I won't comment on the bible stuff. I may be a noob at space stuff but I spent 20 years in a hard core holly rolling church where my father was the pastor. I understand it more than I care to talk about and I have to be real careful with what I say so i leave it alone. I love hearing others thoughts on it though and one might be surprised on my beliefs in all that. It is not the norm.
I wanna hear more
My beliefs are completely different than most in the traditional churches. I can't find a church that even remotely believes what I do, so your comment intrigued me
I spent 3 years behind the pulpit and then stepped down because my beliefs completely changed. And I won't preach something I don't believe, so I had no choice but to leave the church.

Sorry religious or political talk is not allowed and I got to follow my own rules. It is dangerous ground and 99.999999% of the time it offends someone so it is safer.
I did go to lego land this weekend and it was quite fun. It was Star Wars weekend which made it even better. Went to buy the MindStorm set but its $350!!

No worries! I'm one that doesn't allow myself to be offended over every little thing. That's one problem in our society today lol. Everyone gets offended over every little thing. But that's my opinion. All I'll say on this subject. Don't wanna break any rules
I'm not much of a star wars fan

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.

I always wanted a MindStorm set, but wow...that is an expensive hobby. The first time I looked at the prices, I thought "Nope, I have to find something else" lol. I have heard online that the people who go to competitions and stuff like that have often put in $5,000+ into it

You would be amazed at what you can buy if you focus
every bit of space money you have at something. We don't often sit down and count up how much money actually goes into going out to eat, buying shoes we didn't really need, going to see a movie, buying a new game, etc. To most people today, that kind of stuff is a given, and most people don't particularly look at that as "spare money", but if you focused every bit of that into
one thing (and a few people do), you would be amazed at what you can get over some time.

I don't go out and eat. I don't go to movies. I don't date. I don't drink. I don't party. I buy 2 sets of shoes a year so I always have one backup. That's about it LOL. But being disabled, I don't do much. Even if I weren't, I am not a partier or drinker or the type to go out and eat all the time.
