as the general rule i don't scare easily and i am always looking into the unknown corners.
i like the creepy and spooky.
spiders and snakes dont freak me out either.
I have a horrible fear of peanutbutter flavored ice cream and mint skittles.
and a fear of unwashed, schizophrenic, NRA members suffering from caffeine withdrawal.
and talking cats.
and 12 year old girls who dress like something in cosmopolitan.
and sauerkraut and banana sandwiches. terrible, terrible fear of those.

hi...i was wondering why jw's think smurfs are evil?
also what is a dub?
knighthawk: that article is ridiculous! I can not believe that I used to read such stuff and not question it! how do they leap from a latin etymology to anything being described as "beastly" as unchristian to "history tells us that cats were probably given as presents in biblical times at parties" is beyond me. what a load of rubbish.
in regards to the defenders: yeah, I pretty much have a complete run of the original series. the secret defenders comic had great potential but it failed miserably - to many bad writers. the latest defenders series I only got the first four issues of before I got bored with it. I tried the order, but all I could think of was "oh look, marvel is trying to do the authority". I never did follow it all the way through.

okay, since i've been attending a new church, i've had the opportunity to sit on three committees.
i've gone hog wild and volunteered for everything trying to make up for all the years that i couldn't do anything as a female in the kh.
anyway, last night i stirred the shit in one of the meetings by voicing my opinion on how something in the church is run.
I agree with coolbreeze. I always sort of wondered that about paul. any man not "interested" in women are suspect to me. not that I'm a homophobe mind you - in fact, ANY man, straight or gay, who ISN'T interested in sex at all are HIGHLY suspect to me. (for some reason some friends of my wife are always ending up with guys who "aren't into sex"; WTF is that about?)
:p

i was in town today and spoke to a woman i knew and to my surprise she told me she was a satanist member,i then discussed things dealing with god,spirit forces,occult etc.this then made me think if theres no god where do these active forces come from,is there really a realm of spirit creatures called demons,she then told me that these forces are very powerful and can harm those who interfere with there operations,also she said they have a vast amount of knowledge at their disposal and can give her information which couldnt be known otherwise.
but does this prove theres a creator ?

libra: where did you hear of and when did you gain this "knowledge of astral forms"?

i remmember the idea that god has been around forever, to be a bit confusing as a witness.. does this really make sense?.
heres two reason why it doesn't.. 1.what was the first thing god did?.
so either it wasn't the first thing , if there is not a first thing god did see point 2,or god had a begining.
pubsinger: love the blob story. simplifies a complicated idea. and still has me thinking about it.

hey, who cares about uncomfortable, I thought valkryie was hot when I was 12. funnyyou two should be discussing the defenders - I recently completed my collection of defenders by buying some back issues on ebay. I was reading some the other day. you know, I had heard such great things about the early issues of the defenders and so far (I have read issues 1 thru 17 so far) I dont' see the appeal. dr strange was always treating the hulk like a "lil bitch" and they fought some not so interesting characters. oh well. maybe things get better once I get to the issues gerber wrote.

jst2laws: interesting comments. IMO if the bible was more a guide to coping with our own existence rather than gods then it still fails as it has been used to justify atrocious behavior throughout history (i.e. the crusades, indulgences of the catholic church, slavery, separatist groups, etc) as well as and as much as good behaviour.
I like the idea someone put forth as eternity being the space about which time can travel in; I never thought of that in that way before.
nice thread here - serious without anyone fighting. I like it.

I usually vacation in hell from early october until march. balmy climate, friendly natives. the nightlife is especially lively. I wouldn't recommend the "dante tour" though - it's just a tourist trap. it takes a while for the natives to warm to most tourists - most of them see them as honing in on their land. they generate a lot of bad PR to keep people away. there is a little place on the west side of Dis that makes the best margaritas. tell 'em prince william, cousin of charon, nephew to baalazar sent you. they will treat you right.

zenpunk: I guess this is because in genesis it says: "Let us make man in our image". if god is completely unrelated to man or beyond his comprehension, than most of the bible is useless and god should be studied in more of an abstract way, perhaps as some eastern beliefs dictate.

I was disturbed by this question also. I mean, if god was perfect, as I understood it, there was no need for him/her/it to do ANYTHING. I was always under the impression that perfection doesnt suffer boredom or a lack of anything. perfection needs nothing. so if this was the case, why did god create anything? the elders tried to tell me that he created us all out of love. my mental rebuttal was always, if he loved us, why didn't he create us exactly like him then? why make us lower than him? that always seemed arrogant to me, but I never voiced this opinion to anyone. I think this is one reason that several years ago I became interested in the gnostic scriptures of the nag hammadi library because quite a few of those scriptures voice a somewhat similar opinion.
if you really think about it, if god had always been, then he must have either done nothing (meditated like buddha I guess) until he suddenly decided to make a bunch of monkeys on a little planet or he was busy creating other things that we have no idea about and then later turned his attentions to our existence. both concepts are equally bothersome to me because both options open up a near endless range of questions about god's "mental state".
