I have more than faith I have knowledge. I know God like you know something I'll never know.

Oh for crying out loud... :)
(bc dammit, the PVN is for bitter infighting and knee jerk reactions and the usual discussion of typography/CSS do's and don't's.. I will not allow it to turn it on a giant kumbaya meetup!! There is no hugging in the pVN..you hear me no hugging!!)

sorry to break it to you gramme, but at the end of the day, that is exactly what it is. Gathering with a few hundred like minded individuals daily or weekly doesnt change that it is your reality. and only yours. and that's good. just wish people would keep it to themselves

All of you guys have done it gramme. That is where my attitude comes from. Im sure that you don't intend to do it, but I am pretty sure flagellum does.

If reality is subjective, then kill me now. No way in hell do I want to live in a world of my own contrivance, where there is no truth but that which matters to me.

(Feb 28 07, 12:28)See, interesting. Is that what gives you the spiritual shivers? For me on the other hand I relish a universe free and open enough where I can, for my brief lifetime, find and live my own truth within it's confines. The very idea that someone or something, beyond mere time/spatial boundaries and cultural/social contexts inhibits me from finding a unique meaning in it all scares the bejesus out of me.

(Feb 28 07, 12:35)then you fear God but it's not going to inhibit anything, it's a grand expanse of meaning and divinty, it'll welcome you and scare the fuck out of you all at once.

True Biblical Christianity is nothing like the caricature that blueOne wants to believe, of course. Rather, it's a relationship entered thru faith in the redemptive work of Christ. A relationship which motivates us to love and serve others. You know, like the millions of Christians across the globe giving their time and their lives to help others.
Silly Christians.

(Feb 28 07, 11:28)athiests have superior morals.
they rape, muder, etc, at far lower statistical rates...
and again, as a whole, the more religious a democracy is, the more that nation rapes, murders and aborts.

funny when backed into a corner, all the fundie argumants devolve into touchy feely bullshit like flagellum posted above.
weak.

if i've learned anything from design, it's that boundaries do not inhibit. look at grid systems.
this is still a design site, right?

this is people fucking around at work...

lol, guilty as charged.

What is "reality", Mimio? Purely material processes?
Bonseff: faith in Christ is a faith based in facts. There are historical events which give evidence to support this faith. It's not a blind leap into some nebulous idea.

nah ender, it is about talking about britney's shaved growler and what you had for lunch, american idol and the new season of 24.

you can't blame religion for sin. blame people for sin and sin for crime. all you have to do is consider the zillions of power mongering assholes who have started war after war and caused mass destruction in the past 2 centuries and you'll see a little sensibility. why were the jews raped as people ? because they were religious? because they raped because they were jews? why were two nukes set off in japan? god ?
make sense and consider humanity

(Feb 28 07, 12:43)wow, i missed that...
gird sytems do inhibit.
ever wondey why all egyptian reliefs, covering thousands of years look so much the same?
a rigid grid system was imposed by the ultra conservative class.
keep things safe, and the same...

lemming: we've been over this ad nauseum...
- mrdobolina0
moneycide, religion has and still is used as a huge force in making people do things that they wouldn't normally do.
You couldn't get me to give up ribs for anything.
- BonSeff0
fine, prove to me there is a heaven.
facts like noah's ark? water into wine? Breaking out the clone tool on bread and fished? save it.

"thousands" was a stretch, but you get the idea.
absolute truths can, and do inhibit innovation.

* The End of Racism
D'Souza's key work is the 700-page The End of Racism, a book that managed to offend even conservative blacks with its declaration that black culture is pathologically inferior to white culture and that "the criminal and irresponsible black underclass represents a revival of barbarism in the midst of Western civilization" (p. 527). D'Souza's history of southern segregation characterized it as merely misguided paternalism, "based on the code of the Christian and the gentleman" and intended to protect blacks: "Segregation was intended to assure that blacks, like the handicapped, would be insulated from the radical racists and - in the paternalist view - permitted to perform to the capacity of their arrested development" (p. 179). The book's declarations were so extreme that two prominent African-American conservatives, Robert Woodson, Sr. and Glenn Loury, renounced their affiliation with the American Enterprise Institute to protest AEI's sponsorship of the book. According to Loury, AEI marketed The End of Racism extensively in business circles, and "Republican staffers on Capitol Hill are said to have eagerly anticipated how the book might move the affirmative action debate in the 'right direction.'"
D'Souza is a racist piece of shit.
