What is this "authentic" Christianity of which you speak. Which one of the 1500+ denominations got it right?

Just finished Chuck Pahluniuk's "Fight Club" and I'm working on Nietzche's "Thus Spake Zarathustra" and Khaled Housenni's "A Thousand Splendid Suns."

Why should magic be considered evil at all? perhaps it is just another misunderstood practice.

I have just switched my screen name. And as a new man I would like to introduce myself. I am the Babel Fish; for through me all will become clear.

I stare Pascal in the eye every day....

This is a question that regretably I must ask. In my culture (if you can say that we even have a culture in the U.S.) classical music is completely avoided, misunderstood, and actually looked down on, can you believe that? My students when they find out that I love classical music, jazz...

I really love his works for piano. It's too bad that more of his works have not been arranged for guitar, which is my instrument by necessity. Guess I'll have to do it myself.

When Ravel wrote this piece, it was at a time when he had suffered severe mental impairment and had lost all sense of pitch. He instead put his focus on tembre. Thus the repeating phrases performed by different instruments.

I'm looking for some people to discuss composition with. For the last few years I've been putting my focus on Classical and Jazz and there are quite a few questions I would like to discuss with those who might have a little more experience than myself. I do have somewhat of a formal education...

This is probably the most ridiculous thread I have ever seen.

I once heard that "It is better to be hurt by the truth than comforted by a lie." You can look at this both ways depending on what your perception of truth is. Perhaps you are having this crisis of faith because you don't know yet what the truth is. I certainly don't. Look into to wicca...

no more drugs for you, little lady.

This is an awesome idea, I'm in. I don't know if there are any book crossing zones in MN. If not, i'm going to start one.

And if I have to hear one more narrow-minded christian say that Christians shouldn't support a book, let alone read it, when nearly all of the source material for the book was derived from the work of Tolkien (who, by the way, no christian seems to have a problem with because he was one of the...

Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy

I'll pick it up this week. I have to finish a few others before I start anything new.

I'm not even going to humor this question. I've read both, unfortunately, and they're both completely absurd.
