I always enjoy it when somebody whips out the "oh, it was distorted all along, the translation is a conspiracy, but I HAVE THE *TRUE* MEANING!"
This whole ~nirvana thing you're pushing seems to be rather at odds with the recurring "I am the Way...only through me" messages, but after all, you know better.
Unfortunately, paul corrupted the church in it's formation, laying the groundwork for doublespeak that would chain the masses in ignorance.
The Catholics kind of consider Paul the founder of the entire freakin' church...can you even say that the founder "corrupted" it if it didn't exist prior?
One can only wonder at the manipulation needed to still include Jesus saying we are god/part of god in the bible and yet convince the masses that only Jesus is God.
I would be very interested in seeing verses that you quote in support of this. The Bible as far as I've ever seen emphasizes the ability of the reader to have a relationship with God, but it's at best as a confidant, and usually as an authority to be obeyed. God and/or Jesus (Trinity, y'know), angels, and man are rather clearly delimited as separate classes of beings.
Except it isn't my definition. It's the definition at the top of every spiritual/religious path.
[citation needed]. This sounds very dependent on which religions you're talking about and/or subjective.
Yes, if you make your own definition, it is possible to disprove said definition.

The reason we lost the Start menu in the first place is because Microsoft added the Start menu search field, people started using it, and then they cited that according to their research, nobody used the actual menu anymore.
Ergo, if we quietly ignore Metro and don't complain about it, they will probably come to the conclusion that we are now "using" Metro and use that to justify killing off another part of the formerly perfectly-functional desktop.

Linux Mint *is* basically Ubuntu with a different UI...and codecs...or rather, it's Ubuntu with the *original* UI.
Also, using Ubuntu with a different DE means you're still using Ubuntu. The GP specifically stated he didn't want to support what Canonical is doing. While what you're saying may be easier (I myself recently installed both and was surprised to find that it was actually easier in Ubuntu than Mint this time around), that's not what we're talking about here.
You want Good, Fast, *and* Open-Source? How about we add Cheap to that list to make it completely 100% impossible...
Sounds to me like you're complimenting his taste in consumer products
1. The main point of the summary was that they're trial versions, presumably trying to sell you the product/subscription. I don't believe hardly any Ubuntu programs are trying to sell you stuff (other than maybe Ubuntu One, if they're still doing that).
2. J Random Program on Ubuntu is probably easier to uninstall. Just "apt-get uninstall X".
Considering how long there've been rumors about a single-window mode and my never seeing it, I was waiting for somebody to smack me in the face with it. You are apparently that person. Thanks
