| Tim Rentsch <txr@alumni.caltech.edu>: Aug 14 11:53AM -0700 > <snip> > bas cannot know the actual runtime type of the SomeClass > reference. [.. elaboration ..] That's true, but I didn't say it did. In fact I mentioned already that this might not be known at compile time. Here is that paragraph; note the last sentence: and there is a call to bas() where (this is important) the dynamic type of the argument is SomeClass, the same thing is true: any member function calls 'blah.something(...)' in the definition of bas() do not depend on whether the member function something() is virtual or not -- which function gets called is the same as in the foo() case. (That property holds even though we may not actually know at compile time that it does.) The point of the example is that when the dynamic type is the same as the static type, virtualness doesn't matter as far as calls in bas() itself is concerned. The same principle holds whether an object is passed by reference or by value. But when an object is passed by value, the dynamic type of the _parameter_ will /always/ be the same as its static type, because calls by value discard any additional dynamic type that may have been contained in the _argument_. Call by reference is essential for the usual object-oriented mechanisms in C++ to work. |

He temped Adam to sin, and when Adam agreed to follow Satan's guidance instead of God's guidance, sin entered in, and with it all death, disease, and decay. Satan is not a good guy. He winds up burning forever in the lake of fire: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+20%3A10&version=KJV 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Sin is the enemy. Jesus takes away sin. He is the "good guy," and all of us have sin, and all of us need Him to forgive us so we won't join Satan in the lake of fire. This information is offered by God through Christians to all people. It's before you. You can examine it to see if we're pushing some agenda, or if we're teaching you the truth. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

We must keep in mind that Satan was (is?) the GOOD GUY in Christian belief. While their psychopathic God took delight in murdering newborn Egyptians, making Abraham /nearly/ kill his child, making an Israeli general /actually/ kill his child (just because she was the first person he saw when he got home), and killing off the whole population of Earth in a flood, and making laws where children should be stoned to death for disobeying their parents, and so on and so forth, including the original sin which he orchestrated and then relentlessly punished mankind for, while their God did all that their Satan the Deserter from God tried his somewhat incompetent best to make people think for themselves and turn away from God's authoritarian terror regime, promising them heaven on Earth (just a forecast) if they did, which of course -- as today -- they refused to do... And here we are. More seriously, I think it's fair to conclude that the authoritarianism of the three Abrahamistic religions has had mostly negative influence on the development of a technological civilization, especially in Europe, suppressing science there for roughly 2000 years, but also in the Middle East, where they never got out of that religious morass. Rick is an example that even in Europe and the US there are people who never got out, who still deny science. Stat fact (by Gallup): 80% of US citizens disbelieve evolution, they think the Christian God had a hand in it... Cheers!, - Alf (off-topic religion bashing mode) |

I have to humbly disagree in a sense. <sci-fi> Imvvho, Satan is like some sort of goody too shoes pendant stab you directly in the back piece of feces. It can entice a "child" wrt a human vs the knowledge and sheer power of the devil itself. If the target finally ends up listening, and does evils bidding: Satan instantly attacks by ratting him out to God. Saying something cra% like: "Look at your so called blessed child God! Look at the horrific things is has done. What a scum bag. Ahh, let the target burn in hell forever! Ha!!" God replies: "My Child would have never even thought of such things oh devil, you old snake; dragon, hydra of lies and terrible demonic deception. You taught him evil my son, therefore you are sentenced to death for using your superior intellect for pure evil games cast out upon my innocent children. Your fiery arrows of hell are a horrific abomination of my holy will. Rest in peace ol' dragon of garbage. Ker BLAST! Kaboom...." </sci-fi> [...] |

A thousand years ago Islam was actually fairly progressive and saved a lot of knowledge of the greeks and romans that might otherwise have been lost and also had a big influence on mathematics, all of which in turn helped the european renaissance. Its only recently its turned into a religion for psychopaths and idiot sheep. As far as christianity goes, the religion itself certainly helped cultural and artistic endeavours and a lot of early scientists such as newton were true believers - though whether that was because they were that way inclined or simply because of the culture of the day is anyones guess. Also the church kept records and gave people some sort of education which they otherwise wouldn't have received, albeit most of it religious. >example that even in Europe and the US there are people who never got >out, who still deny science. Stat fact (by Gallup): 80% of US citizens >disbelieve evolution, they think the Christian God had a hand in it... Tbh its probably not just the US where thats the case. And lets not forget that evolution is quite a complex topic and the average IQ in the west is only 100 - thats the *average*, half of people are even dumber than that. And in sub saharan africa its around 70 which explains a lot about that continent, but thats another discussion: https://iq-research.info/en/average-iq-by-country However I don't think Rick is stupid going by his answers to programming issues, he's in the 2nd category - the brain washed. Maybe one day he'll wake up and realise the Bible is just story a book (and like all the best lies has a grain of truth here and there) written by men and mistranslated down the centuries , maybe not. |

I used to believe as you do. I mocked Christians, thought they were weak, brainwashed, etc. But something happened to me in 2004. I was asked questions by a Christian I didn't know the answer to. I could not honestly say I knew definitively if I was right or wrong in my beliefs about Biblical teachings because I had not read the Bible, but only remembered what I had learned in church growing up, and in my Youth Group, etc. So I reckoned within myself that I would read the Bible with my co- worker (the Christian who had asked me questions) so I could read what it said, get a solid understanding, and then be able to systematically dismantle his beliefs / arguments when I had the facts. However, when I set my sights on knowing the truth about the Bible said, my heart was then changed from within by God. He drew me to His Son and was able to see Him as God, as Savior, and I knew I was a sin- ner who needed forgiveness. I asked Him to forgive me and have been forever changed. I've tried (in my flesh, in my life) on many occasions to go back to the ways of the world. But once you are born again, the old man no longer exists as the sole existence you possess. You are augmented by the forgiveness from God. It brings you alive spiritually, which then changes everything about your perspectives, thinkings, goals, etc. You are still here in this sinful body, and it still drives you toward all manner of worldly things, but the spirit continues to guide you, and God continues to come for you when you get too far off the path He would have you be on. ----- It is a literal transformation. New life out of prior death. And until it happens to a person, it's not something their flesh can know, so they can only conclude it is insanity, or brainwashing. But when it does happen, that person is transformed. It's why I've told Leigh and others to NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, but to go to people in a local church around you, ask for people who have been "born again for real," and ask them about the change. I'm not asking anyone to believe me. I'm telling you what happened to me, and I'm telling you to go and verify this from others as well. I'm asking you to seek the truth, so that you can also find it. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

You bear my exact sentiments and arguments before I was saved. I made a video about it back in 2008: Seeing Jesus' Eyes in November 2003: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivvvs8ZqPUA This dream was on the night of October 31/November 1, 2003, nine months to the day before I accepted Christ as my Savior. -- Rick C. |

Jesus Christ never existed though; he is a fictional character made up by a couple of Romans in the latter half of the first century. /Flibble -- "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." |
