    Why do believers go to doctors?

    I have heard many of times, especially when life takes a dump on them, that god doesn't give anybody more than they can handle. Those same people praise god for all the good things that happen to them, so there is some merit to this. I look forward to your snarky, jackass response

    Why do believers go to doctors?

    I am just trying to figure out the logic around this whole thing. there seems to be rational discussion for the most part in this thread. It is one question i have posed a few times in various forums and nobody really has addressed it. it seems weird that if you have this belief that god has...

    Why do believers go to doctors?

    I had a debate with a former coworker who became uber religious a while ago. He told me that a non believer who has lived a life that would be worthy of being admitted into heaven would be denied access and would spend eternity suffering in hell, while a career criminal/rapist type of person...

Otherwise...

    Why do believers go to doctors?

    when somebody is in critical condition, family and friends always solicit thoughts and prayers for a full recovery. When recovery happens, they praise god and celebrate the miracle that just happened. When the outcome isn't so good, it is chalked up to god having a plan. If god has this...

    BMX'er Dave Mirra dead

    No doubt. I have been through a couple down points in the past and the thing that kept me from doing anything really stupid is the thought that it would not be fair to my boy because I didn't know how to handle my shit appropriately. Edit: If it is indeed CTE related, then that is an entirely...

    Iowa City Council may grant 'Section 8' participants protected status

    fair point. I saw the thread about section 8 housing and immediately drew the line to my example as my friends mom just moved in (therefore getting approved) for subsidized housing, but continues to throw money at the casino every weekend.

    Iowa City Council may grant 'Section 8' participants protected status

    In all honesty, if it was told to me a week or two earlier, probably wouldn't have mentioned it. I won't even bother asking you why abuse of the system like that doesn't bother you, however I do look forward to your further enlightenment and jackassery when anybody posts anything that they may...

    Iowa City Council may grant 'Section 8' participants protected status

    for somebody who takes exceptions at people making assumptions in the thread regarding Ariens, you seem to love to make assumptions in this case. You just could've answered that you were indeed trying to be a smartass.

    well, the thread topic is about section 8 housing. It just so happens that I had a tale to share that was told to me today regarding somebody that abuses it. If I was told a tale I recently heard about some family who was able to secure a living space using section 8 while the father took a...

    Iowa City Council may grant 'Section 8' participants protected status

    So the only two choices are shutting down welfare or let people who have no desire to better their situation abuse it? How about setting up some sort of accountability of how people are spending their money. I know you will say that the government shouldnt tell people how they can spend...

    Iowa City Council may grant 'Section 8' participants protected status

    one of my friends was texting me today and telling me her mom has called her three times in the past two days to brag about the luxurious apartment she just moved into and told her that it was too bad that she wasn't poor because she would never be able to live in a place as fabulous as the one...
