Considering more than 80% of Christian book stores in America that carried music refused to carry one P.O.D. album because they thought the Christian symbolism was "occult," it is a good idea to stay away from them. The cover of the album "Payable on Death" features a figure with their arms...

Most of that stuff is cheap commercial feel good rip offs of anything substantial. Oddly enough the Tarot cards on sale were probably those designed by Arthur Edward Waite, a Christian who actually wrote against the legends about Tarot cards (and a bunch of other subjects) to show that they are...

I usually phrase the cosmological argument as "God is whatever the source is of causality." Can't have any creating going on without causality. It also gets around those folks that would like to argue that existance is cyclical (how did that cycle get rollin'?).

I have not been visiting the site near as much in the past year because of school. I've gotten used to not coming to the site and now spend that time doing things more productive or immediately, such as running a regular D&D campaign with my IRL friends, getting more work done on my books, and...

At some churches. The first thing I spotted was: That isn't mandatory for Baptists, although the congregation you grew up in could well have voted that as the congregation's stand. My own philosophical views on idealism vs empiricism end up making a moot point out of the differences between...

"Ctrl + C" doesn't copy stuff and "Shift + Insert" doesn't paste, Jim? Is it just that they disabled the right mouse button? (Sorry, my inner geek wants to play IT guy).

Quoting something that is less than a few hundred years old without mentioning who the author was is plagiarism. Quoting something that is more than a few hundred years old you often do not need to name the author because people will know who you're quoting already. The Qur'an refers to things...

Here's a handy little acrostic that describes what the majority of Baptists have traditionally believed (although many traditionalist baptist churches now do not go along with stuff such as the A, P, I, or S): B - Biblical authority A - Autonomy of the church P - Priesthood of the believer T -...

No... As I had said: Here is Atlantians original words: At no point does he say that creation science pushes anyone and everyone to atheism. As Arunma pointed out, noone converts because of Creation science. They could just as easily convert to Judaism or Islam if that was why they...

I was refering to the part where he said listening. Not to the friend part. Your being a friend does not negate that you are giving him psychological help. Where do I have a preoccupation with that? You completely misunderstand me. I am just saying that psychology would have nothing to...

So, in other words, Yom can mean day, year, or time, except when it would mean that interpretations of the Bible other than Young Earth Creationism have the possibility of being be Biblically valid interpretations? A week is seven days. How long those days are is entirely dependant on the...

It's nothing personal, it's just that I almost never see that idea used in a good context.

It would quickly become a heated debate forum. Look at the General Theology or Non-Christian Religion sections.

Ethnicity would be how much blood from each of the three main races one as in one's ancestry (although there would no longer be any members of just one race). For example, Ashkenazi Jews would supposedly have elements of Hamitic (Israel was in Egypt for some time, they definately had...

After thinking about it, a problem I have with this is that I can see it easily degenerating into three groups flaming each other, advocating either: 1) "Jesus wants us to engage in necromancy" 2) "All spirituality is dumb and this proves it" 3) "Groups 1 and 2 are going to burn in Hell because...

Yoga, sure, he advocated that. However, you're going for a logical fallacy here by making those claims about Jung believing Hindu magic was the cause of NDEs. It's like saying "both Augustine and Calvin believed in predestination, Augustine was a Catholic, therefore Calvin was a Catholic." He...

Why not have an astrology forum? Or an alchemy forum? Or a gris-gris making forum? Perhaps something about the Illuminati taking over the world? Why not have a section dedicated to Abraxoid gems and uses of the name Abraxas? Perhaps we should have a section dedicated to taking the Flying...

BlackSabb: You said that Jung was crazy. Please providence of this. We agree that Freud is crazy, as are some of the therapists that Catherineanne has had, but Catherineanne and I actually have a standard to gauge that by. What standard do you have? When asked about very basic psychology...

Freud is not the founding father. There was an entire community before him. You said that Jung was a lunatic. You have provided no evidence of this, and to date I have only heard folks that say Jung was a nut if they knew NOTHING about psychology. You appear to be name dropping Jung as being...
