actually that would've been much better example, since unlike this Virgin Birth thing, there isn't other sources in scriptures that makes up the "correct" translation (as virgin is correct translation here)

I thought you had enough of this here. I haven't read full topic yet, but using Bible as a infallible source of info is ridiculous. Logical errors and downright silliness aside, even mere number of retranslations makes things vague. For instance, whole virgin birth thing. Hebrew word used for Mary is almah, which means young girl/woman. Being virgin is not part of the word. "Almah ("עלמה") or plural: alamot ("עלמות") is a Hebrew feminine noun, for a girl who has reached puberty but is still under the shielding protection of her family; she is a young, marriageable (i.e. unmarried) girl. In Bibles, almah is typically translated as virgin, maiden, young woman, damsel or girl. For theological reasons, the meaning and definition of this word (especially the definition of "virgin") can be controversial, particularly when applied to Isaiah 7:14." That's how wiki puts it. Of course, it's clear both Matthew and Luke meaned that Mary was virgin (it's clearly visable from thier narrative) and almah's were mostly virgins, but this is still great example of how fallible translations tend to be. Also, useful "affirming" for those constructing historical Jesus Here's table for comparison for those interestested. "From the earliest days of Christianity, Jewish critics have argued that Christians were mistaken in their reading of almah in Isaiah 7:14.[17] Because the author of Matthew 1:23, believed that Jesus was born of a virgin, he quoted Isaiah: "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son" as a proof-text for the divine origin of Jesus. Jewish scholars declare that Matthew is in error, that the word almah means young woman (just as the male equivalent elem means young man). It does not denote a virgin or sexual purity but age. Because a different Hebrew word, bethulah ("בתולה"), is most commonly used for virgin even in modern Hebrew, the prophet could not have meant virgin in Isaiah 7:14. Many Christian apologists respond that throughout the Old Testament, in every other instance where a girl is described as almah, she is a girl who has never known a man carnally or had intercourse. Moreover, the word bethulah is sometimes used to describe women who are arguably not virgins (Joel 1.8 and Esther 2:8-17), and in at least two cases (Genesis 24: 16 and Judges 21: 12), an additional phrase in the text explains that that the bethulah has "not known a man." Thus, they argue, almah refers to virgins more consistently than does bethulah. Most importantly, the Jewish scholars who translated and compiled the Hebrew scriptures (the Torah first and then later the Prophets and the Writings) into a Greek version of the Old Testament, translated almah in Isaiah 7:14 as parthenos, which almost always[18] means "virgin". Since these Jewish scholars were well acquainted with the meaning of the old Hebrew words as well as the Greek, their interpretation (developed hundreds of years before Jesus) should be given special weight. Some scholars contend that debates over the precise meaning of bethulah and almah are misguided because no Hebrew word encapsulates the idea of certain virginity. Martin Luther also argued that the debate was irrelevant, not because the words do not clearly mean virgin, but because almah and bethulah were functional synonyms"

Pink Floyd - Dogs I love Animals album. One of their best. Especially Dogs (Dogs are used to represent the megalomaniacal businessmen who destroy themselves and those around them by obsessing over their egos and their careers )bwith Gilmour's factastic guitar work and Water's lyrics is one of my favorite songs by them. If Animal Farm would've been album instead of book, it would be this. And after a while, you can work on points for style. Like the club tie, and the firm handshake, A certain look in the eye and an easy smile. You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to, So that when they turn their backs on you, You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

Lots of stuff about how this teeter-tootering on the pseudo-ethical precipice was complete crap and useless. Wait...why can't you remember? We talked about this "post on the internet when drunk"-thing of yours before, right? No memories of that either Anyway, I guess that post was little bit too harsh and mean in that post. I'm not safe from fanwanking. And talking about ethics and morals are one of my keen interests, but I tend to get little bit... annoyed when they're implemented too heavily into Star Wars Galaxy. SW is fairy tale world, there's Good and there's Bad. Of course there are many shades of grey too (K2 brought these things upfront nicely), but when someone starts to claim and prove that there isn't "evil" in Star Wars Galaxy either... It goes against the core parts of world of SW as well as against words and intentions of its creator, Lucas. That, Mus?, was awesome. especially your "perverted use of Force" reasoning should finally make dark jedi (we're misunderstood!) fanboys to be silent GL never bothered to give that fine reasoning why sith were evil. Great job and should finally answer question of this topic.
