It doesn't take much convincing to reject an assertion of a loving God who tortures a creature who didn't live up to a standard. I think we can agree there. I did indeed see something worth believing in, and I hold to it not with an expectation of reward but as expectation of wrong made right, justice if you will. A trust in that judgement is a good thing like hoping the teacher comes out quickly to the playground to stop a couple of boys from beating the snot out of each other. I do not think faith as self produced virtue, I want to lay it down for what I hope to be behind reality. Too much spark to our personalities to think I will be looking at a void when it is done instead of you all. All together in a wonderful place. But now we have spoken of hope.

Might be less skid resistant. They are already starting to plastic for bridge decks, they call it FRP. It's nice for design because it's so light weight. Also a big plus is salt won't deteriorate the plastic as it does in steel or traditional reinforced concrete bridges.

Faith is being viewed more and more negatively, it makes it easy to adopt this view. I mean be careful here. Not all who possess faith are bigots, hard headed, etc.. Get ready to roll eyes as you find me to be a believer in a God who will succeed in restoring the entire creation into perfection. Apokatastasis meaning the restoration of all things spoken by the apostle Peter acts3. Posted an article on rethinking hell conference 2015 held by Fuller Seminary might want to check out, esp Peter Hiett. This to me has the true meaning of "gospel" which is actually good news to everyone. What was done by the Jewish messiah was able and will accomplish this "salvation" for all mankind, somehow, someway. That is faith in something I not only want to believe in, I do, and I don't wish anyone to sink into despair which I believe is the hell Jesus means when weeping and gnashing of teeth. I don't understand why all this suffering but things are not right yet. I have experienced faith as positive and don't think it's a bad case of "wishful thinking". Only One has the power to make something true

At a glance on this snap picture I thought it was a couple of blurry hearing aids and I thought "nah, not interested"

Fair statement about a lot of catholic snaps, perhaps as we grow as a tribe content will vary more. Since I have checked in tried to add other content. Also I saw your CS Lewis link which should be more than welcome here in my book as his volumes line the shelf in front of me. Of course as always encouraging one another and helping the body in unity especially during these disorienting times is our best purpose.

Assuming this was on a spread shallow footer. Obviously failed as approx 50% of bridge failures do, by scour which undermined this abutment. Sediment is normally carried and re deposited in any rain event, especially this record event. It would have been difficult to determine how undermined such a footer had become since sediment was re deposited as normal events subside, once again covering the footer. It is a difficult problem that inspectors receive training on from the National Highway Institute called "Stream stability and scour for highway bridges". It is a complicated engineering issue that has many variables, this was probably highly erodible sandy soil. And had the abutment been better protected it could have forced flow to damage the next pier. Very fortunate that only one was hurt.

"Since therefore it is so great an undertaking to write about prayer, in order to think and speak worthily of so great a subject, we need the special illumination of the Father, and the teaching of the first born Word himself, and the inward working of the Spirit" -Origen On Prayer, thanks for sharing, very helpful.

2015 Rethinking Hell Conference
Fuller Theological Seminary, various speakers. I found it very helpful as our ideas of hell have been caught in the dark ages. But the good news is being made known and paradigms are changing
