Well, you know one person's reasoning is another's asshatery.

[ovyyus]

Don't be too hard on yourself, Walt. Parasitic belief and asshatery go together like drunk and disorderly.

I can't speak to all the 3000 clients you mentioned, yet I can dismiss Judaism because there are no practicing Jews in the world today. Whether the law is truth or fiction, no Jew adheres to Levitical law. What's to follow?

Since our poster boy for religious ignorance made an uninformed comment about Judaism, I had to respond here. We can move this discussion to the Off Topic Forum if there's interest.

What the death cultists don't understand and do not want to hear is that nowhere in the Tanach (X-tian OT) is there ever a blood/animal/human sacrifice prescribed for intentional sin. It doesn't exist.

All the blood/animal sacrifices detailed in Leviticus are specified for unintentional sins only.

Yes, Lev 17:11 says there's atonement in blood, but again only for unintentional sin.

The only method for repentance described for intentional sins was/is personal repentance and remedial action to make up the damage done to others.

This is exactly what David experienced when he was forgiven for murdering Bathsheba's father. No blood sacrifices required!

Therefore human sacrifice has no power to atone for intentional sin.

In Deuteronomy 12:30-31, God calls human sacrifice something that he hates, and an abomination to him, 'for every abomination to the Etrnl, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.'

In Jeremiah 19:4-6, God tells us that human sacrifice is so horrible a concept to him, that it did not even come into his mind to demand it from his creation, 'They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind.'

The death cultists try and get around this problem by claiming that the crucified Jesus was a God and not a man and therefore OK somehow.

But this immediately creates a new and untenable problem in that it is generally understood that Gods do not die.

For a God to die in human form and return to his native immortal state within three days is no sacrifice at all!

So hopefully our poster boy is now educated on why Judaism can never
worship his death idol and will always remain a "life cult".

Dwayne,

Thanks for posting the links to your material source. you have obviously opened the door to new sources which lead to new ideas. Art's post to affordable Forstner bits is also a welcome site.

I have to agree that what you purchased is to small for my research. With lousy eyesight it is easier for me to think big. I have not built any designs less the four feet in diameter in years and the current build is six feet.

Yes, Bill I am still kicking, have more irons in the fire than I care to discuss. Automotive type timing belts and belt material purchased by the foot can be real handing for a number of things. Have not tried anything like a sun and planetary gears but I see no reason why it cannot be accomplished.

Hey Ralph,

You're welcome.

Looking at new parts and materials certainly can be inspiring, and it seems one can find things on ebay at near wholesale prices, too, which is great. Also, it seems to me that more parts manufacturers and supply stores have online sales now, which is nice when looking for the more hard to find items.

I forgot to give the link of the company from whom I bought my bearings, btw:

http://www.vxb.com/Default.asp

I bought from them through one of their ebay auctions, though. They also have an ebay store, which I believe this is the link for:

http://stores.ebay.com/Bearing-Wholesal ... 7675.l2563

If you catch an auction at the right time or find just the right listing, you can maybe get their items a little bit cheaper through one of their ebay sales. I think I saved a little bit of money that way.

Of course, there are plenty of other sources of bearings on ebay, too.

When it comes to looking through parts catalogs or online listings, here are a couple of other companies I sometimes use for inspiration. I've actually even bought some things from one of them.

American Science and Surplus has some neat, well, science and surplus stuff:

https://www.sciplus.com/

...and for a similar site with a concentration on surplus electronics, Electronic Goldmine:

Oh, and we might want to change Art's link from the Australian ebay listing to the U.S. one to make sure we're choosing from sellers who will ship to (or within) the U.S..

Yeah, as far as my fine toothed belt material, maybe I can use it for makeshift gears if I ever get around to building that homemade over-sized pocket watch. ...lol

As far as my device builds, I do tend to keep them table-top sized, though they spend most of their time in the floor in front of my couch. I'd start thinking bigger if something were to actually work, of course.

Anyway, good luck with your inspirations and experiments.

That was hilarious.

[WaltzCee]

Don't

Dr. Oh Oh, I've had an epiphany. I think I've discovered the source of your ignorance. Correct me if I'm wrong, yet you suppose all believers in my client can be cookie cut; can all be thought of in the same manner.

Is that your supposition?

[ovyyus]

Walt, sounds like you're putting yourself at the centre of things again. Perhaps you're a polymath like jim_mich? I wonder if the forum can accommodate two.

[WaltzCee]

Walt, sounds like you're putting yourself at the centre of things again. Are you a polymath like the other one? I wonder if the forum can handle two.

Would that I were, yet no. Not really. I'm very average.

Now can you answer the question?

[ovyyus]

Sorry, you cross-posted on my edit. Are you asking if I think all believers are exactly the same? I doubt they are.

[WaltzCee]

Sorry, you cross-posted on my edit. Are you asking if I think all believers are exactly the same? I doubt they are.

Actually what I did was read what you posted then responded. You might of just gotten it right the first time.

I'll think about what you said. I need a break.

[ovyyus]

No problem. Can I ask you a question? What are you on parole for?


Dwayne, hope you don't mind the chit-chat while you build. Happy to take it elsewhere if you prefer.

[WaltzCee]

rape & murder.

[ovyyus]

And you said you were average :D

[WaltzCee]

Yeah, just your average joe
fu@&n' off and killing time.
catch you next time.

[cloud camper]

rape & murder. :|

Now that you know you can achieve complete forgiveness for your horrible
crimes without appealing to a dead meatsack death idol, you should be good to go in no time.

Besides, the dead meatsack is too busy being dead to forgive anyone right
now.
