Am I the only one who thinks it was overrated? I'm not christian (agnostic), so I wasn't bothered by the subject matter, I just don't think the book itself was all that special. It wasn't bad, just not good enough to deserve all...

RigelK The controversies in the catholic church have to do with priests molesting children and the church moving them around to hide this from people. That has nothing to do with the Davinci Code. And I'm sorry, but if when you talk about "real history" you're...

This has bothered me for many years and I need help to try to understand. This discussion is not meant to fire anyone up or get an argument started but for my peace of mind I need to understand why there is even a choice to be...

RigelK As far as livintx49, his point may be more "valid", but it's not an argument against my argument. Or for it for that matter. To be an argument against my position someone would have to say that I was wrong, and that a Doctor will amputate a limb just because...

RigelK Apparently you have a problem with reading comprehension. You said something (drunk driving leading to death) was complex. I explained why I thought it was simple, and asked why you thought it was complex. You then responded defensively that you thought every...

RigelK Whether my statement is arrogant or not is irrelevant. It's correct. You can't just go to a Doctor and get a limb hacked off if you feel like it. You require a medical justification. Feel free to ask any Doctor you like whether or not he could take a limb...

RigelK RE: drunk driving causing death being "complicated". How is this complicated? If you drink, then drive and are responsible for an accident, and in that accident someone dies, you've committed murder. Not on the same level as someone who intended to murder...

RigelK Sorry, but you're wrong. No Doctor would agree to amputate a limb without some medical justification. If one did he would be put in prison for assault. If you attemted to amputate you're own (except for extraordinary circumstances such as the guy who has...

ok,agnostics, if a vacuum has force and that force is inward, and space is a vacuum, it seems to me that all universal material should be moving inward toward the center of the vacuum. Instead, scientists say that the universe is...

RigelK I was going to comment re vacuum and gravity, but since Urban decay already handled that (and very well btw), I'll go at it from another angle. You titled this discussion '"proof of life". But all this talk of gravity, collapsing universes and so on is...

Who's your favorite author and why? For me it's Robert A. Heinlein. He taught me how to think.

RigelK Mainly science fiction. His most famous book was Strnger in a Strange Land. It came out in 1961 and a lot of people credit it with kicking of the Sixties.
