Yeah gods, this is such an old thread! Things have changed a lot in the past 20 years, but it was nice seeing images of old members long gone again, even if the attachments aren't working properly.

Just wondered if anyone here listens to audiobooks? I'm especially curious to know if American listeners prefer to hear a narrator with a US accent rather than say a British one?

When I saw him come in and raise a whole string of Trinity threads I wondered whether I'd need to act, but then read your post encouraging them to try and keep it to one thread so I thought I'd see how it went. So far it seems to have petered out except for one or two threads as excepted. As...

Well, from a purely historical standpoint, these arguments don't seem to work - they comes across as simplistic generalizations that are hard to justify once you start getting into the actual history of the period. While it's a popular modern idea that religion exists to control the masses...

You may or may not find A. Victor Garaffa's The Pauline Conspiracy, available on this site, of interest: https://www.interfaith.org/articles-2/pauline-conspiracy/

I think it's a given in discussions that individuals are speaking for themselves. :)

Just a heads-up that this is the Baha'i board, so it is intended to be a place where people can have respectful discussions about issues relating to the Baha'i faith. That of course includes asking difficult questions, but if all someone wants to do is combat another faith with their own (or...

Just a heads up that I've now reduced that time to 20 minutes - so check for those typos before posting! :)

Okay, finally watched this film. Though I've enjoyed some of Queen's singles I wouldn't really describe myself as a fan and didn't really know anything about the band's history. The film started slow and felt a bit flat, but it slowly but surely built up momentum so that by the end of the film...

Reminds me somewhat of Krishnamurti's teachings - we have a short feature on him at the front of site: https://www.interfaith.org/alternative/krishnamurti/ “Man cannot come to [truth] through any organisation, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, nor through any philosophical...

I've watched some George Carlin - seems like Bill Hicks was quite inspired by him. :) This guy is something else, though - his one-liners and self-referencing are great. :)

Thought I'd start a thread about comedy on YouTube - just watched this guy and thought he was quite brilliant. :)

We have a few existing threads on this already - hopefully one or more of those might help answer some of your questions: https://www.interfaith.org/community/threads/11962/ https://www.interfaith.org/community/threads/7685/ https://www.interfaith.org/community/threads/3020/

Just a reminder of our original principles. :)

When I original set up this community, I included a politics board because I hoped to invite considered and civilized discussion about wider politics issues, which often and inevitably have a religious aspect to them. I don't know if I ever succeeded in that aim in my original term here. It's...

I guess the topic has gone way past evolution now. :D

Reminds me of the Noosphere. :)

Why? If I dip a cup into the sea and hold it up, is the seawater in the cup qualitatively different to the sea it came from?

Perhaps rather than arguing about a misunderstanding, someone might like to raise a specific point to ask about so it might get a clearer answer than if multiple points are being discussed at the same time? :)

Well, no problems over the past week, so it looks as though it was just an issue with the database server needing to reboot. I also cleared out a lot of unused files (such as unused original account files) from the account so the daily backups should put less strain on the server. Hopefully will...
