I'm not sure irks is the right word for me. Saddens might be better. It's our fallen nature. Though in my own life it certainly irks me in addition to saddens me.
Romans 7:15
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

"What is it About Mankind That Irks You the Most?"
People claiming to be pastors because they got a little piece of paper off the Internet claiming so!
I hate deceitful people!

True.. guess that is the number one reason behind all of our misdeeds.
I kind of get the impression that was to be expected in the beginning when spirit was mixed with animal nature. Could spirit overcome the nature of the self interest of all food seeking creation which naturally exceeds the boundaries of self? Everything here is food for something else so gain at the expense of others comes naturally to our animal nature. God did consider wiping us out at one time. If God had GM'd Himself into a kangaroo instead, we would be oblivious to all this and still running around without the hassle of picking out a wardrobe. Imagine now what could go wrong as man mimicking God, inputs his idea of intelligence into artificial intelligence. How long before computers eat the apple?

Agree ! - The same like false prophets “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits” - Matthew 7:15–20 |

Prophet... a person chosen to speak directly for God and to guide the people of Israel
There are a lot of evangelicals and cult leaders out there claiming to speak for God, but are they falling under the actual definition of prophet in the true Hebrew sense of the word, one sent by God to directly pass along His message, or just people mangling scripture for self benefit? Do we use the term more as a convenience today rather than in it's original meaning?

What is deceit? Is it not a form of original sin, in order to serve self, gain at the expense of another? To back it up do not deceivers determine for themselves what is good or evil in order to self justify those actions?
It is clear how the simple act of Eve has caused mankind to spiral out of control, and justly reaping the rewards of their self serving actions. Those who are deceived are often deceivers themselves in other ways. Such is mankind.

Man is always our own worst enemy, often building what is good and always destroying it in the end. Perpetual failures from what God intended us to be. ...link

Am I crazy or what....?
This last link you posted, Tim, looks like an upside down rifle that blew the day lights out of the guy playing it. Even his hair went up in smoke, oh my!

Watch this disappear like every other non-profitable cancer discovery that comes along. Long live profitability at the expense of others. ...link

I find it interesting how the media increasingly in the last year (especially regarding growing numbers of meat and produce contamination) no longer advises consumers to return contaminated or recalled items for a refund, but now stress the consumer just immediately throw them out. Who gains at others expense as usual? Why should those responsible keep their profits?

I actually don't see anything nefarious here, I think the media is simply erring on the side of caution as it is easier to just throw something away than to hold onto it to return it, whereas it might get used... I'm sure you could still go back to your grocery store for a refund later. At Kroger they can look up everything I've purchased w/o a receipt. |
