Well I'm a theology student, but not part of a seminary. So I can only assume I'd be someone who studies Aedra and Daedra, but not someone involved in any priesthood.

This. I'm a Christian, and unashamedly so, but a lot of theology is far more nuanced than the layman often presents it to be. Things like "God wrote the Bible" are the obvious ones - it's vast oversimplification of the doctrine of divine inspiration. The problem is people don't understand divine...

So there's an indie kickstarter going on at the moment for a game called Unforgotten Quest. It's based on the 'Unforgotten Realms' webseries that was on the Escapist for a little while, so I was wondering what you all thought of it or if you'd heard of it. It's currently at $79,000 out of the...

I have a signed copy of thebandwithnoname's albumn "Dying to be there". That's about it for rare stuff... Actually, I have some old books. Like a copy of Pilgrim's Progress from 1860ish. Not sure how rare those are, but eh.

In my opinion, a 'real man' is a man who takes responsibility for his actions, acts in a sound, dignified and hopefully chivalrous manner, and tries to be as nice as he can. His interests, in his appearance, hobbies or otherwise, are irrelevant. If you want my opinion on whether or not people...

I remember reading about a boss in an MMO (I'm not sure which, I think Everquest but I could be wrong) which was essentially impossible. It was teamed up on by several guilds, beating on it for several hours, and when the company running it (I think SOE, again could be wrong) saw that it was...

The worst thing is that Paul writes things specifically against that sort of mentality. The one I can pull off the top of my head is "Shall we sin all the more that grace may abound? By no means!" Really? Wow, that sucks. It's also plainly illogical, and counter-Biblical. Paul says at one...

Yeah, I didn't see that there were any other responses to your post until I'd replied. Woopsie! :P As for my source: Romans 1:26?27, 1 Corinthians 6:9?10, and 1 Timothy 1:9?10 are the passages which speak about homosexuality, putting it alongside other mentions acts such as adultery and...

A woman recently went to jail for two years after falsely accusing three men of rape. They all got drunk, she regretted it, and the police called foul after 10 days or so when they noticed cracks in her story. This is in the UK though.

The eye for an eye thing annoys me as well. The idea is it's an eye for an eye AND NO MORE. It's to limit things. Actually the New Testament does speak of homosexuality fairly clearly, in Paul's epistles. Moreover the law which Jesus said was done with is largely considered to be the Jewish...

I didn't play the first one, so I don't care. I understand why people are annoyed though... to an extent. Burn down Nintendo? Really? -_-

I don't... I... are you allowed to say that on the internet? I thought we were meant to shout insults and start a petty squabble that derails the entire thread. I mean... what do you do in this situation? Am I to question your sexuality and make crude remarks about your mother? Or... no, that...

Pain is a created response by the brain to external stimuli and is decreased by relaxation of the body, to the point where in certain surgical operations anti-depressants are used rather than sedatives in order to keep the patient happy and out of pain but awake and able to communicate. It is...

I like Dara O'Briain's quote on this subject. "Oh, Alternative Medicine, Chinese Medicine, Natural Medicine. They've been using them for thousands of years." "Yeah. Then they tested everything and the stuff the worked became MEDICINE."

I think there could be another world war, but I doubt it would ever come to the point of trench warfare. We have too much sophisticated technology now - bombs, missiles, tanks and planes are all too well-armoured and powerful for infantry to be any use in the same theatre.
