It depends on the person, but for me, the increased freedom in College is what makes it better.

This is well... I ditched classes in high school when they wouldn't benefit me at all (like watching a hollywood movie) and I would get penalized for it. College I don't have that problem. I love the freedom, living in an apartment with awesome friends and in most classes I actually learn a good amount of stuff where in high school they would drag out the teachings over weeks.

[QUOTE="ferrari2001"] Remember 1st of all the tree is symbolic. There probably wasn't an actual tree sitting in a forest somewhere with a big sign that says Don't Eat. The tree symbolizes anything that goes against God. We choose to do those things, and it's true God could have prevented it, but would that have been the correct choice of actions? If he had prevented us from doing anything against him he would effectively take away our ability to choose. God would much rather have us willingly choose Him than follow Him because we don't have a choice. I doubt God could have made the world any other way than it is. He could only make it different by effectively taking away our ability to choose. It's up to us to recognize this gift of free will we have received and use it for good instead of bad. clayron
I know the tree is symbolic. I was just speaking in the context bible. Well, to continue the discussion. I still have an issue with that. For one, he allows us to make this choice. Okay, that's fine, but now we have gotten to the point where there isn't one choice anymore. That one, symbolic, deviation from God spawned into so much ugliness. Lying, killing, fear of consequences, greed, etc. And religion gives us such an option that we believe in God or we submit to burning in hell, a philosophy I do not really take stock with. So there really is no choice. Believe in God or burn in hell. Does anyone really want to burn in hell, assuming you take the bible as representative of God's word? No, so therefore, you have to believe in God. The concept of choice is just a facade. And I strongly believe God wants the world in a manner much different than it currently is. I can not quote the scripture but there have been times when God was furious, or sad, or regretful, or jealous, etc. and I do not believe an all powerful being wants to feel those things. I think God had a vision of us but we have perverted to such a point that he just remains hands off until he does whatever he decides to do. Which may constitute as a plan, of sorts, but I do not think the way the world currently is was ever a part of any plan.

I'm only responding to part of your comments cause I don't have much time. I just wanted to say that there is a choice. God Judges all of us according to our knowledge. If we were born in a tribe in some remote part of Africa and never get to hear of Jesus Christ does that mean were going to hell? Of course not... Any christian that says otherwise is not Christian in my opinion. Also in the bible, 2 Corinthians I believe, paul speaks of our resurrected state. As he speaks of this he says there are different glories and one glory differs from another in brightness. He compares these brightness's to the stars moon and sun. Heaven being that sun. From this we see paul is telling us that there isn't just Heaven and Hell, but there are degrees. God knows us perfectly. He knows everyones situation. If you never believe in god your whole life and were a good person your much better off than a christian who believes in christ and does more evil than good.

For Christians, I have a question for you. When someone dies today, people say that they're now in a better place: in heaven with god where they will remain forever. Now, my question is, if god wants us in heaven, why are we here?

In Genesis, god creates the heavens and the earth, and puts Adam and Eve on earth, not heaven. If gods will was for us to be in heaven with him, wouldn't he of put us in heaven to begin with instead of creating us as humans that can only live on earth? Some may say that things changed after Adam and Eve sinned and Satan came into the picture, but doesn't gods will not change? If gods will was for us to live on earth, then it still is, so why would we go to heaven? And If his will is for us to live in heaven with him, then it still is, but that still leaves the question why we are here first. Can someone enlighten me?

It's all about progression. We've come to earth to gain experience and knowledge. We experience things in life that give us a better understanding of things. Without pain and suffering we cannot know what Joy and happiness is. Progression = more happiness. God wants us to be happy as he is. I know all denominations in Christianity have their differences and one thing that I believe that may differ is that we can continue to progress after this life, but only if we are able to return to God in "heaven".

It would be sweet if they could have separate brackets or something... Like you prove your over 18 or even 16 and you get to play with only certain people... although there are annoying adults who act like their 12 as well...

HAHAHHAHAHA nice!

A young man goes into a drug store to buy condoms. The pharmacist says the condoms come in packs of 3, 9 or 12 and asks which the young man wants.

"Well," he said, "I've been seeing this girl for a while and she's really hot. I want the condoms because I think tonight's "the" night. We're having dinner with her parents, and then we're going out. And I've got a feeling I'm gonna get lucky after that. Once she's had me, she'll want me all the time, so you'd better give me the 12 pack." The young man makes his purchase and leaves.

Later that evening, he sits down to dinner with his girlfriend and her parents. He asks if he might give the blessing and they agree. He begins the prayer, but continues praying for several minutes. The girl leans over to him and says, "You never told me that you were such a religious person."

The boy leans over to her and whispers, "You never told me that your father is a pharmacist."

A guy walks into the bar... A little down cause he had a crappy day. He sits down and orders a beer. While waiting for his beer he notices the guy next to him has a little man on the bar playing the piano. The guy is amazed by this and says "this is amazing! Can he play lots of music?" The man replies "yeah ask him to play something" So he begins to ask this little man to play some beetoven, mozart and others. Sure enough this little man can play them all perfectly! The man is so impressed by this he asks " This is amazing! I have to know where you got him at?" the man replies "Well if you look over there there is a back door the goes into a back room. In that room is a Genie and he will grant you one wish. So the man goes to the back room and sure enough there is a genie waiting. The genie tells the man "you may have one wish so choose wisely". The man thinks about his life and determines that most of his problems come because he doesn't have enough money. So he makes his wish " I wish for a million bucks". All of a sudden the room is filled with ducks quacking and flapping everywhere. The man manages to swim through the ducks and get back into the bar. He walks back up to the man who he first talked to and said "what is this? I didn't wish for ducks!" The other man replies "you think i wished for an eleven inch pianist?"

"I think the worst time to have a heart attack would be during a game of charades."Head_of_games

HAHAHA

I hate how most of the jokes that come to mind aren't legit for gamespot... ahha

There were two old men who were golfing one morning. These two have been golfing buddies since they were young, but outside of golfing never did anything together. This particular morning they were on a golf course that was parallel to a freeway. They began golfing and as they were on the 4th hole a funeral procession began to go by on the freeway. One man stopped golfing at this time and took his hat off and put it over his heart until the entire procession had gone by. The other golfer just watched as his buddy did this. He had never seen his buddy do anything like this before. Once the procession was gone the golfer put his hat back on and they continued to golf. The one golfer couldn't believe how respectful his friend had been and decided to speak up. "Hey what you did back there was really neat. I've never seen such respect that you showed and I think thats awesome. Your a good man." The man turned to him and said " ah heck it's the least I could do... I was married to her for 50 years."

Post some of the jokes you know so others can get a laugh.

1. Would a Lion cheat? No, but a Tigerwould.

2. Whats the difference between a porcupine and a ferrari with two lawyers in it? One has it's pricks inside.

3. Whats the difference between a hoover vacuum and a harley davidson? Where you place the dirtbag.

Hopefully I'll remember some more from the jokes you guys post (hearing other jokes always helps me remember some).
