it actually could have been The Truth the whole time... especially since considering the history of "the church"...
...but I sought and I found.

You don't quench a void, man.


I appreciate what you are trying to say (preaching to the choir and all that) but, dude, seriously, take a course in How to Discuss Scripture 101 or something.

It's funny you say that because I've always thought that the entire thing was pretty much an allegory for all of human history. In fact when I get into conversations about human history I usually end up comparing it directly to Lord of the Flies.
I don't know what history books you're reading but I'm curious on how you would explain how LotF is different in any way than human history? It even has Satan (the pig head) and God (the soldier at the end).
Read it again.



Can be and always is subverted. Always. We all want to do good and never do.. and then we just start making up what is good and bad to have a better time of it.. then then.. Lord of the Flies happens.



Agreed. But God existed before religion. I've actually almost convinced myself that most people claiming to be Atheist are either lying or brainwashed by indoctrination.. Ironic isn't it?



That sounds good but like Smash points out.. it's kinda circular. What if I'm not certain that what is truly good is good so I would have to think that good is actually bad? So nobody knows anything? It seems like a nice safe neutral position.. but we're all on a moving train.

What is certain that If there was a Loving God that He would make it certain and that if there is nothing then there is nothing... but from where I am sitting there is certainly something.

Which is the point. You can't praise a religious belief for all good things because at some point it probably existed somewhere in your lineage without attributing the same way about all the nasty shit in the world, too. "I work at a soup kitchen every weekend," and "I make jackets out of the skin of newborn babies" are the same in your claim: Because Christians.

Well it got a chuckle out of me, for what it's worth.

You should tone down the ridiculous preaching in your posts, they read like you were furiously humping the bible while you typed them.

I'm thinking he was just introduced to peyote.

So much energy and naive enthusiasm. I can't imagine why people wanted to feed them to lions.
