In these hard financial times, everyone is trying to get money back. Unfortunate but a debt is a debt.
Romans 13:7-8 says
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
as per the bible, the church should pay.
Why would the company suddenly take it upon themselves to bill a religious order 14 years *later*, and demand back payment for that far back? That's completely ridiculous. I mean that period is twice as long as the Israeli statute of limitations, how can they honestly think they can get paid for that, much less deserve it? And I'm pretty sure regular billing would be expected to lay claim to compensation for services rendered, certainly ethically speaking that would be the case.
I'm sure that whatever the final outcome, someone will mention something related to "divine intervention" for the resolution.
Turns out there is no god, so the pretense the church was working on is invalid.Quote:

I dont think believing in anything makes you invulnerable to stupidity ,carelessness or life - but then again it depends what you believe in so perhaps it is a question of faith and what you perceive to be reality and the icing on the cake. ( I dont mean space cake here ) ;)

He was probably just happy for the publicity. It's not like the people he takes money from care about evidence in the slightest.Quote:

What a paradox , eh ?
Its not that either are bad, but they are bad when used incorrectly ( and im talking about reason / logic here too )
After all even logic / reason gives you emotional satisfaction , but using emotional satisfaction to dictate a logical outcome is something else .
So what motivates you to be logical , fear , pleasure or perhaps something more spontaneous like a dream or Eureka moment ?
From nothing comes something till something is nothing else

If he was doing it for free then fine, but when you are taking advantage of people for financial gain then it needs to be stopped. Call the Samaritans, they aren't pretending to be anything the aren't and they wont need your card details to help you.

Its a shame that people's perception of religion is made on these obviously false ideas.
Back to the church not paying its bills....
If there was a written and signed agreement of the free water deal, then I suppose no back payment should be made and going forward they should start paying the bill. If it was a gentle mans agreement with nothing but a handshake, then its a different story.
Wow, that guy is slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. :O_o1:Quote:
