Go to church today. Learn about who Jesus is to you. Learn about
why you need Him to forgive your sin.
I'm seeking to live my life in service to The Lord Jesus, who is
the Christ (the savior of mankind). I seek to do this in hardware
and software. And I seek to encourage you to do the same in the
things you do.
Won't you join me in serving The Lord with your life, your skills,
your talents? Won't you honor God in all the things you do, for
He loves you greatly, and calls you to truly great things. Give
back to Him the fruits of what He first gave to you (your talents,
abilities, opportunities, influences, knowledge, experiences, and
passions). Acknowledge Him as He truly is, and feel that inner
love, joy, peace, and happiness continually ... even in the midst
of your struggles.

"Suppose it's all true, and you walk up to the pearly gates, and are
confronted by God," Bryne asked on his show The Meaning of Life. "What
will Stephen Fry say to him, her, or it?"
"I'd say, bone cancer in children? What's that about?" Fry replied.
"How dare you? How dare you create a world to which there is such misery
that is not our fault. It's not right, it's utterly, utterly evil."
"Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates a
world that is so full of injustice and pain. That's what I would say."

In article <eZGwD.92780$tq....@fx01.fr7>,
the documentation for his newsreader. As a result, he doesn't know how to
specify which newsgroup is the target of his post. He doesn't seem to know
how to post religious posts to religious groups - and thus they seem to end
up in either comp.lang.c or this one. Somehow, he has figured out how to post
to the C groups; he seems to have figured that out through trial-and-error.
In fact, I think this describes Rick's general approach to computing. He's
just not a book-learning kind of guy - he just kinda feels his way through
it, picking up odd ideas and odd skills here and there - sorta like how
most people learn, say, Excel. You can see this in the posts regarding the
"CAlive" thingie - and all its related stuff. It's like the classical
story of the blind men and an elephant.
And, in case you think I'm just slagging him, remember that Rick has said
exactly these things in his own posting history. He's made it clear that
he doesn't like books - basically, because of his learning disabilities, he
can't really read - so he rarely reads technical documentation of anything.
And, so keep in mind, that classical religion pretty much maintains that
reading anything other than the Bible is sinful, so it makes sense that
he'd want to steer clear of it.

What you do not grasp, Kenny, is that Jesus came to save all people.
This includes the people that do not go to religious groups, or to
any religious activities, etc.
What Jesus offers is salvation from sin and eternal life. He offers
this to all people who will be saved. His blood was shed for all
those who will be saved, but not one drop of blood was shed for those
who won't.
You do not realize that Jesus cares about all people ... not just
those who go to religious groups. His primary mission in this world
is outreach to the lost, because the saved have already been saved,
and His Holy Spirit guides each of those who are saved continually
to do more and more outreach.
Someday you'll know the truth, Kenny. I pray for your sake it's
sooner, rather than later. It will end much better for you if you
realize you do have sin, that sin costs you your soul, and that
God Himself came here to this Earth to give you a way out of that
literal DEAD-end street you're on.
Would you now like to reply with some attacking, mocking post and
signature line that you think is so funny, but is really just spew-
ing hurt and hate upon yourself and all people who encounter it?
Or are you ready for a new chapter in your life, one where you seek
to learn the truth for real?

most cases I am able to find the content online, copy-and-paste
into a reader which then does text-to-speech for me so I can hear
it. Then I grasp it far more easily, and can often read along with
what I hear.
It's from dyslexia. It's not a lackadaisical attitude toward read-
ing. It's a legitimate impediment. And I do read. It just requires
my full concentration and is very tiring, a very difficult thing for
me to do. And, I do make a lot of mistakes when I read only.

watch videos, or listen to sources rather than reading, and at a
rate of probably 50:1 because it's much easier for me. I don't have
any impediments at work when I hear things, only when I read.

things I have posted specifically about me begin against are
things written like the C Standard. It reads like legalese to
me, and I cannot understand it. Over time, as I see little bits
posted here and there, I am understanding more of it, but when I
go to try and find something in it, it makes no sense to me.
But by comparison, I am studying the OS/2 kernel presently, and
am going through all of the technical documentation regarding
OS/2's full API. I plan to begin a project to create a new open-
source OS/2 called ES/2 beginning in late 2019 or early 2020,
after CAlive is completed and released.
This requires a tremendous amount of technical reading, and is
very difficult for me to do, so I'm doing it piecemeal, and am
re-writing it into the ways I think when I encounter the various
parts, so in the end I will have documentation written in the
way I can use it, rather than in the way it was written by others.

mean here is "Christianity" maintains that the Bible is the true
authority, and that other sources are not to be trusted when they
espouse something contrary to the Bible.
For example, if you read only Genesis 1 you will find that God
explains completely clearly how He created everything, and made
each thing after its kind from inception, meaning evolution does
not exist, that all of life including us was created, and we are
not some cosmic accident, but we were purposefully tailored to
by a loving God who seeks an eternal relationship with us. He's
literally made us to be with Him in eternity, made in His own
imagine and likeness. We are literally as He is. We are not
Him, but are like Him, just as you are like your parents, but
you are not your parents.
-----
None of this is a joke, Kenny. You turn toward mocking with
nearly every post you write. Mocking Keith, Bart, me, and many
other people on the things they write. It speaks to your very
low sense of self-esteem that you have to demean others to try
and make yourself seem higher in your mind. You do not realize
that all you're doing is demeaning yourself, and bringing forth
harm to others, making yourself judge and jury on the quality
of people's thinking, their effort, their experience and train-
ing, etc.
It is in no way the proper way to be, and I truly pray that you
will one day snap out of it and see and follow after the truth,
because on that day you'll find the inner joy your life's been
lacking probably since childhood.
