User:Jesus Saves

Hi everyone! I'm Jesus_Saves, and that's the name I even use in-game. As you might expect, I am a Christian and I try my hardest to be an excellent example for Jesus Christ.

Have you ever heard the Gospel? It's quite simple, really. God sent his Son, Jesus, to die on the cross and pay the penalty for our sins - death.

That may not make much sense so I'll make it a little clearer. Jesus is God's Son. In essence, he IS God. He died so that we wouldn't have to be held accountable for our sins. Sin is going against God's perfect will. Have you ever lied, cheat, steal? That is sin. And one characteristic of God is that he is holy - pure, free of sin. And the problem is, holiness and sin are like light and darkness, which means that they can't be in the same place. So if you die, and you haven't accepted Jesus as your Lord (leader of your life) and Saviour (rescuer from Hell), then you can't go to Heaven because of your sin. But, Jesus, who didn't sin at all during his life, willingly gave himself as the ultimate sacrifice. He died and took on all of our sins - he became our scapegoat, assuming responsibility for all our nastiness. Now, if we will accept Jesus, we get to go to Heaven!

By the way, Heaven is NOT angels with halos strumming harps on clouds. Although that would make for a killer game of Frisbee. Heaven is full of music, with everyone doing things assigned to them, praising God, and spending an eternity having a blast! The place is so awesome that even things considered valuable here on Earth are used as building materials - streets of gold and Pearly Gates, for example.

So don't let people with bad attitudes towards Christianity give you the wrong impression. God is not all about smiting sinners and torturing people for eternity. God is about love, joy, and peace. I hope I explained it all well enough for you.

(Did I lose you yet? No? OK, good.)

More about me:

I'm a high school graduate whose taking a year off to build up the money to pay for college. I plan on attending Independence Community College in the fall 2010 semester. In the meantime, I'm working about 15-20 hours a week at McDonald's. I'm part of the cleanup crew, and I usually work during lunch hours and a little after that.

My favorite TV shows, outside of Christian television, are the Star Trek series (except Star Trek: Enterprise), Meerkat Manor and Ben 10: Alien Force. I have a wide variety of musical interests which encompass most Western genres except jazz. I am especially fond of techno and variations thereof. My favorite bands are Daft Punk, Hillsong London, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Avril Lavigne. My hobbies include computer programming and writing science fiction.

I will probably use this as my mission log. I plan on being a little more structured with my ships, i.e., x amount of Athenas, x amount of Ares, etc. I'll also give ships names if possible, and fleets named. Even missions and expeditions, perhaps? So if you ever hear me ramble about "Iscariot Fleet, led by the Prometheus-class Pentecost, is on its way to Alpha Centaui XI on Operation: Redemption" you'll understand. I seriously want to build a nice ship and name it the Enterprise.

Mission Log 13 January 2009 - Operation Outreach: Enterprise and Constellation make a quick flight to a planet in the solar system then return.

Naming Conventions?

Artemis-class: They'll be named after ships from Star Trek.
Prometheus-class: Since their design is obviously inspired by aircraft carriers, that's how I'll name them. My first Prommie, then, will be the Langley (I go by U.S. ship names.)
