I put up a tree even though I'm Jewish, since my dad's side of the family is Christian. But I'm more excited for the 20th, when James turns six. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Vahnatai Did Do It desperance.net - We're Everywhere The Arena - God Will Sort The Dead ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

James is going to be six. He is having a dinosaur themed party with a triceratops on his cake, and no balloons. -------------------- KazeArctica: Oh yes. KazeArctica: Oh YES Posts: 93 | Registered: Sunday, September 30 2001 22:00 |

Christmas day isn't as amazing to me since I just enjoy the Christmas atmosphere that is present the days before it. Let's see, I'll Wake up late.Eat a nice breakfast.Watch TV and play on the computer.Eat simple lunch.Go out somewhere and have some fun while fitting in some exercise.Come back and open any sort of presents. (I rarely get any of course. Checks beforehand are the most common present.)Have a great dinner.Take a long, nice shower.Relax and do whatever.Sleep. -------------------- How do signature's work? -Keep Posts: 1415 | Registered: Thursday, March 27 2003 08:00 |

No balloons? Reality, whatever you said, tone it down (judging from the responses...) TM, not cool sir. Alec, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Quakerism involve a belief in God? And if so, why have you argued against his existance so often? -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

I've never known Alec to take an atheist stance. As long as I've known him, he's been a Christian to some degree. And I am a daoist discordian. Posts: 999 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

I have argued against your rigorous interpretation of His extance, perhaps. If this makes me an atheist, so be it. -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 | Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00 |

And in order to throw some gasoline on the bonfire... Anyone here heard of "Anslem's Godproof" (at least that's what I think it's called)? "The idea of God is Him being the most perfect creature and existance ever. This is true. An existing being is always more perfect than a non-existing one. Therefore, God must exist. Otherwise any small bug would stand above Him and be more perfect than Him." This idea obviously has many flaws (read: you don't have to point them out), but it's still interesting. For your amusement only! Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

There is no god. Period. Christ existed, and was a wise man, but he was the son of no god. But that's my belief. (No, I'm not going to hell. You're all sending me to hell, but yer doin' that anyway...) That said, I'm still happy to have his birthday off... Too bad this forum does'nt have a "devil" graemlin. -------------------- And that was exactly the point of itself. Takes advantage of the easily offended.

There are no really good proofs of God's existence. All the ones there are were fatally flawed because they worked off the standpoint that everybody believed in God anyway. There can, in my opinion, be no such proof. Either you have faith or you don't. You might just be able to disprove God's existence, except the omnipotence thing makes that difficult, but short of the second coming, you can't prove he exists. -------------------- Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned I'll tell you my story, man Though I wish I'd never been born I'm loose at the seams, I've broken my dreams And my hand it shakes the pen Come on, come on now baby, Let the good times roll again Posts: 961 | Registered: Thursday, June 12 2003 07:00 |

Um, Anslem's makes no sense at all. If God doesn't exist, it's pointless to assign attributes (such as complete perfection) to him. Either that or you could just laugh at the initial statement as "if God exists, God exists". --- Anyway, trying to prove / disprove God's existence is more or less a waste of time. It's a matter of personal faith. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

It also assumes things not everyone will agree with. In my experience, things are always more perfect before they exist. -------------------- I believe there are 15 747 724 136 275 002 577 105 653 961 181 555 468 044 717 914 527 116 709 366 231 425 076 185 631 031 296 protons in the universe, and the same number of electrons. -- Sir Arthur Eddington Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Alec: Rigorous interpretation? He exists or He doesn't, really... Jonnie: Considering that you dubbed Ironweed "Mercenary II", I really don't care what you think of me. Stughalf: This is the second time I've asked, so the answer is twice, if the question is actually answered the second time. Everyone else: I'm talking about AIM too, not just Spiderweb.

Creationism, evolution, Big Bang, mixes, something completely different... well? Saunders: Understandable... hm... maybe he should have those plastic helium balloons, and cover them with duct tape. Then they're virtually unpoppable, and so pretty... and high voices are always fun... -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

I certainly feel that there is a higher presence, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that there is a God. There are no real proofs to God's existence since someone will always try to explain the supernatural, and in this world they usually find a pretty good explanation. Eventually, anyway. Well, we'll all find out once we die, I guess. Of course, I believe in the resonant consciousness of the afterlife... -------------------- How do signature's work? -Keep Posts: 1415 | Registered: Thursday, March 27 2003 08:00 |

I thought you didn't care. And, yes, I did dub him Mercenary II. That was because he was being annoying, just like you, but he's not even in this, so why you bring this up is beyond me. -------------------- Professor Frost gives me ideas.

Now he is! Hurrah! I don't think I'm like Mercenary in the least. Neither do I think you have the power to dub anyone to anything. Of you have a problem with this, so be it. Thank you!

Creationism, evolution, Big Bang, mixes, something completely different... well?Although I believe in evolution, I do think that the very first living being on Earth, probably some sort of primite marine prokaryote, was created and placed in the ocean by a supreme power. After this point evolution was allowed to take its course.
