I think Brahman is close to my idea of God. I do believe in Hell, and in Satan, however; I believe that God and Satan are both all-powerful, and are basically fighting each other for control; God is the lord of order, of light, of general goodness, and Satan is the lord of chaos, darkness, and evil, in general. I also believe in a higher being, highest, you might say, whom I refer to as the Creator; he/she/it (doesn't matter) is omniscient and omnipresent, but is also neutral in this struggle. He may have some purpose, I don't know, but I think of all divine purposes as belonging to God or Satan. These two entities are... aspects, or divisions, of the Creator, and none of these are material. They exist on another plane, the "fifth dimension", as I call it. While they have no physical substance, they can control anything in our three-dimensional universe.

All or most Christian beliefs fit into this idea, which is one of the reasons I call myself Christian; Jesus was a man who was controlled directly by God, rather than indirectly as most humans usually are. Miracles are acts of God done through humans, generally; acts of Satan are also done through humans, whether they are willing or not.

We all have souls, which are basically little bits of the Creator; these, not our physical bodies, are what go to Heaven or Hell. These two fates would be states of mind, except that a mind sort of requires a body. So they're states of... existance, I guess you'd say. Once in Heaven, you are in total bliss, and would not want it otherwise. Hell is total agony, and no one wants to be in Hell, especially not if they're there. But if a soul in Hell repents, if they wish they could undo their evil deeds in the physical world and not only because they want to get out of Hell, then they will go to Heaven; in the end, I think, everyone will be in Heaven, Satan will pass out of existance, and everything will be good. That last belief is mainly caused by my optimism, I admit, but... if I can't prove it wrong, you know...

You know, most anti-mac Mac ads are funny, and that's the only good thing about them. This one kind of lacked that aspect. What does that leave? Total bullsh*t. Oh well.

Christian, mainly because of my upbringing. Otherwise I don't know what I'd call myself... probably just "religious". I think most Christians are a bit too obsessed with the Bible and with Jesus, God's human form, and not with God himself.

I believe in the afterlife, yes; heaven or hell, depending mainly upon actions and motives, and also partially upon belief in God or lack thereof. For instance, a moral, well-behaved atheist would be able to get into heaven, while a Christian terrorist and adulterer would not. Also, an active Satanist who loves little kitties and saves the trees will just have to get used to fire and brimstone.

I also believe in forgiveness and mercy, which is one of the reasons I call myself Christian. And, as an optimist, I believe that even those who end up in hell can be forgiven and go to heaven. But still, that should not be used as a justification for sin.

EDIT: Even though I think it's ridiculous to have to say so, that's all just my opinion. Somehow, putting the phrase "It's my opinion that..." before any belief seems to make it less fundamental. Whatever.

I know there is a problem with racism, but I still don't see how setting blacks apart is going to fix that. I mean, wouldn't we want to make them equal, not better? That will only cause resentment.

I still think it's poverty, not race. If Europeans were mainly black and Africans were mainly white, but everything else stayed the same, I think Africa would have the same problem as it does now.

Classical. WMHT. Motrax, I'll have the NYSSMA duet stuff on Monday or Tuesday; sorry I couldn't get it to you sooner. Also, at this point I'm leaning towards Moonlight... if you have any better suggestions, let me know soon.

Prem: Make that are we the only people who actually buy the music we like. I always buy CDs, even when I have a friend who could copy them for me.

Johnny, you wouldn't feel that way if you were in the music industry and were losing money because of people just like you.

Listening to classical, WMHT, again.

Listening to nothing.

I agree with Stughalf on the musical tastes and stuff... =]

I was asking about Seabiscuit because part of it is filmed in my town, for the very good reason that part of it is set in my town. I just watched it today and it's pretty good, Tumbleweed... I mean, it's got Tobey in it, yes, but the horse isn't bad. Also, about cows... I don't know, I guess that's a metter of personal preference. Would you rather be named Cat's Lucky Seven and have 'Beauty', 'Babe', etc. as nicknames? Or would you rather something like Bluebell or Buttercup, with nicknames like 'Hamburger' and 'Fatass'?

Have one of them quit their job or get one with a salary of $10,000 less than what they have nowa, if it would really help... espcially if they know someone at their work right now who can get them their job back as soon as you have the bonus.

Just in case people don't understand, I'm kidding.

Djur, that university must be different - a friend of mine told me that at his college, race is pretty much secondary only to SAT scores. He might exaggerate, but not that much...

And once again, people should not be picked by race. Maybe if too few poor people are being selected, then the bonus could be increased for that.

Alec, I'm not ignoring the problem, I just don't see how a system of inequality solves the problem of inequality. And I find it ironic that you end your rant by calling me a ranting idiot. IMAGE(Happy Martin Luther King, Jr Day! (3)_files/tongue.gif)
