GIVE ME A BREAK!

I originally read about this on the God Is For Suckers blog. The WHAT WILL HEAVEN BE LIKE article (from Christianitytoday.com) is, well, just plain childish and retarded. I cut and pasted the same part that God Is For Suckers did on their page:

7. If we have emotions in Heaven, why won't we be sad about those we loved who are in hell?

"We know there is no sadness in Heaven: "God will wipe away every tear from their eyes" (Rev. 7:17). I think we will not be sad about the damned for the same reason God is not. According to the Sermon on the Mount, he will say to them, "I never knew you" (Matt. 7:23). God will wipe our memories clean. This is not falsehood or ignorance, but truth, for in a sense, the damned no longer are, that is, they no longer are in the most real place of all, Heaven. They no longer count. They are like ashes, not like wood. They once were fully human, fully alive, real men and women. But hell is a place not of eternal life but of eternal death. We do not love or weep over ashes; we only love or weep over the thing that existed before it was burnt. In Heaven, however, we will not live in the past, we will have no regrets; nor will we live in the future, we will have no fears; but like God, we will live in the eternal present.Our heavenly emotions will be appropriate to present reality, not past reality.


And you want me to love and accept this deity? Not in a million years. God is love, my ass!


HACKER


Computer was down for a day or so. Brandon, even though he is only five, happened to install Gator, Xupiter, and Memory Maker on my computer. Needless to say, it was one fucked up computer. Well, after a lot of work, and re-installing Windows 98 I think I have it back to normal. Brandon has been banned from the computer for life. Little turd!


COOL SONGS


The Streets - Don't Mug Yourself
Basement Jaxx - Where's Your Head At (great Gary Numan sample)
Death Angel - I'm Bored
Trapt - Headstrong

THE RING


This is the second time watching this movie, and it didn't get better. The ending just sucked. The dvd had some deleted scenes that should have been left in, including the ending of the movie. We also watched Castaway with Tom Hanks yesterday. That was a decent movie.


HOME SICK


Josie has reverse home sickness! She is sick of being home and sick of her family's shit. Looks like someone will be going with us to Nebraska this summer after all. Can't wait to see my family. We are going to take Little Nicky with us too, he's so damn cute. He's doing really good with the potty training.
