The Year in Videos
Cloverfield (2008; Holy crap, this was good. Would be a great double-header with The Host.); Communion (1989; Didn't work for me. Walken an odd choice, and it was more humorous than tense.); The 400 Blows (Criterion Spine #4) (1959; Truffaut's first feature; I'm looking forward to the Antoine Doinel followups.); Silent Rage (1982; Great beginning and Norris-appreciation, but slow and meandering ending.); Dakota Bound (2001; An actual plot, good cheesy action scenes, and lesbians. Amazingly good.);
The Year in Books
D&D 4E: Treasure of Talon Pass (4E: we're just a combat engine! Buy miniatures.); D&D 4E: Monster Manual (A little too light on fluff for me. Prefer fluff.); Apple Volume 1 (As an art book, great. But for story? Bleh.); The Art of Dragon Magazine (I remember many of these from the original issues.); Mateki: The Magic Flute (I like Amano, but this felt like wasted sketches.);
The problem is that most gods aren't possible, because they possess some attribute that can not exist without rewriting the myth. And this revising of the myth must continue until, eventually, it becomes as vague as the basic monotheistic concept of God, so that there is no point in distinguishing one from the other. The basic concept of God, as far as we know, can exist, without redefining what it means. So I contend that Stephen Roberts has failed to comprehend that there is a fundamental difference between God and Thor.
- Why is your God more likely or less likely then Allah? Or Thor? And what empirical evidence do you have of the difference between your God and Thor? Reread Robert's statement with this in mind.
Why call God "God" if he/she is malevolent? Because he is all-knowing and all-powerful. If that doesn't satisfy you, then you're just being difficult. Not to mention the possibility that a being that is everywhere at once just might have a different idea of what is "good" and what is "evil".
-As to why call him "God" if he/she is malevolent- you should ask yourself that. And to say that a person is just being difficult isn't an argument.
What about light, magnetism, and electricity? None of these things are matter.
- E = MC^2 <--- Look it up.
Actually it was the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. I guess the subtext there would be that all the suffering you have is because you think you can determine what is good and what is evil.
- Why create man with a reasoning brain and then smack him down for trying to think?
