Trolling for Google.

Why would you do so now?
1. Keywords are the least thing to get your rank up.

"How Google ranks pages

Sites' positions in our search results are determined based on a number of factors designed to provide end-users with helpful, accurate search results. These factors are explained in more detail at http://www.google.com/corporate/tech.html.

In general, webmasters can improve the rank of their sites by increasing the number of high-quality sites that link to their pages. For more information about improving your site's visibility in the Google search results, we recommend reviewing our webmaster guidelines. They outline core concepts for maintaining a Google-friendly website."

2. You still have the sign-up system disabled...

3. For keywords, there's a keyword system in html, just open the site in a editor and add the keywords.
(/styles/subsilver2/template/overall_header.html) that's a very useful file.

Sorry if i said anything wrong... i haven't slept yet...

I just downloaded a few more Paint.net plugins, now it is almost as good as Photoshop, and it can open .psd files now too.

I might get to work on a Remnant banner now...

I absolutely hated my theology class last year, learning about the catholic church and its beliefs.
At the end of the year, we had to make a powerpoint about what we learnt, and our "spiritual experiences" along the way. We had to include images on each slide.

I pretty much ended it with something along the lines of...

"I've learnt to question my faith more, and not to just accept what the church says. Like really, half of it doesn't seem to make sense to me, so why am I following it?"


^ Image included on powerpoint.

Currently my favorite picture ever.

Anyway, the thought of the picture made me happy.

[Rocky]

Lol did they bomb you on it because of that?

[Aumaan Anubis]

Naw, they can't really grade you on, "personal revelations."
Not to mention, this was very end of the school year, probably so close to the end that there was no way she could get the final grade in. It was probably just filler work, or she was just looking for some feedback on how the class was.
Either way, the picture demonstrates both points...
"Why the hell am I in this class?"
"Why the hell do people listen to the Church for everything?"

I found the class hilarious. Like, here, I'll give an example.
"The Church says that premarital sex is an offense against god. Sex is something that is shared in the bond of marriage..."
Like, for that particular teaching, I personally think it's bull.
But everyone in the class is like "mmhmm, ok."
And I'm the only person sitting there actually questioning why it is taught.

It's just that, I'm Christian, but I'm one that only believes in and follows what Jesus has said or taught. So, this, "Church," which thinks it knows exactly how God wants us to behave, is just useless to me.

So, yeah, that's the reason I put it there. I think that few people actually have gone so far as to question why they believe the religion that they do.

Anyway, not sure where I was going with all this, but needless to say, my powerpoint presentation did not express my joy of the church.

My dad got pissed at me for not calling him while I was skateboarding. He broke my monitor and made a massive dent in my wall. He took my truck away and he is going to cancel my cellphone.

He apologized and I ended up getting a bigger, better monitor, the truck back, my cellphone back, and a new sound system in my room that I tweaked to fit my current monitor cause it was completely different.

I was going to post this in the rant thread 'cause I'm kinda traumatized and I will never look at my Dad the same way ever again, except I had a good outcome despite the strange change in relationship.

I think that few people actually have gone so far as to question why they believe the religion that they do.

It is very common for thinkers man. I think about this constantly. There is a girl in my class who is a genius. I mean absolute genius. She thinks so much that she doesn't believe in Christianity but she believes in an ultimate source: God. She fines no reason to do anything she does. She lives every second like she is about to die. I swear, this girl has unbelievable grades but she broke down the details about life and said something like: Why the fuck should I believe something that isn't justified by proof? Who is to say the Jews, the Islams, the Muslims, the Christians, the Mormons, or whatever are incorrect. NO ONE is correct, is the correct answer.

Just do good things and help people is my philosophy.

Why in the hell should I have a religion based on a God that I believe is true and think every single religion beyond it is horseshit?
What makes my faith the correct faith? Everyother religion thinks they have the truth about the afterlife.
The fact is that NO one has it correct. There are forces beyond our comprehension.
I am not kidding. What if whatever we believe will happen to us after we die is exactly what will happen? What are the odds that our 90% of our minds that we don't use are spiritual thoughts that are generated when we die? 90% of our brain is only functional in our spirit the 10% is when we are humans.

I question my faith all the time but I always revert my thoughts to helping other people get through their problems. That is my philosophy about faith. I believe in an ultimate source of power; God; and I believe that if I do good and make people's lives better than that is what is best.

Do you guys believe that our human bodies are vehicles for our spirits? What gives us life and not a rock? I believe a spirit gives us life. I believe spirits move on when we die. Our human bodies are just vehicles for our spirits.

That would scare the shit out of me to even go back to your house O.o Although the sound system sounds quite nice

As for the religion and philosophy posts, I've even gone as far as to wonder if maybe this is just a dream, and there is something larger than this.. To many possibilities heh. Although I know that a many of people follow a religion for comfort, that someone is always watching them and protecting them.
Of course there are the few religions that a few follow out of sheer fear, but this was mainly quite a while ago.

I've thought of the whole this could be a dream before too, because you only see the world from your perspective, so you could be imagining everyone else. But some philosopher, don't wanna look it up, said "I think, therefor I am". Basically saying that I can't be thought up or dreamt, because I can think.
