Christians and the Martial Arts
TheDevilAside replied to kchenault's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
Just an interesting point that might untie a few knots. The commandment "Thou shalt not kill" is actually worded incorrectly. I'll try and dig up the sources where I got this again. Anyway, originally, it was "Thou shalt not murder". It was a mistranslation that first occured when the King James Bible was written, I believe. In the Hebrew Bible it does, however, say "murder" and not "kill". ...Found a source... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10_commandments Therefore, the "eye for an eye" law in the Old Testament is not conflicted. And, by that I would say that there is absolutely no problem with doing martial arts as a Christian, since it's use is to defend yourself from an attacker. Also, I believe that many Christians tend to take Jesus commandment to turn the other cheek a bit too far. It's talking about a slap, and later on, it talks about a lawsuit, not a person trying to kill you and do serious harm to you. As far as Christians having to be viewed as holy, well, good luck. Many Churches seem to have this outlook, and it only causes problems because nobody, absoutely no one can live up to the standards of being "holy". All it does it cause discrimination and... hehe... excommunication. Sorry if some of my points were redundant, I didn't read the posts that followed up. I just wanted to throw that in real fast. -

Watch out guys, that could be sarcasm. -
Dude... Batman made Spawn cry like a little baby, and the Hulk is nothing compared to my main man Spawn!

I don't care what you guys say, Spidey would still win! :'(

But what if Spiderman shot those web things at Hulks eyes? Or around his feet and tripped him? See, Spiderman has strategy... and webs. I think Spidey would win.

What fiction book are you currently reading?
TheDevilAside replied to BlueDragon1981's topic in General Chat
I just finished all of the books in the Narnia Chronicles. Now I'm probably going to start reading The Sigma Protocol by Robert Ludlum. -

Haha We've been talking a lot more since then. It's time to work my charm on her.. maybe I should show her my colorful Member of the Month belt! I'm sure that will impress her... or make her think I'm.. not as much into girls :/

Indeed. Turns out it was one of my "friends". Stupid people. They're never going to let go of the "plyometics physics" comment. Grr...

Hahaha! Ooh boy, I got her to talk! This has been one of the strangest things I've ever done. Anyway, we had a very pleasant conversation. Turns out, she's a 37 year old female that's been divorced twice, has six kids, one's named Marsha. She works at a bar in Illinois. She thinks I'm a 25 year old getting a masters in Plyometric Physics (..that's the first thing that came into my mind.) It was nice, she even told me a bit about why she divorced her two husbands. Apparently, she doesn't believe in protected sex. It turns out, this is the first time she's "picked numbers at random and called them" and I think I scared her a bit when I suggest that maybe she picked the wrong guy to call (in a joking manner). She sounds like she's about 18. Hm.. she's probably lying to me as much as I was to her, even though the conversation only shifted to me for about 30 seconds (I didn't allow the conversation to be about me). ..I'm doing a horrible thing, aren't I? I can't decide which way my conscience wants to go. I was being extremely interrogative and condescending, mostly because I was so pissed off at this woman. Oh well. Fun, man.

Hm, as I speak, I am receiving phone calls about every other minute from the same phone number with an area code for IL. They won't talk, they only punch numbers. One time they punched "Mary had a little lamb" and I sang along and asked them if they had any other songs to play, and then eventually I started taunting them by telling them their phone number and where they live (internet is awesome). Then they hung up. That was probably a stupid thing to do on my part. Now they're leaving me messages with techno songs. ...I feel like beating the crap out of them :/ What should I do? They won't stop calling. Turning off my cellphone is no good, because they leave about 5 messages in 10 minutes.

We're talking Physics
TheDevilAside replied to White Warlock's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
Eh, no, 'speed' and 'velocity' are not the same thing. Yes, velocity is a vector. Velocity always has direction. Look it up if you don't believe me. Speed = the rate at which something moves or Distance/Time. Velocity = speed + direction. The word Vector does mean the same thing as velocity. However, 'vector' is used in mathematics and 'velocity' is used in physics. -
