Call on God, but row away from the rocks.

"Quicker than I can tell it, my hands failed to hold, my feet slipped, and down I went with almost an arrow’s rapidity. An eternity of thought, of life, of death, wife, and home concentrated on my mind in those two seconds. Fortunately for me, I threw my right arm around a projecting boulder which stood above the icy plain some two or three feet." Rev. Elijah Lamb

Hah! Good one. But at least he can run, and even walk quickly down a ramp.
And, I'm sorry for being mean. To the dogs I mentioned.

Re: Difference between God and a 14er climber?
Sean, not denigrating anyone's belief, I'm glad you're happy with what you believe. But, I'm always very intrigued by someone who doesn't find religion at odds with science. Some of your comments in this thread lead me to believe you fit that category and are eager to have the discussion, so I'll play along.nunns wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 8:09 am
But based on a deep reading of the Bible, I have to believe that what it says about God, man, sin, heaven and hell is true. Again I cannot objectively "prove" any of those things; there is always an element of faith for everyone regardless of what we believe.

It seems like you believe the creation story, right? Do you believe it literally? (i.e. 7 days, sun shows up on day 4, etc.)
Do you believe Hell is inside the Earth as described in the Bible?
How old do you think the Earth is?
How do you reconcile fossil records with the history described in the book?

I have real vague recollection that years ago somebody's post wishing people a "Merry Christmas" was removed from the forum because, of course, that type of thing offends people. Am I mistaken?

One has a popular book, lists, and arbitrary ‘rules’ that people keep bickering about.
The other is a 14er climber.

One makes you get up early Sunday morning, worship at the alter, and suffer for your sins.
The other one is God.

Re: Difference between God and a 14er climber?
Wait, seriously? 6 pages in and the underlying joke, as I interpreted it, has not been realized....
You dont climb 14ers, you hike them (ie God knows you don't climb them, but that you hike them)
^The nerve, what a f**kin elitist.
