I thought Magic Street really took the discussion of soul to interesting places. While I don't fully accept the idea of the Ecclesiasticists that there is no immortal soul (Resting on Christ's statement to fear them that can kill body and soul in hell) I do depart from most of my sect in recognizing...

Hold your breath under bridges and tunnels or the flying vampire monkeys will get you. My sister held her breath for a minute and 35 seconds once. Not for fear of the monkeys, but because she was toughest. Or cheating. You can speed by 9 or 11 miles over the limit and not get caught. Everyone says t...

I don't know if Avery Brooks suffers from the same thing the other Captain actors have, which is this weird illusion that the show is about them, and everyone else is supporting cast. I mean, I guess it's what gave them the ability to act the roles. It was just funny to me that Shatner suggested tha...

There are two areas where I would go to wiki. One is for items so obscure people aren't likely to be reading them often, like the Bohr effect. The other would be for entertainment, like learning about Norse mythology. I wouldn't count on it for historic or literary articles. Like, there was this wei...

I don't claim to be an Islamic fundamentalist terrorist, but I believe terrorism was first seen in the Palestinian conflict, and is in my mind associated with groups that have no venue for negotiation and so choose symbolic violence by forces that do not answer to a government to draw attention to t...

One year in an underground bunker, you get 5 movies
I know there is a favorite movie thread already, but some folks just had a couple, and some had a whole bunch. So I'm laying it down, if you had to go into an underground bunker for a year, which 5 movies would you pick and in what order? A sentence or two on why? I had a top 10 in my livejournal, s...

God is not flesh and blood, but he is described as flesh and bone. This was the significance of the first vision of Joseph Smith, though we believe it is similar to the vision of St. Stephen, when he saw Jesus Christ standing on the right hand of God. God is such a glorious being that mortals cannot...

Ah, well, I know from experience not to tell a Jehovah's witness that Ecclesiastes has less validity than a direct quote from Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew. :?

I would be interested in Jewish or Muslim perspectives, but my main interest is the claim that the Bible does not support it. If you want to reason out of the Bible or other holy writings, that would be fine. If you believe in spirits but not in God, I guess you can talk about that. But as this came...

No soul or immortal spirit?
This has actually been going on in the "I don't believe in Atheist" thread, but I wanted to get this out here where other might see and comment on it. And my question is simply whether your Christian denomination teaches that the soul was a Greek invention and that there is no immortal spi...

The length of a pregnancy is not spelled out in the bible in black and white because it's just one of those things that people who are adults know. They mention it as a measure of other things that happen. These are the sorts of references found in the Bible. I tend to think that is the reason. The ...

I've never experienced fluency in a foreign language, and my major was linguistics. I minored in Arabic and took Latin, German, Chinese, and Russian. So I'm not just picking out some bizarre thing that doesn't really matter to me. I'm capable of accepting that it was never important enough to me to ...

I didn't understand a lot of The Worthing Saga . It still kind of escapes me, plus whenever he used a dead baby as stage dressing I was affected probably more than he meant for a reader to be. Similar to his essay about why he removed the n-word from Ender's Game . There can be dead babies, just not...
