True... But I didn't read it as though he was asking about churches for Christians. So I was just suggesting some churches where the beliefs he described would fit in. (Not saying those are the only possible choices though.)
-
I thought he was asking about Christians. I'm pretty sure that Christians would be welcome at either of those churches.
-
A Unitarian Universalist church or Church of Religious Science might work well for that person.

I have this t-shirt. I suppose that it is limited-appeal. And now that I found a picture of it online (it was given to me from a friend), that site has a lot of funny t-shirts: http://www.t-shirthumor.com/Merchant2/sanr.html.

Sure it does. Before, I couldn't give a rat's ass about other religions, including Christianity. I thought they were all whacko for believing in heaven and hell and believing in a God that you couldn't see. Therefore, why would I even bother learning about religion? There are some atheists who know a lot about the various religions. It seems more logical to claim that you don't believe in these religions if you actually know a bit about them. You can learn about religion without choosing to follow it, and in a world where the majority of people believe in some sort of god(s), it would at least give you a better understanding of other people. And of course, those who are religious would probably benefit from learning about other religions as well.

Being an atheist/unbeliever has nothing to do with how much knowledge you have of what any of the religions believe. But since you say that you have little knowledge of other religions, I am curious... What made you choose Christianity over Islam, Hinduism, or any other religion?
-
Telepathy, of course.
-
I suppose that depends on what it is that you truly believe.
-
Some people believe in more than one god. They are just as likely to be correct as you are. Exactly. Any religion that claims to be the "one true religion" or to worship the "one true God" is teaching intolerance and arrogance. Doesn't sound like a good path to peace and serenity to me, which IMHO is what the goal of religion and/or spirituality should be.

I thought it had heroin in it the first time I saw it. But by the end of the movie I realized that they never actually revealed what was in the briefcase, so it was bugging me. Hmm, and according to someone on Wikipedia, "the briefcase contained an orange lightbulb with a battery." Which makes perfect sense. So I guess I'll need to think of a new question for God.
-
What's in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction? (I think that's the only question I really need to know the answer to. )
-
Yep... every time I saw it in the theater (about six times, when I was 10 years old), and every time I've seen it since...

We make quiche a lot, just using whatever we have, but the basic recipe is: 6 eggs 1 cup of lowfat (2%) milk 1 cup of cheese 2 cups of filling (veggies and/or meat - We usually at least put tomatoes and sauteed onions in it, and whatever else - cooked chicken, broccoli, asparagus, etc.) salt and pepper to taste nutmeg pie crust Beat the eggs, milk, salt & pepper together. Put the cheese and other filling in an unbaked pie crust, and then pour the egg mixture on top of it. Sprinkle a bit of nutmeg on top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.

When you refer to someone as a "druggie," it does not sound like you are referring to a casual user, just as referring to someone as a "drunk" does not imply someone who has the occasional social drink. And, in my opinion, being a "druggie" (coke, heroin, meth, etc. addict) is not exactly a good thing. (And my opinion is not based on hearsay.) You're reading too much into my use of the term druggie. All I meant is one who chooses to use drugs instead of choosing not to use drugs. I did not mean to imply how much or how often. Ok. Well, in that case then I guess I agree with you. Hmm, but I consider alcohol to be a drug, so with that loose of a definition then I guess anyone who drinks alcohol would be a druggie.

Yes, it does.

I just bought the stuff to make those, but I'm afraid I'll eat them all if I make 'em right now.

...and Jimmy on one of the Seinfeld episodes.

I read a little bit about it. Sounds interesting, though I don't know much about animation in general. They also show how it is done on one of the dvd features.
-
I just looked up the trailer for that (http://www.wakinglifemovie.com/trailer.html). Looks like an interesting movie; I'll definitely check that out. Oh, and it looks like it has Glover Gill and Guy Forsyth in it (some of my favorite Austin musicians) - nice.
-
Eww, that part was creeping me out!
-
No, it's not related to that dorky Canadian flick.
-
Just watched this movie last night. It was good, but I'm not sure how it compares to the book since I haven't read the book. The animation (over real acting) was pretty cool. And I thought that the portrayal of the drug culture was pretty true to life. Has anyone else seen this movie? Edited to add a link: http://wip.warnerbros.com/ascannerdarkly/

Umm, I'd consider alcohol to be a much "harder" drug than marijuana, so you might want to clarify that statement. I also think that marijuana should be legal, but I don't smoke it anymore (and have no desire to).

No. I still don't understand why it would bother you if a group of people choose to pray together at the dz. I just don't see any reason why it should affect you.
