Thanks for posting my question, and yea the reason I asked is because of his argument that evil is a privation which is in book 7 chapter 12.

Asteroid 2012 DA14 Close Call

(Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

I read your post about going back and forth about belief in God, but that you believe in God. So I was wondering if you've ever read "Confessions" by Augustine?

Read of it, about it, but never ‘it’.. and I should. I’d love to get in depth on it so I will make it a point to actually do that this year. But what I do know about Confessions that it seems to say that everything is good in so far as it exists. And that concept is interesting. I mean, murder and sin exist, in a way? And so does the death of infants and war.. so are they good?

I also know that Confessions points to a Neoplatonic system…

By the end of the summer I promise to know more and get more in depth. Life is about trying to figure out why we are here and what we are doing—it’s the never ending question and eternal mission of our souls.. why not start to read more in depth now, I guess.

They like me! They really like me!

Vlad the impaler lives to rule again. Putin wins the presidency in Russia.. feeling like the early 2000s all over again. Thought I doubt President Obama will refer to him as Pootie Poot.. and maybe he won’t stare into his soul.. but the new President Putin regime may be an interesting one for the world to deal with. Iran, Syria.. China.. the allies? Vs. who? maybe.. us?

War is always on the horizon, after all..

it looks like you dont believe in god. do you?

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. But people believed in “Horus” a lot sooner than Jesus. But I certainly don’t want to tell people who confide in Jesus that they are wrong.. because maybe I am.

But here is the deal.. I believe in Satan because this world is insane. Seriously. I believe that evil exists. So I have to believe in some type of God… And I fear that since evil is so prominent maybe Satan is .. the creator? This is my fear. What if, right? What if..

So do I believe in a God? Sure. I just hope the creator is a godly one.

'TORNADO MIRACLE' ANGEL BABCOCK LOSES BATTLE

Very sad to see the tornado miracle Angel Babcock lost her battle tonight and perished.. hopefully to join her family in an afterlife…

And… I hope there is an afterlife……..

Some Sunday morning sidewalk news

Toddler found alive in field—but her entire family is dead..
She was ripped out of her mother’s arms during storm..

Towns sift through rubble..
A predictor for the future? Not really..

There is trouble brewing on the sun, too.

A sunspot almost four times as wide as Earth itself is rotating onto the solar disk.. Earth-effects could become stronger as the sunspot turns toward our planet in the days ahead.. chances of Mclass flares and even Xclass flares exist..And the rest of the story: Death on wheels: Dutch mobile euthanasia units to make house calls..

Talk about insult to injury

Light snow is now falling on some towns that were destroyed by the tornadoes on Friday…

A road to no recovery for so many..

The town of Marysville Indiana, a town of less than 2,000 people, has practically been wiped off the map by the tornado outbreak this week..
Recovery seems to be far away..
Some homes were dropped 100 yards away from where they were.. the noises of chainsaws have now replaced the roar of the tornadoes.
The cleanup process now starting..
A young baby was found alone in a field.. alive. She is in critical condition but word now has come that the baby girl’s family perished in the tornado.
More than 100 tornadoes on Friday—a record for March and as many as we see in an entier month. All in one day.. All in one day……

Get ready: It may be an above average tornado season in the United States

...if you make it through December .. maybe you'll be fine...

Get ready to hear about asteroid 2012 DA14. It hurtling towards the planet earth and speculation is building online concerning how close to earth it will get — or if it will hit earth..

And just when you thought Armageddon was going to occur December 2012. Maybe the Mayans were off by two months.

Here is the storyline: A newly discovered asteroid named 2012 DA14 is about to come close to earth. Lots of sources online, for better or worse, are proclaiming the end to be near..

But lots of confusion also exists on the asteroid, too.

For example, this site says it will be closer than some satellites.
The always fun RT.COM speaks of it in a more apocalyptic tone..
And finally..
NASA.. the experts in all this..Well.. they are watching it too and giving us lots of graphs and numbers to showcase the whole event.

And finally, here is a YouTube video with horrific music showing us the progression.

And after all of this, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little creeped out by the chances that earth could face a perilous future.. But this soon? February next year?

Asteroid 2012 DA14 is too close for comfort. And maybe if we make it through February 2013 we will just say .. it was close. Hopefully. If we’re here. I suppose live every day of this year like it’s the last, eh?

Brooms are standing on their own again

I think it has something to do with gravity. Or the earth.

Or this: A fad!

And it happened before. Just Google it.

But that doesn’t mean I didn’t post a broom standing on my Facebook tonight. After all, it’s fun to hop on the Viral Bandwagon now and then.

Sometimes there is no recovery.. This image hit me a little more than others from the tornado outbreak.. These two folks who appear in front of a mound of wreckage may have been surmising their own house.. the comfort they know was taken off of the ground and moved forever. Away.

And now they simply stand and stare.. in wonder as the wander around to try to salvage any memories of the times that were. Maybe lucky enough to find an old photograph .. maybe they’ll be happy if they find a memento that was stuffed in a drawer in the house that is not just laying on top of the debris.

I don’t know their story. And as a matter of fact it is their personal story and their own business to know their story. So I don’t have to know or want to.. but I can only imagine that their story, and a big number of other people too, are going through a re-write of a story.

Their lives shaken and torn apart .. fabric of security of a home. That is important. It’s a foundation. A place of small luxury in some instances.. and a place of happiness and privacy. Ripped apart.

No, sometimes, there is no recovery.

Don’t you agree…

There is no recovery…
How can you look at a photo like this and not agree?

The total average of tornadoes in the month of march 94

souplines:

The total number of tornadoes yesterday? 95
Global warming? Nah

I was wrong earlier.. well not wrong but way off. I said 70+ tornadoes but didn’t realize it was up to 95.

The previous record was set in 2006 (not long ago, eh?) .. Broken now if all these are confirmed.

A record that I don’t think anyone really wanted to beat..

Not out of the woods yet with this storm system.. And the death toll sadly isn’t done rising..

Violent storms kill 31, death toll could rise

But even more: the storms continue today. So despite the media reports of the storm being written in past tense, don’t let your guard down if the sky above is stormy.. Follow your local weather—and maybe it’s time to get a NOAA weather radio. Good investment for times like yesterday and today..

The day after tomorrow: Images from horrific damage due to the tornado outbreak

There are also some more images here
