I don't think you'll have to start over. Just backtrack a bit. Easiest would be the Crystal of Purity, probably. Go back south through the trog fort again, and west to the island in the middle of the round lake, and take the quest you find there. 11 days gone still gives you plenty of time, I think.

If you look back fifty years, you'll see that the biggest changes were things that hadn't been slightly thought of back then, and changes they did expect either didn't happen or progressed at a far slower rate. We don't have flying cars, but we do have the internet.

Based on these trends, any idea we have now of the technology of 50 years time will be completely, laughably wrong.

Yeah, the set of all infinite sets would be a member of itself, which isn't the sort of thing ZF likes.

R x W will be the same size as R at least for finite W, and probably also for a fair few infinite Ws.

Synergy: Smallpox is the one that vaccination completely wiped out apart from a few samples kept in labs. Any concerns about the vaccination not working are more along the lines of "It was so successful that we haven't had to use it for ages, so if some clowns decide that nuclear weapons aren't bad enough and manage to re-release it we don't know for sure whether the vaccine we have will work as there hasn't been a test case for decades"

For your second point, I'm not sure why you're so keen to choose the proven danger (Rubella is nasty, especially if you're pregnant) over the 'disputed' (ie repeatedly proven false but that hasn't made them shut up) dangers of vaccination.

It seems to me that it's a pretty strange coincidence that people stopped dying of smallpox shortly after those arrogant scientist-priests who don't really know anything about disease decided that it would be a good idea to go and inject nasty chemicals into everyone.

Jewels: Atheism is the only way to be happy. I know this because I have experienced it for myself. You just need to try it too (if you think you have in the past and you weren't massively happy, then you were not a real atheist).

Not convinced? Then why expect us to be convinced by the same argument coming from you?

Actually, we all deserve to be 'beat up'
What a wonderful view of humanity you have. Still, if that's how you feel, send me a plane ticket and I'll come and beat you up, as a special favour.

quote:
Ceremonial? The way I've always thought of it was this: 1-4 is how we relate to God, 5-10 is how we relate to those around us.
Exactly. 1-4 are ceremonial, about how you relate to God (like the other rules about sacrificing animals, and so on) [mostly ignored, unless from 10C]
5-10 are moral (like the other rules about witchcraft, and so on) [some followed, some ignored]
And there are a lot more rules about how you treat property, like "What To Do If Your Tent Gets Mildew" or "How Badly You Are Allowed To Beat Your Slaves" [some ignored, some brushed under the rug]

quote:

By Khoth:
quote:
3. And before you say, "Ah, but Paul said..." to point two, Paul also said that women shouldn't wear jewellery, and most christians seem happy to ignore that one.
Since I'm not writing this at home, I can't look up that passage with my handy-dandy concordances to put it in context. I can think of another passage: Paul once tells women of one church to avoid braiding their hair. Why? It was in vogue for the prostitutes at that time.

I'm sure you'll find other passages that "many Christians" don't obey. Don't fall prey to an Inductive Fallacy.
That response is pretty much exactly what I mean by
quote:
I don't believe that anyone gets their morality from the Bible (with the possible exception of Jack Chick). It's heavily filtered by selective reading and accumulated (highly mutable) tradition of dubious provenance. And I am very glad of that (the fewer Jack Chicks, the better).
Oh, and Paul's 'logic' there is of a form that always annoys me when people making rules come up with it: "There is a problem [prostitution], with a harmless side-effect [braided hair]. Therefore, we should ban the side-effect"

There is no difference between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament, only the way we relate to him has changed.
These days, he waits for people he doesn't like to die before he beats them up?

quote:
I read a book years ago about missinaries going out to the remote tribes of the amazon and bringing them the gospel and one of the cheifs that they visited had said, 'We've been worshiping him all along. We just didn't know his name.'
How do you know it's not you that's been worshipping his old god all along?

quote:
Originally written by whoever it was:

Moral law (ten commandments) has to be kept but we don't have to follow the ceremonial law because Jesus zebnuched them
1. Of the ten commandments, the first four are ceremonial, not moral.
2. There's no mention in the ten commandments of things like homosexuality, which most christians are against.
3. And before you say, "Ah, but Paul said..." to point two, Paul also said that women shouldn't wear jewellery, and most christians seem happy to ignore that one.

I don't believe that anyone gets their morality from the Bible (with the possible exception of Jack Chick). It's heavily filtered by selective reading and accumulated (highly mutable) tradition of dubious provenance. And I am very glad of that (the fewer Jack Chicks, the better).

I'm always amused when people say things like "Islam is an inherently violent religion. The Koran says {thing which is mild in comparison to much of the Bible}"

It's things like this that scare me. It's not just that they're trying to justify it, it's that their concerns are more about PR than about morality.
