If this was true it would kill the nextbox. I'm sure Microsoft isn't this dumb.

It wouldn't kill a damn thing. In fact, consumers would see better prices overall.

People that have it happen more than 2 or 3 times are doing something wrong, enclosing it in ovens or putting stuff on top..5 times without taking care of it properly seems unlikely. DeadMagazines

Not really true. I'm on my 3rd, and I keep mine well ventalated. I think the deal with multiples is this. When you are unfortunate enough to get one that red rings you send yours in and get a refurbished red ring system. Looks like the chance of systems re-red ringing is really high, because it seems that everyone that gets thier system "fixed" ends up getting another red ring. Then again, some folks never get it.

It isn't breaking news though. Whats the big deal? Everyone here knows the systems red ring. If you don't want one, don't get one. If you do want one, know there is a good chance it will red ring. Nuff said.

It is broken for me. Whenever I try to navigate through the menu bar on the left it takes me to the original page.

Quite frankly I view those as just parables with a message, not as actual historical accounts, something which is a recurring thing in the Bible. This is not some sort of new idea brought about just in the light of modern science; even in its earliest days there was a Christian school of thought that preached an allegorical interpretation of the Bible.

My father in law is a Pastor for the Methodist Church. He has a VERY open mind, about science, other religons, ect. He tells me the bible is really meant to be taken literally. There may be some small sects that preach that, but most do not. Besides, I do believe this is supposed to be about why people don't want to be christians, not about why people would not want to be christians except for one small sect that hardly anyone knows about.

1. One who kills, steals, rapes, or whatever else is one who has hatred in his heart, and is thus incapable of loving his neighbor as himself. Do you not agree that it is better for the individual not to do such things? And would you not commend someone who convinced someone to lead a life without such hatred?

Of course I would. I have had two people that were close to me murdered, and in henious ways. Not just run of your mill shot in the street. I condemn those murderers, but if they repent and profess thier love for Jesus they will be saved? What a load of mallarkie.

Christians view God as more or less a big prick

Hit the nail on the head. If I did believe in that god, I would view him as evil.

He wants you to bow down to him? He is all forgiving, yet he ended the world by flooding it all? He can do anything, and one of his powers was to make a perfect apple tree, but he wouldn't let his own two first creations eat off it? He will send you to hell for killing, stealing, rapeing, lying, cheating, and a huge list of other things unless you repent? He would let you get sent to hell for drinking a beer? He cast one of his angels from heaven for questioning him?

Sounds like a nice guy.
