I'd respect an atheist more than I would a psalm singin hypocrite any day.
Have you ever noticed when you split green red oak that it smells like cat piss?
Probably the majority of the red oak I split out in the Ozarks was post oak. Has a pissy smell to it. Wasn't bad seasoned. Most green red oak I've worked with smelled bad.We have red oak here, I band sawed a bunch one time, no pissy smell that I can remember. What kind of oak are you refering to? Our elms stinks a bit and our hemlock smells of tannin. I like wood.

But you believe in a myth you can not touch, see, hear or feel. I suggest different drugs.
That Red Oak comes to you from the Amazon via Home Depot. Your native White Oak was mostly wiped out by its use in boat building and ship building over the centuries. It's really nice stuff but it grows SLOWLY.
I can see the light, I can feel the warmth, I can hear the music, there is the one. The big one. The whole in one.peasant.![]()
Red oak comes to me from the West River Valley, about a half a kilometer away because I won't cut the ones on the road in front of the house.I still have some planks over the shop from our last cut.![]()

Hardly any Oak around us here in Oakville.
Odd isn't that? Has it all been cut out then?
Too many people breaking great windSomething's been killing them off.The forests around here used to be 80% White Oak and now it's closer to 10% ... root rot, developer rot...
The man was deeply Jewish Selfsap.No, no; when Jesus came: those who believed in him became the Christians, while those who disbelieved him remained as Jews.
Jesus was sent to the Children of Israel to guide them, but most of them remained stuck to their corruption and blasphemy and they refused his call and even persecuted and tried to kill him.

On the contrary, Jews do not believe in Jesus. If they believe in him, they will be Christians.
The Ugly Zionists and their ancestors in fact, persecuted the Christ and tried even to kill him, but God saved them from their dirty hands.

Looks to me like one set of goalposts is planted in reason and evidence, the other's planted in faith and revelation. Probably a majority of people think faith and revelation are useful ways to understand the world, but there's no general agreement around the world on such matters, in fact there are murderous disagreements about them, and there's no reliable means of transmitting their results, as selfsame's efforts here clearly show. He's convinced nobody of anything in years of trying. You can have your faith, I can have mine, and neither of us can give it to the other. But on matters of reason and evidence, there IS general agreement, and a method of transmission. And they demonstrably work very well, our technology is entirely a product of them and they have relieved and prevented much human suffering on a scale no faith and revelation based thinking ever did, or ever could. They've been unevenly applied around the world so there is still much avoidable human suffering, but the basic fact remains: they work, faith and revelation do not.I think it's important to stay open to possibility. The whole "my religion is better than your religion" fight, like the religion vs. no religion fight, cannot be won by either side when we don't know where to plant the goalposts.
