Well, to be accurate, the vid showed him holding nothing, THEN his legs dangling, THEN again holding nothing. But hey, who am I to question a murkle from Zimbabwe? [/quote]
Haha... if you look closely, before they zoom in to the guy's feet, you'll notice the door on the right is closed. After they zoom back out again the door is slightly open.
This indicates to me not only did this guy levitate, he also used his magic powers to open the door.
You aren't doing it wrong if no one knows what you are doing.
Welllll, it wasn't Joseph that impregnated Mary (was she his "beard"?), God is supposedly asexual, which is way more "unnatural" than LGBT, Jesus chose the company of men and, as far as we know, never hooked up with a woman. In other words, you're guessing. Isn't it heresy to impute characteristics to the holy that aren't justified by scripture?
Gender and sexuality is a human trait. By definition, an all-powerful being who created the universe cannot be human. So it leaves the question of Joseph, who (apparently) by no fault of his own found himself with a pregnant wife who tells him about angels talking to her. So assuming the selection of Mary by the all-powerful being who created the universe was not random, may she was selected because her husband was gullible and might not care anyway if she popped up pregnant.
So, does anyone know what the theory is on why a genderless, asexual, all-powerful being who created the universe chose to create gender and sexuality? By definition, his (her, its?) options were infinite.

The "God" of religion was created in the image of Man, not the other way around, and those who create and maintain religions have a hard time with the "all powerful being who created the universe" part without a severe over-simplification and humanization.
Understood. I was just wondering what the believers say is God's reason for bi-gender sexuality being most common and the only "moral" way. It's not like God had to follow a rule book.

Because sex is good. God is also good. Therefore god created sex.
QED.

That was a truly hilarious Sam Kinison routine.
People are crazy and times are strange. I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range.
I used to care, but, things have changed.

Seriously? I really enjoyed the late Sam. But I didn't know that routine. I thought I thought it up when I posted. I'll see if I can find it.
I like the one when he was going to solve the starvation problem in Africa. "Don't send food...send suitcases." "it's a DESERT! Nothing grows in the DESERT! Go where the food is!"
Without regard to whether that's a good idea, I wonder exactly how he'd go about doing that. And if it's possible to do that, could we close up Westboro Baptist while we're at it? And maybe any other church a violent criminal was ever associated with. Yep, that's the ticket. Get rid of crime real quick that way.

But the guy is just full of common sense and wisdom!
Why stop with closing mosques, though? Why not round them up along with the Mexicans ("humanely" of course) and send them along to Mexico? Just add a few more train cars.
Beloved reality TV star and child molestor Josh Duggar, idolized as a cherished paragon of traditional family values by presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and other social conservatives, is getting sued for over $500,000 by the woman he paid to have sex with.
Danica Dillon was working at a strip club in Philadelphia when she met Duggar. She says he paid her $600 for several lap dances, and that he gave her an additional $1,500 to have sex with her in a hotel room. In her complaint, Dillon says Duggar "manhandled" her so viciously that she felt like she was being raped.
TLC has recognized his progress:
TLC announced that the Duggar family is returning to the network with at least two specials, the first of which will air by the end of the year.
They don't call it The Learning Channel for nothing.
... The Breathitt County Courthouse has displayed a charcoal sketch of Jesus since 1981, and Judge-Executive John Lester Smith says it’s not coming down – despite a recent letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF).
“‘Til a federal judge tells me otherwise, I intend for it to be as it is,” Smith told the Lexington Herald-Leader.
The official – who’s not really a judge, by the way, more like a county executive – has not been idle. He has devised what he apparently believes is a loophole around the First Amendment: Jesus no longer hangs alone in Breathitt. Thanks to Smith, the Lamb of God now enjoys the esteemed company of MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, Snow White, Pinocchio and that famous saint, Mr. Magoo....
I think the Freedom From Religion Foundation should drop its opposition and announce that it was FFRF's idea to include Jesus in that gallery.
