Alright, this may not be scary at all, but it really scared me when I was a
child. If I'm not wrong the title is "The Ultimate Disaster Movie"
with Mr Bean sneezing on the famous Whistler's Mother painting and ruining it.
Until today, seeing the painting just gives me the creeps.
Great improvement from the first =) I love the sky.
The water: can be improved upon, I feel that the current 3D image of water you
are using doesn\'t suit the 2D-ness of Byakuya and his surroundings.
Colour composition: perhaps you could make his rose more reddish, otherwise the
picture would be just blues and greens.
Trees: Much better, although having 2 trunks for a tree looks weird. =)
The colour composition is a little dull. It would be great if you could change
the colour of their clothes (if it is possible) or darken the shadows from their
hair. The text colour looks better after changing. =)
I suggest that the font be changed. Hmm don\'t really know how to explain it,
but this font doesn't really fit the serenity and cuteness of the picture. It
actually does tarnish the beautiful image. =)
God's plan for us was never for us to suffer. He created us sinless. We are
suffering as a consequence for OUR sins. Hey hey just before you blame Adam and
Eve for sinning "first", take a look at yourself. If you still think
you are more capable than them and that sin is their fault, then why is it that
you continue to sin today? All of us sin. I am no exception.
You may ask, why did God let sin continue? Well, we have freedom of choice. We
chose to sin. If he exterminated sin, we might as well be robots. God isn't a
dicator God. He didn't do that.
Suffering builds us. Without suffering, we will never understand how to cherish
people and things around us. Without suffering, we will never treasure
happiness. Without suffering, we would take life for granted. Trials either make
us or break us. Each trial is a test of faith from God. YOU choose to pass it or
fail it. If you trust God and put your faith in him, God will give you the
strength to overcome your suffering. "The Lord is good, a strong hold in
the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in him." Nahum
1:7
There may be those that argue such things as "you cant enjoy a meal because
someone else is out there starving". When you empathize with starving
people out there, the MORE you will enjoy your meal. People often ask why we
only cherish people or things when they're gone. Sometimes we stubborn humans
need a push factor to help us wake up.
But that's not the main purpose of suffering. As mentioned earlier, suffering
builds our character. You may have all the riches in the world, but without
character, you are nothing. For Christians, character is the only thing we bring
to heaven with us. Not our wealth, not our possessions.
For those debating about Hell, maybe these Bible verses may help to enlighten
you a bit.
"As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the
end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and They will weed out
of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw
them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth." Matthew 13:40-43. God sends ALL WHO DO EVIL into the fire. You
won't want any evil in heaven, would you?
Hell is not present now. Hell will be made AT THE END OF THE AGE. There is
nobody burning in hell now. The dead are sleeping. If some of the dead were in
heaven and some in hell now, then wouldn't be the second coming of Christ be
contradicting? "...for a time is coming when all who are in their graves
will hear his voice and come out - those who have done good will rise to live,
and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned." John 6:28. If
people were already in heaven/hell, where would we "rise" to?
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23. Yes, WE sinners are supposed to die.
But because Jesus died for us, we have eternal life.
"A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them,
they will not be found." Psalms 37:10. HELL IS NOT BURNING FOREVER. God
will not let the evil burn and burn and burn forever and ever. They will perish
in "a little while".
My apologies if I have repeated some of the things that you guys have said
earlier on, I have glanced through all of your posts but I could not scrutinize
all of them.
Although I haven't seen the pictures, I'd just like to give my two cents worth.
I'm a Christian, and personally I have close muslim friends as well so please do
not think I am prejudiced.
It was wrong of the Christian papers to publish such pictures that criticize
another religion. Although the countries are free countries where democracy is
practised, all the more such pictures should not be published - what ever
happened to those efforts for racial harmony?
However much I feel that those pictures were wrong, I feel that the muslims
should not react in such a manner. Threatening the lives of other civilians who
have nothing to do with the incident - how does this reflect on their religion?
I feel that all religions should be tolerant to one another, and if somebody
else is not happy with your religion, just let him be - after all, everybody has
freedom of choice, you shouldn't expect everybody to agree with you.
That's all about I have to say, ultimately I hope that religions should be more
understanding. I'm sure that God would never want religions to be criticising or
fighting with one another.
Love! Everything other good feeling stems from love.
Kakashi!
English as in the voices are english? If that's the case, I agree with you. Seeing Japanese anime in english is just plain weird.

No, no, never never uh uh.
Sayonara! I used to sing the song in Kindergarten
I am inspired by many of your posts.
