I find it kind of interesting that everybody likes to bring up the invisible bit. You wouldn't be very omnipotent if the puny humans could walk in on you by accident...

If you were immortal, wouldn't *you* eventually start fucking around with people? Forever is a long time.

You'll have to excuse me if I don't take you seriously as you A) are using an ad hominem argument in the first place, and B) can't even spell it correctly.

Oh. Then why bother even linking to another article linking to it?

After having actually read TFA, I still don't know what they mean by "misconduct." Are we talking academic, i.e. falsifying data or plagiarizing, or sexual misconduct, or what? The article carefully avoids ever joining an adjective to it.

Because come on...in general, does anybody believe males if they report being accosted?

Where can I sign up?! I remember the olden days when I could actually configure GRUB...

So it was a 486?

D'oh! Well, now that just looks stupid...

Hell, I love me some good sci-fi. I just don't pretend that it's pretty often a good deal more optimistic than it really should be, honestly.

Trolls Slashdot appear me rage makes incoherent with on it when!!?!!

That must be a pretty epic gun if it's able to create life...

"I'll take Fiction Peddled As Fact for $400, Alex."

SG-1 was on Showtime until season 5.

I assume The Programmers could handle a try-catch.

I had heard about the Isis thing, yeah. It's an interesting theory.

Catholicism vs. Protestantism was at one point basically "believe what we tell you because we won't let you read the actual Bible" versus "we're sick of this, we're going to read it ourselves and draw our own conclusions." So in the fight between tradition maintained by powerful bishops, popes, etc. and "Scripture alone, faith alone, grace alone," I come out on the side of reading the actual book. As you might have guessed, I have been a Lutheran.

Of course, then there's the problem of whether to include certain books that may contradict the rest......

Thank you for the references! They both come from a book that the church "de-canonized"...from which one can argue either viewpoint, I suppose. Either you believe that the writers of *this* gospel were involved in a conspiracy by creating the book, or the mainstream church was involved in a conspiracy to cover it up. Depending on your level of cynicism, I can see how arguments could be made for both.

The whole Gnostic "secret knowledge" claim seems to me a human construct rather than anything God would have wanted..."want all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth" etc. however there's of course power in influencing how people think.
