Dark Moth

I'm a rock person. More specifically, the "classic" rock variety, with artists like Metallica, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Aerosmith, etc. I'm not as much into the modern rock as I once was. But in all reality, I can listen to practically anything, rock, classical music, etc., except for most rap, death metal, and gay pop/disco.

Psssst. Because he has a very small pee-pee. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And you know what they say: those who type small have none.

Exactly. In Atton's case, he just talked too much and wouldn't shut up.

The man is brilliant, I tell ya!

I just would like to say that I love your sig, Darque. :D That is all.

Exactly! Why can't we all just get along and hold hands, and sing this song?

If a tree falls in the forest, and it hits a mime, and nobody hears it, does anybody care?

I have a better question! If you wrote your autobiography in invisible ink, would you disappear?

Did anybody hear something? Ha ha! Just kidding. But not really.

That amazes me. Atton whined more than Carth ever did. Especially in the beginning.

Black Sabbath - Iron Man

Speaking of which, I did see an episode of Invader Zim. Weird cartoon, but funny. Grr just kills me. I'd have to say the Simpsons and South Park are among my favorites, even if for the satire alone. :D

You hate Drawn Together? No way! By the way did anyone catch the "new" ren and stimpy - Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon a while back? That show was warped. The original was good weird stuff before they fired John Kricfalusi. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I watched two episodes of the "adult party cartoon"...and I still regret it to this day. I'm glad the show never got off the ground. The old kids' show was kind of funny, though. As for "Drawn Together", the show would be better if they didn't try to offend people just for the sake of offending people. <_< Oh, Spongebob Squarepants sucks.

Hamlet "A little more than kin and less than kind!" "Something is rotten rotten in the state of Denmark." "Thou com'st in such a questionable shape That I will speak to thee. I'll call thee Hamlet, King, father, royal Dane. O, answer me! Let me not burst in ignorance, but tell Why thy canonized bones, hearsed in death, Have burst their cerements; why the sepulchre Wherein we saw thee quietly inurned, Hath opened his ponderous and marble jaws To cast thee up again. What may this mean That thou, dead corse, again in complete steel, Revisits thus the glimpses of the moon, Making night hideous, and we fools of nature So horridly to shake our disposition With thoughts beyond the reaches of our souls? Say, why is this? wherefore? What should we do?" I think I'm one of the few kids in my school who actually enjoys reading Shakespeare. Brilliant guy, ol' Bill.

Mostly at night, as a true moth should.

Guns 'n' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle :cool:

Bye, DL! Good luck. *waves* I may be on a hiatus soon myself, for similar reasons. I do. And damn proud of it! Just FYI, there are better translations out there. The KJV contains translational errors itself, and is written in Elizabethan English, so not everything in it is accurate. (not necessarily referring to that verse) BTW, I've read some of Holy Blood, Holy Grail. (my dad has his own copy) It does appear convincing at first, but upon examination one can tell that it contains numerous historical errors. I wouldn't take it too seriously. For those of you who have read the Da Vinci Code, I'd also recommend "The Da Vinci Hoax" and "Truth and Fiction in the Da Vinci Code"

Part of the reason for Christian violence was the emergence of the corrupt institution of the Roman Catholic Church. Combine that with authority, and you have trouble, even with a religion like Christianity. And I don't mean to offend Catholics, but back then the institution was most certainly corrupt. Of course, you then had crazy fundamentalist groups like the Puritans which didn't make things any easier later on.

I know a lot of idiots, too. Would that be okay for Muhammad to wish him torture, damnation, and his wife to be hanged? You say Muhammad's suffering may have been greater than Jesus'? Jesus suffered the same spiritual anguish, as well as the torture and death Muhammad never had to endure. You know about my attitude toward Muhammad already. My opinions are all based on fact. Muhammad killed. Muhammad murdered. Muhammad defied his own faith. Muhammad may have had sexual relations with a nine year old (whom he may have married when she was six). I dare you to tell me this is false. Here's another example of Muhammad, the great and forgiving man, in action: After the battle of Badr, Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait, one of the Quraysh leaders, pleaded with Muhammad for his life. He pleaded for his life. "But who will look after my children, O Muhammad?" "Hell," responded Muhammad, and ordered Uqba killed. Also, Amr ibn Hisham, (also known as Abu Jahl, a name given to him by Muslims, meaning "father of ignorance), another Quraysh leader, was beheaded. The Muslim who cut off his head proudly carried it to Muhammad and said "I cut off his head and brought it to the apostle, saying, "this is the head of the enemy of God, Abu Jahl.'" Muhammad was delighted, and said "By God than Whom there is no other, is it?", and gave thanks to Allah for his death. This information comes from Ibn Ishaq's "The Life of Muhammad".

This is just too catchy. Oh, here's the original song, by the way. ^_^

"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword." (Matthew 10:34) It's all about the interpretation... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In that case, that is of course figurative. Jesus never killed anyone, nor encouraged violence. All his teachings go against physical force. In fact, he forbid his apostles from fighting in order to save him from the Romans. Also, even in that verse, it is not a command to kill, as the Quranic verses listed above. Lastly, those words were true in the sense that the coming of Christ didn't bring peace to the earth. Why? He knew there would be hard times ahead. Christians were persecuted, and the faith caused division amonst people, because many refused to accept it. Hope that makes sense.

1. It may interest you to note that in Islam, the world is divided into two parts: "Dar al Islam", House of Islam, and "Dar al Charb", House of war. Also, the submission part refers to god, not submission to other men. 2. I'd be a lot more sympathetic if religions such as Buddhism and Christianity managed to survive without waging wars. In Christianity's case, they faced even worse persecution but never waged any wars in order to survive. And I'm of course talking about during the time of the Roman Empire, not afterward. 3. Even in context, all the verses still mean as they are shown above. In fact, the one verse you sight still goes on to say "when the forbidden months are past, fight and slay the infidels wherever ye find them..." 4. Yes I can. Does it say "kill those who insult the Holy Spirit"? 5. Muhammad did not "choose" exile. He was forced into exile because of hostility toward him. And it wasn't without good reason. Muhammad had been causing disturbances in the city in his quest to convert others. Maybe you never heard about his attitudes toward his uncle, in which he became angry and even cursed his uncle and aunt when he refused to convert? His words, still preserved in the Quran, were "May the hands of Abu Lahab perish! May he himself perish! Nothing shall his wealth and gains avail him. He shall be burnt in a flaming fire, and his wife, laden with faggots, shall have a rope of fibre arounder her neck!" (Sura 111: 1-5)

"Fighting may be imposed on you, even though you dislike it. But you may dislike something which is good for you, and you may like something which is bad for you. GOD knows while you do not know. They ask you about the Sacred Months and fighting therein: say, "Fighting therein is a sacrilege. However, repelling from the path of GOD and disbelieving in Him and in the sanctity of the Sacred Masjid, and evicting its people, are greater sacrileges in the sight of GOD. Oppression is worse than murder." They will always fight you to revert you from your religion, if they can. Those among you who revert from their religion, and die as disbelievers, have nullified their works in this life and the Hereafter. These are the dwellers of Hell, wherein they abide forever." (Sura 2:16-17) "And he who fights in the cause of Allah and is killed achieves victory. We will bestow on him a great reward." (Sura 4:74). "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve in the cause of Satan. So fight against the allies of Satan." (Sura 4:76). "Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and his messenger . . . is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from the opposite sides." (Sura 5:33). "I will instill terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads then, and strike off them every finger-tip." (Sura 8:12). "Kill those who join other gods with God (Allah) wherever you find them." (Sura 9:5). "Fight those who do not believe in Allah." (Sura 9:29). "If you do not fight, (Allah) will punish you severely, and put others in your place." (Sura 9:39). "O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them." (Sura 9:75). "So when you meet those who disbelieve, strike their necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds . . . And those who are killed in the cause of Allah never will waste their deeds." (Sura 47:4). I don't mean to offend, but if I may be blunt, just what the hell are Muslims supposed to gather from those verses?
