Similarly, Covenant is his own creator and his own despiser. He can choose which way to go, and by his actions save or damn the world (just as we can save or damn our own planet). Waiting for angels or god to save us from ourselves is just like hoping that Lore can defeat Lord Foul. It can't. Only ...

:) I thought I'd found a reason to live Just like before when I was a child Only to find that dreams made of sand Would just fall apart and slip through my hands But the spirit of life keeps us strong And the spirit of life is the will to carry on Adversity what have I done to you To cause this recl...

The second hand smoker also has the problem of smelling of tobacco smoke. I have this problem. Both of my parents smoke, and I frequently have teachers at school telling me the dangers of smoking, blah blah blah, you really shouldn't smoke Nathan... and I'm sure you won't be surprised if I tell you...

Of course, if you'd like to start a topic about intolerance here, by all means do so. I'd like to know how many Watchers do feel discriminated against because of their religion, because I assure you, that is not the intention of any of these discussions. --Avatar Okay. I'll do this later. I'd reall...

I do object to the accusation that I'm intolerant of Christians - or anybody else for that matter. For the most part, Christians are easily tolerated - they are kind, loving people on an individual basis. I should probably point out though, that if your definition of tolerance includes leaving your...

Smoking Banned in Prisons in California & Texas
www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8423005/ Throughout the recent history of the United States, smoking has gone from a chik cool act of rebellion to a completely ignorant method of antagonizing your peers at work. Second hand smoke they say is bad for people. I really laugh at this. People spend 20-40 years of t...

Wow- a member here for three whole days and he has us all figured out already. ;) BTW, I think I have the market cornered on Paganism around here, right, Plissken? :lol: Perhaps you do. Yes I've only been here for a whole 3 days and that's it. I'm an outgoing person. I was invited here. You can vie...

Thank you. I believe your sincerity. If I could wave a magic wand and have whatever I wished for regarding this topic, I would ask for mod eration from empathy. If you were a woman, a black person, gay, etc. and there was a derogatory post about something you cared deeply about because it was your l...

Re: How much do you know about the Bible *debate*
I don't think the person who wrote the quiz really knew the Bible. Most of them are OT-specific, too...if they knew the Bible as they should they'd know that under the New Covenant most of the prohibitions about food and the like were done away with. Really. Do you know your Bible well enough to te...

Re: Hypothetical question about the Pro Life stance
If this were indeed true, there would be no point of contention. "Most Christians" believe that life begins at conception--the moment at which the spermatazoa fertilizes the ovum. Therefore, a zygote would be considered a life. Yes, most Christians believe that life begins at conception; ...

Re: Hypothetical question about the Pro Life stance
As I understand it, the basis for the Pro Life argument is that even a zygote is human life, and that ending that level of cell division is murder. We'll skip all of the scientific questions this raises, as I'm more concerned about the ethical and moral questions this raises. So here we go: Say tha...
