Old Timers ROLL CALL!

Optimus: Good to know you are doing so well. As an ally in such "discussions" (some called them "flame wars") from the old timer days, I must say, "Keep the Faith!"

Old Timers ROLL CALL!

LED: Being an old timer isn't all bad. Consider the following tough old geezer: Tough Old Timer Somehow I don't think 1st person shooter games prove much in light of such a real life situation.

Old Timers ROLL CALL!

Did we ever argue? I think we calmly discussed with perfect clarity and humility and logic all of the great questions of the world with attitudes of perfect respect and gentility ;) I am sure UG and rahvin agree completely with me. They always did. :laugh:

How come in Christianity....

Hi azazyel: About "Q," I find it sad that so much emphasis is put on a document that we don't have rather than on the ones we do have, including non-canonical documents like the Gospel of Thomas, Hermas, Didache, etc. We don't really know (even by historical evidences) whether there ever was a...

How come in Christianity....

azazyel: Regarding the Gospel of Thomas, I do not think it will be included in the canonical books as a general rule. Not that it should not be considered. In fact, there is at least one branch of the Orthodox Church that already accepts the Gospel of Thomas. One should not view the question...

How come in Christianity....

Hello xEDIT409: Regarding this quote: I am sorry the minister responded to you the way he did. But his view does not accurately represent historical Christianity, so please do not make his statement a fundamental part of your assessment of the Christian religion. The historical standard...

The Politics of Hate: an Interesting Opinion

Hi chess9: You are right; all the article represents is Samuelson's opinion. I, for one, have not been as impressed by Samuelson as I have been by someone like David Broder. Still, though I agree with you that "hate" is dangerous hyperbole in journalism, it raises a good point about the level...

The Politics of Hate: an Interesting Opinion

I read an interesting article by Robert Samuelson in the Washington Post. Let's see what the AT P&N crowd thinks about it: What Does the Hatred of Bush Mean? I would particularly note these final paragraphs in the article: Have fun!

Coming to Christ has done much good for myself and family.

I agree with this quote and with Zenmervolts' post, but I think the divorce of religion from morality (though it obviously occurs) reveals a split within us. In the end, I think foundational truth can only be foundational if it is a "unifying connecting principle." But history leaves little...

Coming to Christ has done much good for myself and family.

Eli Quote: We think like that because we are (1) westerners, (2) linear, and (3) mathematical. Nothing wrong with any of those things, but there are other perspectives with insight that are (1) non-western, (2) a line can never enter into another dimension of thought or reality than the ones...

Coming to Christ has done much good for myself and family.

Maybe "worship" is just another name for "declare your center." Maybe that which is the Center (if He exists) would actually want rational beings to center on that which is the Center. Maybe He would want it so badly because centering on the Center actually is a good thing for those who do it...

Political Issues & Party Polarization . . .

Wow- I just read that article and was thinking it would be a good piece of info for AT. So I head to "Politics and News" and here it is! I find the article interesting because AT is so polarized. I think especially this quote is relevant: Maybe AT is so polarized because we are intellectual...

Gray Davis an Office Beater!!

chess9: Apparently there is some substance to the charges that Gray Davis abuses his staff. Consider this statement from William Bradley, a California-based, Democratic political analyst. The statement occurred in an online interview with the Washington Post on October 6, 2003: The whole...
