(DISCLAIMER: I do not capitalize the word hell except when used at the beginning of a sentence) Hey all, just wondering what your concept of hell is. The idea of hell is very old indeed and over time many religions and cultures have developed their own opinions regarding hell. To me, hell is not so ...

I came here expecting to read something about hell. Where is it or are you just using words to get people to read your posts? I have to go, but when I come back, I have some actual hell related questions/commentary. I may just start a new thread though, this one was derailed before it began.

No, we just think we do. We think we can explain things but in all honesty, neither science nor religion can CONCRETELY explain our existence. All we have are guesses.

The Polemarch in EG is from Russia. After the League War, said Polemarch steps down. At the beginning of Shadow of the Hegemon, it is indicated that the new Polemarch is Admiral Chamrajnagar, an Indian.

Alternatively, one could argue humans are the only animals with sufficiently sophisticated brains to come up with the tools to invent religion. Humans only came up with religious theories to explain our existence. We cannot know how or why this world was created so we came up with a system of belie...

There is a Blackbox for Windows. I installed and ran it the other day and it actually took up more memory than Windows Explorer. My virtual memory was completely used up by the application that is supposed to be low memory. I couldn't switch back to Explorer after Blackbox closed and ended up having...

I have been thinking about switching my window manager to BlackBox. This will undoubtedly save me some space on my already cramped computer but it will also allow me to remove a lot of the bulk on the desktop. I do not like the current Windows XP configuration. (too much blue and green and orange) I...

Thanks. I actually just found it in a keyword search on IMDB but thanks so much anyway, this has been bugging me for a few weeks now. Well, now I can find it and buy it. I loved that movie.

wigginboy

Hey everyone. A small lapse in my memory has been bugging me lately and I wanted to see if anyone could help me with it. I am 20 now, so this wasn't too long ago. As a kid, about 10ish, I used to see a movie on the Family Channel about a flying saucer and a kid. It has been quite a long time so the ...

Having read everyone's posts since the last time I browsed this thread, I noted some interesting information. Having also just read the print compilation of IGMS, I came across an EG related story. If anyone has read A Young Man With Prospects, you'll know what I'm talking about, if not: SPOILERS An...

Finally, after weeks of fighting with my computer (a POS) I give you pictures of Ainsley. There are only five, but they span the two weeks and three days since her birth. Enjoy: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/kirkybabes/ainsley1.jpg Ainsley's First internet photo. Also the first of her smili...

Hey all. For those interested, my wife and I had our baby this morning at 734 AM mountain time. Her name is Ainsley O'Riley Krahn. She is 7 pounds 5 ounces and 20 inches long. She is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. She is our world now. Pictures to follow.

So Lefty, by your logic, if time and space do not affect an object that Jane moves, it is not really moving at all. It is much like the transporters in Star Trek, except that they work by breaking materials down into constituent particles and Jane works by moving the objects herself. But if the obje...

So You've read everything in the Enderverse from EG to Children, from ES to Giant. You've read A War of Gifts. You're wondering what to read next from this author. Well, there are two directions you can go. OSC is a very prolific author and he works within a few different genres. If you want to keep...

But those who aren't Christians tend not to recognize the bible as any sort of authority, so why would they care what it says? I resent this somewhat. While I do not choose to make a huge deal about it, I just want to say that I am by no means a Christian. I do not follow the New Testament as scrip...

This is nothing new. These guys have been doing this for years and they aren't stopping soon. Hell they were just up here in Canada planning to picket the funeral of Tim McLean, who was killed on a Greyhound recently. They were also set to visit my hometown of Red Deer to picket The Laramie Project,...

I wonder how the religions of the world would react if governments (which must decide to accept this, of course) were to create their own unions for people, and the church kept their silly 'marriage' word... Say, you can go to your government and get, oh, random word, 'coupled', whether you were ga...

**minor spoilers for Worthing Saga** While Worthing Saga could be interesting, it is way too long, for one, and as well, it covers too much history to be condensed effectively into screen format. Perhaps that's true for the Worthing Chronicle, but I think many of the short stories that make up the r...

If any of OSC's other books were made into movies, which one or ones would you want to see on the screen? Which ones would work best and which ones would not be butchered by filmmakers like so many are nowadays? I for one would love to see Trason on the big screen. I think it could work very well if...

I would either play Peter or one of the older boys in the Jeesh if it were an EG movie. If the pre-production keeps plodding along like it is, I could probably be old enough to play Graff, that is if I gained some weight (not going to happen, been trying for years). If it were any of the Shadow book...

wigginboy

Well,the way pre-production is going for this movie, by the time it is made, I would be old enough to play Colonel Graff. If I could gain a little weight between now and then (doubtful, I've been trying to gain weight for years) I could make a very convincing Graff. If however, it is sooner rather t...

For all you Johnny Depp fans out there, apparently Depp has been approached to play the Riddler in a new movie. As well, whoever suggested Philip Seymour Hoffman as Penguin could get their wish, as he has reportedly also been approached for a possible role as said character. Read all about it. (edit...

Card wrote First Meetings, where the short stories appear, after he wrote the bulk of the Shadow Series. Shadow Puppets was published in 2002 while First Meetings was in 2003. The characters of John Paul and Theresa Wiggin were only first introduced in Shadow Puppets so I imagine the short stories i...

My name, in its most basic First Name/Last Name format is Tristan Krahn. Having to spell these names out for people is frustrating, but try having my three middle names! Palmer William and Henry, not hard to spell but hard for people to take over the phone. And also hard to write in the little squar...

I think the Riddler could also be a good character, without Jim Carrey this time and with the addition of the original Riddler sidekick, Harley Quinn Harley Quinn is Joker's sidekick. You caught me. Got that one mixed up. A combination of no sleep and more no sleep. Thanks for catching it. PS, Jaso...

So, having read all the responses, I would have to say I echo most people. I thought it was the nest comic book flick in a long time and it mirrored the original Batman amazingly. i found the movie very predictable though. i don't know if they made the movie to BE predictable, but i knew pretty much...

I can tell you for sure that it is a moose. I am a Canadian who sees one of those at least three times in a sumer npo matter where I am, plus I hunt, so I see those a lot more than other people. It is definitely a cow moose. (cow meaning female).

After I finished Worthing Saga, like it wasn't really complete. Maybe that's because it is just a collection of stories and we only see small glimpses of a long history. I did enjoy the characters and the writing style of each of the sections flowed well with each of the others. the parallels to Mor...

Was John of Patmos trying to play a math joke on us? or do these numbers have divine significance? No. It's a coincidence. This type of nonsense has been thoroughly discredited. 144 is a square. Multiply it by 1000 and of course you get a lot of weird factors and such. By the way, the link provided...

just a quick question, well, more of an observation than anything. God is shown speaking to people of all kinds in the old testament. He confers titles and ranks upon people, he gives commands and commandments with his own voice. In the new testament, which begins with Joseph's dream of an angel spe...

My religious beliefs can be summed up in this way: I have no religion. Now, before people ask why I don't believe in God or any sort of God figure, I will say that I do indeed believe in God, I just believe without any sort of religious affiliation. In my opinion, belief in God does not require the ...

I just thought it was interesting how the numbers are all connected.
