Congratulations on getting it published. My own book isn't nearly so far along yet, haha. I take it you went the traditional route of hiring an agent to shop the book to various publishers, seeing as the spine seems to read "Ballantine Books"?

I still don't understand why you use language as an example of evolution when it was actively modified by intelligent beings. Or do you believe God uses/used evolution?

Reply to Deleting: A Silencing Tool in Ethics JoeUser Forums

You still have nothing in Scripture to prove that the RCC is the church which Christ built. The Bible in no way states whether the church was Protestant, Lutheran, Catholic, or whatever else. In fact, these denominations didn't even exist at the time, so why would Christ have said "the RCC is my holy church" in the first place? The truth, which you work around with circular logic and red herring arguments, is that Christ did not directly endorse the RCC at all. He

My personal position is that as long as the Arabs and Jews can live together without killing each other then they should be allowed to build houses wherever. If they can't live together, then the best solution (IMO) would be to keep both the Arabs and the Jews out of Jerusalem entirely. It's a solution which would obviously create a whole lot of outrage, but hey, they can't get along - why should they be allowed to kill people over it? [quote who="KFC Kickin For Christ" co

The dog and man aren't casting shadows either, didn't you notice? The lighting in the image in very diffused, probably from an overcast day, so the shadows are washed out.

I didn't know that. So given enough hallways, you could have a 1,000 square foot house with the footprint of New York City? Is it just me, or is everything done in strange ways in the US?

Reply to ATI 5870 – Installation of the “Beast” in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

I have an interesting situation because my LCD monitor actually refreshes at 120hz regardless of my computer's refresh rate setting (apparently it was designed to reduce the "ghosting" effect some lower-end LCD's have). I figure that having a 60hz refresh rate set on my computer is actually limiting the framerate. True, the game itself may actually be running at 75+ FPS, but if the monitor is only refreshing 60 times per second, then your framerate is effectively reduce

Reply to Uh, yes, that IS socialism in Politics Stardock Forums

[quote who="Leauki" comment="9"] Do explain. [/quote] Socialism is misunderstood as pointed out by Brad in the OP. Racism is misunderstood because people think that just about everything these days is racism, when oftentimes it is not. For example, saying that "black neighborhoods have more crime" is not necessarily racism. Unless the speaker intends for the comment to be derogative against black people, it's not racism. However, were some prominent

There is something to be said for going green, even without thinking about "global warming." @ taltamir: Agreed, I also wonder what sort of technology setup he'll be putting in here. I would also suggest running speaker wires + wall mounts for 7.1 surround speakers. :)

Socialism and racism... the two most commonly misunderstood terms in the English language.

Interesting read. I had been aware of the Generational Curse idea before, but I didn't know it had come about from the Bible/Freud - I had been under the impression that it was related to the "curses" used by Wicca practicioners.
