Another way of looking at it is that we are beings from another plane of existence incarnated into mere biological beings. Both theories could be true. The biological beings developed from evolution. The foreign beings from another plane fits the creationist theory. The foreign beings mated...

Ok, here's the thing ..... You got me thinking. It's not that I will never do that (never say never). In ten years time I could be doing something "bad" like taking drugs, committing murder, wife-beating, abusing little kids ..... or the dreaded thing you have mentioned like ........writing...

I think humans are just too smart for that. If I say, "Paladin! Go and walk over to that corner in the wall." Paladin fulfills his purpose when he has walked over to the corner in the wall. It is pretty easy to walk over to that corner. In order for Paladin not to fall apart, disintegrate and...

I didn't know I was living in/part of Snoopy during all this time.

I do not think this concept is absent from Christianity. Actually the Logos concept probably came from Philo Judaeus, who suggested that the prophets and sages were emanations of God. I think of the Logos as a phenomenon emanating from the words of God in scripture, influencing everyone who...

Random suffering to me has got little to do with God IMO unless we make it important. Because our existence here is temporary, it doesn't actually matter in the long term. Our suffering has more to do with our experience of this world. I, like everyone else am condemned to live in the prison of...

A lot of things aren't black and white. For example, 2 plus 2 does not always equal 4. Sometimes it equals 5. That's what the Party says. That is also what postmodernism is about. It is about questioning the prejudices and arrogant beliefs of modernism.

I'm not Catholic, so I wouldn't have any idea what it's like to live under "Canon Law." Having said that, I am glad my country's laws were not made for any particular religion. I thought maybe a couple could simply opt out of getting married, but then I realised ........ ....... it's...

ok, fair enough. It's just Jews imposing something on other Jews.:eek: I was curious. Is there a difference between Orthodoxy inside Israel and Orthodoxy outside Israel? Does the environment in Israel "breed" a "hawkish" attitude? Are people in Israel more hostile because it's "the holy...

I forgot about those guys. I was only talking about the original Enterprise (NX class) that had Jonathan Archer as captain (the ST:ENT series), not the later ones. I assumed william_b was talking about that one. They acted like real people in that one. I have only seen the Voyager and...

going down chimneys inhaling soot, breathing carbon monoxide fumes and not dying looking clean and healthy after going down the chimney not being burnt by the fire

A pastor should get a part-time job so he can support himself. Actually everyone in the church should have a part-time job so they can support the church. The real problem is the pastor's lifestyle. How much does the pastor spend each year? How big is his lifestyle? $100,000? $10,000? $1,000...

As an "outside observer" (non-Jew) looking into Judaism, these "movements" seem more like parts of an ideological spectrum (left-wing and right-wing) -- some liberal, some more traditional. They don't function like Christian denominations because it seems to be more about how the Jewish...

The five planeteers had special powers and when they were combined, they became Captain Planet. So what do we get when we all combine our special powers? Captain Forum? Who are the villains who pollute the forums? enlightenment fanatics?
