Until you can validate your book Jythier, I am not concerned with the contents in any guiding light sort of way. I have read the bible and am competent enough to make my own mind up. Monotheism offers absolutely no options with all their claims of free choice. What you choose to believe and why you choose to believe it is not my concern. I certainly don’t search you out when I need to figure something out, anything. Start yourself a Christian neighborhood and wall it off. Practice whate

This stuff is just going to get better and better with time. We are advanced enough for people to escape our gravity well for short periods of time, but this will improve too. I just wish I were young enough or rich enough to make the trip myself but we cannot turn back the hands of time (yet). I was interested in the concept of space elevators for a while and cannot wait for one to be constructed.

Jythier, do you look up anything for yourself? The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim, ethical code, or morality that essentially states either of the following: (Positive form of Golden Rule): One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself. (Negative form of Golden Rule): One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated. This concept describes a "reciprocal", or "two-way", relationship between one's self and
