    morning and evening prayers prog

    Thanks. I really have no clue what I am doing, mostly just messing around in an unstructured fashion. Already I can see a few more stupid things I did in that version lol. But its a lot of fun. I can't believe I never tried programming really before this summer because its so exciting. ^_^

    morning and evening prayers prog

    Well you can get the archive here. You just need to make it with gcc -o whatevernameyoulike prayers.c prayertexts,c psalms.c. (You can even fill in the rest of the psalms first if you like :p)

    morning and evening prayers prog

    Ok. I made something the past couple of days. It is written in C, which is probably a stupid choice of language for the project, but it was really more of a "learn C" project than a "do things sensibly" project. Anyway, basically, it is a commandline program, which I know compiles and runs...

    Finding Christ through Secularism

    My initial interest in God came from Nietzsche and Emil Cioran... I loved them so much but I could never managed, try as I might (and I tried so hard), to muster their capacity for despair.

    I am sure I remember someone on here mentioning

    Council of Florence was 15th C. There was another council which tried (and failed) to bring reconciliation in the 13th C though, maybe you mean that one? Well either way is good. Exactly the period I need for an essay. Any more details?

    I am sure I remember someone on here mentioning

    Either here on perhaps on another forum, someone mentioning a group of Dominicans who went to the East to convert the Orthodox but got converted themselves? I think the context was someone explaining that not all monks wear black (apparently this group having been given a blessing to wear the...

    Healthcare, socialism and christians

    Well I neither agree nor disagree. But I would say my reason for not agreeing is based on the fact that to care for the sick and suffering means to sacrifice MY time/money/emotional energy on their behalf. It doesn't give me the right to say other people should have to (which is what voting in...

    "Ever sinless" Theotokos

    I don't see why saying Mary never sinned makes her out to be a demi-god. Nor do I see how it provides any support for female ordination or similar phenomenon.

    Healthcare, socialism and christians

    Bascially Christianity actually has very little to say for or against on the issue of how and if the government should provide these kind of services. But people with strong political views and strong religious views who are not that introspective can easily get confused between the two even...

    "Ever sinless" Theotokos

    I always thought in a sense when Jesus gave her to John to look after and said "behold thy mother" he was on one level giving her to the whole church. But now that I think about it I can't remember if I ever heard that said or just thought so myself... because it's not like John particularly...

    Serbia still Resists!

    Yes. I love my friends, I love my family, I share my life with those people. But I am not married to them. What separates marriage from those relationships? The union of male and female.

    Technically "infidel" just means one who does not have faith or one who is not faithful. If faith in this context is "the faith" then infidel is exactly what a non-believer is. But it is a word which in modern english parlance has particular connotations.
