Comments: | already beat my AR total best from last year...btw, the stats for this year are going to start over again instead accumulating from previous rankings right? it'd suck if it didn't...i like the idea of archiving previous year's rankings. the GB is approaching 2000 entries again: today or tommorow roughly i've got to archive it and let it start over...i'll have all 3 archived gb's on the front page of the site when i do until i revamp the downloads. sorry for missing the 56...i was actually looking for that yesterday when i was updating. |

Comments: | religion is a lot like politics...people defend their views passionately. like, a lot of you are from europe, well i HATE socialism, i think the government should just get its stinking nose out of the economy, out of business and lets not have an income tax of 50% (actually if youre rich and are from denmark its 68% and one time in sweden they tried to have a 90% tax rate for people making seven figures) more like 0% and let the invisible hand, not the big stick, do its work...oh yeah and guns...dont control them because all that does is take them away from law abiding citizens, leaving the criminals with free reign to use them to their own ends...now all you dyed-in-the-wool socialists are probably feeling something similar now having read this to what very religious people feel when all the atheists just said there is no God. you wanna take shots at me, tell me why we need gun control and why the government MUST tax our incomes 50% for there to be stability right? or some of you just might not care either way, political apathy is becoming quite a problem these days, especially here in the US where you get some good character-building jail time for smoking pot. anyway, you say there is no god, and religious people will be angered, you express one political view, the opposing one makes steps uo to defend itself, because people are just that way, they dont wanna feel ridiculous in their views. only problem is...thats the stuff that goes on different forums. this is a MINESWEEPER website. leave the religious insight and political discourse for private emails or forums designed for that purpose. |

Comments: | nicely put Joel. I couldve put it better if I had tried! only joking - im not bothered with trying to explain anything concerning religion. Another Matt, you did sound as if you were preaching but I dont particularly mind. All I care about is the fact that the world is a shithole at the moment. I believe in being a good person and making the world a better place. i dont mind what people believe, as long as they are decent humans. that's what counts as far as im concerned. It's practical. |

Comments: | Religion revisited:
I hadn't been to the site in a while and noticed the recent discussions. It seems that throughout history, most of the major wars and mass injustices have been caused by religious ideals - christian crusades, ethnic cleansing, muslim terrorism, white supremacy (they defend their views with the bible), gay bashing, etc.
Of all the religions around the world, not one has solid proof of actual existence. Many christians laugh a the idea of big foot, space aliens, witchcraft, cults, and religions that are not their own because of lack of proof. However, they are so willing to believe in a god (allah, buddha, etc.) that wrote all the rules (bible, koran, etc.) that we should follow without question. They even ignore scientific facts that prove we are very advanced monkeys (a walk through an evolution exhibit at a major museum lays it out very simply).
I won't say that I'm 100% sure that there is no higher power. Just as I won't say that I'm 100% sure that there are no space aliens. But, it seems likely that there are billions of people around the world controlled by superstition. This keeps some people in line and also causes major problems and injustices. I'll stick to logic, helping my friends and family, and just being nice to people. If I go to hell for that, at least I'll have some good company.![]() |

Comments: | I decided after a month of not bothering with intermediate, to see what i could do, and it only took me about 20min. to break my record. The 3bv was 39, and I had two earlier boards that were better but messed them up. Well i am done with intermediate for awhile again(As you guessed i am not a big fan of it). Thats only my fourth sub20, but I am sure I can do much better. Still working on that sub60, and trying to get it on film. I got in the addicts group on Yahoo! and was impressed at all the stuff on there. Complements to whoever organized all that. Oh yeah, what's the current website for the active ranking, I've been meaning to do that for the new year and all. Hopefully it will give me insentive to play beginner and int. Pleasant sweeping. -Ry |

Comments: | Just wanted to say that all that matters is that you're born again and believe that Jesus Christ came to earth as a perfect human and died for our sins. The denomination doesn't matter, it's missing the main point. Romans 8:28 says "All men have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God". We can't get to heaven on good works, or by denomination association. You need a personal relationship with him and nothing else. email me if you have questions |

Comments: | @Sandy: Good job, breaking 100 is always great.
I agree with Matt: eventually (no less than 300 years, 500?) there will be no popular religion. I see religion as a creation of the human mind's 'will to truth' (ie. our intelect requires answers). This is one of the side-efects of a highly evolved brain. Many great thinkers have written about this (Foucault, Marx, Granmsci, Althusser, Baudrillard, Nietzsche, Bataille, Lyotard). I think that everyone should read their theory, especially people like Matt, Roelof, myself, etc, who seekto understandwhy religion and ideology control our lives so efectively and efficiently.
btw: I hate the French and Germans, because the get to read most of this stuff in the original, bastards![]() |

PS: to those people who will come back and remember that I work on Sundays, I will tell you that I work for a home that kids go to live (maybe government ordered, maybe placed by family) when they have behavior disorders, or have been physically, sexually, mentally, or emotionally abused. These kids don't take the weekend off. It's not as if I'm off to work at Wal-Mart on Sundays. ![]() |

Comments: | I wouldn't agree with Matt's generalization. Stop 100 people on the street and ask them about the latest advancements in science, and 99 of them won't be able to tell you anything intelligible, or if they do, they can only cite a gloss-over that they heard in the 10 seconds the evening news dedicated to it. They can't tell you who did it, what it means, what it's based on, or what it leads to for future research. In reality, people are getting more lazy (certainly not more busy, though they would like you to believe so). They don't want to get up early on the weekend to go spend one whole hour in church, and they really hate the idea of giving money to support a church (not to get into heaven, but so that their priest/pastor has something to live on, and some amount of money that the church can use to better the community). So the advancement of science making religion seem more arcane is not a valid explanation in my opinion. If it were, you wouldn't see any scientists or science minded people in church (which there are, other than myself), and a church wouldn't be any more full on Christmas or Easter than it is on the 19th Sunday of Ordinary Time. It might be easy for you to say that Christians/Catholics are hipocrits for partying up on mardi gras (and how dare you make the generalization that we are pedophiles, by the way? the Catholic Church is an easy target. Do some of your own thinking/research and find how many other religions have this problem in their ministry or elsewhere), but the idea and euphoria are similar in many religions (ex: bar mitzvah). Some people take it too far of course, but there are people with varying interpretations and dedications to every religion and belief, even non-relgious belief! There are the devout at one end of the spectrum and the casual at the other. just like politics, just like reading books. Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth, since most (given: not all) people here seem to have a grudge against people who believe i |

Comments: | Tacit atheism rules nowadays, especially in america and probably in europe as well, but dont hold me to that because Ive never been to europe. A couple hundred years ago, people were burned alive for questioning the religious beliefs of their town. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING was god's doing and your entire life was all about the afterlife; people hardly acted without some form of forethought as to what their action may reflect upon them at judgement day. Nowadays, as science is adavncing peoples understanding of the earth and the universe and archaic practices are becoming trite, christians are beginning to disregard the laws laid for them in the bible and live more material lives and act mostly within the pretext of atheism when it comes to sins and whatnot. I, for one, welcome this casual atheism as a stepping stone to eventual riddance of religion from the earth, but thats my opinion and while Im sure a lot of you share it, I dont want to slap the religious folks in the face. |

Comments: | From what I know, when Jesus came in the new testament he abolished the rules of Keshrut(spelling) which is why Catholics dont have to eat kosher foods and what not. basically, these rules were initially created because of certain food born illnesses caused by improper preparation. By the time of the new testament, preparation was to a higher standard, (proabably pretty similiar to today, according to some things I've read) so these laws were notas pertinent. Chatholics are supposed to keep the sabbath holy, but it seems that in todays fast paced society, the sabbath rules have become more and more lax. -Word (of God?) |

Comments: | i had the 'privelege' of having a very strong religious education and only dropped it when i was 17 after a few years of searching. marc's right about sabbath; christians chose sunday because jesus rose on sunday and they wanted to differentiate themslves. catholics don't follow the old testament regulations of the first five books (the 'torah') any more than protestants; religious jews do. christians believe jesus was the fullfilment of the laws; for instance, if the community had sinned, the priests collected a prize bull, laid hands on it in a ceremony and transferred their 'sin' onto the bull symbolically. They then slaughtered/sacrificed it outside of the town to sybolically rid themselves of this sin and to 'cleanse' the community, based on the maxim "there is no forgiveness without the shedding of blood." (which takes more explanation to understand properly). without getting too complex, jesus was supposed to have never sinned, and being god's son he was worth more than a bull, and by being killed on the cross, he served as the ultimate sacrifice for the world. thus, there is no need to perform all the rituals and sacrifices of the old testament because we've already been covered if we accept it. |

Comments: | I didn't intend to make it a discussion about why religion is stupid.. only about why christians don't obey the bible's rules. An add-on for my last message: I think the reason the things the onlooker said were not prevented by god because he doesn't want to intervene in the peoples' choices- he wants them to have a free choice. |

Comments: | if you think the catholics are the moer lax of the two, you have NEVER been to the american south. not a great tradition of tolerance here; you play cards on sunday youre going to Hell...you smoke weed, youre going to Hell...kiss a girl before marriage (let alone have sex!) youre going to Hell...vote for the democrats and youre going to Hell...you stay out past 9 pm and youre going to Hell...if you believe anything REMOTELY different from each little protestant denomination respectively (presbyterian, southern baptist etc.) youre committing blasphemy and (of course) are going to Hell...in fact, IM probably going to Hell now because i typed this post! yes, those protestants love to threaten you with Hell if you dont conform. catholics are busy buying tickets to heaven for money, getting drunk at mardi gras or molesting small children... whats happening to christianity??? |

Comments: | Well I see James and "an onlooker" sent messages while I was writing mine.. Anyway- onlooker, God wasn't surprised when the things you mentioned happened- he was just angry. And the people who believe in religion think that all these things are his plan although I don't really understand it.. |

Comments: | Sorry for making in a minesweeper guestbook a discussion about something without any connection to minesweeper.. But I still want to understand- if the Catholic people believe in the old testament- why they don't obey it's rules. The sabbath rule for example is very obvious, despite it catholic don't obey it (and there are many more examples..) |

Comments: | the christian church is riddled with paradoxes. consider this: if God is infallible, why was he so surprised when eve bit the forbidden fruit? why was he surprised when cane killed abel, in fact why did he get mad at all? why did he have to kill the whole human race and start over with just noah and his animal friends unless something went wrong, ie did NOT go according to God's plan? how can the jews EVER be accepted into the kingdom of heaven (and the bible says they are God's chosen people) if they say jesus is not the messiah (which the bible says you MUST believe if you are to enter heaven)? ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Comments: | i'm not religous at all. i'm not even baptised and never go to church(not even on christmas). but here's what i think.
christians are seperated into catholics and protestants. catholics being the guys with the old testament and the stricter rules and protestants the ones with jesus. (![]() ![]() |

Comments: | I guess christianity is based on the words of Jesus, who as I recall entered the big book in the second half, known as the new testamente. Might be the reason. - Lanyjé |

Comments: | christians dont adhere to the old rules because that would be hard. aside from a few of the stricter forms of christianity, most of them are simply designed to get people to join... show up and pray once a week and do whatever you want for the rest and you too can go to heaven! |

Comments: | FINALLY I got a new record on intermediate. It was a 30 3BV board, so obviously I didn't play it as good as I could have. Oh well. I'm happy that I shaved a second off of my record, but with that board and a good day I could/should have gotten a 12 or 13. Well, at least I know I can do it. Happy Sweeping, all! Lance |
