Re: Technology Thread.
And you keep referring to operating system. The vast majority of people going into a phone shop wouldn't have a clue what operating system their phone uses , nor care. So for me the whole 'choice' thing is rendered a moot point. If someone is weighing up whether they want iOS or Android then sure, ...

Re: The Religion Thread
But, joking aside... Doctor Faustus (Marlowe). Not as good as Goethe in my opinion, but obviously has historical precedent. go on.... would that be Scene 7, lines 83-84? (wiki) But have you read the book though, that is the question? It's one of those, a bit like Trollope or Eliot, that are classic...

Re: Technology Thread.
I'm thinking of getting one of those wheel things, you know the round ones you stick on an axle. Thinking of one that'll do upwards of two revolutions a year.

Re: The Religion Thread
OK, so I now get the universal salvation thing, and the no condemnation to an eternity of torture etc. which leaves the last question from me on this particular aspect. If your particular Christian branch doesn't believe in Hell, does that mean that you've ejected all the concommitent paraphenalia ...

Re: The Religion Thread
What does come across to me - from you and from Monty - is that you don't have a problem with me believing what I do (as I don't with you) - but somehow me NOT believing in Hell is an issue for you! so it SOUNDS like, for some reason, you would rather (If I am going to persist with these christian ...

Re: The Religion Thread
I thought the idea of fire and brimstone 'hell' was far from universal. Thought it was a mainly Catholic thing, like transubstantiation and the Immaculate Conception. That a not insubstantial, more liberal side of the Anglican/Orthodox lot tended to be more wishy washy purgatory-style temporary hel...

Re: The Religion Thread
The point I was trying to get across here is that a true Shitoist does not believe in God, and therefore any encounter with God would be shocking to the Shintoist, and also hence why I was promoting it as your 'heaven'. It was you that said "as for other religions - I'm also a universalist!" and th...

To theBish: "as for other religions - if you're asking - I'm also a universalist!" - how's that work then?

Re: The Religion Thread
I'm not thebish and don't believe in exactly the same things he does re heaven and hell though the core of our Christian faith is the same and I'm pretty sure our views on why go to church aren't too far apart (though sure he will be along to disagree with that later) For me though, the main points...

Re: The Religion Thread
Anyway, first question (kind of directed at theBish). If, in the doctrine called Universal Salvation, all souls are finally reunited with God no matter what their earthly sins have been, why bother to have a church? Why mediate, or present a point of view, or even talk about Christ if some sadistic ...
