It wasn't merely that Eon. There was much to the decision to say, "Screw you guys, I'm going home." Religion, partly. Governmental independence, another, I guess. Though that idea came about only AFTER the whole "Let's revolt" idear got tossed up thanks to taxes on things that needed to be...

Nooo. The government, the country was not founded for any religious purposes. They left because they didn't like being told what to do, and that also heavily included their religious lives. They came here, founded colonies where they called the shots, and also were allowed to worship how they...

Well. Islam sprung up from the mind of one man who received the voice of God on a mountain one fine sunny desert day in 610. Then God said the words that Mohammed had enscribed into the Qu'ran. Supposedly. Then Mohammed decided to go militant and went down to the local shrine of all 360 gods of...

Our country? Nacirema? Founded on Christian principles? Founded on God? Founded on beliefs in da Lord-uh? Uh-uh. Nope. Our country was founded for the express purpose of evading another government, and if a couple of the fathers liked God enough to mention him in their charters, well fine and...

A couple? Why should someone spend their time fictionalizing the end of the world, nay, not even such a minor thing; PREYING on the fears and insecurities of those who love a good ending for the catcalysmic apocalypse for the pure intention of receiving for themselves buku bucks? How remarkably...

So basically if it can grab you, hook, line and sinker, it's a good read? I thought Wuthering Heights was a good read, and it grabbed me, but others would highly disagree. I found it to be boring and backwards and confusing in many parts, but still I figured it to be a good read. Tim LaHaye's...

You haven't talked to a chick in 15 years? How do you live? Umm. What Eon said is there are six loves, and we all can have a mix of them for different people, and sometimes different loves at once. Basically.

So if I kill someone, it's not too bad? I mean, it's like as if I stubbed my toe and let slip the curse of war. Right? Or are some sins more equal than others? Okay, lessee here Corpfox. You repeat phrases. Most chicks I know talk continually like a squawkbox. Think, "And I was like, so...

So what's so bad about a slip of the tongue? So many people seem to make out saying "######" is enough to get you excommunicated or ostracized, whichever setting of services you attend. I don't think so. I curse when my emotions get the best of me, so I tend to go for a stoic approach to life. I...

If I'm request God to damn someone, that's not taking his name is vain. That is making a serious request. I still think it's wrong, but I just want to establish that it's NOT taking his name in vain; it's asking God to do something He won't do, so it is a vain practice: it is not, however...

Joke long dead Atown. I'll just pull out the .30-.30 and put this ol' worn-out joke to rest. A joke with a bum leg ain't no good on the track, and we all here know it. "Krakow." -Spaceman Spiff (also once the capital of Poland, Calvin fans). Anyways...how the flying FREAK did we end up on...

Maybe. If I recall, the 10 Commandments are there to prove we can't do it alone. And if I also recall, do not use the name of the LORD your God in vain means to say it flippantly...but if you seriously meant to use God to damn someone? I think God says something about not cursing but blessing...

Hmm. I like the latter. But now that I think of it again, "in danger of hellfire" is what mi santosbiblia says. "In danger of eternal sin" is an interesting term, though; does that mean literally you have committed an eternal sin? Or are you merely walking the thin line of rejection of God if...

Well then Thaddius what's blaspheming the Spirit? Is it saying "Goddammit"? That's a frequently used curse, but that's using God's power to damn something, and to damn something flippantly; is it the calling on God to destroy, when you're using it vainly that makes it so blasphemous? What does...

Umm. Yeah. I just saw this topic. I'm not a well-liked member primarily due to my cynical attitude in my life, but I don't care. I'd love to go. There may be some difficulties in circumventing parental authority, and if it's in the summer either one of two things will be going down: 1. European...

Scritch to scratch. Romulans ain't first cousins to the Raelians, but if you say Raelians properly it sounds like "We're aliens" which is essentially their belief. Aliens came to us and cloned humans from themselves approximately 625,000,000 years ago. Whee. And I think they came here for gold...

Umm. Yeah. I'd have to agree with Eon here, unless either of two conditions are met: 1. The guy truly believes Zog exists and what he said is true OR 2. He's hiding his Raelian colors...(SNERK)

Hmm. Take Jesus as your saviour, yeah, but never change your actions, and thuse you lose your body to save your spirit. A necessary exchange for God to smite you down to save you from hellfire after you walk about saying, "Yeah, I'm one of God's kids. (Sniff) Hook me up with some more of that...

It would not be constituted as "forcing". It's his prerogative to determine what is best for his child. FOR instance, sex. It is your parental right to say: "Kid, I do not want you to bang anybody, especially not while you're living with me at home for free room and board. If you do, I will...
