I hate my Syntax class. Hate. Deep and utter loathing. It is eating all of my time... that is, all the time I don't spend working on Hebrew (which I started typing at first by accident because I'm supposed to be doing homework...) I'm told this is a weed-out class, though. So if I can make it throug...

I used to consider the notion of soul-mates at times. But lately I find that the idea of soul-mates is probably over-rated. I don't know if they exist or not, for they very well might. But rather, I think that it isn't important whether or not they exist. I do suspect, though, that if one does belie...

I'm largely okay. Just feeling a bit ill, which is probably due to the stress of class and the like...

Rei

May I please just have a fortnight off before I have to finish my classes and finals and paper? I would really, really appreciate it... time to actually sleep as well as do homework would be lovely...

Rei

hive_king, I forgot to add one other item to that list. Because of Original Sin, the world has lost its deep relationship with Good through the seperation of God and Man. Therefore there will be things in this world which will not fully reflect that which is Good and even be devoid of it, such as th...

First, I'll reply to your second point with a few marked edits to something I said earlier: As for why we are all[, even infants,] guilty of [sin], I tend to see Adam and Eve's action as a rebellion against God (which is, in essence, what sin is -- a turning against God). And as we are all children ...

My Latin prof:

"Scary? You think this class is scary? You should see some of my collegues! They've got blood dripping off their fangs!"

Something I don't understand: what is the purpose of speaking in tounges? I mean, in the bible when people spoke in tounges it was a practical language they could use to spread the Word. When people nowadays speak in tounges, as far as I know it isn't a language anyone aroung them knows. What's the...

And you (or anybody else) still didnâ€™t answer my BIG question: Why should I want â€œreconciliationâ€ with â€œGodâ€? And let me add a few little ones: 1) Do I need it? 2) Can I be a good person without it? 3) Am I sinning for asking such questions? A. Okay, my apologies for not replying sooner. ...

I'm also a fan of advancing the ages of the names.

Dear you,

Please answer your phone. I'd like very much to see you in this unexpected break, and possibly get a spoon so that I can eat my dinner.

Dear you,

That was a very cute e-mail.

love,

Dear Bob, Syntax has killed my brain. I can't seem to be able to do any other homework tonight and I can't get anywhere on it, either. I want to have a day to just let my brain rot and not even have anything that I should be doing. Just nothing. Only me and whatever else I feel like doing. Which, ri...

I've never heard of the show, but that is a great tag-line.

Rei

Dear Bob,

I really need to learn how to make friends and how to see them outside of class.

I have a certain fondness for owning certain banned books... primarily the ones worth owning.

Rei

I'm pretty certain he does... Mooslet, Superstation, and Squoosh.

I have no clue when the municipal elections were, are, or are yet to come here. However, if I were in my more familiar riding and I knew for there, I would have voted.

Rei

I think one of my favourite differences that the book has is the Zoo of Death and Humperdink's emphasis upon hunting. I love how elaborate it is and how it demonstrates his character. I mean, he is so incredibly awful! Yet he is so calculated that you almost admire him in his cruelty. And that botto...

Old enough to have three adorable kids.

I'm also a fan of those two from Cawarra. Another winery I quite enjoy is Tinhorn Creek, also Hester Creek (both are in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia). In particular, Tinhorn Creek does a Trebbiano I quite enjoy (white, and I'm not sure of the sweetness). As well, both wineries do a very g...

Dear Bob,

I feel miserable. And all I want is a cup of tea, but I can't find a kettle anywhere.

[Edit] Thanks to some lovely person with a coffee pot, there is now Earl Grey with a drop of screech in my life.

I regularly read Megatokyo, Order of the Stick, and xkcd. And often enough I end up seeing Unshelved, although I have yet to start avidly seeking it out.

Rei

The real question is, are you old enough to be Ela's mother?

Rei

I'm 21 and entirely content there.

Rei

What if the guy wants to keep the child, as opposed to forcing her to keep the child? It seems to me that if he is willing to keep the child and she does not have to pay child support he will be caring for the child for 18 years as opposed to her 9 months, albeit definitely in a less personal way.

Assuming there is no God, I would have to say that the concept of God was developed to explain what people could not explain. This world exists. Why? Perhaps the Tanakh is just a very old novel. And it has continued because someone at some point mistook it for a holy book and the sheer inertia of it...

Rei

Okay, eriador. Pray, for everyone's sanity, pay attention. First, in defence of EL's analogy. It was an analogy and nothing more. You calling her brainwashed would be like her calling you hell-bound (note the subjunctive). She did not say you are hell-bound. You did, by implication, call everyone wh...

Yes, I know we already have a quotes thread. This one, however, is dedicated to all those wonderful (or not so wonderful) professors of yours who have something worth repeating, which is often amusing. That said, here is one from today. My Mediaeval Bible Professor: "Jesus was both 100% divine ...

This second half Iâ€™m going to do a tad out of order. I must say that the concept of â€œsinâ€ and â€œconfessionâ€ is quite clever, because by confessing, there is at least a way of keeping track of the â€œsinnerâ€™s sinsâ€, even if the priest is bound to an oath of silence and cannot make them p...

Rei

Okay, I said I would address these, so I'm going to try and do so more thoroughly now. And I think in two installments. in answer to the definition of perfection, perfection is, in this case, without sin. So anything that is made pure in that way is, by definition, perfect. This does not mean Adam a...

Rei

I would have to say fertilization, because at that point all the elements neccesary for life are present; every external element needed is there. So at that point, nobody can decide if she will have a child or not (pill and whatnot aside).

Rei

Awww! That's so cute!

Rei

I am apt to think that the morning-after pill, as opposed to contraception taken beforehand, is wrong because I view life as beginning at conception. Something done to prevent conception can not be taking a life because its purpose is to prevent the life from ever starting. However, something done a...

Okay, I'll try to reply to some of this. First, regarding representatives. I wasn't thinking so much people who are going out to represent God. Rather I was thinking people who claim to follow Him, namely Christians or Moslems or Jews or whatever religious group you care to look at. Part of being re...
