I find it sad that of the compensation set aside a third of that is for legal expenses. The lawyers are the only true winners in this suffering.

I cannot wait for the follow on from this experiment, which no doubt involves a room full of monkeys on typewriters. :)

Do you have any plans to host the Kebra Nagast here? I see it contains a number of interesting early Christian writings. Would this be for your Apocrypha section?

And I thought Christianity could be confusing!

How would the issue of theological differences be addressed? I am not familiar with this. Do you have a scripture reference I can look up? Thank you.

I have noticed that even the liberal thinkers can suffer a similar form of fundamentalism. It does seem that too many people are dismissive of other interpretations. Fundamentalists are dinmissive of liberal interpretations and liberals are dismissive of fundamentalist interpretations. In both...

It is a long time since I read this thread. I did not see the whole list of topics as it was only showing topics from the past 30 days. Interesting to read this now. I think you finally solved the problem! Your apocrypha page is much improved. :) I noticed this time that the original link you...

I see Constantine as walking a path between personal faith and political expediency. It takes some courage to start a revolution and that is exactly what he started. Did he see a political opportunity? He possibly did. I cannot be reconciled with the suggestion that Constantine was only...

This is quite interesting. I had heard of cities such as Jericho having an extremely ancient pedigree going back to around 7000 years. I had no idea that there had been anything so utterly remote in history as this. What is the possibility that the Turkish sites have been wrongly assigned a...

I had heard something of this great masscare by the Saxons. I am glad to hear it is an exaggeration as it did not sound plausible either. I have read of how even the terrifying Vikings were eventually assimilated into the British way of life. Are the Britons really related to the Basque people...

That is a very good description of salvation! Certainly a good way to say how I see it myself.

This is all the sort of talk that can terribly rile the fundamentalists! Absolute morality is one of the banes of belief and has turned some friends I know into self-proclaimed judges of all things right and wrong as if omnipotent.

Now that is interesting and I had not thought of that? Perhaps that is why Brian felt like the life was coming through?

The point has been made and perhaps proved that our beliefs are shaped by our guiding experiences. I would like to further ask whether these exeperiences alone are what shape our beliefs or is there something else? By my question I mean to ask if there is some very particular hunger that can...

I never did post my results. I wonder why? I believe it was headed by Universal Unitarianism which was no great surprise. The test does not seem random but as Vajradhara has pointed out it does have limitations. Fun first. :)

My flaws? Too indecisive usually. Though when I do make a decision I do stick to it. In that way I can be terribly stubborn.

I managed to make it too. Did we lose anyone?

It is all a little strange and somewhat disorientating. I had hope for a smoother transition! I believe you did too! I had terrible trouble getting my log in to work properly as the e-mail link did not work for myself. Now that the big change is over have you any more changes planned? Or has the...

It is interesting to note the Tower of Babel story here. I have seen a suggestion of Babel being in Mesopotamia. That would mean that the Old Testament writers saw language originate in one place and then disperse out from Mesopotamia. It would be interesting to see if this was culturally true...

I like what you say about peace with God. I wonder if you have a more specific use of the word 'Salavation'? Sometimes I fear the word bandied around like a 'get out of jail free card' in Monopoly. It sounds like you have an interesting take on Salvation in the Mennonite tradition.
