If I told you I thought my consciousness will be snuffed out, as though it never existed, how would that work out? I'm not afraid to vanish without a trace. As long as I enjoy life. And help out people along the way. At least then I will have left my mark.

Marginal Jew? To take the Bible at face value, Jesus must have been very much a celebrity. To take the NT seriously, Jesus rode into Jerusalem to the cheers of 'A great crowd'. We are also talking about a man who was inundated by eager listeners. Loaves and Fishes? And the time Jesus had to...

Yikes, there's too much anger in this room. I'll try to clarify the atheistic position, at the very least from my own perspective. Regarding twisting of words. This is something I have never actively sought to do myself, but it seems a problem with people versus DV. Reading DV's posts, I...

The thing is, ANYTHING can be put up to God. I know people say genuine miracles have taken place, but oftentimes, thinking about it, too much is put up to miracles too easily. I'm not a bitter cynical person. I find it easier to understand the mathmatical principles behind physics and chemistry...

Hmm History isn't my strong subject. I have to say that the Bible's version of Christ was quite eloquent. Assuming it was accurate, I would say he was a good man. There is no reason why he shouldn't be recognised, assuming he was truly alive at the time. However, I have mentioned elsewhere...

Germs can be seen using instruments and can be investigated. They are affected by physical events and are measurable. God isn't.

I trust you had a reason for saying that?

I'm interested. Could you please give me some of the facts they use as proof? I haven't seen anyone mention any so far. I would like to know what evidence is in favour? EDIT: Was your question aimed at everyone or theists or non-theists?

If I may make an assumption, perhaps DV was talking about morality, not everything and anything. It is true in general terms there are absolutes. "I shot a man", which is untrue, is absolutely false. In terms of morality, however, there are few absolutes. E.g, "I shot a man". What for? Was it...

I know these questions were aimed at DV but I feel I should pitch in. Ah, the proof he does/proof he doesn't conundrum. The beauty of a Omnimax is that it is fundamentally impossible to disprove. Remember we are talking about a being that is: *Omnipotent; can do anything He wants, exists...

I know about people with huge faith in God. I know people (not personally though) who use their faith as a powerful way to do much good. Mother Teresa, Padre Pio and religiously inspired youth workers and aid missionaries... These are religious people I admire. The Christians on this forum I...

Are you suggesting Christianity is best because belief guarantees salvation? What about belief through evil works? If you believe, you are saved no matter what? Did you choose it because it offered the most appealing method of salvation? Moslems and Jews tend to be stricter with their...

If all my questions were answered, then in all probability I would most likely believe in the God of the Bible. However, it seems a great deal of the Christians who argued before now don't do it anymore. It's a shame, cos they tended to create food for thought. Now, very little activity happens...

To me, there would always be that nagging thing that would tell me to ask, ask, ask. If anything I found that didn't fit, I would have to search for an answer for it. If all my questions regarding religion were answered, yes, I probably would believe in the presence of a deity. The question is...

Perhaps I was too strong in my last post. Instead, let me ask one simple question, to any who are interested: What made you choose Christianity?

The thing I'm trying to get at is this: Christians think their handle on the truth is the ONLY truth. They believe wholeheartedly that they are the unconditionally correct and proper religion and belief. The problem? EVERY religion professes the EXACT same thing. Can I point you to all the...

To me it is Silent Hill 1. The part at the beginning had me in spasms. I swear I had nightmares about that. Truth be told, I have only played the first and third games, so any one want to comment on what part was the scariest? Silent Hill 3 had a few good parts, like the dummy in the office...

Zelda? which one? Wind waker, Majora's Mask, Ocarina of time, etc. I have Ocarina of Time and Majora's mask. Preferred Ocarina of time in terms of storyline and characters. Havn't played Knights of The Old Republic myself, but might just give it a whirl since everyone here seems to like it...

Maybe they're running out of ideas. Ever played Gothic 2? I thought it would be a nice change from the run-of-the-mill "Open ended" RPGs. It wasn't. It was, in fact, another run-of-the-mill RPG. About the closest game to being fully open ended is Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magicks Obscura. It...
