I'm not even reading replies here, because I might get caught up and I don't have time. I just want to say I haven't dropped out. I have enjoyed it and do want to participate more. My grandmother has passed away. She was 90 years old and the last few years have been difficult on her. There was no on...

We do have similar tastes. I like all of those. I also like U2 (especially their latest album) and Sting, Paul Simon, Nora Jones, KT Tunstall, The Fray... I'm just throwing names out there. There are way more. Heck, I like some of what the Gorillaz put out too. But I've never really gone to concerts...

Steve, That it was my presumption of what God is was a given. But really, that is the only God I can debate because I've concluded (with all due respect to my theist colleagues), as you have, that most others are open to inconsistancy. No; but, then again, parents aren't all-knowing, or all-powerful...

Chicago and Boston Here is the really, really sad thing. Maybe I'm old. But I was just thinking about some songs of theirs the other day, and that was what popped in my head. But right now, I can't even get them to come to the fore front of my brain. I know it is in there somewhere. Right now, I can...

Have to chime in on the Dead Like Me. We found it in the middle of the second season, sadly. We bought the DVD.

We need an hysterically screaming, then fainting smiley.

That is ice cold awesome.

Ack! Lots of posts. But I think we're still down to Steve's question. What is the nature of God? If a relevant God exists, he will be good, all knowing (for all practical purposes), and all powerful (within the bounds of natural law). It is clear from the evidence of human experience as well as scri...

Dr. Mobius, I like that. I think that is a very apt analogy. The only problem is, if God doesn't exist then when we die we also cease to exist and will not know that we were right. The only way we could possibly know if we were right were if A) There is an afterlife, B) God existed, and C) we believ...

Rules, eh? I notice that until I treaded onto your familiar territory (and I thought about the reaction I would get) you haven't replied to anything of mind besides the "hi Amka, are you sure they're are other rational religious people out there? Because while my religious friends are rational,...

seamusz, We can't take existance as proof. I wish we could. It feels right and intuitive. But if we apply the scientific method here, we realize that we have no control. I said this in the other thread: "This world is exactly what it would be if there were a God, or if there weren't. We cannot ...

Well, it looks like I should move my post on the other thread about "How can we overcome our differences" here. Would that be overstepping my superforum bounds? Boothby, I think you have overstepped reason to say that God cannot be proved by the Scientific Method. I say that God could be p...

Steve, Well, it looks like we are getting off anyway and I would rather discuss how to come together in a world where we hold such different views. However, I couldn't let this one go. Those prayer tests made some assumptions that are not necessarily correct, and they left out some basic assumptions...

I find that if I realize that it is a 2D picture, then I could switch but not so much at will.

Another interesting thing is our first impression. Does it mean anything or have any correlation?

Actually, when I posted that yesterday, I hit a couple of sites where we might be able to make the shirts. Vovka also said he has a friend who does them on the side. So the possibility is there.

But first things first: I want to get the website up and running.

I think so. Lets try it for 24 hours and see what happens.

Do I represent the majority of religious thought? For people who take their religion seriously enough that they study it for themselves, yes. This is where my definition of pseudoreligious comes in. Many people don't seem to want to get to the truth, but they want to gain comfort, a community. Relig...

Diamond studded butterflies!

That is really fantastic! I'm very excited for you.

You'll notice we have an authentication code as well as a visual authentication. Sorry about that, and thank the spammers. Anyway, if you are a fan of Ender's Game then the fill in the blank answer is very easy. Once upon a time, we had T-shirts that had the phrase on it. Ender said it in the battle...

Hrm... I don't think the Bible alone constitutes good evidence because it has gone through too many heads to get to us. I don't believe existance itself is proof because we don't have a control. This world is exactly what it would be if there were a God, or if there weren't. We cannot see what exist...

WEBSITE: Well, we are rushing because if we don't we'll lose momentum here and it won't be put up. Anyway, it actually IS up now. I got my keys to use it this morning. The software is similar to blogging software, but more powerful, meant for an informative site kept by several people. We can have s...

So who thinks that a fill in the blank "The enemy's gate is ___" is too elitist?

I have no idea how we could have lost the birthday thread. I thought maybe just the sticky got lost and so when through to try and find it, but it simply isn't there. There was a lot of copy pasting into the database because for some reason it wouldn't automatically take in the new database. So mayb...

Beautiful! Congratulations on this being your last year. If you're going for all out smile, I like the top one best. The bottom one looks too much like a school picture. If you're going for contemplative, I like the sepia one, second from the bottom. That one you have the tiniest smile on your lips,...

It looks like we lost a few posts. I'm not exactly sure how. Sorry to all of you users whose communications have been exiled to the ether. And to think that the juicy confession I posted is now gone forever. But this seriously beats losing it all. Sigh: We are still getting spam users. The reason us...

Submitted after the database backup: Luet So, today is the day? If you haven't gone into labor yet? You're in my thoughts, babe... steph Thanks, Nomi. Today is the day. We're packing up the car and heading out in about 1/2 an hour to drop the kid off at Grandma's. By noon (mountain time), pweb will ...

Yeah, that week isn't updated, but we did save it last night. We should have the past week's posts up by this evening. A few got posted after the save last night and before Vlad and I lost the connection to the old version, so I copied the text and will put those up too. Also, in order to work with ...

Still around? Haven't posted in a couple of days and I'm a little worried considering some of your most recent words on this forum.

Actually, the why of obedience to rules/commandments and morality is a good one. There are three levels of obedience. The lowest is obedience through fear. You are afraid of punishment, so you obey. The next is obedience through honor. You want to do the correct thing, so you obey. You could argue t...

I'm not sure if this should go in the personal triumphs thread or not. Today I made caramel fudge. So I could eat a lot. It was my first try at real, old fashioned fudge and it was very grainy. Also, I put 2 yr old toddler boy to bed in a garden spider costume, because he fell asleep on the couch af...

Arg! They still haven't switched us. I guess we will have to freeze things for longer. Aaaand the gremlin shows his face. Due to security in the program, passwords do not transfer. You will all have to request a password change when the transfer is complete. This makes me doubly anxious. When I trie...

Sweet Purple Panda Bears!

That is so awesome. I am SOO happy for you. I love medieval literature and old language.

Maybe you can help my daughter with her homework? She is going to be starting Latin at the electronic high school (her film school only offers spanish and she isn't too interested).

Most of the database is transfered over. On the other site, we have the upgrade already running. I myself haven't yet had a chance to take a look at it, except I know Vlad used a green theme. Anyway, we are still waiting on register dot com. Yes, I'm going to say their name because they are mired in...

Hey John, This is what I want you to know. Pweb almost died about a year ago. I considered just giving up because it didn't mean that much to me. It cost money, the rest of the site was and now is even more in a shambles, and no one else really seemed to want to actually take care of it. But you did...

Don't worry. Actually, we've figured out a way that will probably mean no freeze. And good luck on the VBAC! Just know, whether it can happen or not isn't a testament about your feminitiy or the goddess in you or anything that important. Some of the sites on childbirth that could give you good advic...

I wish I could say I've read her published work, but so far only occassional snippits of her blog. She is an awesome lady. I just don't have time to read books for fun right now. She is definately on my list, though.
