Unfortunately I'm not really an expert on how the Anglican Communion currently views/uses the Bible. To my thinking they painted themselves into a corner by not having an official stance on homosexuality. Their desire to appear more accepting may hav...  [Read More]

See there's the thing though. Regardless of what his constituants knew about him (I couldn't recall if the Episcopal bishops were popularly elected or not, thanks for clearing that up) HE knew about his personal drinking problem, so that should have...  [Read More]

Interesting. Looks cool, but you say it doesn't help much. ;) I have lists of moves on my page (see sig link) but no pictures or animations really. Perhaps somebody wouldn't mind creating some like the above? That would be sweet to put on the site (...  [Read More]

Right. The "Expansion" (four SWBF1 maps, a few more maps given Celebrity Deathmatch options, and two new Jedi Heroes) is only for the Xbox. Still no patch yet, but one is said to be on the way, followed shortly by the mod tools......  [Read More]

Good point. I guess since we don't have a "current events forum" this sort of thing ends up here. Sometimes we call this the 'political debate forum.' If you want to argue about whether Cheney is a good Vice President or not that would fit....  [Read More]

I would object to Skinwalker's use of "cult" to define a world religion of 1.3 billion people all over the world. He knows full well that the term "cult" can be defined (according to the dictionary) as any religious group or pract...  [Read More]

Yes, though the less said about it the better. People can find that information on their own. Such things have high potential for abuse (such as the people selling bootlegs on ebay). We assume that such people who obtain such fan made materials under...  [Read More]

You'd be better off getting the Original Trilogy on DVD, it's loads better than the special edition. Well in terms of visual quality, yes, it's lots better, but in terms of content, that's debatable. I think in some ways its better, in other ways wo...  [Read More]

Also, the idea that "American was founded on the Christian religion" could be read in a metaphorical or symbolic sense. One could say that the European explorers and conquerers had (among other goals) the goal of "converting" the...  [Read More]

Yeah, it's a good theory, but not airtight. For example Leia takes out a Scout by slamming a stick (not piercing, but sideways) into his (armored) chest. If the Trooper armor is designed to resist blaster bolts, it seems to have done a poor job, sinc...  [Read More]
