No gun stashing even if they can't reach. I worry more about the older grandson and my carry piece than i do the younger one. At any rate if i am not wearing it the gun is locked in a closet or the safe. The older one shoots and knows not to fool with it. But best to not leave temptation lying around. the older they get the more i worry about a gun and the less careless i am. Kids are just kids. No telling what they might do.

No way, if she wants to open a safe she can get her own. No one else knows it. A man has a right to some privacy.

How come i never get invited to parties with strippers and midgets? Some people have all the fun

My oldest grandson once asked me what happens to us when we die. I thought a long time on how to answer. I wanted to be honest but not scare him. I explained that i believed when we die we are gone physically. But if we lived a good life we live on in our loved one's memories. That would be like heaven. But if we were bad people no one would want to remember us and that would be like going to hell. I explained how i still feel close to my grandmother and think of her just about every day. And because of that she lives on. Only when there is no one left to remember her will she really be gone. And at that point it won't much matter.

Definitely not the bullet bunker. I have no problem with just blasting away at nothing in particular. Heck when i am aiming and shooting it appears i am just randomly slinging lead at nothing. But i at least look down the sights.

What the heck are they shooting at? Most aren't even watching, just firing up into the air. Crazy

This thread is great. Very civil and moralistic. I was hopeful it would break down to debauchery, but no joy. As for "up there" as a location for heavev, where is up there? As a child i always thought it was on cloud tops.

I have read it any number of times. If my search foo was stronger I am sure I could show it has been posted on this board before. No one had or has ever tried to convince me that there is no god.

Interesting response. I am pretty sure this is the first time I have been given an answer such as yours to that question. Normally the answer basically is that non believers are screwed, does not matter why they don't believe. In grade school when asked this question the nuns always answered that as long as each person was true to their faith they would be accepted into heaven. It always struck me as odd that if you are supposed to accept Christ as your savior that there was still a back door to get in. My personal thought always was that if I did good in my life, did not screw people over and was an honest person that if there is a heaven I need to go to, what I have done better be good enough. I was baptized like most Catholics, as a infant with no say over it. Odd how different religions practice the same acts (baptism) but do it differently. Of course Catholics confirm their belief at a later date. And of course you really have no choice in that matter. A third grader is not going to tell the nun or priest that they aren't doing it. I was not pointing the butt hurt comment at one side or the other, but at both sides. The sarcasm is cast by both sides. Non believers pointing out the farce of believing in fiction, believers ending it by saying something like "if I am wrong what did I lose, but if you are wrong you are going to hell." agreed that this thread has remained pretty calm. I am glad when something works for someone, for you the faith you have works. For me I lost it and doubt it will ever be part of my life again. its good to have civil discussions.

The only thing wrong with discussing christianity or religion is that people seem to get butt hurt when their beliefs are questioned. Happens every time. I find it just as interesting that while discussing morals, there is no agreement that they have deteriorated or not over the years. Obviously we are all exposed to the same information but process it differently and come to different conclussions.

it is hard to fathom that a god all knowing would damn for eternity millions upon millions of people who were never even exposed to a certain version of what it takes to go to heaven. Aliens visiting earth and causing the miracles of the bible is much more believable. Is god a man or a woman?

don't look at it like that, I prefer to see it as a thread within a thread

blasphemy

it confuses me greatly that christians have different beliefs. Was edumacated in catholic institutions of learning through grade 12 and not once did they mention rapture. I am pretty sure the nuns aren't liars.

yeah, so if they got too tired to tread water anymore explain how I am here.

I wasn't left behind

my ancestors were really good at treading water

It just struck me as odd that he mentioned specifically every type gun rights but totally left out carrying

I was referring to being in the same boat as you are.
