I never knew jean shorts were considered uncool until I got to college, where my frat brothers ribbed me for still rocking them a decade past their expiration date. It was embarrassing, but enlightening: For years, I had happily worked jorts into my regular wardrobe without hesitation. What other social faux-pas had I blindly been committing the whole time?
Maybe you received the denim-is-dead memo long before I did. But I'll bet you're still following at least one of these rules from the douchebag playbook without realizing it. Luckily, we're here to help you flag the problem before it festers out of control. Here are 25 of the lamest things you don't know you're doing. Nip them in the bud now, and we'll be one step closer to a douche-free world.
1. You keep babbling on about your fantasy team.
Oh yeah, you played Steph Curry and Kevin Durant last night? Impressive foresight there, bud. It's hard enough to keep track of our own fake rosters. Nobody cares about yours.
2. You call people nicknames like "boss" and "champ."
People don't even call their bosses "boss." You're allowed to call The Rock "The People's Champ," but that's it.
3. You have these nuts hanging from the back of your truck.
Women think you're compensating. Other guys want to give 'em a swift kick.
4. You keep the stickers on your flat-brimmed hat.
We know how much it costs. We've been to Lids.
5. You brag about not having cable.
Go ahead and save money. Just don't make the rest of us feel bad for watching Treehouse Masters.
6. You grunt while doing arm curls.
If you're a powerlifter moving some serious weight, it makes sense. Otherwise, save the sounds for your bedroom.
7. You take selfies in the bathroom.
Ever look into a man's face after he's dropped a load? It ain't exactly flattering.
8. You tip the bare minimum.
In case you're wondering why it's taken 20 minutes to get your second drink...
9. You wear your sunglasses inside—or worse, at night.
You're not Jack Nicholson, and you're (probably) not Corey Hart.
10. You're a namedropper.
Hate to tell you, but your CEO buddy met 300 other guys at that networking event last month.
11. You wear sleeveless jerseys to NBA games.
What, you think Coach is gonna ask you to suit up?
12. You keep empty liquor bottles and display them like trophies.
Aren't they just reminders of awful hangovers?
13. You text during dates.
Have fun watching porn on your iPhone tonight.
14. You give spoilers without warning.
Let us be disappointed by Homeland at our own pace, okay?
15. You wear a cell-phone holster.
Oh, dude. No.
16. You ask your friends to watch "this super-quick, super-funny video on YouTube."
It's the longest, least funny video on YouTube. Guaranteed.
17. You sing old indie songs at karaoke.
Drunk people don't want The Smiths. They want Journey.
18. You give unsolicited advice.
That's what Dr. Phil is for.
19. You Instagram everything you eat.
That 37th photo of your eggs belongs in the friggin' Louvre.
20. You sign your emails, "Cheers."
$50 says you've never been to England.
21. You still call shotgun.
If you want to pick the tunes, drive yourself.
22. You wear the shirt of the band you're there to see.
It's kind of implied.
23. You still quote Borat.
Let it go. Even Sacha Baron Cohen has moved on.
24. You buy jeans with holes in them.
We would have ripped 'em up for free.
25. You take the last slice.
Hey, we were going to eat that!

(PFE: Quote) said that a Phase 3 randomized withdrawal design study for Lyrica (pregabalin) in patients with inadequately treated painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy did not meet its primary efficacy endpoint, change in endpoint mean pain score relative to baseline. According to the company, 665 patients received Lyrica in the single-blind phase of the study and had an improvement in single-blind endpoint mean pain score relative to baseline of 2.2 points. Of the 294 patients who had =30% pain response and were randomized, Lyrica-treated patients had a total improvement in endpoint mean pain score of 3.9 points relative to baseline; however, this was not statistically significant compared to placebo. Further analyses will be conducted on these initial results. Separately, the company said it has stopped a Phase 3 clinical trial of Lyrica in patients with neuropathic pain associated with HIV neuropathy, a form of nerve damage characterized by burning pain usually beginning in the feet. The decision follows review of a planned interim analysis of the study by the trial's external Data Monitoring Committee. There were no safety concerns raised in the E-DMC review of the interim data, the company noted. The protocol for study A0081244 called for an interim efficacy analysis when approximately half of the planned 416 subjects had been enrolled. The interim analysis included a total of 246 subjects randomized, and the results revealed that the improvements in neuropathic pain symptoms in this study were virtually identical between the Lyrica and placebo treatments.

New Walk Museum in Leicester was the unusual but stunning setting for Freya and Wayne's wedding. I have lived in Leicester all of my life and visited the museum on many occasion and I had no idea that New Walk Museum even did weddings, so I was very excited when Freya and Wayne chose me to be their wedding photographer.
I am the wedding Coordinator at New Walk Museum. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful photographs with us. A lovely couple and so nice to see these reflect this lovely day. Susan.
These photos are stunning. It captures all the beauty and charm of New Walk and the museum – reminds me I'm so lucky to work there! This guy can do my wedding photos too :-)
We are so overwhelmed with our photos. Craigh is so talented and so professional, not to mention kind and friendly, he fitted in so well on our day. The pictures captured the day perfectly and are timeless. I can't promote him enough. You will not get a better photographer. Our photos will be a lasting memory for years to come. Myself and Wayne are so proud of them. Thank you Craigh.
Wonderful photos

The banks and the auto industry deserve hundred billion dollar tax-payer bailouts –much more than private citizens deserve universal access to health care. They have been such good corporate citizens! Even the Democrats understand that!
Choose life –and choose to promote a world and social conditions in which new life is nourished and welcomed.
At what point exactly, once out of the womb, dose the sanctity of life cease to be operative? When does "Thou shalt not kill" become "Kill!"?
That's what the world needs –gotta keep making those cars! If the private sector can't do it on its own the government has to step in to help guzzle gas and pollute the planet. After all they've already invested all that money invading Iraq.

Broncos' Tim Tebow is No. 2 QB
Tim Tebow was the Denver Broncos' No. 2 quarterback Sunday in a 24-17 loss to Jacksonville, backing up Kyle Orton.
AFC West blog
ESPN.com's Bill Williamson writes about all things AFC West in his division blog.
Tebow was involved in three plays, carrying the ball twice at quarterback for a total of two yards and lining up once as a wide receiver. The Broncos had a package of plays that they installed for Tebow to use in front of the Jacksonville crowd he grew up around.
One of the biggest surprises of the 2010 draft came when Denver selected Tebow 25th overall. Though the three-time All-American from Florida won the Heisman Trophy in 2007 and led the Gators to a pair of BCS national championships, his ability to be a pocket passer in the NFL was questioned.
Tebow finished the 2010 preseason completing 25 of 39 passes for 344 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Tebow, who grew up 20 minutes from the stadium, purchased about 50 tickets for Sunday's game.
His family and friends will now get to watch him make his NFL debut in a stadium in which he helped lead Florida to a 3-1 record against Georgia.

Ideas for Small/Medium Sized Restaurant Wedding Reception
Hi everyone,
I am looking for suggestions for a restaurant or comparable venue to hold a wedding reception next May or June.
Here's what I'm looking for:
1. Space for 80 - 100 guests
2. Relatively inexpensive ($5,000 - $7,000 total cost for food & drink - tell me if this is not reasonable)
3. Something with natural light - lots of windows and/or light from outside would be really great
4. I'd prefer something that has some outdoor space like a terrace
5. A place where I can bring in a DJ for music/dancing
I'm leaning towards a restaurant because it seems to me like it would require less money and/or effort for decorations & set-up compared to some sort of banquet hall.
I'm very flexible on location - anywhere around the twin cities, whether downtown or in the burbs could work well.
Any ideas or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!!
U of M Campus Club has indoor/outdoor type space. You may be able to do it all for that price - here's the link:
We had our reception on the deck of the Walker (this is pre-renovation, but I know the deck is still there). Great view, we had live music (more a combo than a proper *band*), etc. I don't know if they do this anymore, or what the catering is like, but we loved it as a venue and the price was not outrageous.
old arizona, south nicollet. private, with pretty patio outside, good dj venue/dancing inside
You Should Totally Check Out the Whitney Bistro In West Bloomington! It holds up to 120 guests. Half of the space is an English Conservatory (Walls and ceiling are all glass), so that would definitely take care of your natural light, and "outdoor space" requirements. There are also giant fireplaces, a waterfall, 3 large crystal chandeliers, onyx stone ceilings, woodwork from the old Whitney Hotel, and a cute bar. Part of the space can be transformed into a dance floor once guests are done eating. Its also connected to a hotel, so your out of town guests could be close by. Most importantly, your entire evening can probably be done at the lower end of your budget!
Hope that Helps...and Congratulations!
ps... Go heavy on appetizers. The chef makes some amazingly tasty little bites!

re: kopp0108
Three District Park (Elm Creek, etc) might work. Lots of windows and light ...outdoorsy, etc.
Kozlaks...has a patio, reasonably priced. Good food. Been around a long time. Supper clubbish.
Degidios. Not stellar food but extremely reasonably priced. My GF had a wedding there and it was nice. The window/light thing not as much-but affordability is a definite.
Chateau lamothe - in Burnsville. I haven't actually been here nor do I know the cost, but in helping friends get ideas, I've thrown this one out. Restaurant, decent capacity, etc.
re: kopp0108
Wow, the Whitney Bistro looks really cool!
On their website, it says you can rent out the conservatory for 75 ppl or the entire restaurant for 125. Do you know if "the entire restaurant" includes the conservatory, or if it's completely separate?
Thanks for all the other great suggestions! Keep em coming!
One other thing I forgot to mention - ability to serve hard liquor is a must, so that eliminates places like the park district which I believe don't allow it.

re: UrbelT
If you do an entire restaurant buy-out (which can easily be done with your budget), it will include all three areas of the restaurant... the Conservatory, a smaller bistro area, and the bar. There are large glass doors that open up between the areas so they flow together quite nicely. Also, If you have children in your group, I recommend making the bistro room a kid haven. Throw some fun games, coloring books, etc.. in the bistro, and you wont have to worry about a kid crying during a speech.
Was at a reception at Kozlaks Royal Oak this past weekend. It was a great space and seems to have everything you asked for. the food and staff were top notch.
Check out the b-dale club. A local non profit that has a hall. They have a villa park right next to it. We had our wedding there and loved it. I know you mentioned a resterant. but what you save in hall can be spent on food and other tiems.
We had our wedding and reception a few months ago at Black Dog Cafe and Wine Bar, near the St. Paul Farmer's Market. It was a lot of fun and our family and friends are still talking about it!
How it worked for us:
- There is a room-rental charge, but food and drink (coffee/beer/wine) you buy from BD counts toward it. We had 100+ people and an open bar, so, in the end, the room was close to "free". They did keep track of the tab to make sure charges didn't get out of hand (they didn't).
- They have a catering menu with all kinds of dishes not on the regular cafe menu. We had an "open house" with hors d'oeuvres rather than a sit-down dinner and had BD serve roasted vegetables, a pesto cheesecake, and a couple of other dishes as well as some food our friends prepared for us (see the next item).
- BD was OK with us bringing a few bottles of wine we'd collected in our travels (nothing great, but it had sentimental value to us) and even some family favorite foods. There is a corkage fee, and, of course, there are laws for serving liquor and food, but many places won't even consider your bringing in anything. Andy (the manager we worked with) was *really* accommodating.
- The room has tall windows on two sides and a patio (with tables) which runs alongside the long edge -- a nice getaway for some cooler air and quieter conversations.
- The room is handicapped-accessible and so are their own bathrooms (important for us).
- The dance floor (OK, dance "area") is small, but they have a sound system (our DJ had his own) you can use.
- There's a parking lot about a block from the cafe; we cut a deal with the owners of the lot to let our guests park free.
BD is in the same building as an artist's cooperative, so there is contemporary art and sculpture around a room that has a fair amount of, umm, patina. That vibe was what we wanted, so no issue there. Much of the art changes almost monthly; there were some pictures on the wall when we first started speaking with BD which would have been candidates for a "tulle makeover", if you know what I mean, so keep that in mind if you look.
The staff was excellent! They worked hard keeping serving dishes full, utensils within reach, used dishes cleared, and drinks flowing. Never once did I see an employee with a "I-can't-wait-till-this-is-over" look on their face. In fact, they told us they had fun watching *us* have fun.
I know our total tab (counting wine and food we brought) came to less than your budgeted figure. It would run higher if you bought everything from them, but not much -- and much of that depends on what you choose to serve. And did I mention we had fun?
Usual disclaimers about not getting anything out of referrals, etc. We just happened to chance upon them as we were looking for a venue and feel we really lucked out. They deserve the good press.
Congratulations -- and enjoy your wedding!

re: steve_in_stpaul
I would HIGHLY suggest the Woman's Club in Mpls. I had mine there and it was gorgeous. The website starts with a picture of the 'living room'. It was classy and intimate and that is what I was looking for.
That being said, your budget does seem way low for a dinner. Apps and a limited bar might be do-able in that price range.
Good Luck and Congrats!!
We had ours at Nye's Polonaise. It fits several of your criteria but not all. The reception room in the basement holds about 100-115 people, we paid for food and beer and kept it in the $3-$4k range, and they could support music. However, there is no natural light or outdoor space and the dancing would have to happen upstairs. However, that was the beauty of the space to us was the flexibility. The reception was downstairs and so was the food, but we encouraged guests to sing karaoke at the piano and dance polkas to the Ruth Adam's band.
The basement room wasn't ideal and Nye's underestimate the proper amount of food, the overall experience far outweighed the negatives. We still have people coming up and telling us how much fun they had at our wedding. To us, having fun was more important than the perfect linens or the perfect what-ever.

Review of Cabrera Medina
Walk Like A Tunisian! The Medina at Sousse. Tunisia.
Advantages: Mind boggling mix of eras and architecture. Friendly locals. Great fun!
Disadvantages: The old market can get crowded. Salesmen can seem pushy if you're not used to them.

In March I was lucky enough to spend a week in Sousse, the third largest city in Tunisia. I could have stayed a lot longer. One of the places there that I loved to visit was the Medina.
Medina means 'walled city or town' and that is just what the Medina in Sousse is. The fortifications around the old town have stood for around 1,000 years with some parts being...

The Baltimore Orioles have acquired outfielder-first baseman Steve Pearce from the New York Yankees for cash. The deal was announced Saturday before Baltimore played at Tampa Bay on Saturday night. The 29-year-old Pearce was hitting .321 with 11 home runs and 30 RBIs for the Yankees' Triple-A team. He played parts of five seasons with Pittsburgh through last year and hit .232 with nine homers and 52 RBIs in 185 games. The Orioles designated infielder-outfielder Bill Hall for assignment. He went 2 for 9 with one home run for Baltimore.

Ron Paul Quotes Jesus, Conservatives OutragedSubmitted by emalvini on Tue, 02/05/2013 - 09:45
Posted by Ryan W. McMaken on February 4, 2013 | LewRockwell.com
Remember that time Ron Paul used the Golden Rule to explain his foreign policy? Conservatives booed him for that. So who can be surprised that conservatives, including Rand Paul, have been falling all over themselves to condemn Ron Paul for quoting Jesus -in correct context, by the way - to note that the violence wrought by over a decade of nonstop war in America leads to tragedy on the home front?
Every neocon pundit and middle-American red-blooded conservative took a few minutes out from running around shrieking "boo-yah" and polishing his dually F-250 to be outraged that someone dared suggest that a government employee wasn't a holy relic.
The Daily Caller was the first to the show, posting Paul's twitter post without comment and allowing the comment box to quickly fill with outraged Republicans who were dismayed that anyone would not endorse every action of every single taxpayer-funded soldier who ever drew a bead on some dirt-poor 12-year-old child-soldier 10,000 miles away. Others soon piled on.
The most transparent were the conservatives who claimed to be former supporters of Paul who must now go support some more "patriotic" politician: One who doesn't actually question anything the military does.
One member at RonPaulForums.com said "'Live by the sword, die by the sword' is what the dumbest, stupidest, most delusional people around here would say. There's no way that Ron actually said this. Ugh. How said [sic] and pathetic."
That seems to be the general reaction one gets from conservatives about the Golden Rule also.
This is what it comes down to for most conservatives, of course. All that stuff about laissez faire and freedom and free markets has never been more than an act and an affectation which goes right out the window if someone ever criticizes the US Government in a truly trenchant or penetrating manner.
Most of these sunshine patriots who now whine that Ron Paul has lost their support, wouldn't ever have supported Ron Paul in the first place if Obama weren't in office. Had Ron Paul run against a GOP incumbent, most of these timid and prevaricating "opponents" of big government would have condemned Paul for questioning the glorious deeds of "our" Commander-in-Chief. Among conservatives, Ron Paul has only ever had minority support, for in the end, conservatives love government, as exhibited by their latest outrage. They just love it in a slightly different way from the left liberals.
As I've noted before, the Tea Party movement, and most conservatives who pretend to be for small government, only act when there's a Democrat in office. During eight years of Bush shredding the constitution, spending money like there was no tomorrow, and inflating the money supply with his pals at the central bank, no conservative would walk ten feet to protest the federal government. But about five minutes after Obama was sworn in, the Tea Party protests swelled into a huge disingenuous show that will evaporate five minutes after any Republican is sworn into office, assuming the GOP can actually win a national election with one of the out-of-touch never-had-a-real-job rich boys they insist on nominating.
In the end of course, Ron Paul has never been about rallying people to himself. He has been about the message, and the message is about freedom. It is a logical impossibility to be simultaneously pro-freedom and pro-military. Patrick Henry, who called government soldiers "engines of despotism" knew this. Thomas Jefferson knew this. Every true friend of liberty from William Graham Sumner to Murray Rothbard knew this. And Ron Paul knows it. Some of his supporters, still stuck in the mindset of a form of Geezer Conservatism in which "freedom-lovers" bow and scrape before the US Government, denied that Ron Paul could have even agreed with the Twitter post. No such luck for them. The tradition of laissez faire is a tradition against standing armies, and wars, and deference to military "heroics." Conservatives who are troubled by this should probably be honest with themselves and find a candidate more suitable to their views. I hear Newt Gingrich is still taking donations.

History in the connection to the Word of God
"Somebody's opinion about what supposedly happened in the early church doesn't carry the same weight as God's Word."
Well, depending on what happened in the early church, that is, actually in the early churches matters a lot because possibly a lot of God's Words were excluded from the Bible, for example, the Gospel of Thomas which was written possibly as early as 50 AD.
Have you read the Gospel of Thomas? It might be nearest to the Q Source.
"Air is the very substance of our freedom, the substance of superhuman joy....aerial joy is freedom."--Gaston Bachelard--
I think the point that was made about scripture holding more weight than someones opinion of history was a good one, and in the context of the trinity, the fact that it is taught in scripture would not be changed even if there were some missing books.
The gospel of Thomas is an obvious forgery made by gnostics and had no relation to scripture. If you read it, you will see just how silly and reprehensible it is. If it were actually written by Thomas, you'd think that the churches he established on the Malabar coast of India would have had some similarities to it's teachings.
Typically, people who say that the early church excluded parts of the bible, and then point to gnostic texts as examples have no concept of Church history or Christian theology. Canonization of the books of the bible was a mere recognition of what Christian churches had already accepted and were already using. Look at the writings of the early church fathers, students and friends of the apostles picked by Jesus, and students of those students, etc. They quote the Bible quite frequently, but they don't promote the gnosticism found in those non-biblical gnostic texts. You can just about recreate the new testament from early patristic quotations, and the new testament itself is completely at odds with gnosticism.
There is no Q. Q is an imaginary hypothetical concept with no manuscripts to verify it's existence.
Gnostics, Christians, Q etc.
The Gospel of Thomas is not OBVIOUS forgery. We do not even know if it a Gnostic Gospel and who are the Gnostics? Those who could be called the Gnostics include many different groups of Christians (the so called Gnostic Christians) who might have had completely opposing views of each other. There is not one single sect called the Gnostics. Gnosticism of course refers to the word gnosis 'knowledge'. This 'knowledge' was the secret knowledge or the secret teaching of Jesus which to also the biblical Gospels refer to and to which you yourself referred to in your previous reply to my comment in connection to parables of Jesus.
If you say that the Gospel of Thomas was not written by Thomas, well this MIGHT be true, but it is also true that we do not know who even wrote the Gospels of the New Testament. Yes, they are called Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, but there is no certainty of the original writers these Gospels either.
I disagree that the Gospel of Thomas is "silly and reprehensible". Why is that? Are the Gospels of the New Testament completely at odds with gnosticism as you write? Well, it is a question of which gnostic groups are we talking about. You seem to lump all so called gnostic groups together as they were all thinking the same way which is not at all true.
You wrote: "Canonization of the books of the bible was a mere recognition of what Christian churches had already accepted and were already using."
This is a half-truth. It is true, but only partially as some Christian churches were using many texts which were not included in the Bible. It is all about the power game. From my perspective Irenaeus and other Church Fathers were destroying the multidimensionality of the Christian Tradition and from your perspective they were cleaning it from the heretic tendencies of Christianity.
Q might be an imaginary hypothesis, but there was pretty sure something like it, that is, a collection of sayings of Jesus which the writers of the synoptic Gospels used and which might have been quite similar to the form of the Gospel of Thomas. So many of the texts of antiquity (philosophy, religious, scientific, etc.) have been lost, but that does not mean that they didn't exist originally. Irenaeus mentions many Christian/gnostic texts which do not any more exist. Happily Nag Hammadi was found.
It is always the winners who write the history, and this also applies to the Christian history.
"Air is the very substance of our freedom, the substance of superhuman joy....aerial joy is freedom."--Gaston Bachelard--
What I was referring to in
What I was referring to in parables is not the same thing as Gnosticism. I wasn't talking about salvation through gaining secret knowledge. I think God makes things clear to those he saves, but he saves them based on his grace and work on the Cross of Jesus.
You said: "I disagree that the Gospel of Thomas is "silly and reprehensible". Why is that?"
I don't know where to begin. Did you not read the part about women not being worthy of life, and how they would have to become male to be saved? That goes against scripture in Galatians where men and women are equal in Gods sight despite having different gender roles.
You said "It is true, but only partially as some Christian churches were using many texts which were not included in the Bible."
Some christian churches were boasting in blatant immorality and incest as well, that is why other churches corrected them. But the criteria for canonization included consistency of use. If some offshoot was bringing other stuff in which nobody else had heard of, or which contradicted scriptures which were established as reliable, that is not a good reason to accept the stuff.
You said "It is all about the power game. From my perspective Irenaeus and other Church Fathers were destroying the multidimensionality of the Christian Tradition..."
What is notable is that Iranaeus was a student of Polycarp who was a friend and student of the apostle John who was chosen by Jesus. John appointed polycarp as a bishop to lead the church in Smyrna. Iranaeus knew that the bishops and leaders of the christian church were well known and that they didn't teach gnosticism, and he also made use of scripture which was established as reliable, and which contradicted gnosticism. Your talk of multidimentionality reminds me of your somewhat relativistic talk elsewhere. How did you come to the conclusion that it was a power game?
You said: "Q might be an imaginary hypothesis, but there was pretty sure something like it, that is, a collection of sayings of Jesus which the writers of the synoptic Gospels used..."
Q is short for the german word for 'source'. Obviously there was a source(probably the writers own experience and the unanimity of the church), but the idea that the source was Q (i.e. a unified written collection of sayings) is an idea which has no real evidence.
"It is always the winners who write the history, and this also applies to the Christian history."
This rationale doesn't really work in this instance to further your argument. The fact that God is involved in scriptures inspiration and preservation would secure it's success. If the purpose of scripture is to teach and sanctify God's church, then it would follow that God would give that scripture to the church. Here is an article you might check out: http://www.str.org/site/News2?id=5473
you said: "but there is no certainty of the original writers these Gospels either."
While it's true that not every books authorship is totally certain, I don't think it is as encompassing as you portray it. Authorship of all the gospels was strongly attested by the early church. The fact that they don't all say who wrote them "in them" is a problem for some people. There is certainty that the gospels which are in the bible were established as reliable and accepted by the church early on and the same can't be said for the Gospel of Thomas.
No Harm
In learning about early Christianity, whose leaders argued over church doctrine and compiled the books of the Bible.
No harm in reading about two priests: Arius and Athanasius, who prior to 324 AD disagreed over Jesus' degree of divinity, which led to violence and bloodshed among Christians three centuries after the birth of Christ.
Fear not in learning the history of the Bible we read as Gospel.
What is your problem...
with the saying, "Those who live by the sword die by the sword"?
It seems a perfect companion precept and support to the NAP. If you go about engaging in aggression there will be unpleasant consequences to the aggressors and empirical observation (sans divine revelation) of man in society seems to concur.
Even many atheists and secularists are completely comfortable appealing to aphorisms in the christian and judaic scriptures. You just seem to have some other agenda not related to the topic at hand... :p

Because it is not
true - it does not reflect REALITY. What the 150 muslims did before they died? What Sandy Hook children or 9/11 victim did? Yasser Arafat, who was fighting all his life, died from HIV.
Arafat murdered with radio-isotope?
Swiss, French and Russian experts were given samples to establish whether his death in Paris in 2004 at the age of 75 was the result of poisoning.
France began a murder inquiry in August after Swiss experts found radioactive polonium-210 on his personal effects.

Your english is awful Liberty_First
What country are you from?
...I reject your use of 'hard-core' and 'soft-core' in this way. You will find Christians who are 'hard-core' for a deep, Scriptural relationship with Christ through the gospel, regardless of what secondary view they hold on the ultimate nature and working out of God's justice and love. The creeds of the early church did not even address views on the subject -- it was and is a 'gray' area. The core gospel of our 'old man' of sin being spiritually crucified and buried with Christ and our 'new man' being raised in Him is what should be looked at. Differences beyond that are less important.
'Soft-core' would be more apathetic and lukewarm, indifferent, just claiming the faith as a label or a tradition or ritual that doesn't really mean much beyond that.
From my particular perspective, Scripture is clear that God is love and has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and therefore that neither should we.
Since viruses have no free will
who allows them to kill babies before being baptized?
if God created people, planets and viruses according to a purposeful plan and provided a transition for the souls of people from the earthly to a spiritual realm, then proclaiming, "I do not know all of God's plans and purposes therefore God cannot exist or else God is immoral" is a mere logical fallacy. A straw man you are flailing at God.
Such a God would be in full control of the care of the souls of all babies. And such a God could have individual plans and purposes for each baby with each baby having a different ordained lifespan and all of this could beyond the capability of your mind to comprehend. And all of this would be logically consistent.
~wobbles but doesn't fall down~
The same One...
...who made all things will allow all things in this fallen world to leave it so that they may be reconciled to Him in a better place, in His time. That does not mean that He has any pleasure in temporal suffering and death, whether here or in the outer darkness. This valley of evil we are in will someday end. He is the Author and Finisher of our story -- the beginning and the end. And the end of the story is good. :)
Blind belief or logic of a rational mind?
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"
― Epicurus
false dichotomy
"Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent."
two other options:
1. If there is a greater good for allowing evil, then God is not malevolent. The possibility of evil is a necessary consequence of freedom. And yet, the value of that freedom outweighs the cost of the possible consequences, at least that's what I hear with regard to the liberty message I see on this site.
2. The bible teaches that there is no good person, that there is none who seeks God, and that we are all sinners, etc. (see Romans 3). If we all deserve Hell because of our rebellion against God, then any evil that happens to us which is less severe than the Hell we deserve is actually a moment of mercy in which we do not get the full punishment due. If we deserve worse than the evil we experience in this temporary life, then how could God be considered malevolent for showing mercy to those who deserve more evil than they get?
Willing and able...
...to allow Liberty/free will AND to reconcile ALL evil that may come as a result.
It's not either God's will or human will -- it is both. And that is one area where I believe the universalist outlook has an edge: it allows human will to asymptotically approach God's will, as you take the limit as time goes to infinity. All the prodigals will eventually come home, just as coins with superglue on one side will eventually all stick as you shake the shoebox that contains them. Evil will be defeated YET human Liberty will be preserved.
The traditional view truncates that process, and sees either God as not truly willing everyone to be reconciled (Calvinism), or as having his will mostly frustrated due to human free will (Arminians) and there always being a pocket of contained evil somewhere.
I say, no: evil will be eradicated AND free will is preserved.
Hey, this kind of goes with your username: Liberty_First! :) (and I would say concurrent with the wills of both God and humanity.)
How does a Christian place someone in hell?
And why is distinguishing between true and false Christians funny?
Also, where did you read in the Bible that Jesus places Muslims in hell?
Just curious as to how you came to your conclusions.
BTW, the Bible has a clear and succinct definition of "religion":
"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." James 1:27
Not sure how you get "collectivist dogma" from that.
Ron Paul - Honorary Founding Father
We all know that pre-requisites for going to hell
is different from one church to another. Some require actions, some require content of your heart. If your church does not put those who reject Jesus into hell, it is all right. Can you call yourself a True Christian. Yes, you can.
A true Christian
would be someone who's way of life is to obey Christ. The word Christian simply means Christ-like.
As for who ends up in hell, that's up to God. I think the Bible is pretty clear on the subject of hell but there are also many verses that tell us it is possible for some to avoid going there:
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him." John 3:16-17
Also, to those who have already been forgiven, a reminder that salvation is a free gift and not something we earned:
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
Ron Paul - Honorary Founding Father
What does it mean to be a True Christian?
You write: "A True Christian would be someone who's way of life is to obey Christ. The word Christian simply means Christ-like."
But what does this mean? What does it mean to obey Christ? And if 'the word Christian simply means Christ-like', then what does it mean to be Christ-like?
If it means to obey Christ, does it mean that a person CAN BE a Christian and not care much about what the followers of Jesus did in the New Testament? So can a person obey Christ, but not obey Peter, Paul, Acts or Revelation as they are interpretations of the teachings of Jesus and not his own words? Could it then be that the Gospels would be the most important part of the Bible for a person who obeys Christ?
Is somebody a heretic if he takes the teachings of Jesus very seriously, but not so much anything else in the New Testament? If so, then why?
You seem to be very keen to quote Timothy where Paul says that All Scripture is theopneustos, but Jesus does not express this idea in this kind of manner. Jesus instead says: "it is not you who speak, but the Spirit [pneuma] of your Father who speaks in you." (Matt. 10:20) This is not the same idea as this has no reference to All Scripture. Paul's and Jesus' thinking are not the same.
So my basic question is what does it mean then to be a True Christian? Are so called Christians then more Christians (follow Christ), Paulians (follow Paul) or Peterians (follow Peter)?
Can a person be a True Christian without following at all the interpretations and theologies of the Christian Tradition, that is, for example the Church Fathers? Or could it actually other way around, that a person who just follows the teachings of the Christ is actually a True Christian?
"Air is the very substance of our freedom, the substance of superhuman joy....aerial joy is freedom."--Gaston Bachelard--
I already answered your question
A true Christian is one who lives a life of obedience to Jesus Christ. I would label someone a false Christian if he or she claimed to be a Christian but did not demonstrate obedience to Jesus Christ as a way of life.
"But someone will say, 'You have faith and I have works.' Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works." James 2:18
Since the Bible is the Word of God, and Jesus is God in human form, and He communicated part of His Word through the Apostle Paul, then there is no disagreement between Jesus and Paul. But I'll let Paul himself answer your question about Christians following different church leaders:
"I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers. What I mean is that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," or "I follow Apollos," or "I follow Cephas," or "I follow Christ." Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?" 1 Cor 1:10-13

needle ear...
I assume, that if one does not go to heaven, he goes to hell. No Limbo, no annihilation. Jesus had a famous quote that a poor person has a bigger chance to get into heaven than a rich one. Hard work, productivity, actual usefulness was never on Jesus mind who himself did not earn a penny during his 33 years. When Jesus came to Temple, he had no money to buy an animal for a ritual. The anger forced him to use brutal force...
Jesus wasn't angry because He couldn't buy an animal
He was angry because money changers had turned the Temple - His Father's House - from a house of prayer into an opportunity to fleece people coming to worship:
"And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer,' but you make it a den of robbers." Matthew 21:12-13
Ron Paul - Honorary Founding Father
Jesus' father carefully instructed how rituals must be performed in the Temple. It is written in detail in the Old Testement. Trinity did not exist at that time. Messiah was not supposed to change or challenge god's instructions. Jesus had no money to perform a ritual. I suspect that he did not remember the scripture well or his desciples invented things in the New Testement later.
No instructions were changed
and Jesus - being God in human form - didn't forget anything.
Not sure how those verses can be made much clearer for you. The money changers were conducting their business IN THE TEMPLE. The House of God is not a marketplace...it's a house of prayer, just as Jesus said when He quoted His Father.
You have no basis for saying that Jesus had no money and you have offered no explanation for why God repeatedly speaks of Himself in the plural throughout the OT.
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all referenced in the Old Testament. The Holy Spirit is mentioned at least three times, in Psalm 51:11, Isaiah 63:10, and Isaiah 63:11. The Son is referenced by various names and offices in every book of the OT.

~wobbles but doesn't fall down~
The sniper lived and died by the sword
For some reason people can't hear that. It is strange that he was glorified for killing 160 people and sold books about it. It is strange that parents buy their little boys shooter video games. It is strange that people continue to sign up to go kill innocent people on behalf of foriegn bankers. You're not the strange one Dr. Paul. God's law is first - Exodus 20 says "Thou shall not murder". (I understand this is the proper translation, but you are to defend yourself). What part of that do they not understand? Face it people, you are wilfully blind. You are morale cowards. Home of the brave, land of the free-
From what little I have read and seen...
...the guy loved to kill.
They call themselves Christians. They go to church.
They invoke the name of Christ on one hand and they are happy to give their tax dollars to a government to go kill Arabs on the other hand.
Christ hated hypocrites more than anything else.
And anyone who is belittling Dr. Paul for his truth are HYPOCRITES.
"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."
-Ron Paul

Meggett, 42, was arrested and charged with raping a 21-year-old woman in her North Charleston home, authorities said.
The woman told police she woke up at 1 a.m. Tuesday and found a man she knew as ``Mike'' sitting on her bed, according to an incident report. The man demanded that she repay $200 she owed him and raped her when she said she didn't have the money, police said.
o police records.
Meggett, who is listed as living in North Charleston, had been out on bond in connection with another sexual assault charge.
In September, he was charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct after a 17-year-old North Charleston woman told authorities she was raped by a man she knew as ``Michael,'' according to police records.
Both South Carolina arrests occurred while Meggett was serving out two years probation for a 2006 sexual battery charge in North Carolina. Authorities there allowed the Charleston native to serve his sentence in South Carolina and have been notified about both of Meggett's recent arrests, said Pete O'Boyle, spokesman for the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services.
North Carolina probation officials did not immediately return a phone message Wednesday.
The running back played for the New York Giants, the New York Jets and New England during his 10-year NFL career.
He was denied bond Tuesday night on charges of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and first-degree burglary, said Spencer Pryor, spokesman for the North Charleston police. He was being held Wednesday in the Charleston County jail, and it was unclear if he had an attorney.
Meggett was found not guilty of soliciting sex from an undercover police officer in Baltimore. Eight years later, he was charged with assaulting a woman in a Toronto hotel room after she refused to continue having sex with him, but that charge was dropped.
The Patriots released Meggett in 1998 after the Toronto charge.

Product description
A day like any other for security chief Tracy Waterhouse, until she makes a purchase she hadn't bargained for. One moment of madness is all it takes for Tracy's humdrum world to be turned upside down, the tedium of everyday life replaced by fear and danger at every turn. Witnesses to Tracy's Faustian exchange in the Merrion Centre in Leeds are Tilly, an elderly actress teetering on the brink of her own disaster, and Jackson Brodie who has returned to his home county in search of someone else's roots. All three characters learn that the past is never history and that no good deed goes unpunished. Kate Atkinson dovetails and counterpoints her plots with Dickensian brilliance in a tale peopled with unlikely heroes and villains. Started Early, Took My Dog is freighted with wit, wisdom and a fierce moral intelligence. It confirms Kate Atkinson's position as one of the great writers of our time.

Review written by
Matt Clewley
July 11th, 2014
A wonderful thing about eShop is how more puzzle games are appearing for us to enjoy. Two Tribes gave us cheap tasters due to some financial troubles and most of them came out quite well.
Blocks are essential in puzzle gaming when it comes to simplicity and addiction, the most well known example is of course being the mighty Tetris. And thanks to the spurt of indie developers creeping onto Wii U territory it's time we get a taste of games that aren't fiddled about by publishers.
They are all at wonderful prices as well, with EDGE (*cough* check my review cough) at the price of £1.79, BLOK DROP U comes to £1.29. We all love a good bargain, but most of all for us lot who play games, we all love a good game.
BLOK DROP U is a puzzle game developed by RCMADIAX, one that didn't require a big budget. With that bared in mind I wasn't expecting fancy visuals or epic HD graphics that make your eyes melt. However graphics aren't essential when it comes to games, unless you're given a huge budget and then don't do shit with it. The game does well with the movements of all the items that are bouncing around the stage like a frog on acid.
BLOK DROP U is all about saving a little red block by making grey blocks disappear, so the red block can be flat and firm on the ground. Wii U's GamePad is the controller for this game and you don't need the TV to play it. You use the stylus to click on a grey block to make it disappear.
This gameplay is very addictive, I have to admit I got so glued into trying to rest the red block carefully. That red block is like a piece of expensive china, you break it and your grandparents will smack you around your head with their walking sticks. However the difficulty is an unbalanced part of the game. You'd expect the levels to get more difficult the more you progress, when it actually doesn't, it's a wave of good and bad levels.
The levels themselves don't hold much of a challenge besides the saw blades during the earlier levels. The blue blocks are trampolines pretty much, and when you know how to use them it gets easier. The difficulty is one of the main problems with this game, and also the amount of levels. There are 30 levels, which sounds like enough, but once you have done them all you are left confused as what to do next. Replaying the levels is fun when you show other people the video game, but by yourself it's what was a refreshing puzzling experience turning into a slightly dull recap session.
I managed to do the puzzles fairly quickly, even though some of the levels were challenging. BLOK DROP U lost its spark as soon as I completed it. Though younger gamers would absolutely love this, and for the sale price it's worth it.
Musically the game only has one track, some ambient hip hop beat that doesn't get tiresome. It suits everything going on and gives the game a nice atmosphere, but it's all a loop with no epic moments in it.
BLOK DROP U has been built on a short budget, but it does have its redeeming qualities. It's a challenging puzzler at times, it doesn't take much memory on your Wii U when you download it and it's something to keep your mind occupied for a bit. You may complete the game in under an hour, but it's a unique entry in the world of block gaming that could have done with more levels and better balanced escalating difficulty.
