He must have known his tweet was going to offend many people, as well as the many people who retweeted it. Shame on anyone who unnecessarily offends others, but even more shame on people so easily offended. Many stopped following Jesus because they were ''offended,'' and he asked his disciples if they would do the same, so it's pretty clear what his thoughts on the matter were

Smartphone = $$$phone to me. Prepaid phone that can text is all I need.

That is true, they are generally intolerant of anyone who doesn't know what they're doing, and even sometimes when they do.

How about poll dependent? I can see all of these forms being useful depending on the question.

Parent was modded Insightful. I can't handle firepower of that magnitude.

While I know this is an unfortunate event, I have to say that the comments on this thread are the funniest I've read all week.

My opinion is, any good man probably wouldn't have a problem with others finding some amusement about his death, and any bad man does a great service to mankind with post-mortem amusement . Personally I'd want everyone who knew or cared about my death, including my family, to find something funny about it. Or laugh at all the stupid and or funny things I did in life.

He is talking about in this life, as am I. Sure, I hope that God will help me along and I think he is, but it isn't something one can just expect right when you follow a commandment. There's no promise in the bible that if you're a good christian God will make life easy for you, in fact it is mostly the opposite.

Following a religion just because you want reward or fear punishment is silly, and not what God wants.

I don't know if it is ''troll'' in the literal sense, but Man on Pink is either ignorant about religions or a bigot.

It really is saddening to see how so many people here think they're on the scientific high ground of knowledge and criticize religions so broadly. All they show is blatant ignorance (which is what they are accusing religion of strangely enough)

Some sects believe that ''the universe owes them something,'' don't get me wrong, but not all by a long shot. Maybe those are the most vocal because it's what people like to hear, personally I don't care for them either

In any case my personal christian belief almost exactly matches what he said about science:

''starts from the premise that whatever secrets Mother Nature holds will have to be earned through hard work. There are no promises of results and no guarantees that understanding will ever be reached.''

Entomology students often have to make insect collections. Pubic lice are a tough thing to catch with a net in the park you know......

It may not do anything besides keep time and make annoying sounds, but my alarm clock is older than 10 years

These aren't the moons you're looking for.

This is true, the only reason this technique was so successful with screwworm is because the females only mate once. So all they got were duds from

By the same principle, sterilizing females would have no effect if the males mate with more than one female.
