When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

didnt you say you went to school for programming Kilika?

No, not exactly. I was trained to make video games. My BA is in Multimedia/Digital Animation. I was a 3d modeler and texture artist in video game production. Programming wasn't my thing. Bad math skills! Best I could do was XHTML and CSS. The applications I used were Maya, 3ds Max, Photoshop, etc.

Back in the Navy in 1981 I took a couple programming classes for understanding the hardware I was trained to work on (computer main frames and flight simulators), but the gaming didn't come till much later on in life.

My game genre was FPS games because of my time in the military. Tried the RPG and RTS games, but not much interest in them. Too slow. I wanted fast action. Mostly played the Battlefield series (even ran a team that played matches against other "clans"), but I've played most of the popular FPS games, from Counter Strike series, HALO, Half-Life, to FEAR. I made a couple of custom mods for Battlefield 2, and would have for 3 but they changed business model and stopped offering a map editor. That move by DICE and EA sent a lot of players to other games like Far Cry/Crisis series that you can still make custom player made maps like with the Unreal series. For what it's worth, I learned A LOT about gaming and the making of games. Even served 2 years as a floor supervisor at the Game Developers Conference.

The changes that were taking place in gaming and the move to cloud gaming got me ticked off and rethinking my career choice. At the time, I wasn't exactly diligent in my faith, sidetracked for a time "in the city", but God was still there, showing me things, and He showed me gaming wasn't where to be, nor could I justify playing war games that involved killing humans. Just cannot justify it, so God pulled me out of that stuff and back to the ministry where we all belong.

Gaming is just a distraction, no more or less evil than any other worldly thing. Just not edifying or expedient. So this thread could be summed up real quick. Simply avoid anything that causes you to put it before God.

"[It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor [any thing] whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak." Romans 14:21 (KJB)
