    What Movies Have You Seen Recently?

    August Rush A quote from the movie.. "I believe in music the way some people believe in fairytales." I would also add my own short comments. Blending of two music genres into one beautiful song. The thought that I might be meant to be more than I was born into. The universe has a magic which...

    What Movies Have You Seen Recently?

    Thats unlikely. You probably saw the youtube clipping. That was originally a 40 minute speech trimmed down and music added. Anyone can do a pretty good job of making something like that look pretty silly. It was an excellent job (as your reaction to it showed) but dont be fooled into thinking...

    Why Neo-Paganism?

    Actually thats one of the reasons I left christianity for neo-Paganism. Christianity always struck me as "the god of man" while I was more interested in "the god of earth". There seems to be a central core belief that nature is for man and if we force God to choose (again?) that he will choose...

    Scientology

    Actually that "quote" is misdirected. In various sources its supposed to have happened at a convention, or a bar, or a family gathering. If you search on the quote without the scientology aspect then its easily attributed to George Orwell, a science-fiction writer that in 1938 wrote it in A...

    Your screen name

    I usually just use my name, Gandalf Parker. But my screen name is just as bland. Its my Internic whois ID from the earliest days of internet. The whois database included not only domain names but internet people also. For those hackers who can figure out how to query the whois database for...

    Online Gaming

    I like to go back to older MMORPGs (online worlds) when they have died down abit. Especially when the servers have been replaced by hundreds of player-run free servers. Ultima Online is a good example. I really enjoy the player run servers. New maps, new quests, much less crowded. you can find...

    Where did the 5,000 thread go?

    Was that one of those threads to drive up the post count? Most forums have rules against those.

    Other Christianities

    No he is right. They would have existed prior to the books of the bible being finalized. There were likely to have been sects which considered him to have been a prophet, or even a leader, but not necessarily THE son of God. Im guessing those might be grouped in with the gnostic sects as far as...

    did Mohammed marry a girl of 6 and consummate the marriage when she was 9?

    Its also interesting that its usually Christians using this as a verbal weapon. Experts have scrutinized the marriage of Mary and Joseph coming to many of the same conclusions. Usually its mentioned in discussions where someone is slamming the christian faith asking how why a virgin wife would...

    Spore!

    Yeah thats pretty much it. But I recommend it to people who spend alot of time vegging in front of a computer tweaking things for games anyway. Like SIMs addicts who have already spent lots of money buying 12 or more variations of the SIMs game. The money making thing usually depends on what...

    Spore!

    Second Life is my idea of the future of online social worlds. You can do more than you can in SIMs (well basically you can do anything) and its gotten really interesting there. It has a higher learning curve than something like SIMs or World of Warcraft but the effort isnt wasted since you can...

    Toribash Game

    Pretty cool. Nice little time-killer. Thanks. If you ever run across someone that should consider distribution (somewhere past independent but not up to major known company shelf-ware) let me know. Especially in a war-game of any type.

    What is your view of "sin"

    You are going to seek a universal set of sins? That will lead down an argumentative road. Such as "kill" which some will jump on to include wars, and others to include all life, eating meat, etc. I have seen some fairly fanatical people on those subjects even in these forums.

    Does physics leave room for the spiritual?

    Quantum Theory gets more fun than that. They have decided that there are 10 dimensions plus 1. The 10 dimensions "stack" and we only know less than half of them. And the added one is for Chaos where none of the rules in the other 10 hold true. Also lately they have decided that the Big Bang is...

    Spore!

    Let us know. This is definitely my kindof game. I have developed an above average understanding and interest in mutations because my son is one (he is unique and part of the genome database). I would totally enjoy playing this game.
