Thuryl - Stug ... Stug - Thuryl ... Such a dilema, I really have no preference one way or another between them. Each has their own good qualities. My candidate urges me to vote for Stug and he does love Redwall... but Thuryl is very thought provoking and ever helpful. Ah well, for the fun of the race I will change my vote to Stughalf. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

Aww, come on. Don't tempt him. He might just test that theory... and then I'd be sad. Though I'm still trying to discern the difference between Kel becoming a candidate and TM becoming a candidate. Neither one had any expectation/desire/hope to win. So they both stuck their noses in where they didn't belong. Except that TM probably always intended on giving his votes to Alec... and maybe Kel always intended to give them to someone else. My guess is that we're missing some crutial pre-election dialogue between the three of them where Alec's intentions to better the community were fleshed out. I could see why Alec and TM would be so angry if Kel had participated in pre-election dialogue elsewhere with them. *feels tempted to check at Desp* [ Sunday, July 17, 2005 04:52: Message edited by: Jewels of the Forest ] -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

["If there is no god then all is in vein, oblivion awaits us all, and there is no point to doing anything that is contrary to ones desires." I can't begin to argue this point, since I've never experienced such despair. Nevertheless, believing in god is superfluous.] That is because you are not an average human being. [If there is no god, then belief is superfluous.] I agree, except as a crutch for a weaker mind to tell themselves they do have something to live for. [If there is a god, then its nature is still unknown- is it benign, compassionate, or irate? How can its nature be perceived? It's a shot in the dark to the extreme, and the idea of hedging one's bets on one deity so vehemently under such odds seems utterly absurd.] I've made an informed decision and increase my knowledge whenever I have the chance. Seeking to know the truth about God, imho is even more important then thinking you've found Him. [On the other hand, if you're merely arguing for the belief as an opiate of the masses, well... Clearly, you can have beliefs that cover the gamut. I can't well vouch for all faith being bad, and the abrahamic belief systems alone could be much worse. (I'm not much of a scholar on any eastern religions, but they also appear to be "good" in many ways.) My problem is that modern belief has been conflated with platanistic nonsense that tosses scientific observation out of the window.] I have already expressed my own 'scientific observation' of the nature of God. I have proven it to myself, though I cannot prove it to others. [ Divine power does not power automobiles. (The fact that it alone also does not empower factories and firearms results in the "godless" world you so describe, but that's neither here nor there.)] What made gasoline? What made crude oil? In my sight, nothing could have been acomplished without the forethought that God took. The probability that everything was created by mere random chance seems much more absurd to me then trying to find the real God. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

You can make the community suck less without being a mod. If Alec wants a shot at making the community suck less while a mod, then Alec should start by making the community suck less with his everyday posts. The only blood-feud I see is the offense that Alec has taken by not recieving any of Kel's votes. Should the other three take like minded offense that TM gave Alec all of his? Or do you take similar offense that I gave you none in my own vote? Edit: Of course you had to post just minutes before me. I only have one more thing to add, Alec. For that which you claim to cling to, WWJD? I suggest for you to do likewise. And for pity's sake, stop being so childish. You don't win the popularity contest(which may or may not even have a prise at the end) so you stomp your feet, cross your arms, and say 'Then I'm not playing anymore'. You are above that, I know you are.

1=2 is simply a wrong opinion, but it deals with fact, not personal preference. An opinion about what I like may be lousy but that would be another opinion. TM's scenarios are a nice break from the monotony, but after the break I'd rather go back to the monotony for a while. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

Hush, Kel... Nobody likes a tattle-tale. quote:Absolutely, if indeed there is no god and our higher thought and reasoning is sufficient. (I will argue as if there is no god though you know I believe there is.) Yet I do not believe our species has achieved a level of reasoning to adequately deal with the emotional stresses of there being no god. If there is no god then all is in vein, oblivion awaits us all, and there is no point to doing anything that is contrary to ones desires. Life is utterly meaningless. I would think this to be quite depressing for the average human being. Is it any wonder why 96% of Americans (I really wish I remembered the source) confess they do believe in a god of one form or another. God gives life purpose, a reason for being good, building character, and coveting integrity. A reason to live, even a reason to die. There is also the 'tool' factor. In the Republic of the United States, the voice of the people has, at least, some weight (though I sometimes wonder how much). Politically speaking, loyalties to a religion can be exploited... er, used to ones advantage. I don't think Bush would have won if Kerry's Catholic convictions hadn't been questioned. In a godless world, the fear of god can be used to reign in and control the masses. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

Sin is proud, independent rebellion against God in either an active or passive way. If there is no God, there is no sin, only law and instinct. The question assumes that God exsists. If God exsists, I believe that holy living can be achieved through sanctification of the Spirit if earnestly sought. That is, an individual cannot suppress their own sin but can petition God to suppress their desire to sin for them. Few who are famous have been granted this state. Mother Teresa was one, I believe Billy Grahm to be another. If God does not exsist, then there is no 'original sin' only instinct, which surely can be bypassed by higher thought and reasoning. It is only a matter of character and ingetrity. Integrity is doing what is 'right/good' when no one is looking. You are what you do in secret. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

*Thinks* In order of what I'd do with it... Pay the government ~1/3rd for income taxes, probably more since the goverment takes more percentage when you earn more. I will guestimate 600 million left. Pay off all my debt. Pay off all my parents' debt. Choose 100 charities to give 1 million each to. Give to my church any additional they need to complete their plan to build a larger sanctuary. Let's see... I still have ~495 million... Set aside $10 million in savings and alot myself a 'salry' of $60,000/year to cover all general living expenses. (the extra would be for unexpected medical expenses) Set aside $2 million to pay for any future educational needs of my children. Use $2 million to build my dream house. And with the rest I'd buy up as many business and hotels in Wisconsin Dells as I could, building up a residual income without actually having to work, continually reinvesting the profits into more businesses and real estate and most likely becoming a full fledged billionaire again before I breathe my last. The House on the Rock will be mine! Capitalism is a beautiful thing. ... And I'd hire a PI to track down TM so I can send him lots and lots of cards and well wishes and smother him with more love. Maybe bribe... er, invite him to come race on my gocart tracks. :) -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

I don't think he was talking to you, Ben. But perhaps Grim Demise's signature has a bit to do with his post, seeing as he registered over a year ago and only has 6 posts. He's saying he's back too without starting a new topic. I'd say he was being considerate. PS. Welcome back Grim.
