"Why do you have to quote others when you can quote yourself?" (Quote by me)
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.
You see things, and you say 'why'. But i dream things that never were and i say 'why not'.
Nothing wrong with debate threads, unless they're stupid enough to try to encompass all sorts of debates. It's a Forum, there's plenty enough room for individual threads so people can't get all confused. I've decided not to go back to Grig's thread because it got so huge and would have taken me half the weekend just to reply to everyone with all my thoughts, whereas separate threads could actually stay on topic.
I just don't like it when people will try to make a debate, instead of it naturally starting because of a squabble between members. You know, just let it happen when it happens.
Grig, what I was trying to say earlier was that I don't believe I've ever seen Old and not so tasty's topics where he supposedly started this thing. I didn't "copy" him intentionally, okay? Although I do consider him a cool cat and enjoy reading his posts, I don't know why he jumped to that conclusion...

I just noticed how three or four debate threads just popped up at the same time, and I was getting annoyed by them. I just wanted to see if anybody else felt this way.
I actually like the debate thread, since if it had been called something different I probably wouldn't have been dragged into it. This was the first time I'd ever had to support my beliefs in that sort of logical, back-and-forth manner. I learned a little, to make up for whatever Max didn't.
Originally posted by old and not so tasty I was messin' with ya mac. I should have made that more apparent. I know you don't know me very well yet. I took no offense and hope you wont either.
Phew, great. You seem like a real cool cat, though. Do you have AOL or AIM?
Sorry I said all that stuff. I should have known you were just foolin' around.
Just to clear this up, if anyone owns the 'shutup I hate you', it would be BatteryClock, as you can see here. http://www.oddworldforums.net/forums...&threadid=6943
Boy I cracked up when I first found that in necrum.

Why thank you Khanzumer! I thought that Max was listening to at least some of what me and others were saying! I think that reading the BIBLE would do you some good Max, you'd be soo cool if you did! You'd be my favorite forumer!
Well, let me just say that I've been reading more of my scriptues ever since Grig's debate thread came along! I usually just talk to those that believe what I do. I find it very interesting to see what others think...and it's funny to watch the arguments!
But now...I'm really getting tired of the debate thread becuase it's all of the same lately, and then I leave for an hour and 50 posts sprout up all over the place when I return! It's Madness! I agree with Mac that the debate thread is gettin' a wee bit annoying!
I must say that the Debate thread is very addicting though!
Listening to what other people are saying, I always try to do that. I was just worried you meant 'learned' as in, erm, well, adopting some of your own policies.
I did try reading through the Bible once, but I got to Exoddus before boredom got the better of me - it was the Tower of Babel, if I recall correctly. Perhaps I will try again, but like music and art, reading is something that got lost with my work ethic in the last year. I should finish reading Dune first.
You can't really read the Bible like a book and expect to get anything out of it. It takes study and guidance to really understand what is what, when things are literal and when they are symbolic and stuff like that. I still think it would be interesting, even if you aren't religious. There are a lot of interesting stories hiding in that book, even if the religious/morality part makes you gag.
Hey Max, they have The BIBLE on Tape or CD! Just invest in a nice set of that with a portable Cd or Tape player and your on your way to a new way of life!
But seriosly, the BIBLe is a great book if you want to feel al special inside as if everyne in the world loves you!
You're right Khanz, but it's not the morals that bore me, nor am I worried about studying and finding meanings. It's still reading, since it's printed on a page.
Grig, maybe, but since I already have a Bible in book form, it would be cheaper, plus I don't have to listen to how somebody else reads it, I can look at it on my own. It's just a matter of finding the time and effort.
You should make time and give some effort, you won't regret it! I mean, you could cut down on the Video games and Forums! Yes I know, how horrible! I read my scriptures everyday and I still get on the forums and play VG'S
I think my geography coursework, TOE, my personal site, my work ethic, trombone practice, redeveloping my loves of art, music, and reading and overcoming my selective mutism all take priority in my life, so not for some time, eh?
The debate thread about debate threads...
