I never thought of that. Real people? Yes, real people get hurt and are at risk of dying. Human vulnerability is what makes them real.
In Voyager, if a virus attacks you or someone is struck by an energy weapon, there's a good chance the Doctor will fix you. Stuck in the Delta Quadrant...
My special powers are relentless ranting.
Other people get tired of ranting. I don't.
I could fill the whole forum with rants. I simply choose not to do it.

Western culture itself is a kind of "enlightenment." We think our culture and society is better and superior to ancient cultures and societies. We think Western culture is superior to Islam. We think Western culture...
You're assuming these "books" ever existed on earth.
I don't think God ever sent down any books. He spoke to the prophets and it was then their responsibility to write things down.

I've had my disagreements and arguments with NiceCupOfTea, but today I think it is with you!!!!:D Islam doesn't put me off as...
Amergin is just a human being. The Christianity forum is not going to disappear regardless of how much Amergin criticises Christianity. The important thing is that you and I are still here. As long as we are alive. Amergin can say whatever he likes. Amergin does what Amergin does best and if it...
