An M14 is more military, the civilian versions are semi autos. I try keep my setups simple going bush. A good light bolt gun or double barrel shotgun, not much can go wrong. Semi autos are more for knocking down herds of something, pigs and camels etc. Pest control. But if you are going bush...

Some Apostles were fishermen and lived a great deal of time in the wild. I could relate to the large haul of fish in the Gospel because I caught a massive haul of fish in my throw net. I had to flush some fish out to even move the net to shore. Initially I thought the net was snagged on a rock...

And I always take large bags of potatoes, carrots, pumpkins and onions when in a group. These can keep well for quite a long time stored well.

This is why I keep a set of bags and a knife and rope in my vehicles. I have always had this problem. Animals, fish, birds are all dinner to me sadly. Mountain clouds, mountains, sunsets, storm fronts, sunlight in trees, open ocean, still moon lit or star lit nights all give me a sense of...

Man, you have been totally fooled by photoshopped images, makes me laugh. You must be really keen to hate the Catholic Church. It’s been cropped and wide angled to make the side wall windows look like they are eyes up front. I’ve been there, and it looks nothing like a snake. Don’t be so gullible.

The Priesthood and celibacy is voluntarily, people take vows voluntarily knowing what the life and vocation entails. What Paul was referring to was Gnostics who banned marriage altogether in their communities and who were also strict vegetarians. They also denounced sex and sexuality and the...
