INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY! This guide describes actions that may or may not be legal in your location. I do not advocate, condone, or practice satellite TV piracy. It is not my fault if you use this information illegally. Should you choose to watch signals from a "bird" with pay channels, and decrypt them, you legally can only watch the channels you pay for, meaning you have a set top box hooked up to your TV as well. I suggest deleting the channels you don't pay for from the channel list in the program I discuss below, so you aren't tempted to watch them illegally. By reading below this bolded text, you agree the author, Matt Parnell is not responsible for any illegal actions or consequences you face for doing otherwise. This is aimed at Dishnetwork, but will work with other providers. I do hope you only use channels/provider(s) you pay for, and have legal rights to watch! It isn't my fault if you break the law.

The argument involving free will vs. election by God is a hot-button issue right now. When it comes down to it, it doesn't matter either way. We all know that God is sovereign, and perfect in all of His ways. Whatever His ways are, they are perfect, and I don't think we should question them. Whether or not He chooses us, or we are given the choice to choose Him, we should make our focal point Jesus. The divisive issues aren't something we should argue or think about. Just know both sides of the argument, believe what you want to believe, and don't argue about it. This causes division among the people that make up the Church, and division is the last thing we need in the world of Evangelical Christianity.

GET IT HERE!
This is better (in my opinion) to AllPeers! It reminds me of Hypernix Gooey (if you have the old gooey install file, please send a copy to admin@mattparnell.com)... But this extension will allow you to:
"> MEET your fellow website visitors
> SHARE with them any folder on your PC
> leave a BLOG for those that come After you "
Basically, it lets you chat, browse and download files p2p style, and leave notes for others who visit using the extension. It is slated to be ported to IE, Conqueror, Opera, and Safari in the near future as well. Hopefully you use Firefox, though.
I think this is the best extension ever! It is better than AllPeers, because it allows anonymity. Go get it now, start sharing/chatting/"blogging" on the sites you go to! Right now, I have found Google.com to be the most active. Lets try and change that, and make digg.com the most active site! Lets get this baby to "Critical Mass!"

"Congress shall make no law RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION, or PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESPECTING AN ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION - Means that the government cannot recognize any church as the official government church, nor can it found, fund, or support any denomination/church. That doesn't mean that everyone and everything in government has to remain secular, and that the government officials cannot use their beliefs in their actions. This means also that religious symbols in/on/around government property are NOT illegal. The buildings in DC and various state capitols have Biblical scenes, symbols, and verses engraved on them. You going to go chisel them off?
I could argue that the Masonic symbol, which is on many publicly funded buildings, and on signs stating the names of various towns across the country, is a religious symbol. Nobody would try to remove that, but if it were a Christian Fish, or the Cross, someone would scream until it got taken down.
PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE - The government cannot keep you from praying, worshiping, or any other action of your religious beliefs, provided they don't break any laws. This means you CAN pray in schools. Congressional sessions start with prayer to Yahweh, the God of Christians and Jews. People are sworn in on what? The Bible. How anyone gets away with saying anything about "separation of church and state" existing in the Constitution is beyond me.
That doesn't imply that the National/State/Local governments, nor those who make them up have to keep religion out of their discussions, and daily actions

Please note that this applies to Evangelical Christianity. I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ, His sacrifice for us, and His salvation. If you don’t know Him, and would like to, don’t hesitate to ask in my forums. God has been pressuring me as of late to discuss some theological issues. I am finally following through. I have, through my short life, witnessed many types of Christian doctrines, organizations, and the like. I have some issues with some practices and doctrines. These issues do not apply to only one denomination, but to many, perhaps all of them. Some issues are more a church to church type issue, though. Please do not hate me, get angered at me, or cease friendship with me because you don’t agree. I have no problem with friendly discussion, though.
