"And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

Welcome. Watch out for Kafty. His alter ego is a mod.

So that's why Baley enjoys goatse!

We're always serious, Commy.

Our new pope.

I've converted Sarj.

See all better! You next Cantousant! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I said hug, not strangle!

:'(

Hug me!

I can sit through an entire movie. A lot of times though, I end up watching only half or select parts of it. Just the other day I was skipping through The Return of the King and watching random scenes.

Way less loading screens would be nice, too. I thought K2 would have improved on them, but they were just as bad. Also, better ranged combat would be really nice. That's another thing K2 didn't really improve on.

I love Kreia's quotes, too. One of my favorites goes something like this: Kreia: "No man can have that sort of power and still be..." Exile: "How can anyone possess that kind of power?" Kreia: "Power? No, you are mistaken..." "

Just to be fair, he only killed her because he loved her. "

Mira's lips are a tad too big and dark in the game. She sort of looks like a duck from afar. :D

Oh. Well, apologies if it seemed that way.

Yeah. What would be interesting would be to make a movie based entirely on the villain's persective. I'd want to see it.

I have nothing against science, either. I do agree with Cantousent that my inability to keep my mouth shut gets me in a tight spot a lot of times. I tend to get defensive of my faith. But just because I am proud of my faith doesn't mean I want a theocracy or want to ban teaching evolution in schools. What does get me though is that I'm constantly forced to defend my faith from others. I never attacked anyone on this board for being an atheist. But I have repeatedly had to answer for my faith to a lot of people on this board. And to answer Comissar's question: yes, I do. I'm well aware that not everything in the Bible is perfect or infallible. It's teachings are quite clear, however. And frankly, while humans may be the most intelligent species on this planet, we have a plethora of flaws. I wouldn't be surprised if a higher intelligence did exist in the universe. And for the record Baley, I have looked a lot into Satanism. I have read books and articles on it and its history, I've looked at theological and secular sources, watched documentaries, and even attended lectures on it. So yes, I do think I know what I'm talking about. And Lonewolf, while I'm not the brightest of creatures, I never said I was too stupid to understand God's reasoning, I've mostly just offered my opinions on it. Disagree with them if you wish. As WITHTEETH said, some of it is interpretation. In my humble opinion though, I don't think we even could understand all of God's motivations if it existed. But to quote the Mothman Prophecies: "You're more advanced than a roach. Have you ever tried explaining yourself to one of them?"

Just to clear something up before I leave, the *sigh*'s were actually more from me starting to get tired of arguing while still having this homework to put up with. Sorry if you took it the wrong way, I wasn't trying to make it look like I believed everything I stated was fact. Okay, now I'll get back to my homework. (friggin AP courses) <_<

*SIGH* Well, I guess you'll just have to take it up with him then, pixies. I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to finish homework. Adios. On one final note, I wouldn't put too much faith in humanity's intelligence. Humanity has shown time and again we don't always know what's best for us.

Stop being such a hypocrite.Christian cults have performed "vile deeds" over the years as well.Or do we forget about them? Christianity has more crimes under it's golden robe than Satanism ever will. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *sigh* AGAIN, that is not because of Christianity, but humanity's own failings. Christianity does not permit that, Satanism does. I don't condone any of the things Christians (not Christianity) have done in the past, but that is not the religion's fault.

I was only using Lucifer as a symbol.I don't believe in either him or the Christian deity. And yes I have read on Satanism in the past. Mothman:By tricking man,he offered him knowledge.I'd prefer it to blind obedience. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And you'd take death and punishment as well for knowledge? @pixies: it's a bit of both, I think. Sometimes a parent knows a child won't understand why he or she is not allowed to do something, but must obey anyway for their own good. For instance, not to touch fire. A parent can tell the child that he/she will be burned, but the child won't really know why, and won't know for sure if the parent is telling the truth or not unless the child touches fire for him/herself. But if they did, they would still be burned. God told Adam and Eve that some pretty nasty things would happen if they ate from the tree. And yet, they still did it, with a little help from Satan, of course. BTW, WITHTEETH, the Bible makes it clear Satan/Lucifer is a real being, not an idea. Remember the snake in Genesis? That would be him.

*sigh* @pixies: No, of course not. But at the same time, we should be able to listen as well. @withteeth: see the above. And besides, being able to obey one command makes us far from having to be perfect. Once again, according to the Bible, we were made to be perfect in the sense of being free from sin. Since supposedly humanity is not perfect, he doesn't demand perfection. As for Satanism, that is a serious misconception. Don't forget Satan was the reason they ate the fruit in the first place. It was his fault humanity had to be punished. Remember it was he who came to Eve and tricked her into eating the fruit? So the guy isn't as nice as he seems, is he? ^_^ Have you even read about Satanic cults, anyway? Very sick and twisted, I tell you, what some of them had done and still do.

Yeah. WC3 was good, IMO, but not as good as SC in many ways. I think Blizzard may be hoping to revive interest in the Starcraft universe with the release of Ghost, and then move on to Starcraft: 2.

This beckons my previous statement about good and evil. You mentioned motivations. Adam being ignorant had no evil motivations since he did not know evil. yet still, still punished. and we are still being punished for the sins of our fathers. That is, in the Christian worldview. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Adam did not know about good and evil, but he did know he wasn't supposed to eat from the tree. That's why he was punished. Example: a parent may tell his child not to do something. The child does not understand why, but at the same time he must obey his parent. If the child does it anyway, then he still is liable to be punished because he deliberately disobeyed his parent.
