    Anime/Manga Online

    Does anyone here have any sites that host anime or manga. Any legal sites? Hulu has some, but only certain shows and then only a few seasons of each. Anything would be very much appreciated. :D

    actual misconceptions about anime

    I'm pretty sure the happy music and conveniently placed pinyata made that last scene all the more disturbing. *shudders*

    Favorite Anime Theme Song?

    I really like the opening song for Bleach. Although, it probably has a lot to do with my love of rap (or rap-like music) in foreign languages. :P I don't know why, but it just makes me happy. EDIT: I should clarify that I like the song from the first season. I just started the second season...

    Is Manga Christian?

    I would have to agree. People may say that "Lord of the Rings" or "Narnia" are "Christian books", but I would disagree... they are fantasy books with Christian themes and ideas. There is something of a difference there. The same would have to be said of anime and magna; some of the themes and...

    Visiting an Orthodox Church

    Yes, it is definetly Baptist country down there! Which can be very odd for me, as I grew up Lutheran and even when we attended "contemporary services" always had a nice Liturgy (which I am only now beginning to really appreciate) Thanks to everyone for all of the advice! I'll be sure to come...

    Visiting an Orthodox Church

    Yeah, this is the site I had used to check. It was weird because there are plenty of Orthodox Churches surrounding Evansville... but Evansville itself is just this large, scary void. ^_^ and thanks for all of the advice, everyone :)

    Protestantism.... A Friendly Rant

    Well, it didn't quite work for me. ;) ^_^

    Visiting an Orthodox Church

    Sometime within the next month or so I plan on visiting a nearby Orthodox Church. I've not decided where to go yet (there are quite a few nearby, and I don't really want to just pick one at random so I'm reading all of their websites) but I really want to visit one before I go back to University...

    Lamentations

    I came across this website, and thought it might be nice to share it with people here. (It is a Lutheran site, but I don't think there is much that isn't also shared by all Christian tradition.) How Long, O Lord? Psalm 13 (the one mentioned in this article, towards the bottom) is one of my...

    What turns people away from Christianity?

    :thumbsup: Agreed. Although, I don't mind identifying myself with someone (in my case Luther) if it allows me a quick short-hand to let others know where I stand on certain theological issues. By no means am I Lutheran because I like Luther, nor do I accept everything Luther ever wrote or said...

    What turns people away from Christianity?

    Calvinsim. Fundementalism. Legalism. But, at least how I see it, it isn't so much what these people are teaching and preaching that turns people off, but how they preach. When talking about who will get into heaven, all too often people sound happy that certain "other people" wont be making...

    Am I Just Cynical?

    No, I think this makes quite a lot of sense. Actually, it seems that you've summed up a very vague thought that has been running around my head for a while in a concise, logical way. The idea of becoming "one flesh" not simply because you are having sex with someone, but because your lives have...

    Am I Just Cynical?

    Yes, in retrospect the term is fairly misleading. :P But, surprisingly, it is the term used to describe a close friendship without sex. I think its supposed to emphasize the closeness of the friends while maintaining that it is not a sexual relationship. (Although, with "friends with benefits" I...

    Am I Just Cynical?

    And I could agree with you, except this seems to leave those people who choose to be single (and those who just end up being single) with something of a void in their relationships. If they never get married, and by default never get this "one basket", the implication would be that they never...

    Am I Just Cynical?

    Yes, indeed... I could see where that concern would come in. On a very personal level, I have a very large personal bubble that I let few people into... so for me, this is more of an emotional issue. Should ones spouse/girl or boyfriend be the one you are most emotionally intimate with... and is...

    Am I Just Cynical?

    well, yeah. that's the point. ;) But, I think it would depend on how you are defining "in love". Nearly everyone is in love with more than one person at the same time. I mean, I love my mother and my dad. That makes two right there. If you would add in my siblings, aunts, uncles... But in all...

    Am I Just Cynical?

    I'm starting to feel rather cynical, but it seems as though the only real difference between the relationship one has with friends and the relationship one has with their spouse is sex. I agree that one should be emotionally and physically (different from sexually) intimate with their...

    Lack of College Christians

    I have to say that my first few weeks at college were terrible! I am attending a school that is hours away from home and also very far away from all my old high school friends colleges-- that, and none of my friends were attending the school with me. I didn't really get along with my roomates...
