RH>  Sarcasm here is more like "Fucking moron".
RM> 
RM> Naw, that's just plain old personal invective.  Sarcasm takes at least
RM> a  little bit of wit.

Probably why it's somewhat scarce here, then...

RM> It wasn't evidence that supports the hypothesis that the universe is

RM> understandable, only that things fall with the same acceleration. 

But if we do not observe consistent behavior in such things as falling
objects, the universe would not be understandable. Thus repeatable
observations of all sorts support the hypothesis.

RH> We assume that patterns exist, we look and find patterns, everyone
RH> finds the same patterns, and you think that's not evidence?

RM> And we can all see the turtle in that cloud over there, right?  I

Now that you point it out. But that is not the sort of pattern I'm 
talking about. 

RM> mean,  our minds are capable of seeing patterns in random data, and
RM> agreeing on  the pattern that we see there.  Doesn't mean that the
RM> pattern is real. 
RM> Ever hear of backward masking?

As in "you see what you're looking for"?

RM> It is still not properly understood.  But the existence of that 
RM> observation never caused ANYONE to abandon the assumption that the 
RM> universe is basically understandable.

Bad example. turbulent flow is commonly observed and horrendously
complicated, but not the sort of thing I was talking about. I meant
something like the acceleration of a falling body changing each time
we measured it.

RM> Oh?  You think that we understand most of the physical universe?  Even
RM> a  large percentage of it?  I think most scientists would say we've
RM> just  scratched the surface.  And even then, all of the "evidence" you
RM> refer to -
RM> our scientific understanding of the universe - is BASED on this 
RM> assumption, and therefore can't really be considered as evidence in
RM> favour 
RM> of the assumption.  Especially since we choose not to investigate the

RM> very phenomena that might show the assumption is false - the ones
RM> (like  turbulence) that appear beyond our curent ability to understand.

I would take a more liberal approach and say that the basic laws
that function at our level are well understood and apply to the entire 
universe (excepting black holes, singularities, etc).

RM> You clearly accept the hypothesis that the universe is understandable
RM> as  true (ie. believe in it in the common meaning of the term
RM> "believe").   Whether that belief is based on evidence or faith is what
RM> we are  discussing.  So far, it looks more like unevidenced belief to
RM> me, but you  may still have some arguments that might change my mind.

I begin to doubt it. Want to play the "brain in a bottle" game next?

RM> I like to make a distinction between three types of belief: scientific
RM> (for lack of a better word) belief, faith and superstition.  All 
RM> three involve accepting something as true (ie. belief), the difference
RM> lies 
RM> in the basis of that acceptance.  Scientific belief is based on 
RM> confirming evidence, faith is unevidenced belief, and superstition 
RM> is belief that persists in spite of contrary evidence. 

The last two are redundant IMHO.

RM> I think that acceptance of the truth of the statement that things fall
RM> at  the same acceleration is scientific belief.  Acceptance that there
RM> is a  Creator is faith.  Acceptance that the Creator made the entire
RM> universe in 
RM> 6 days in 4004 BC is superstition.

Ditto.

RM> It appears to me that you lump what I call faith and superstition 
RM> together and call that "belief".  This could be a cause of 
RM> misunderstanding with people who use the term "belief" in a more
RM> standard  way.  What term do you apply to what I'd call scientific
RM> belief - the  acceptance of something as true based on the available

RM> evidence? 
RM> The belief that the universe is understandable is clearly not
RM> superstition 
RM> (ie. there is no evidence against it).  But I've yet to see any direct
RM> evidence in favour of it - in fact, I can't think of what such
RM> evidence  might look like, so, provisionally, I'd have to put it in
the
RM> "faith"  category.

Word games. You are just juggling definitions to prove your case.

How talented of you. Most people simply ask a question. It takes
a special kind of person to "address" a question. Al has some really

Indeed. A sarcastic comment on his stupid remark about Socrates being

Part of one troop split off, and took a territory close by the

and so repeatedly raided the splinter troop until they were all
dead.

Besides, it might behoove a woman also to "test drive" the man as it

>>> Part 1 of 2...

Making a good die roll, Fredric Rice cast Public Service Ads at Sue Armstrong
.. and all hell broke loose.

JS> Was talking with a female modemer in her late 40s about the behaviors
JS> of many of the local teenagers, who are most of the callers to the
JS> local BBSes. She mentioned that many teenagers today, in her opinion,
JS> didn't know how to say "no" to sex.

FR> "...today..." ?!  It was only a couple of hundred years ago that
FR> children routinely gave birth during their teens and the average
FR> lifetime of a woman was 35.  Infant mortality was (and still is
FR> somewhat) quite high in the United States.  I don't have anything in
FR> the archives which gives values for Europeans yet the pioneer
FR> foundings of the United States, at least, indicate that to live to the
FR> age of 50 was uncommon. 

Right; it's only relatively recently that kids didn't get married by
age 16.

FR> _Not_ engageing in sexual behavior during the teen years was a late
FR> comer to social dysfunctionality.  Fundies like to pretend that the
FR> number of unwed mothers has increased since 1965 -- the year the
FR> Constitution was upheld and occultism was officially thrown out of the
FR> public schools; also the year that free milk was discontinued.  The
FR> fact is that there has been no change in the number of unwed mothers
FR> BY PERCENTAGE OF POPULATION. 

It's just that, in the 50s and before, unwed mothers were sent away
where they didn't have to be seen or heard from.  Or the young unwed
mother was forced into a shotgun marriage by Daddy as soon as he
found out. 

FR> Somewhere in this mountain of text files there is a report that
FR> bounced through HolySmoke or Church&State covering this.  It seems
FR> that the census was different in various ways and that the number of
FR> unwed mothers being reported or known to welfare services was lower
in
FR> decades past -- but the percentage of children fucking each other and
FR> giving birth has remained the same. 

And before welfare came into existence, they were still either sent
away to state homes, nunneries, or other warehouses.

sa> Yeah, right.  If she keeps falling "in love", then pretty soon, her
sa> hormones are gonna get the better of her and she's going to fall
sa> "really truly in love" and bingo, bango, bongo.  If she hasn't
sa> already, and just isn't admitting to it.

FR> Denial of sex urges is bizarre.  My guess is that only humans have
FR> created behavior which seeks to negate the reproduction urge.  (Or
FR> pretend to.) 

Well, no, not really.  Lower-ranking lupines in a pack don't
generally "get it", either, unless they leave the pack (and
non-alpha couples mating and producing offspring usually find their
cubs destroyed by the alpha female) .. and other social species also
limit reproduction to elder females.  It would seem that marriage
is, in effect, a ritualisation (that humans can understand) of this
phenomenon .. if every pack, troop, or group member bred at every
heat, there'd soon be too many for the population to support them
all.  Pacific Islanders overtly used marriage as a way of defining
who had a right to have children, as a form of population control;
children of unwed mothers were killed.  Islands are simply too small
to allow for unrestrained breeding of large mammals like humans.
IOW, it's originally a form of birth CONTROL.

It would rather seem that, especially in the Judaeo-Christian view,
this concept has been turned on its head.  Marriage was encouraged
for all, and resulting high breeding rates were also encouraged; and
people were married off as young as possible.  The move from the
extended family to the nuclear family is likely a big cause of the
skyrocketing of the population over human history.  Of course, the
unwed were still discouraged from having children, but the reason
for this seems to have been forgotten, and put in wrongful
moralistic terms. 

Of course, nowadays, it shouldn't really matter - the availability
of artificial birth control technology negates, more or less, the
restriction against the unwed having intercourse.  However, fundies
don't see the bigger picture, and refuse to give teens not only
the information on available birth control techniques, but also
don't want to give kids the weapons of logic and mature thinking in
order to help them decide for themselves what to do with
themselves.  All they want to do is send them on guilt trips, which
never works.

JS> Doesn't all that "Jesus" stuff at least have the value of allowing
JS> those who wish to abstain to have a ready excuse and ideology for
JS> abstenance?  IOW, isn't fundamentalist Christianity at least useful
JS> for that?

sa> No.

FR> And why would anyone who doesn't wish to fuck need an excuse not to?

FR> Can't he just smack her and say, "Look, Suzy, get your mouth off of
FR> that!?"  (Sorry, as you can see I'm having fun with this.) 
FR> }:-} 

:) Hehehe.  Really; why should someone need an excuse if they don't
want to?  If you don't want to, you don't want to.  Of course, it
doesn't help when you have peer pressure trying to say you're a nerd
if you don't get it every night (but then again, the people who say
that probably don't really get it at all, either).

sa> And we can never forget Christian Miller
sa> with his "Married, Will Cheat" conference ..

FR>   Hey, I forgot about that.

:)

sa> denizens certainly don't go just to look at each other.  There were
sa> a couple of big fights out on the main street this summer, over who
sa> got to lay what woman - from the description in the paper, anyway.

FR> Typical primate behavior.  Alpha males aren't willing to take turns.

FR> It's why they want to have virgins and why some women/gurls learn to
FR> say, "Gee, Billy, I've never done this before.  Please be gentle." 

Hehehehehe. :)

sa> And it's likely not limited to teenagers, either.  I suspect many
sa> 20-somethings (and 30-somethings, for that matter) act the same way.
sa> I just have the habit of assuming that anyone who behaves this way
sa> electronically has got to be about 15 or 16.

FR> Check out Holland in the summertime.  Age has no limits when it comes
FR> to trying to win the sexual favors of a female.  It seems that perhaps
FR> here in the United States people over 40 fear looking the damn fool.



Oh, yeah, a lot of these goombahs probably are realtively old.  In
fact, when I was hawking my 'toons at the market a couple of weeks
ago, this old man who HAD to have been 90 wandered up and asked me
what it was about.  I told him, and then he asked "Is there any sex
in it?" I replied, "No, sir, I try to keep it PG.  I don't have much
use for the dirty stuff, and besides, it's been done to death." He
WALKED AWAY, apparently no longer interested in a purchase.  
I'm political, but I don't need to show big boobs on furry critters,
sorry.  It took all my effort to keep from laughing until I got
home.  Though I'm not sure if I was laughing at the idea of such an
old man looking for manga, or at myself for assuming telling him
there's no sex in it would be a positive selling point just because
he was, well, older than Methuselah.

Of course, then there was the 16 year old who showed up on
#holysmoke last night and started bragging about his "big rhino
dick" ...

I think he has become so accustomed to believing his own bullshit
that when he completely distorts the truth, it "feels like" reality
to him.

BTW, this topic arose on IRC recently.


Here's an amusing selection from my #holysmoke log file:

 I just thought it funny you saying Curtis would no longer
post to me...when in that same packet, he DID.
 When did I say he wouldn't post to you? I said -- correctly --
that he was disgusted and alienated by you.
 Curry: are you confused, Curry? You accused me of being
proud of alienating him...well, if he is so alientated, he
wasn't alienated enough not to post to me.
 Al, you are fixated on something I never said. I never
mentioned him "not posting to you"
 yea...alienated people NEVER interact, curry....because
if they DID it would be war, and we don't war with aliens!


Lynda is determined to kill me (and any innocent bystanders) with
induced fits of laughter, I sometimes think. Then again, she can
become quite serious, as well. See the following two posts for one
example, a longer selection.

--Edited to improve clarity (for unabridged log, email curry@gte.net)--

 But Curry, you are boring. keep this to fidonet, would
you? We are boring Catty and Jason.

 no he's NOT!
 I'm not bored.
 keep going!
 More! More! More!
 fight! fight!!
 Al, you're scared.
 Jump, al! jump!
JHarmon puts that Star Trek fight music on.

 I'm shaking in my boots. LOL!!!

 Your bullshit is quivering a bit, I see.... yes. A description
more apt does not come to mind. Horseshit, maybe? Jesus shit?

 er, no, al....you ARE a bullshitter.

 Your cowardice at refusing to look at simple books is
showing, Curry.

 Books? Did Curtis write a book all of a sudden? Why the change
in subject, Al?

 Catty: you are entitled to your opinion.
 Why not?
 Yes, i am
 Curry...he wrote a book, but it was in email so it's
private.

 Why can't you stick to the subject of Curtis, Al?
 heh-heh.
 Why don't you quote where I said he was NOT disgusted...
specifically.

 Al, all I have is one question for you:
 I bet.

 Do you admit that he was both disgusted and alienated by you?

 He may have been. So what?

 This is what I asked, essentially, in the post that you
decided was "funny" because he "replied to you in the
same packet."

 He's a big boy. He can post, or not post to me, as he
pleases...
 Actually, he has stated as much explicitly.
Was it your goal to alienate him?

 Uh uh uh. You said ONE question.
 One at a time.

 It suits you to think he thought you were just dandy
until you decided to turn your nose up at him over age
without finding out how old he was?

 Catty: that's why he said he blew his top. I'm taking
the man at his word. Shouldn't I?

 Al..last straws. I know you know what they are about,
dear. act this dense, and people will start to think you're
a fundy!

 Al, Curtis said that was the LAST STRAW. Does that imply
to you that it was the only thing you did to alienate him?
Or was it rather the LAST thing?

AlleyTom [~al.schroe@199.78.224.185] has quit IRC (Ping timeout
for AlleyTom[199.78.224.185])

 ROFL!
 LOL!
 Ha!
 I am JUSt about betting he won't be logging back on
right now...
 He's no fun, he fell right over.

AlleyTom [~al.schroe@slip20.nashville.com] has joined #holysmoke

 catty: Oh well.

 There are times when I hate my server...
 Had enough time to think, Al?
 Curry: about what? I got knocked off my server.

 Al...I apologize. figured you'd not be coming back.
 Al, Curtis said that was the LAST STRAW. Does that imply to you
that it was the only thing you did to alienate him?  Or was it
rather the LAST thing?
 Curry: WHY should I care?

 Why should you lie about it?

 If Curtis doesn't like posting to me, that's his
business.

 Why should you pretend that he "threw a fit" over
something little?

 Curry: and where did I lie about it? Again.
Specifically.

 Specifically, Al, when you asserted he was disgusted and
alienated by you for one little thing about age.

 Curry: because that's exactly why he said he was no
longer posting to me. He mentioned it again this packet.
If he has other issues, that's fine, that's okay, but don't
pretend it's because of the age thing.

 And he said that it was the last straw. What does that
normally mean, Al? That it was a sudden event?

 Al: *You're* saying it's because of the age thing.
Saying he "blew his top."

 Or something that took time?
 Was it your goal to alienate Curtis?

 al...even the AGE thing isn't about his age...it was
about your assumption that you knew better about something
because of YOUR age....assumed he was younger, and assumed
that meant something. You tried to dismiss his statements
based on age and it was the DISMISSAL that was the final straw
in a long list of arrogant assumptions of superiourity on
your part.

 Curry: no. I enjoyed talking to him. But if he doesn't
want to, I have plenty of other people to respond to.

...

 Indeed: and I don't expect people to shut off a dialogue
over something like that...without asking. I apologized to
Curtis. If he can't take it...that's his problem. nont mine.

 he needed to ask, to be entitled to stop posting to
you?! He is entitled to his opinion, but he is NOT
entitled to withhold it without asking first! ok, got it!

 Catty: he might have asked if I meant it condescendingly.
He assumed.
 As are you.
 And Curry.
 And me?

 Al -- you have a reputation of being condescending.
A well-deserved one.

 Curry: opinions are easy to foster...and spread.
 Al, you sure spread it.
 Real thick.
 Curry: real praise from the master.

 Al..it was CONDESCENDING. He doesn't need to ask YOU if
its ok to feel condescended to by your OWN REMARKS. ASS!
I suppose I should have asked Joe if he REALLY was being
abusive or if I was just imagining things.

 catty: HOLD IT!!!!
 ARE YOU EQUATING THAT REMARK TO JOE'S ABUSE OF YOU????

 :) did I get your attention now, al?

 Talk about overblown, cruel things to say.
 Talk about HURTING someone!!!

Curry pulls the HURT PUPPYDOG MODE whistle.
 Toot!

 Talk about callous, undeserved remarks!!

 Can we have some crocodile tears to go with that, please?

 Al..would you like to take a wild guess how often i was
told "i'm only kidding' after a very hurtful remark? How
often I was told that I was overreacting to being pushed or
called names.. Yes, I'm comparing the two. You keeps saying
that its not YOUR job to mind how you come off to others.

 Go on and say what you want, Curry. This is between Catty
and me.

 Then BEAR IN MIND how you are coming off now.

 It's in public so long as you're here, Al B.

 It IS. If you don't MEAN it, you need to change the way
you communicate, not blow people off when you're told REPEATEDLY
how it feel to them.

 Catty: stop trying to change me. Stop saying you value
what I would really say...and then say you want to change
what I say.
 Al...you don't have to change your style. You've been
told how it looks on the receiving end. if that's fine with
you, live with the reactions you get.
 I will. Quite comfortably.
 And so must you.

...

 And? Why should I care what Curtis chooses to do...as an
adult?
 Al -- no one suggests you should care. We wouldn't want you
to go against your demonstrated nature.
 Thank'ee kindly.
 Al, you never learn from the lessons. Seek remedial assistance,
please.
...

 That's okay, Catty. I'll be leaving in a minute or two.
No need to kick me...
 :) wouldn't DREAM of it, al..
 Sure you wouldn't.
 I would.
 Dream of it, that is .... I'd never *do* it.
Hepcat has kicked AlleyTom from #holysmoke (Hepcat)
 OK, I'd do it once. :)
Curry blinks.
 Skaal! He is truly a Rice brother!
JJHitt feels as though watching a re-run.
 Aw, he left. He didn't have to do that. I was just kidding.
 LOL!
 He was probably relieved.
 Now I feel bad.
 But you did him a favor.
 ROTFL!!!!!!
 Hep: I think you may have pissed him off.
 <--- turning purple...
 Apparently.
JHarmon hands catty a paper bag.
Hepcat Heimlichs Catty.
 <----choking....
 *cough* *gasp* *wheeze* that was good, michael...hehehehe
 :-)
 I *do* kind of feel bad ... I didn't mean for him to leave.

 (G) His choice, michael.

 catty:...as an ADULT. :->

 As Al says, you are NOT responsible for how people react
to you. if he thinks it was an insult, that is HIS problem. :)
 Lovely how that works.

 Now, now, catty. Those are the rules for OTHER people.
You don't expect consistency, do you?

 Oh, YEA.....darn it, and I'm NEVER on his short list...

 catty: Tell me about it. I had to PROMPT him to tell me
that I had a right to have an opinion! And he didn't say
I was assuming anything once! Sheesh!

 ah, but who is? He so delights in thinking its him and god
against the world.

 him and god and paul davies

No need to fret over your barnyard animals, Mimi -- unless perhaps
you believe that they also exhibit the "naked cruelty" which you
so hysterically attributed to Ronald, in which case a visit to your
local sanitarium for rest and relaxation may be in order.

What next, I wonder?

"Sharply dressed cruelty?" "Topless cruelty?" "All wrapped up from
head to toe due to freezing temperatures cruelty?"

Quirky accusations from the Wicked Witch of South Africa can be fun!

You are full of shit, Laurie, and also a well-known liar.

Little wonder, then, that you should stoop again to another lie
when you have absolutely nothing to support your pathetic religious
delusions.

A mixture of mythology, metaphor, and make believe is a very poor
substitute for clear, rational thinking.

What a pitiful existence it must be that drives you to such nonsense.

I can deal with messy. Some definitely positive possibilities there.

alleged 'better educated'. (Al was responding to Fred's post, ya know)

Rob and Al were killing time yakking about ALTERNATIVE OR STRAW:

RB> Doesn't that describe Christianity to a T, Al?  "The salvation
RB> of all mankind depended on the raping of a little girl."  If
RB> not for God's 'encounter' with Mary; no Jesus, no salvation.

RB> "Our father who art in heaven, thank you Lord for raping Mary."

AS> Hmmm. That she gave a HYMN OF PRAISE to God afterwards for?
AS> There was no violence. Nor is there ANY indication that such was
AS> displeasing to her, EVEN THOUGH it almost caused her fiance to
AS> quietly divorce her. She didn't even have the slightest idea she was
AS> pregnant. She had "never known a man"--i.e., never experienced sex.
AS> Must be a whole new definition of "rape".

She wasn't asked permission first. I believe that was what you called
"mindrape"?

This is very interesting....you say its a GOOD thing that those raped express
outrage over the violation, because it would be 'mindrape' if they couldn't
even internally protest the act...and then you point to Mary's (apparent,
all
it shows is that any protest went unrecorded) lack of protest as a sign
that
it wasn't rape at all.

Its not the reaction that makes it rape, Al. Its the forcing of one person's
will on another without permission.

Judith and Mimi were killing time yakking about HOLIDAY BOOKS:


MM> The others are, however, funny indeed (if you like to spend
MM> longish time and money on waiting on people's peculiar images).

Someone piss in your oatmeal, Mimi?

MM> I really wish WWW pages gave something useful, without forcing
MM> surfers to waste money on waiting for idiotic pictures of no

Forcing? you were FORCED?! Geeze, those African access providers are TOUGH!

The WWW doesn't GIVE you anything, except the ability to express yourself
through your own page if you so desire - and if you do, there will be those
who find whatever it is irrelevent.  If you don't think you're getting fair
value for your money, QUIT PAYING YOUR ACCESS PROVIDER. None of us with
pages
are reaping any benefit by your being online or not. You didn't waste your
money on US. Simple, no?

MM> practical relevance. USA users may be having no problems, but
MM> the rest of us (paying for every second of long-distance phone
MM> time) see it once, and never again.

No one is FORCING you to look once.

MM> I acutally expected some better from you. Your page is,
MM> however, no better or worse than what my 14-year old nephew
MM> has set up in Israel (to show the world how much he loves
MM> his dog).

Mimi....a personal page is a hobby. Not something obligated to provide anything
of interest to YOU. If you want to see what someone you know has done, go
for
it (and you did). If not, the world won't end and no one will shed a tear
if
Miss Mimi fails to find anything RELEVANT.


By ALL means, don't voluntarily spend your money to see someone's hobby
page
and then bitch about the money spent doing so.

That's about as gauche as complaining to your hostess that you "wasted"
your
money on new shoes to attend her dinner party and found out they were serving
something you didn't like.

Jaw dropping....

And how do we KNOW there is a god who loves us? The bible says so.
And how do we KNOW the bible is true? Because it's God's word.
Circularity; the Bible; think about it.

Gwenny and Ronald were killing time yakking about Sola Scriptura:

RV> will never be able to totally understand, relateing to how a female

RV> past, to me anyhow, sounds much like Joyce's past. It's one she has
RV> only passed hints on, it's not an item i push, it would hurt her too
RV> much.

This isn't to suggest "pushing"....but sometimes those hints are the
equivalent of sticking your big toe in first to test the water. If they
are
rejected/misunderstood/blown off....then nothing else need be said, nothing
*really* big or important needs to be made vulnerable to rejection.  Enough
hints that are left laying out without being picked up (and we're warped...
saying "You don't have to talk about this" sounds like "*I* don't want to
hear
this") and a person starts to think that you'd never be able to handle the
core of it.  And yes, we DO need to talk about it to the people closest
to us,
even if we don't much WANT to. We need to know that that black interiour
isn't
too ugly to still be loved.

Hello, Gwenny, or Tiger Eyes or Starfire or Sean or....

JJH>  I've always been an open book to those who can read between

JJH>  treated like the idiots they are.

TE> Then why make an issue of it?

That's the point. JJ never does make an issue of it. JJ merely refrains
from
confirming anyone's assumptions about it when THEY make an issue of it.

Neither does JJ go to any great lengths to KEEP people from knowing, either.

*JJ* wasn't the one chortling over there being an indicator here - one of
you
were (and I'm too confused by all the switching and apparent randomness
of
authors in the header and sig lines to figure out which, or even to try
to
guess whether it matters...).  That *chortling* was making an issue of it.

Ronald and Mimi were killing time yakking about ?   S O U L  ?:

RV> So which store do you get silly items like this ?

MM>  Now little Ronnie, you must try to get
MM> the gist of 'figurative speak'. The shops don't REALLY sell
MM> 'common human decency'.

Of course they do...ask any salesperson what management says they are REALLY
selling....service. Make the customer feel good-ism.

Of course, stores have a reason for that....make them FEEL all happy and
warm and fuzzy, and they pull out their wallets and buy all that merchandise
too.

Holysmoke isn't "selling" anything, and there is no inherent reason to make
anyone feel good. Just preferences, and take your lumps for it if someone
objects.

Ron wasn't on target with his comment to Michael, so it qualifies as a misfire,
but not as a comment that was not allowable or beyond the standards of
Holysmoke as a whole.  It appears it misfired into you...have you been
considering that Michael's reassessment of his faith is due to his wife's
health, and therefore should tactfully be avoided?

Health, rape....you seem to have a list of things Not To Be Discussed By
Polite Society. Well, Mimi, get a clue -- Holysmoke isn't Polite Society.
Ron understands that. So does Michael.  And you're not such a newcomer that
you shouldn't.

BS> And this "child" as you say now must go through life knowing
BS> its mother didn't want him or her.

DH> Any adopted child goes through this, genius.

MB> Absolutely false. Many adopted children were wanted very, very
MB> much, but the unwed mother knew she was incapable of giving the
MB> child what all children need: opportunity (which requires a
MB> certain income level), and two parents in a stable home
MB> environment.

Quite so, but very few adoptive children have access to the details surrounding
their adoption, other than what is told to them by their adoptive parents.
(and since they don't want to HURT you, they sure aren't going to say "Your
mother was an alcoholic who was more concerned with her bottle than with
her
child.")

And at some point they go through an emotional consideration that someone
out there didn't want them enough to FIX those problems.  The thinking part
of them might understand that, might understand that the problems were too
big to simply "fix" and that they'd have been in a bad situation had they
been raised in that environment.  The emotional side simply feels unwanted.

The child above that BS> mentioned may well have a life of being wanted...but
there will be a gut level where it also knows that - if only for a brief
time -
they weren't.

I was told by my mother once (she was arguing with my father, and like an
idiot
made ME her involuntary confidante) that my father's first reaction to learning
of her pregnancy with me (I am the oldest child) was anxiety and a litany
of
reasons why it wasn't a "good idea" to have a child then.  He moved past
that
and was a good father to me. As a parent and an adult, I understand his
concerns completely, and have felt them myself regarding my own children.
I
never felt unwanted by any of his responses to me.  But there is an emotional,
childlike place inside that "knows" he had to consciously MAKE himself want
me,
and that his first instinct was to wish me into nonexistance.  It was something
I very much wish she'd refrained from telling me.  I suspect it has colored
my choices regarding my relationships with others more than I am aware of
or
would care to admit.

An adoptive child has no choice but to be made aware that its biological
parents had that reaction to them.

[2]:

MB> By that I mean that we were originally populated with adventurers
MB> who had little to lose by coming here and experiencing the probable
MB> hardships they might find.  Being outcasts in a European country
MB> has bred in us from the beginning a much different mindset than
MB> Europeans have.

AS> Very true. I wonder if anything can be done to study the cultural
AS> differences to promote the MINDSET of those european cultures. Such
AS> laws might not even be needed, if we can promote a cultural mindset
AS> where guns are not wanted.

The solution is to survive fairly intact for a few more thousand years so
that
we forget our roots and our radical notions of individuality, and bury
ourselves under lots of visible reminders that what we do today has little
meaning to our culture in the long run.

The difference between Europe and us or Australia is that they are OLD.
And they have evidence of their antiquity surrounding them in the form of
buildings, cemetaries, etc.

A couple miles from me is a church that dates from the 1600s. It's considered
old, a symbol of the stability of culture in this area.

In Germany, I lived within view of two castles. One was ruins, but still
enough
there to roam around in....it dated from about 450 A.D.   The other, from
about
1500, was called by the locals what translates into New Castle.

The house where I lived there had pockmarks in the wall from shooting during
WWII. When I expressed a bit of awe over that, I was met with a shrug....they
have all around them the evidence of conflicts dating back over a thousand
years...it means nothing in the long term.

Zweibrucken has one restaurant that sits almost 4 feet below the rest of
the
town...it was all that was left standing during the war. *shrug* Level it
off
and rebuild over the rubble. The town is not the buildings, and it isn't
permanently affected by such things. It is OLD. Rebuild and continue, nothing
done, no matter how devastating can irrevocably break that link to the past.
Life goes on.

We are BABIES. We haven't survived as a country long enough to even know
if we
are viable yet.  And we won't develop Europe's confidence in our own underlying
stability until we've been here long enough to rack up some evidence for
it.

That would be suggesting that Michael's reassessment was due to the

GWENNY and DAVID were killing time yakking about No, really.:

DR> I cannot imagine who you would be "listening" to. There
DR> were no women at Dragonfest who "made a pass" at me.

ahem.

DR> Yes, I know Soltahr. During one ritual she was waiting for
DR> me to kiss her, and I had utterly no idea what she was
DR> waiting for. Later when I found out I should have
DR> apologized to her and told her I've never kissed anyone
DR> before and I was paralized with shyness. :-)

HMMMMM........


>DR> Alas, I don't recall the particular incident you have
>DR> in mind-- you would have to remind me. It seems highly
>DR> unlikely. NO WOMAN AT DRAGONFEST HAS EVER "MADE A PASS"
>DR> AT ME.

GTP> Bullshit, David Rice. Even Wild remembers the incident.

DR> It never happened. If some women "made a pass" at me, I
DR> would have noticed.

Would you, now?

RH> It's logical. She would not be happy knowing I was burning. She

RH> But, knowing me, she knows I'm burning. So, she cannot remember me.

And she's content with this? That the only way for her to be happy in the
prescence of God is to be brainwiped?

JJ recently mentioned having officiated at a marriage in a restaurant...perhaps
this is what is meant by the above?

Its waaaay too late to try to confine any christian theology to just that

AS> I would argue otherwise.

I'm sure you would, Al. Your arguing it doesn't negate the fact that the
word
"war" IS commonly used in the English language, in fiction or otherwise,
to
indicate hostilities that fall outside of interspecies exclusivity. Were
that
not so, people wouldn't UNDERSTAND phrases like "war on poverty" or titles
like "War of the Worlds" and they'd keel over laughing at the absurdity
of
Klingons and humans engaging in anything as absurd an idea of "war"...which,
according to you is ONLY applied to interspecies conflict.

You *may* justifiably (I disagree, but at least you could make a case) argue
that the word AS COMMONLY USED is being misapplied...but you can't argue,
in
the face of numerous examples that it is NOT being commonly used to mean
all
manner of things that fall outside of your chosen parameters.

AS> You would REALLY have to stretch it to fit
AS> interspecies conflict as "war". It is you who are going against the
AS> common usage.

No, I'm not, Al. Just the network TV line up for a week will provide you
with
numerous examples of highly rated shows that indicate a common understanding
that interspecies conflict is a recognisable idea.

Your own bookshelves, I'm just about guaranteeing, will provide you with
numerous more examples. Were the idea of war between interspecies not common,
the plots of all of these would be incomprehensible.

AS> Do lions "war" on antelope?

Offering examples that don't fit the category doesn't delete the numerous
examples that do.

LB> For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,
LB> for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely
LB> powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying

LB> Now, Al....is that, as many here will surely see it, a declaration of
LB> war against them, as heathens, pagans, fellow people? Or is it talking
LB> about warring with one's thoughts?

AS> Thought against thought? Certainly.

It doesn't say our thoughts do not war....it says WE. And it is not our
THOUGHTS that are in danger of hell for losing that war, but US. :)

Standard christian theology says there are human souls that are NEVER housed
in a physical body?

Actually, Martin is espousing Judaic theology, if I recall the idea correctly,
that there is a limited number of souls available, and that God sends them
into their physical bodies at birth (God, breathing the soul into the body
at birth).

Yes, patched together with the christian idea of hell, it gets carried to
his conclusion....but since christianity lays claims to Jewish roots, it
is
certainly not out there to take a look at it, without resorting to
reincarnation.

Came across this, thought this was a good place to insert it:

"Despite a great many prayers to You we are continually losing our wars.
Tomorrow we shall again be fighting a battle that is truly great. With
all our might we need Your help and that is why I must tell You something:
This battle tomorrow is going to be a serious affair. There will be no place
for children. Therefore I must ask You not to send Your Son to help us.
Come Yourself."

Afrikaners in 1876.

That was a very strong feature of 'proper prayer' according my ex's beliefs.
And I included it without fail, too. That is one of the primary reasons
why,
when I asked for help and none came, I felt it was God's will that I be
going
through what I did.  It made it very difficult to decide to leave, and
impossible to leave without feeling I was going against His will by doing
so.

A forked tongued hypocrite who rants and rails against the 'sexual sins'

daughter is "a man of god"????????????????

Some god you got there!

Translation - they can't help but SCREW once in a while, in spite of

What does he 'pilot' in your world....Stukas and Messerschmidts?

doesn't the dogma make him not only the pilot, but the builder of the
airport, CEO of the airline, and builder of the holiday destinations -
both of them - harp music heaven, or the carnal barbeque?

It seems the ride has been rather bumpy, in spite of the best efforts of
your three-headed 'pilot'.

Well. 'Patriot', we KNOW your typically christian homo-hatred.
You well as well come all the way out of your closet, and give us your

How _IS_ life on the CSIS payroll these days, anyway?

Oh, in case you're wondering, I'm a Jewish black homosexual.
I am a little overweight, but I'm working on that, and, otherwise am
considered attractive, and you skinhead guys REALLY turn my crank!

Yup. They're all equally entertaining. Don't they have an annual

Did you get this out of the RQB or are you getting tired?

Is this how you sound when you use your own brain? It doesn't differ
much from the picture of you I had constructed.

I was a fan of the early ROAD WARRIOR flick, but I have long
since concluded that NOTHING on that conintnent would have 
permitted you to live. You have nothing to offer in return
to living human beings at all, do you? Nothing usesable?

Hi, Laurie. Just wanted to say hello and let you know that
my children and I are still reading your posts. My 10-year-old
wants to know if you have read anything more recent than when
he was born. Would you oblidge him by letting me know?

BTW, did you see my post in EVOLUTION to Karen Davis congratulating
her on her victory? Guess you're about finished there now, eh? Tough
luck. Hell of a fight you put up, but she sure debunked all your
arguments fair and square. Guess that shows what happens when
creationists attempt debate in the 90's huh? And why those writers
you fellate (er, cite) are smart enough to stay away from online
debates. Oh, well. 

Here's a tip for potential income for you: C.A.T. corporation,
makers of superior 300baud acoustic coupled modems, remembered
fondly by many of us, are looking for folks to help promote the
benefits of 300baud modems. I immediately thought of you! I'll
bet you could sell a potfull.

Take care,
Dave

DC>> What's next?  Pre-conception baptisms for every egg the woman

And for 'doubles', her forehead.

I dunno how many times i stood bagging (breathing for) a dead
victim while we waited for the priest to arrive and administer
last rites.

Once I made the observation that the guy was probably long
gone to the redwood cedar saunas about now, but what happened
if he got last rites and survived? The priest, clearly under
unfamiliar pressure, answered that while he wasn't really sure,
he thought the victim might get extra points.

My best interpretation is that 'last rites' is sort of a letter
of introduction. I've since taken to preforming the ritual on
myself whenever I'm feeling particularly inadaquate in any given
day. I figure there ought to be a sizeable file of last-rites
resume's on me by now. Maybe I'll be able to get a job (since I'm
in a one-on-one marriage) evaluating the celibate behaviour of
the priests who have made carreers out of offering critical 
advice to married couples.

Do you suppose there's anyone from heaven contributing
to HolySomke? No? Aw, Gee, looks pretty grim then...

hi Mouth!

MB> Vital to Everyone.  Untruth, no matter how righteously held, is
MB> always a mistake.

So you _ do _ know the word `mistake'!  

Ah but Mouth, I don't full heartedly agree with you, but its something
I just don't want to discuss at the present, at least not with you.

MB> No, I'm that interested in finding out the Truth.  

You think you're going to find the truth? I can assure you you will not
ever find it, or if you do, you won't recognize it.

MB> the heat of truth against your most dearly held misbeliefs?

Can I stand the truth? Depends on whether or not I'm seeking it, and how
it's presented. Christians think they know the truth and rub it .... excuse
me, let me rephrase that....SOME christians think they know the truth and
rub our noses in it under the guise of saying that that is what
god wants them to do in order to save our souls from an everlasting hell.

Others have another way of sharing their kind of truth, or belief, a rather
unpoignant mouth such as your own, to each of those kind of people
I attach nicknames to, yours is Mouth. Generally I don't do that unless
the other person sinks to low levels as you have, and speaks in a put down
or shaming way...then I treat them the way they treat me.

Off hand, I don't think I have ANY dearly held beliefs or misbeliefs.

Your reading comprehension skills need improvement Mouth.

Further, I could care less what you like or dislike.

Mouth had this to say:

MB> I use the same language men use.  I'm not one to believe in
MB> double standards.  The fact that you do speaks volumes about
MB> you, male chauvinist pig.

Why, are you a man in disguise? A wannabe man?
Double standards? Man is man and woman is woman. Whats double standard
about that? Lady like behaviors too fake for ya?
Heck, light up a stogie, put some snuff under your lip! Be a real man! 

Calling me a male chauvinist pig now, eh? Typical behaviorisms showing
yet again! Tsk tsk! Your responses can be pretty much calculated, just
as mine are. And so you know exactly what that means, it means there will
be no further responses to any msgs from you.  (yeah, you are welcome)

BTW, you should win an award, you're the first woman, errr, make that
the first female that has ever said that to or about me. You could say it
to my face, and sure as heck you'd think I'd become physical, wrong, I
aint ever hit a woman, never have, never will.
MB> You would lose your bet, poor thing.  Go apply for food stamps 

I doubt it. 

MB> Go apply for food stamps after

This and the comment about worshipping the dead...wow, you never cease
slamming around like a bull in a china shop do ya? 

See ya around Mouth.

MB> truly free society,

MB> I didn't say "totally free," now, did I.  I said "free."  And,

You said what you said, TRULY free... NOT as I said "totally free".

Now pray tell, what's the difference between truly and totally ?

Be careful in the future, since you want to play these sort of head
games, others may play the same, and correct you from stem to stern in
your own postings.

"truly free society" is both what you said, as well as what you quoted
yourself as saying. Not as you stated "free" .

Too boot, you slammed and banged away, without (as is your custom)
addressing the question.

We have folks such as yourself, and the likes of Nate Cookson...which is
worse? hahahaha

Oh shipyards, I said I wasn't going to respond to you anymore....sigh.
You can assist in that by not posting to me....if you continue to post
to me, as is your privilige, you'll be met in like ways, if you respond
civil like, I too will respond civil like.  (thats as close an aplogy as
you get from me)

I've added those entries to the .txt file, too.  I'm going to repost on

tried it all in one post.

MM>BTW, you still seem to have a dupe problem - same

I've been told.  Will seems to be having a problem at the BBS, as I've
received a couple of duplicate packets and I seem to be the only one
getting everyone duped.    Time to pat him on the head and see if
he can get it straightened out.

FR>Right.  Which fuck was it...  Masten?  Or was it Ken Weins?  The clown

"explain

oneself
FR>from the responsibilities of one's actions.
FR>And sprinkled among my Clergy Abuse archives I remember seeing comments
by
FR>Christanic clergy about how priests who had raped girls repeatedly were
FR>"tempted" by "cotetish behavior."

I don't remember, although it was Ken who advocated the execution of a
child who aborted the results of rape.

Christianity in particular is a wonderful tool for passing the blame for
a crime onto the victim--and when that doesn't work, for claiming that
they are 'forgiven' by their god and therefore no one else should have
the temerity to not 'forgive' them.

How dare anyone suggest that they should have had self control when they
were given an opportunity to 'sin', much less hold them responsible for
the results of their self indulgence?

FR>kw> I pity the PK types.

FR>I don't.  I want them all to die out of existance or get educated out
of
FR>existance.  The world has seen enough hatred against women justified
as "for
FR>their own good" or (the evil Promiskeeper's brand of evil) as "being
of
FR>service to women."

I pity them because I don't think that they have the balls to grow up
and become men.  I pity them because they've been crippled from
childhood by the religion stuffed down their innocent throats.

FR>kw> That doesn't mean that I'm willing to turn my back
FR>kw> on them, or trust them.  I pity rabid dogs, too.

FR>Well we all know how to properly handle mad dogs.

DM>    Recently, here at the Journal of Rehabilitation Research
DM>and Development, we received this letter from Olympia.
DM>I withhold the name, phone number, and address out of
DM>consideration for the writer, who, if the letter is genuine,
DM>is in serious need of help. I direct this to you by way of
DM>warning that the lunacy appears to be creeping around the
DM>Sound from Puyallup and may be heading up the Olympic
DM>Peninsula: Brace yourself!

DM>    To whom it may concern:

DM>    This letter is in regards to the invasion of my privacy.
DM>    I would appreciate any direct information leading to the
DM>    explanation of this. Periodically, for eight years there
DM>    have been famous and non-famous strangers watching me in
DM>    the privacy of my own dwelling place. I am greatly
DM>    incapacitated and maimed by this intrusion. As I am
DM>    typing this letter I am being watched by complete
DM>    strangers.

DM>    People such as Bill and Melinda Gates, Paul Allen,
DM>    Steven Spielberg, Kate Capshaw, Harry Anderson, Richard
DM>    Starky, Rod Stewart, Rachel Hunter, Tom Petty, George
DM>    Lucas, Jack Nicholson, Natalie Merchant, Amy Grant, Troy
DM>    Aikman, Sheryl Crow, Ivanna Trump, Patrick Swayze and
DM>    wife, Bob Dylan, Eddie Money, Woody Harrelson, some
DM>    members of the rock groups the Rolling Stones, Led
DM>    Zepplin, B.T.O. and Pink Floyd to name very few of the
DM>    people who have watched me in the privacy of my own
DM>    dwelling place off and on for several years have added
DM>    to this harrassment and hate crime.

DM>    Despite my pleas to ask them to leave me alone, these
DM>    people keep finding new people to watch me. Sometimes,
DM>    some of these and other people gratify themselves or
DM>    each other sexually while invading my privacy in all
DM>    arenas in life in which I choose to partake. This along
DM>    with the sometimes present drug use by these and other
DM>    people who invade my privacy only begins to define the
DM>    level of hate that is and has been dealing with me
DM>    periodically for eight years.

DM>    Before these famous people held charity dinners on
DM>    behalf of the cause that they fabrcated around my life
DM>    and exploited me in every way imaginable, I had a happy,
DM>    typical, conservative, affluent, respectable,
DM>    middle-class life. I had no reputation as did none of my
DM>    natural piers. I have no idea how any famous person even
DM>    knows that I exist. I have never sought to have the
DM>    first thing to do with any famous person, or anyone who
DM>    has anything to do with them or anyone they ever knew.

DM>    I have patiently, and conservatively been waiting for
DM>    eight years for this to end and there is no end in
DM>    sight. The talk that surrounds such treatment of myself
DM>    by these famous and nonfamous strangers makes it
DM>    impossible for me to find the job that I need. If you
DM>    can shed any light on this please call or write. I look
DM>    forward to hearing from you.

DM>    If anyone here knows why Spielberg, Gates, et al are
DM>peeping in this lady's windows, please advise and I shall
DM>forward the information to her.

I want to know why no one's informed "A Current Affair" or such about
the orgy going on in her front yard.  I would think that such footage
would be worth a good bit.

DC>That, in itself, is not that bad.  Where the problem lies is

That they do-every year their is screaming that the test is too hard.
If they spent the time teaching the children that they spend trying to
find ways to reslant the test they wouldn't need the thing.  They've
reached the point that the only thing they do on the high school level is
drills on test. State money is pegged on how well each school does on the
test. There is constant pressure to improve the percentage of students
passing the test--with the result that the kids are graduating knowing
nothing but how to take the TASS.

GTP>KW> I'm not a jewelry type person, either, but you can usually find
a
GTP>KW> moonstone or two someplace on me day to day .  Perhaps it's because
GTP>KW> we don't tend to go for the little tinkly pink ice sort of stuff?
Or
GTP>KW> because what we where tends to be interesting, handmade pieces rather
GTP>KW> than the stamped out Zale's junk?

GTP>Either or both.  Most of my jewlry was custom made by a friend. And
I have
GTP>this great beading kit to make Egytian jewlry.

Mine is from a variety of sources--some I've designed myself, and had
made up by friends.

GTP>GTP>> So, do you prefer silver like most of the rest of us?    Could
we
GTP>GTP>> locate potential pagan women by their distain for gold?  

GTP>KW> But of course!  The only piece of gold that I wear is white gold--a
GTP>KW> plain but rather substantial handfasting ring.  I do have some other
GTP>KW> things in gold, but I never bother with them.  Anyway, gold doesn't
tone

GTP>Silver isn't supposed to go with mine, but then I'm supposed to look
bad in
GTP>black also.  I wear both and get lots of compliments.

I look great in black .  The only colors that I avoid are the
brown/yellow/orange tones--I just couldn't cut it as a new age guru in
'off white' pajamas.

GTP>KW> As for locating potentially pagan women, I don't think so.  From
my
GTP>KW> personal observation it seems to work the other way around--the
more
GTP>KW> pagan she becomes, the less gold she wears.

GTP>That's what I meant.  Another clue is patchouli oil. 

Not for this one--I'm allergic to patchouli.

GTP>KW> Because both families decided that they wanted to be there, we did
have
GTP>KW> a ceremony--if only a civil one.  I had wanted to do it in a nice,
GTP>KW> pastel type suit, but the only thing that I could find was white
GTP>KW> brocade lace embellished tea length dress.   Everyone who
knew
GTP>KW> me well found it sidesplittingly funny that I ended up getting 'married'
GTP>KW> in a white dress.

GTP>  I can imagine.  I was married in blue the first time, and
Wild and
GTP>I both wore traditional Scots attire for our handfasting.  If we ever
get
GTP>around to making our marriage real (we were only handfasted for a year
and a
GTP>day over four years ago), I want High Renaissance.  An artist friend
designed
GTP>an absolutely awesome Italian Renaissance (square neck so low it shows
the
GTP>pentacle right above the nipple) gown.  And I know where there is a
gorgeous
GTP>teal and ivory brocade that would really flatter my skin color.  Assuming
we
GTP>ever get around to it.

If nothing else, it sounds worth doing to get your hands on that brocade
.  My handfasting was skyclad, although I was wearing enough flowers
in my hair to stock a florist shop .

GTP>KW> We're seeing more and more semi public handfastings down here,
skipping GTP>KW> the whole wedding/courthouse thing.  I officiated at one
last summer GTP>KW> held in the municipal rose garden that was just
beautiful.

GTP>You are an ordained minister, too, then??  We are supposed to be doing
a
GTP>skyclad one soon.  I better call her and see what's happening with that.

Yes, I did the trip down to the courthouse thing .  One of the other
Priestess' here in town went down to register, and was given the wrong
piece of paper work--she almost got herself declared a church building.

GTP>GTP>KW>> Again, why do you assume that as a pagan and a witch, that
I'm
GTP>GTP>KW>> doing something illegal, or doing anything that would place
me in
GTP>GTP>KW>> more danger of that meat grinder than any xtain?

GTP>GTP>> Because your ARE pagan. . .it stands to reason you are evil.

GTP>KW> But of course--we aren't doing it 'right'.

GTP>Of course not, no one is getting a jail sentence.

Well, maybe we aren't doing it right by their rules, but we do seem to
be doing it right by ours.

Cut off your arm.  Pray for God to grow you a new one.  If

You know, this miraculous pregnancy may have it's roots
in the truth.  On rare occasions, women have been known
to conceive without the usual coital activity.  The
transmission of sperm to vagina can be accomplished by
other means.  As religious folks are prone to do (both
now and then), a rare (but natural) occurrence may have
been interpreted as supernatural.  That's the standard
explanation for anything not easily understood.

Or a host of other things may have happened (or the whole
thing may not have happened at all).  Every religion needs
a foundation of tall tales.

The accuracy of the bible concerning historical persons

claims.  Few would dispute that the bible has at least some
value as an historical text.  Kings and preachers and city
walls do not a miracle make.

Let's say I write a book detailing how God appeared in my 
living room.  Two millennia later, archeologists discover
the foundation of my house.  Do my basement walls somehow
lend credence to my tale about God?

Perhaps because we live in a world (certainly, a country)
dominated by the superstition afflicted.  Perhaps because
our minority status makes it uncomfortable (if not unwise)
to speak our mind in less hospitable environs.  Perhaps
because we're aware of history and religion's track record
of oppressing any opposition.  Perhaps because we're offended
by religion's portrayal of atheists as amoral communists who
enjoy kicking dogs and small children.  Perhaps it's payback
time. :)

At issue in Washington State is a dig being opposed by a
group of local Amerinds as disturbing "their ancestors". The
site is about 6,000 years old, and therefore the ancestral
connection is general, at best. It is fairly certain (on the
order of 99.9999...) that the bones were never incorporated
into that particular tribe, yet rather than asking for some
evidence that these were tribal ancestors indeed, we shall
apparently accept an assertion of "sacred" from ignorance,
and leave the site unexamined. Are the wishes of the
ignorant concerning something that very likely does not
belong to them, either, (and never has and never will be)
deserving of such respect? I would think their claims to be
worth rather less than those of the anthropologists on their
face: waving the magic word "sacred" is an exercise in claim
inflation.

One does not need the additional expense of paranoia to

this or any society. History is sufficient.

I go along with much nonsense in "polite" society.
However, I cannot _respect_ beliefs such as the one cited
above regarding the 6,000-year-old "ancestors" grounded on
determined ignorance (determined ignorance being "we don't
know, we don't _have_ to know, and we ain't going to look
into it"). I may have to put up with them, just as I have to
put up with a society overladen with fundies. Here, in
impolite society, I can at least ridicule them.

At the speaker's psychiatric record? Certainly.

PD> Are you an anti-theist or an atheist?

Inasmuch as an "anti-theistic" position of necessity
depends upon the existence of some god to be against, and
since all reported gods I have heard of are claimed to
a) be more powerful than mortals, and
b) dislike intensely being opposed by mortals,
that category of belief manages, against overwhelming odds,
to be even more stupid than your question containing it.

Exactly, no argument from me. I am pro choice too. That's a label I am
comfortable with, for myself, or for others to place upon my head.

I see red when I see folks being pro-life who are ALSO the sort of pro-lifers
who are the "get in your face" types. I can't tell you how much
that, and the in your face sort of christian, ticks me off.

Life is nothing but choice.  (am I a in your face pro-choicer...thats

LB> Why does it cloud the issue?

"and I as well" is meant to be read that I think the same way as you

"and I am against abortion .... for myself"  For me, one is either
pro-choice, pro-life..... ok, I do live in a black and white world
sometimes....so sue me! (g)  

Kind of like this, I believe in God, and I believe what the christians
expouse concerning Jesus and God....blah blah blah   however, I do not
wish to be called a christian, as for me, my hangup, I do not wish to
have that label.  But I couldn't swear that all what the christians
expouse is true, or what I believe is true, I certainly DO NOT KNOW.
I can only believe....well, I can have hope too.

Nuff of this....
Thanks for the non jumping down my throat reply to my note.

It is indeed. But should the rapist be held responsible if it was
all part of God's "great plan"? If that was the case, we should probably
neither thank or vilify the rapist. Just curse the god who made the
rapist's actions necessary.

JH> What would be the right reasons for betraying Jesus?

AS> Well, suppose Judas was merely a Hebrew patriot who thought Jesus'

Was it necessary for Jesus to be betrayed by someone?

AS> "These things must come, but woe unto him by whom they come..."

What would have happened had Jesus lived to be an old man and died

JH> You didn't capitalize the H, heretic.

AS> Uh oh. Does that rate boiling in oil or burning at the stake? 

I think I'll stick you in the combination Rush Limbaugh/Macarena
room.

AS> Jesus didn't show up at the High Priest's house and go, "Here

You know what I mean, Al. Jesus was not sent here to die of natural
causes. Where would your mythologies be if the sins of the world were
washed away by a guy dying in his sleep?

I don't know about the dress code at that school, but the one in
mine does have a "catch-all" section at the end. After listing
the usual stuff about halter tops, spandex, shown undergarments,
etc., there is this section:

"Judgement of questionable dress will be made on a case by case
basis.  Any clothing deemed by the administration as unacceptable
or disruptive to the educational process may be prohibited."

Methinks something like that was used.  Though I still don't
understand how wearing black lipstick is disruptive.

EM> It's the idiots that scare me.

Last year in English while analyzing a few King Arthur stories, we
were giving an assignment to make some kind of poem thing (it wasn't
a poem, but I guess she couldn't come up with a better word to describe
it.) Anyway, it ended up as some Haiku mutation. We would start off
with the name of the character, then each other line would have a
certain characteristic. Strong qualities, what they wanted in life,
etc.. One of them was "What do they fear?"

Anyway, after we did it for a couple of characters we were told to do
one for ourselves. I was doing all right (after I remembered my name)
until I reached the bit about what I feared. I was stumped. So I
turned to a friend sitting next to me and asked him what he thought I
feared. He reminded me of some comments I hade made concerning the
election a few days ago. After thinking for a while, I finally figured
out what I feared.

Idiots with power.

I wonder how the teacher took that.

Heh. Some Christian was once calling me on my fascination with

GM>       Some time ago I saw a bumper sticker with these
GM>     unusual words:
GM>         кФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФП
GM>         Г COMMIT RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS  Г

GM>         РФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФй
GM>     It sounds a bit reckless to engage in "random" and "senseless"
GM>     acts.  But as I mentally dismantled that strange combination of
GM>     words, I realized that its various parts are surprisingly
GM>     compatible with the apostle Paul's admonition in Galatians 6:10.

In the parking lot of the Greek Village Spa I saw a
bumpersticker which read:

ЩЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЛ
К WARNING: SODOMY CAN К
К BE HABIT-FORMING!   К
ШЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭЭМ

I thought to myself: Why would anyone want to stink up his
Johnson when there's a hole that's made for this sort of thing?
I then searched the Bible on CD for occurrences of "sodomy" and
found not a one! No where, as far I could tell, is it given any
mention whatsoever. Well, it may be distasteful as hell, but
it's apparently NOT proscribed by the Bible. So, good Christians,
if you really want to do it, I guess it's OK with God.

But I'm sticking with the front orifice, if it's all the same
to you guys.

I'll download it, but I don't even know what a "tosser" is. Ppoint
appears to only have two external programs that run with it; the
terminal and the text editor. Is the Binkley terminal thing what
does the tossing?

I haven't asked my sysop any of these things because I don't like
to lean too much on any one person, and he's already been so kind
as to let me schlep mail off his system.   :)

Your wife is a kind lady but I don't think you'll get far. My
experiences along this line suggest that those mavens won't want to
know until she begins acting out in the bank.

Thirty years ago it was 53 boys to 50 girls (or, as the numbers were

change?

You need to talk to ME about that one.  I was Quentin's source.
Of course, he did paint it himself.

And if you've seen Mike's .gif on my page...with the horns...I have the
whole goat head (almost life size) that goes with those horns and ears.

Choice of interfering or not in other people's choices. Abortion, like
tobacco and alcohol, is legal. No clouding or confusion. I can think
anything is wrong...for MYSELF...and still not wish to interfere with
anyone else's choice for themself.

It's Dutch. Deboer is geographically challenged...or trolling. If the

January.

RH> a tad .

Nah, I really think he just needs to dump his Netscape memory cache.

RH> 1) The graphics take forEVER to load.

You should have seen it when I had them in .jpg format.  (.gifs load
faster)

RH> 2) The pictures look lousy in 16 color VGA

Well, I can't take credit for that. Or maybe I can....the pictures ARE
GOO'd, you know. Which means that colors may not be exactly what you are
expecting. I did a lot of experimenting with hue and saturation effects.

RH> I know, I know.....follow my own advice.

Or start loading the page, go get a sandwich and a beer...and by the
time you find your rose-colored glasses everything will be loaded and look
fine.

That isn't the whole point. Weins, in one of his anti-abortion rants,
managed to say that 'all are BORN [emphasis mine] in sin and worthy of
death'. Innocent until you're born, dog chow after.

One of the reasons the fundies make no sense at all on this point.

Identical twins, playing the games that twins do...PRETENDING TO BE EACH

Yep deceiving people who traveled with them for a year. Let's see, what
was that quote? Oh yes, 'who the hell are you?'

And wouldn't anyone be willing to overlook a few aberrations in behavior?
After all, being dead isn't quite like going for a two week cruise
around the Greek islands. Bound to make a few personality changes, a few
memories lost here and there, a bit of confusion about what really
happened. I mean 'gee, I was dead and in hell, you expect me to remember
what I had for supper last Friday?'

The biggest thing is, these people who...you claim...knew Jesus SO well
had to ask who he was. Even up close and personal. Which is real strange
since people who never knew Elvis have recognized him so often since HIS
death.

Hey, boy,  when you say that. Insult one harpy, insult us all.

Don't sleep too soundly. Remember that harpies are nocturnal. We
deliver chocolate pies while the rest of the world slumbers.

Try PUPPY MILLS. After the raid in Washington state, that's even more
disgusting. (250 dogs SURVIVED, 77 pups between the ages of 3 and 6 weeks
with no way of telling which mother belonged to which pups, ears on
so-called fighting breeds not just cropped but cut off...with scissors.)

Didn't you know? Al considers himself the 'wise old man' of the echo.
Since he is so much older and wiser than everyone else, it justifies
his meddling in everyone else's life.

And you can't have been married 41 years. You don't have Al's permission.

Same hurricane I deflected from Charleston with the Grateful Dead.

I kept playing 'Bertha (don't you come around here)' for 12 straight hours.
Worked just as well as Robertson's prayer. Maybe even better because we
didn't even get as much on the tail end as he did.

money, and overthrew the tables;


What do you think a scourge is? It's a whip. Made of several cords knotted
at the ends, leather strips knotted at the ends or either cord or leather
strips embedded with metal hooks on the ends.

Now, are you accusing the BIBLE of lying?

No shit here. My sister (the NURSE) totally agrees with you. Which is why
she continues to take courses and get certifications to get out of the
robotic end of the profession, where your livelihood depends on being able
to say 'yes, doctor' with a smile on your face while wanting to scream
'asshole'.

Graphics-oriented object, yes...but the name of the program is GOO. 
(Kai's Power GOO in full) It works best on bitmaps but those can be

a lot of fun.

So, have you changed THAT much in 5 years? Doesn't matter anyway, especially
when I get finished with it.

On a serious note, yes there is a good reason for photographs...especially
taken with your kids. My mother died when I was 18. There is not ONE
picture of her with me or my sisters. It would be especially nice to have
at least one now that we all have kids of our own. (And grandkids in my
case)

Well, the page...at the moment...is defunct. It WILL be back, with more
of
a bite but it will take me a bit longer to do it as I have the shop open
now and not as much time as I had over the holiday hiatus. Evidently I
didn't make the martyr quotient high enough.

That's the only test anxiety dream I ever had. And I've had about 4 dreams

in my life that have stayed with me...that being one. Really strange that
it has stayed with me so long. I wasn't even 16 when I had it.

CJ> And this instance was a particularly clear example of that.

Maybe I ought to do 2 GOO's of Al. Keep the blowfish...and also GOO his
face into the center of a broken record.

CJ> BTW, did you know that Beckett persistently claimed that

I didn't read that until long after I had read 'Godot' (on my own without
some instructor to interpret it for me). And I was a bit surprised that
anyone would see it AS standing for god.

It's been quite a while and I don't remember the characters names, but
I do remember thinking that what they were really waiting for was their
own inner resources of courage and independence to surface.

Guess that's another one that needs to be on my reread list. I just
wonder if my librarian will have an easier time with that one than she
did with Sophocles.

Then why even look? Whining to me because you have to pay ld rates for
something YOU choose to look at doesn't really make sense now does it?
If you want relevance, use your search engines and find whatever you
REALLY want.

I think your real bitch is that I hit the 10 ring with my shot at your

Oh yes, thank you, Mimi. Since THIS page seems to annoy you so much, I've
dismantled it. Check in again in about a week. I'll know when you have
because the news on CNN will contain the report of an Afrikanner woman who's
head spontaneously exploded.

Well, the accounts in the bible show ONE example of each. Gee, that
coincides with the numbers you'll find in a faith healing revival. (Of
shills in the 'congregation')

Come to think of it, when Jesus was ASKED to heal someone, he flatly
refused because the person was the WRONG RELIGION. I wonder why that was?

How do you figure that, Brian? As an avidly pro-CHOICE person, I see
not having an abortion is as valid a choice as having one. I don't have
to walk in their shoes to say 'your decision to carry a full term
pregnancy is YOUR decision and none of mine...best of luck to you'. 

Their decision to SEE it as murder is not a problem for me either, as
long as they see that murder is a legal term and abortion does not
qualify under the law.

It is when the anti-choicers decide that I must live by what they believe
in that the problems start. I am not deciding for them. If *I* decided to
have an abortion, it doesn't affect them or their families in any way.
None. Why should they be allowed to choose what affects me and my family?

(I call them anti-choicers because, in order to truly be pro-LIFE they 
would have to oppose all killing. Including the death penalty and war.
We know how often that happens.)

If those who oppose a woman's right to choose were doing anything to
offer other, viable, options then we might have common cause. Where are
the pickets at the clinics with signs that say 'let ME adopt your
unwanted child'? Or 'I have a job for you, with benefits, that will make
this abortion unnecessary'?

And where are the pro-LIFE people when we are trying to teach the kids
how NOT to get pregnant and maybe need an abortion in the first place?
Picketing, on the grounds that such instruction is 'immoral'.

Where are the pro-LIFE people when a girl is pregnant by incest? Pointing
the finger at HER and her 'evil' ways.

Pro-LIFE? Oxymoron. Heavy on the moron.


... It takes two to tango, but only the woman pays the price.

Dan, Al's been reading too many Victorian novels again.

Yes I remember what it felt like. Excruciating? Hardly. The doctors had
to wake me up in the middle of a contraction to check me.

And I was completely awake for my last child's birth...by C-section.
(After trying for 2 days to start a natural labor)

Al tends to take what he knows HE wouldn't get through and make it into
a full-blown melodrama.

Nope. Never posted a thing except some surrealistic poetry and a bad
rip off of a Beatles song. THAT's what he calls answering the question.

RC> Not to mention that adopted children are wanted by those who do
RC> adopt them. That's more than can be said of some who aren't adopted.

Still, ALL adopted children...even those with the best families...go
through a stage where they are alternately convinced that they were
stolen from their birth parents (who were rich, beautiful, powerful and
never, ever yelled and made you clean your room or said no to anything)

and sold or were totally unwanted by same.

It's just part of the adoption dynamic. Most kids grow out of it. Some
don't. The ones who get stuck thinking their birth families had to be
even better usually get a big shock when/if they ever meet them. The
ones who feel like they were treated as you would the garbage are usually
unwilling to accept that the decision made was done for their best
interest.

Gouda is not Italian. It's Dutch.

I may be misreading you, but it seems that you have something against
sacred beliefs held by much of our society, valid or not...the proof isn't
in...(and woant be in all liklihood till long after our demise)
I'd prefer not to believe that, so I pose it as a question, and even if
you said you held nothing sacred (which I would doubt), I think I would
not believe it.

Irregardless (sure wish Websters would make that a word), why does it

You haven't read Jastrow either, have you, Laurie.  Either that or you are

once more misrepresenting an authority to invent support for your position.

Hint: the theologians he was talking about were NOT young earth 
Creationists.

Take care.

Good morning, Laurie.

RM>Your continued willingness to violate basic principles of ethics is what

RM>noticed that even Andrew, who originally supported you, is now trying
to
RM>distance himself from you?  To his credit, he cannot abide your lack

RM>ethics any more than I can.

DR>  Don't let that get to ya Laurie.  I didn't back away

DR> either.  Us blathering fundies gotta stick together no
DR> matter what! :)

LA> Thanks David. It seems that 'RM' must be desperately short
LA> of anything intelligent to say when he makes such silly,
LA> unjustified and defamatory statements.

Getting back into name calling, eh?  The truth in this case might be 
"silly", but the truth is never "unjustified", and if the truth is  
"defamatory", well, you are in control of that, Laurie.  Just stop 
doing those things that you consider "defamatory" when someone else points

them out.

LA> However, seems like I have not had enough time to read all
LA> the other messages that have been left here.

.  Yeah, sure.  The messages that you wish to ignore, somehow go 
unread, eh?

LA> The only "Andrew" that I have found on my list so far is Andrew
LA> Masten,

That's the Andrew to whom I was referring. 

LA> and so far he has not "distanced himself" from me
LA> anyway.

He certainly has.  The relevant passage, which you are pretending never

existed:

AM> Without belaboring the point, I concede that Laurie, in what is
AM> evidently misguided enthusiasm, has gone over the line. Its too
AM> bad, because I think creationism can stand on its own merits
AM> without out resorting to unsavory tactics in its defense.

"Over the line".  "Unsavoury tactics".  I'd call that distancing himself.

Perhaps, in your "misguided enthusiasm" you consider such comments to be

high praise.

LA> Perhaps there is such a message from him in my
LA> "capture" files that has not yet "surfaced"!

C'mon, Laurie.  Andrew posted that back in December.  I missed it the 
first time due to feed problems, but I saw the relevant passage quoted 
back to Andrew in a note from Martin.  I quoted that part again in a note

to Andrew, asking him to repost the original, which he did.

So, the relevant passage, (which contains YOUR NAME) has been posted here

at least 4 times that I am aware of.  You expect us to believe that you

missed a passage that contains your own name four separate times?  

You just _wish_ we had missed it.

LA> The alternative is that RM is all confused - AGAIN!!

.  I'm not confused at all, in spite of your attempts to create 
confusion.  Andrew is embarassed by your tactics, and you know it.

LA> No one
LA> has shown that the statement attributed to Clarence Darrow
LA> about "absolute bigotry to teach only view of origins" was
LA> not said by him.

We don't have to.  What we have shown is that you have absolutely no basis

for claiming that he DID say it.  You are putting words in his mouth, pure

and simple.  That is an extremely dishonest tactic.  You know it is 
dishonest, but you just can't bring yourself to stop doing it. 

Your ethics are pathetic, Laurie.  No wonder Andrew want's no part of 
trying to defend you.  If David wants to be put in the same category as
a 
demonstrated liar, that's a telling admission of his own ethical standards.

Take care.

Hi Dan.

Sorry, guys, Mormonism isn't even CLOSE to Christianity, or at least, not
as
close as the LDS church would have you believe.  The church which Jesus
Christ
founded did not have temples in which secret (excuse me, "sacred") rituals
were performed.  The church which Jesus Christ founded did not have the
Book
of Mormon, nor the Doctrine & Covenants, nor the Pearl of Great Price. 
The
church which Jesus Christ founded had neither the Aaronic nor Melchisedec
Priesthoods.

The church which Jesus Christ founded did not have wards, nor stakes.  The
church which Jesus Christ founded did not have Quorums of the Seventy. 
The
church which Jesus Christ founded did not have many of the doctrines which
the
Mormons teach and preach as truth.

With all that being said, what did the church of Jesus Christ have?  It
had
(and still has) one thing that I wish all Mormons truly had, which they
pretend to have....JESUS!  And it's my sincere prayer that all Mormons strip
away all of that non-Biblical nonsense that's been taught to them by their
LDS
leaders, and come to know the real Jesus Christ, Who loved them enough to
die
for their sins.

Is that your prayer, too?  If it is, and you are a Mormon, repent of your
sins
and ask Jesus Christ to come into your life today.  Then leave the church.
Find a nearby Baptist or Assemblies of God church, and join it.  I'll be
praying for you.

Hi Marilyn.

I hate to disagree with you (disagreement NEVER happens on this echo, right?
), but a few years ago, I did research on the Star of Bethlehem which
leads
me to believe that Christ was actually born on Sept. 15, 7 B.C., or at least
sometime within mid-September of 7 B.C.  Let me illustrate why:

As we now know, the wise men (and there were probably more than three) were
probably astrologers.  Thus they would have been well versed in the meaning
and appearance of the objects in the night sky.  Beginning in 8 B.C., Jupiter
and Saturn did a sort of "interplanetary dance" that can be best described
as
a triple conjunction.  This means that the two planets appeared very close
together in the sky, then (over a period of several weeks, or even months)
one
planet would appear to get more and more distant from the other.  Then the
planet which was "ahead" of the other would go into what's called *retrograde
motion*, which is an apparent backwards motion.  (It's really an optical
illusion of sorts, caused by the complexity of orbital mechanics.)  This
would
happen, again, over a period of several weeks or months, until a second
appearance together would occur.  Then, either the other planet would go
into
retrograde motion, or the first would begin to move forward again.  And
there
you have your third conjunction.

Jupiter was regarded as the star of royalty, and Saturn the star of godhood.
Thus various configurations of these "stars"  (the Greeks first called them
wandering stars, or planetes, from which we get the term planets) in different
constellations would mean different things.  Particularly of interest to
this
discussion is that the third conjunction occurred in the constellation Virgo,
the virgin.  The constellation names and meanings were the same for the
ancient Magi as they are for modern astrologers.  (And, for the millionth
time, astronomy IS NOT astrology!!!!!  Astronomy is the study of the stars,
planets and space in general, while astrology is the practice of divination
based on the positions of the planets!  Astronomers simply use the
constellations as a "road map" of the night sky.)

The third conjunction occurred in mid-September, 7 B.C.  Best visibility
(assuming, of course, clear weather, which I have no way of knowing about)
would have occurred on or about September 15.

I have absolutely no evidence whatsoever, but I'll bet
the _roller_ was used by those stone-moving cats in Central
and South America. Interesting point about the sacredness of
the circle, but the presence of a wheel on a toy argues
against the shape's being tabu (unless the kid who owned the
toy was the equivalent of the Dali Lama or something).

Another interesting point: notice that elephants are
used for carrying (both trunk and back), pushing, and
dragging logs and such, but not for drawing. I have never
seen an elephant cart depicted anywhere. Certainly it has
the mass and the strength to draw, but somehow has
apparently not been found suitable for the task.

adding:

GT> Evidence of this, please?    And even if true, why

GT> of any interest whatsoever to us non-Abrahamics?

JF> It's called THE BIBLE.

Sorry, books of propaganda (propaganda: writings to
propagate the faith) don't count as evidence for imaginary
superfriends. If you wish them to, you must accept what the
Vedas have to say about a bunch of gods you have probably
never heard of.

The fact that such books are inclined to proclaim
themselves to be THE TRVTH does not, I fear, make them so.
Now, have you any real _evidence_ that your deity is
anything more than a product of human imagination?

JF> You certainly don't have any proof that
JF> Jesus DIDN'T turn water into wine,

Every time somebody asks for evidence around here, some
idiot fundy thinks the guy said "proof". No, Glen did not
mention proof, a much more difficult thing than evidence.
He asked for evidence.

Got any?

CJ> Except that above you defined the nature of the sacred as
CJ> 'you shall not have other gods besides me.'

He's misquoting Judaic scripture, anyway. the correct quote is
"thou shalt have no other gods BEFORE me." The difference is
significant. If you'll read on in that text, Jehovah says he's a
jealous god and insists on FIRST PLACE. That strongly suggests
that whoever wrote that text (it wasn't Moses, for sure, but you
twitty friend probably thinks it was) recognized the fact that
there WERE other gods, and Jehovah simply wanted to be first.

To further put the text in context, Originally the Israelites were
polytheists. During their exile in Egypt, Ramoses I was pharoah.
He was probably the first monotheist, but was having one deuce of
a time selling the idea to the populace. 

Ramoses knew that a famine was about to start in the land, and he
also knew that there wasn't enough grain in storage to feed both
the Egyptians AND the Israelites. He convinced his son Ramoses II
to lead the Israelites out of Egypt in a way that would not let
them know that the Pharoah was behind the plot, figuring that if
they did know, they would think the plot was a trap. 

He further instructed Ramoses II to make a deal with the
Israelites to become monotheists as part of the bargain, and in
return for them giving up their polytheism, he would lead them out
of Egypt. Ramoses II made the deal with the Israelites, and he led
them out of exile. But, the Israelites at that time didn't fully
buy into the idea of monotheism, but instead became monists. A
monist is somebody who has many gods, but thinks there is one Big
Kahuna, who, in this particular case, was Jehovah.

It is no accident that the names Ramoses and Moses are as close as
they are. Many OT scholars believe that Ramoses II WAS Moses, and
that he convinced them to HAVE NO OTHER GOD __BEFORE__ Jehovah!

_Mythology's Last Gods_ is a pretty good read. It was originally a
doctoral dissertation that later became a modestly selling book.
The author's name is William Harwood. It's in that book, the whole
story.

EVERYTHING it stands for?  To me, CHristanity stands for love, peace, justice,
and freedom..  Not exactly horrible concepts..

Christianity does not teach women are to be property..  One could, however,
argue if it says that women have less of a say so than men in some instances..

CHildren certainly belong to the parents..  If not, than who do they belong
to?
DO you have the right to raise them as you see fit?  Then you own them..

On the church authority, I will agree with you partially.  The manmade church
itself has no right to control others, but if that church is going according
to God's wishes, then they are doing nothing wrong.

If CHristians are right about God, then doesn't it make sense that the creator
should have every right in the world to judge who He created?

What about the god  of homosexual. Those who are not class
as the normal, will undergo all of the above.
[ this has happen ] still happens. Gay people must be the
only Real True Humans.They know ahead of time what might happen
to them.

Then too what of the god  of blacks.
Those who are not class as the normal, will undergo all of the above.
Perhaps not so much in this day and age, but in the pass.The black who
stood up for human rights of blacks went through all this shit.
Are Blacks, the only Real True Humans. Blacks also knew ahead of
time what would happen if they stood for their rights. Some still tried.

Or is it only those who have Al's God, who are Real True Humans.

Forget the gods, look to the humans who go against the current
grain of socity. Or does it only apply to a one time event and never
happen before that event and has never happen since ?

How does humans getting beaten to death for their belief show
any kind of evidence for a god happening. If and a BIG IF Al, it may
help your real god. Show how it only happen once and never again.

Otherwwise it's all just so much bullshit and shows nothing to
back a Jesus belief.

So they knew what may happen, big deal. Many before and after
have gone the same route and still go through it.

JS> (2 Tim 3:16 NIV)  All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
JS> teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

MH> I know the Bible says this about itself, Jim, but where is there
MH> *anything* in the Bible that demonstrates any kind of knowledge that
MH> wasn't available to the people of the time? How come the Creation
MH> story doesn't mention microbes, just for one example.

LB> I have never quite understood how this passage is taken to indicate
LB> anything inerrant or supernatural about the scriptures.

It's the "God-breathed" phrase. What Jim doesn't take into account is,
at the time 2 Timothy was written, "scripture" would refer to the
Hebrew scriptures ... the Old Testament, essentially.

LB> If I were to write an essay denoting my thoughts about you, it would
LB> be inspired by you...might even be called "Michael-breathed" in the
LB> sense that it would be suffused with my thoughts about you. That
LB> wouldn't mean that you wrote it, or even agreed with it. It would still
LB> only indicate my impressions of you.

Yeah, that's another way to read the phrase. Hadn't thought of it like
that.

LB> And scriptures ARE useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting,
LB> etc.....and often ARE when they are used here in Holysmoke to point
out
LB> some of the inconsistancies of christian theology. ;)

LB> Seriously, though, "useful" doesn't indicate inerrant. I have shelves
LB> FULL of books that have been useful to me. None of them are sacred -
LB> none inerrant or above being questioned.

LB> I don't think the author of the above passage EVER intended his words
LB> to indicate some rule that says "Thou shalt not THINK about what
LB> scripture says, just obey."

And it's especially a stretch to insist it applies just to the
canonized Christian (Protestant?) Bible.

LB> The scriptures are very useful for understanding how early christians
LB> regarded
LB> their faith...what expressions they took. SOME of the scriptures even
LB> have what I would regard as "truth" - concepts that are nearly
LB> universal and have parallels in the sacred writings and beliefs of
LB> other faiths.  But there is no indication that the modern evangelical
LB> attachment to it all as a strictly LITERAL recounting of events was
LB> ever a requirement of the earliest church.
LB> Indeed, if we accept the recounting of Jesus' ministry in action, we
LB> see that his primary method was the use of parable, symbol and
LB> allegory. Why would
LB> his first followers NOT continue the same method?  Not with intent to
LB> deceive,
LB> but because they had seen it *work*. The earliest audience may well
LB> have accepted and understood that, with only the 2nd generation
LB> beginning to misunderstand.

Probably not even the second. The official doctrine of inerrancy is
less than two centuries old, I think.

... The invitation said black tie only. Why are all of you in suits?

AS> Yes. But those prayers are not always answered.  (Indeed, if they
AS> were answered infallibly all the time, people would treat it more like
AS> sorcery than prayer...a demand, not a petition.) And rarely in a way
AS> that circumvents natural law.

MH> Although, Jesus guaranteed that they would be.

LB> Which leads to the pervasive notion, expressed or otherwise, that
LB> unanswered prayer means you didn't pray RIGHT, or ask for the right
LB> thing....or are selfish to ask for what you are asking for.  Always
LB> back to the idea that it's the imperfect human's fault that the

LB> NO would have been preferable, even if it were painful to hear, to the
LB> still silence that kept us wondering whether we'd been heard at all.
Or
LB> what we did to be "twitted" by the god we were told we needed to obey
LB> and love.

Yeah. I've prayed a number of times where I felt "plugged in" to the
divine, but never in any tangible way, never in any way that could be
proven to be anything more than a state of mind.

MH> Any evidence that Christians, or any other group, has a higher rate
MH> of such things than everybody else, suggesting divine favor?

LB> No specific group, that I know of, altho I have seen recent things
LB> suggesting that having some sort of organized spiritual life
LB> (regardless of the specifics
LB> of it) can be beneficial. What the data is behind that, I have no
LB> idea, but I think it makes sense in light of what you say below:

Yeah, there's less uncertainty, more comfort, associated with religious
belief, as well as less likelihood of drug abuse or other
self-destructive behaviors.

MH> I have always thought of prayer more as a meditative exercise to put
MH> us in touch with the divine, not an opportunity to present a wish
MH> list. I may begin practicing it again, even through my agnosticism,
MH> and see if I still benefit from it.

LB> As you know, I continued long after I had stopped being comfortable
LB> with faith, to continue a long practiced, developed prayer life. The
LB> routine itself
LB> had been a source of strength - a way of putting into words and to the
LB> front of my own mind those things that were important to me. Often,
we
LB> discover where our heart lies in the act of prayer.  It wasn't until
I
LB> began directly dealing with issues of whether there was someone on the
LB> other end to hear at ALL (as opposed to someone just not bothering to
LB> answer) that it became painful
LB> to continue....and it was your very wise advice that if the context
of
LB> the method I had used for so long was no longer providing me with
LB> anything beneficial, I should put it away. It was a radical piece of
LB> advice you gave me, by far the most uncomfortable and most important
LB> thing that anyone has said to me in this past year, although I know
it
LB> sounds so obvious now. For me, breaking that pattern was more
LB> difficult...and more permanent....than any of the changes in belief
I
LB> have gone through.  My theology was always about action more than
LB> faith.
LB> I have found that I am still interested in an organized method of
LB> meditating on those actions, and am slowly and hesitantly developing
LB> new ways to do so. Including even some of my older methods, such as
LB> journaling. Sometimes, I still
LB> do include what would be called "prayer", although I am no longer so
LB> concerned
LB> with whether anyone is on the other end to hear the message. *I* hear
LB> it...and
LB> in the end, that was all I was ever certain of, anyway.

LB> If God overhears, and wants to respond, he knows where to find me. :)

I do think there is value in finding some way to meditate, some way to
connect with yourself if not God. It can be done in any number of ways,
though, no need to make it formal "prayer."

MH> Jim, but where is there

MH>  wasn't available to the people of the time? How come the Creation
MH> story  doesn't mention microbes, just for one example.

JS> It wasn't necessarily needed at that time. And, obviously not God's
JS> plan to bring that particular time. But, back to the question at
JS> hand: The relevency of scripture in today's world and life. Do you see
JS> anything, as far as exhortation that in the NT (Pauline books, for
JS> example) that isn't for the 90's?

How about men not having long hair? Do you really think God cares if
people can see the back of my collar?

AS> is fine, except I don't think it would work in a lot of cases. How
AS> would you distinguish such from personal hallucination? Even if it

But the point is *not* convincing someone else, it *is* to convince the
one person who'd be convinced by it, the one who asked for it.

... Behind every double standard is a single hidden agenda.

MH> That's a non-sequitur. Real altruism may not be a survival trait, but
MH> it's also rare enough that it causes no overall harm to the species.
MH> No God needed to explain it; it's a quirk.

AS> Then it's an odd quirk that runs through all the species...and all
AS> our highest ideals embrace that "quirk". Very few societies don't
AS> agree that selfless acts are holy, noble, and to be desired, no matter
AS> how rarely they are carried out.

MH> I'm not sure about that. We all admire the occasional self-sacrifice,
MH> but we also all sympathize greatly with those who can't bring
MH> themselves to make such sacrifices ... because most of us wouldn't.

AS> But which do you idealize? The Thomas Mores, the Martin Luther Kings,
AS> or just the rank and file? Which inspire us? I submit it is the
AS> Gandhis, the Mores, the Joan of Arcs, Martin Luther Kings who most
AS> inspire us, and we most aspire to be like.

Inspire, yes. Aspire? I don't really think so. I think most of us are
content to not be heroes, to not die for a principle. In evolutionary
terms, whatever we may *think* about that kind of self-sacrifice, it
happens seldom enough to not threaten the species.

AS> They have indeed. Nazi Germany comes to mind. But that is the
AS> exception, not the rule. Even in primitive societies, the mad are
AS> often regarded as "holy" and left alone.

MH> Again, though, I think evolution explains it. Compassion is a
MH> survival trait ... it may lead to some degree of individual sacrifice,
MH> but it is good for the species overall.

AS> I think it is good in a deeper sense. But keeping the deficient alive
AS> makes no evolutionary sense, even though it appeals to all which is
AS> most human in us.

That's true, it doesn't -- except maybe in a vague way by encouraging
respect for our lives in general. However, like altruism, it takes so
little away from our species that our overall survival isn't
threatened.

... Too many people speak twice before they think.

RC> How about a title? "The Great Twinkie Incident."


I've got it listed as "A Weighty Flame War" on my Hot Topics page with the
following intro:

Flame-broiled Sacred Cows are the meal of choice in Holysmoke, and Twinkies
make a great chaser. It's always interesting to see someone who understands
that suddenly go ballistic when their own cow is put on the Holysmoke grill.
This began with an irreverent observation that less Twinkies would reduce
weight. No, the comment wasn't "nice". Neither, however, was repeating it
to
a minor and then throwing said minor into the fray without preparation.

All the same ways humans learn Al. We didn't all INDEPENDANTLY come up with
an English vocabulary, you know.

The above is as much 'true language' as any two year old learning the fine
art of language play...taking words already within their vocabulary and
rejoining them to generate new meaning. And amusing, toilet humor combinations
are most definitely par for the course.

AS> Look, some of the guys who STARTED the CofC were fairly englightened

AS> than an actual transubstition as the Catholics and Episcopals do. The

Not offended, just correcting.

From the Articles of Religion of the Episcopal Church, laid forth in 1801:

Article XXVIII. Of the Lord's Supper

Paragraph 2:

"Transubstantiation (or the change of the substance of Bread and Wine) in
the Supper of the Lord, cannot be proved by Holy Writ; but is repugnant
to the plain words of Scripture, overthroweth the nature of a Sacrament,
and hath given occasion to many superstitions."

AS> about Revelations...but I can't deny that there is not the broad range
AS> of deep thinkers that we sometimes see in Episcopal or Catholic
AS> circles. OTOH, and please let no one Episcopal take this as a flame
AS> (that means you, Lynda) I have found more sheer spirituality in the
AS> CofC...or at least some churches of it...then I found in Episcopal
AS> churches.

Why would I think it a flame for you to recount what is plainly your own
experience, rather than something intended to be a universal truism?
Considering the number of misapprehensions you have about doctrinal issues
within the Episcopal Church, I would be the first to admit that the parish
of your childhood was less than fully engaged on a spiritual or pastoral
level.

I have seen a fairly broad range of spiritual expression just within the
Episcopal Church itself, and do know there is room for deep spirituality
and a conviction to act in compassion based on that foundation. I also,
as you know, have become inactive due to an abundance of example that, for
many 'scandal' is the biggest concern they have, rather than any honest
expression of what they say is faith.

So why would I feel it a flame for you to acknowledge what I have also seen?
