I read the Illearth War first, then had to go back and read LFB. My favorite would still be the Illearth War followed by "the Power that Preserves". "Lord, they-we could not-, the Giants-" Suddenly the habitual flatness of Tull's voice was gone. "Lord!" The word vibrate...

Plan on checking E1 soon, caveats in mind. :) SB: Must disagree on one thing...I thought Encounter At Farpoint was brilliant. (Although, to be fair, haven't re-watched it for many a year... :D ) --A if "Encounter at Farpoint" had been the high point of STTNG I would have quit watching aft...

Now that I've officially seen all the "Star Wars" films (except for Solo), I'll say that only episodes "4-6" wowed me, the rest have been pale imitations of what could have been. OTOH I agree with SB that the last movie was enjoyable taken by itself. Only one outside of the above...

How about Skillet's "Hero"

Seriously? That is concerning.. so in what form or forms does anti Christian movement take? Is it ridicule? The pope mentioned martyrdom.. are many Christians losing their lives as a result of anti Christian action? Quite honestly find it rather odd .. I know that Utah is one of the HIGHEST States ...

Oh I don't know. Sub-atomic physics are now telling me that an object can exist in two different places in the same time, that an affect can precede a cause, etc.


sounds like the FM principal to me.

Cail, I wasn't particularly talking about Catholics there. And at least they're against the Philippines monster. Fair enough. Church is still protecting pedophiles, though. Absolutely, and I've been a very vocal critic of that. That, as well as a few other issues, is why I'm no longer a practicing ...

"Oh crap Vraith dropped the F bomb and told me my source is no good. Guess I should go out and find some things Vraith published so I know my source is accurate." Of course I tried to Google Vraith/Islam and I got nuthin. Heh...that's actually pretty funny. But Spencer still is an asshole...

I dont kmow why I should, you haven't sited a single source except your opinion so far. Um, Matthew White, R. J. Rummel, David Stannard, and David Plaisted, are the ones I've cited by name so far. I could also quote Hannah Arendt and Noam Chomsky while I'm at it. And many others besides. 100k to 1 ...

Loved the Simarillion, even if a bit slow in areas. Actually would like to see Jackson or someone do something with the Dwarf\Orc wars. Such was the tale [of Thror's death at the hands of Azog] that Nar brought back to Thrain; and when he had wept and torn his beard he fell silent. Seven days he sat...

270 million people have been killed by Jihad for Islam. OK, so when you make claims like this, you really ought to cite your sources. I have been studying the statistics of democide for 17 years and no number of that magnitude has been even hinted at in the thousands of sources that I and other res...

If a person is really a Christian, then they do things in the name of Christ. They might not admit to doing so, but they will find a rationalization to that effect. For example, the imperial-colonial mega-killing (Native Americans, slavery, forced labor in Africa, probably the famines in India) wer...

Judging 1,000,000,000+ people sweepingly, is not a very scientifically, psychologically sound thing to do. Whether those 10^9+ people believe in the three-in-one version of the being that the others think of as just one-in-one, or not. Bunk. Christianity doesn't stone people, throw them off buildin...

Suffering RUINS a dozen people/lives for every person it leads down a garden path to "hope." It's as wrong-headed as the delusion that corporal punishment is ever good or necessary for children [or anyone else, for that matter.] suffering for no purpose certainly ruins people. However, wh...

Yes even Mormons believe that love is essential. And the works are their fruits that are performed with love and faith that it is gods will. But you failed to answer my question, if all that is needed is grace through Jesus, why is there a judgement? What purpose does it serve? I left my church bec...
