What I find funny is that people don't get that there's nothing wrong with religion meeting government, it's just one or the other becoming each other.

MasonM, swallow your pride (it's huge, I know), and stop ruining KFC's comments, or go to my site. Those are your options for insulting me.

What is being Closed-Minded? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

In my opinion, being closed-minded is forcing that other people don't shove their opinions on oneself. However, I have been told by others that this is not, in fact, the case. Apparently, being closed-minded is not converting to any idea that is tossed out in front of you. To tell you the truth, as somebody perfectly happy right now, I'd rather not agree with everything. First, I don't believe that everything somebody else says is correct (though, granted, I'll respec

[quote]As a Jew I think all Christians are heretics. Hows that for narrow minded?[/quote] Not bad. You only target one sect! Actually, if you call yourself Christian, and don't have any additions to the Bible since the early Church (third-hand accounts, around 200 AD, give or take), I don't consider you heretical. It's not a solid law, but it's more or less how I interpret it. And I don't try to kill the heretics. I try to convert them.

Wanna have a fight of words? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I'm opening up the Video Game Classification Wiki to the public (which means no account needed). What you can do is make an account and a page with your name (real or fake), then put little sections to duel. If it gets off well enough, I may make a public wiki simply for the purpose of fighting with words. Basically it's a way to relieve stress and keep comments from piling up too quickly on poor people's articles (sorry, KFC). Any comments or ideas are appreciated. I'll see you there (you gu

Reply to What Did You Play This Weekend? in Gaming JoeUser Forums

I found Super Mario Sunshine fun, but not fun enough to *play*. I read a book once that was way more interesting. And it wasn't terribly good. Just one of those crummy Shadowrun paperbacks. Or was it Battletech? I like those too much. I think Anno 1701 and 1602 are games in a series, though I haven't played either much. They are similar.

[quote]It's the authority itself that comes from God and such authority is not absolute authority since it is delegated to humans who are capable of misusing it (and therefore the power of God is not behind it.) Each user is accountable to God for his administration of the authority he holds and he's going to be held to a higher standard than the person who holds none..."to whom much is given, much is required". St.luke 12:48. [/quote] Quoted for truth.

Are they copying the game? If not, then it's not a copyright violation. Copyright can be traced back to two words. Right (as in entitlement), and copy (as in reproduce or reproduction) make up copyright. If it is not a copy, it's not an infringement of copyright.

Yes, but if they do not know what prayer is, but know what Evolution is, is it fair? I've been through the Evolution scholarly set, and it's a religion. It's everything I hate about Christianity. I'm not saying that it couldn't have happened under God, but secular "Big Bang -> Evolution" progression is a religion in and of itself. I was never taught a "creation theory" in my textbook, only my mediatonary science teacher taught that. I notice your lack of faith in my ability t

Yes, but it's a token gesture towards equality. As a teacher, it isn't your job to say yea or nay to Christian beliefs. But schools teach a "nay" standpoint. Teachers aren't supposed to put "the kebash" on students' theological discussion. Nor are they supossed to guide it. I know of at least one teacher that I have had that has tought only the Evolution (hey, it's a religion) side of orgin, not Creationism, and that in itself is saying that there is no God.
