    Movies, TV, and Acting

    No tv at all? Well, I admire your will power. I admit I do not watch a lot of tv but a do watch quite a few movies. It's how I unwind. And not for nothing, part of it is a quote I once read: "I watch movies to try to imagine what it would be like if I fit in."

    Looking For Answers

    While this is very well written, it does not answer the fundamental question: why? Moreover, in its best attempt to answer the question, there leaves one gaping hole: if homosexuality is wrong because it is not conducive to reproduction, what of the intimacies of heterosexual couples who are...

    Behind the Curve

    I have always felt as if I have been 'behind the curve' in life. I was the last one in my class to learn to tie my shoes, ride a bike, etc. I've been tested and my intelligence is quite high, so I've ruled that out, but it's just that everything seems to come difficult for me. Everything is a...

    Homeschooling...

    First I want to say that every child is home-schooled in that every parent should be a teacher. Now, having said that: I personally do not believe in home schooling. Granted, there are cases where in children are very well educated in their home schooling, however, too many times I have seen...

    "In three hours, Christ suffered more than any sinner ever will in hell"?

    I believe it was this mentality which brought about the great atrocity that was the Inquisition. God help us.

    Is It Ok to Talk to God Like This?

    If ours is an examined faith, we should be unafraid to doubt. If doubt is eventually justified, we were believing what clearly was not worth believing. But if doubt is answered, our faith has grown stronger. It knows God more certainly and it can enjoy God more deeply. C.S. Lewis

    A Challenge

    To me, the use of fear casts doubt on one's sincerity. People can say and do a lot of things when they are afraid and I don't believe I serve a God that is concerned only with lip service.

    The Last Temptation of Christ

    I've been told by people both on this forum and IRL that the Last Temptation of Christ portrays Christ as a sinful man. I find this fascinating as not a single one of them have ever actually seen the movie. But I digress, I would like to see where exactly Christ is portrayed as a sinner?

    The Last Temptation of Christ

    Good point. Why would one want to think outside the box? It might make one question the reason they believe what they do, possibly even to the extent of questioning whether or not what they believe is true. When one starts to think in such a way they lose security. It's much easier to believe...

    The Last Temptation of Christ

    You are the first and only person I have ever spoken with who has not made their decision based on, "What I heard..." I applaud that.

    "In three hours, Christ suffered more than any sinner ever will in hell"?

    As I said, there is no question the entire experience was incomprehensibly painful, however, unlike hell, it did eventually end. "Into thy hand I commend my spirit. It is finished."

    "In three hours, Christ suffered more than any sinner ever will in hell"?

    Again, I ask: How many innocent bystanders are there in hell?

    Did Christ Have To Die?

    I don't watch a lot of shows, in that I don't watch a lot of shows that are on right now. I do, however, have netflix and am a workaholic...sometimes a dangerous combination. I have compiled a list of my personal favorites: Mad About You Scrubs Cheers Spin City Gray's Anatomy Star Trek The...
