9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Psalm 23
1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Journal Journal: Reservations About Christianity

Can a pagan child enter heaven? According to Christian doctrine the answer is NO? Well, if it's true, it's troubling.

But they once told me "God is LOVE." I don't see any reason to ask if the LORD would do something cruel beyond comprehension.

Somewhere along the way I learned to call this apparent paradox "the clash" -- meaning that it is the segment of Christian doctrine which puts the whole religion into a sketchy light.

Censorship

Journal Journal: /. Religion Censorship

Slashdot does not have a category for "religion," or for Christianity.

"Enlightenment" is not the same thing.

Therefore I put the first of these Christian entries under slashdot's "censorship" category, in pseudo-protest.

=P

Well, it certainly doesn't fall under the "Enlightenment" or the "Moon" category.

Comment Re:Upgrades, schmupgrades (Score 2, Interesting) 44

If you will recall, when windows 95 came out, it's requirements drove people to upgrade their hardware, which in turn sent the prices down a lot (especially RAM). Although this sucked when you HAD to upgrade to get it to run decently, in the long run, it benefited all of us. I don't know if you remember RAM prices before that, but it was huge. I remember paying $400 for 16 megs.

Nowadays though, I don't think it can knock prices down as much of course (if at all). I will fight this upgrade as long as I can, just like I did XP, until games finally won me over (they seem to run better under XP).

Then again, maybe it'll knock down the ridiculously high price required to purchase video cards capable of running 3D games at a decent resolution/framerate. The last nvidia card (I got burned on) I bought for around $200 (CND) was such a piece of shit and couldn't run anything (Geforce 5600 XT). Part of that was my fault though, as I assumed XT was a higher version then just plain 5600. Although I am still mad at nvidia for their fucked up naming conventions. The card I had before this was a ti4200 8x, which was a hell of a card for the time, at basically the same price. Incidently, the ti4200 outperforms the 5600xt by quite a margin.

I do have a radeon 9800 Pro as well, which cost me a small fortune ($400 CND), which is now showing it's age, and I have no idea which way I'd go to get better performance without costing an arm and a leg. I think both Nvidia and ATI are releasing too many products these days, with too many different naming conventions intentionally so they can confuse the buyers.

anyways, hopefully vista will make better video cards come out cheaper.
