Guest Rogue9 Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 and if you really want to kill it Imladil you can just delete the thread. but that would lower our post counts and make us sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imladil Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Yes, he was trying to get your goat. Looks like he did, too. The best response to someone being boorish in a thread like this is to either ignore them (my personal favorite) or politely as them to take their opinions elsewhere. Engaging them head-to-head on a delicate matter such as religion is a bad idea. It destroys the conversation...which is often what they wanted in the first place.

Guest Grand_Admiral_Ice Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 I'm sorry. I live in a country (US) that supports and believes in antidisestablishmentarianism (did I spell it right?). I've gone to public school my entire life (and a short life it has been), I never attended any religious services because I was the kid who search for a scienticfic answer rather that ones explained by the supernatural. God is a controversal (okay I'm a bad speller) subject and probably always will be, like whether we actually exist and the whole concept of time. Last but not least... Yvan eht nioj! On a totally unrelated note... Cracken, I think they're gonna narc on our stash. ------------------ I find your lack of faith disturbing [This message has been edited by Grand_Admiral_Ice (edited March 20, 2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LukA_YJK Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Dear Friends ! Glad to "meet" you all again Hey, Imladil, good title for the topic. I also heard this story: Monk 1: "The flag is moving." Monk 2: "The wind is moving." Zeno: "Not the wind, not the flag; mind is moving." Continuing this thought some people said that there is no substance, only the mind ! But what is the reason and what is the result ? The river question is not so attractive... Sorry, I think this talk is of nothing, it is not the main matter...<HR>I am only a beginner <BIG>There is no power but the Force</BIG> So I agree with Lujayne if to call the Force as God. But Grand Admiral Ice is also right in the sense of that some people conceive God as a being look like an animal, a human or even a father with wife and multitude of children. The absolute power, knowledge, beauty, life - the Force is an initial reason of everything and is uncomparable... If you will dig out the initial reason of something with your scientific spade always in some depth you can not dig more, then some people say - it is a Chance, but some others - the Force... and NOBODY can prove...

Guest GUNNER Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Some one asked for this to be closed and so it shall. It is done.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lujayne Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Though...I don't know why it should be closed...what is wrong with some religious discussion? As long as there is no flaming or biting off of heads, what would be wrong with keeping this open? I think we are all mature enough to have some conversation about things other than a video game (because there are other things in life ) even though, yes, this is a video game forum. We are all friends here (are we not?) and so should be able to move the discussion to other things too! So why would you guys not want to close this down, and abandon the discussion? You are preventing minds from being challenged and thoughts from being provoked. That's fine if one wants to create a bunch of mindless drones who cannot think for themselves. (But we don't want to do that here, do we?) I realise that that's the norm for this liberal, politically correct, sitting-on-the-fence society that we are moving into. But the masses are not always right. And GUNNER...have you nothing to say on this matter of religion? --L.<font size=-2> [This message has been edited by Lujayne (edited March 21, 2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GUNNER Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 Lujayne, Zoomy asked for it to be closed so I did. I have lots to say about religion, I didn't know what this thread was about, I just closed it without looking past the first few posts. That's all....
