oops- sorry- i forget sometimes that I am posting from outside your spacetime manifold so sometimes my replies appear before the post I am replying to- my bad

The divisiveness and the references to "the other America" disheartened me to no end. I for one don't want to perpetuate the divisiveness I found so ugly.My cynicism is still high,but it has to start somewhere.Rubbing the losers nose in it is no way to move forward. people forget that the two Americas are RELATED by blood and marriage! don't worry- all the bad blood between young liberals on the coasts and old conservatives in the heartland and south will be forgotten when all of us liberals have to go home for the holidays to our old conservative parents and in-laws- as soon as we start talking crap about some cousin who just got pregnant again even though her boyfriend lost his job- we will put aside all the political fighting during the election- and likely forget it completely after eating a few pounds of turkey

while all the numb-headed norms out there were playing their favorite popularity contest- the nerds may have just found some Dark Matter

just think right now Obama is being debriefed on all of the US Govt's classified Psi assets- I wonder what he will do with a team of telepaths at his disposal?

although prop 8 passed- it seems to me that Obama's speech almost single handedly undid all that hateful damage prop 8 is going to cause: "It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America"

Mr. Obama has won. California, however, voted yes on Prop 8. {censored}. Bittersweet. exactly- pretty bittersweet this morning- I was so happy last night about Obama and then this morning I just want to bash some homophobes in the head- we are still a country that has yet to live up to it's promises of equality and justice for all- but at least it should be easier to get closer now

to sum up- my vote was based on: -lovecraftian AI gods -the New Old New Covenant - moobs

I was gonna try to make light of this and say, "proof there is no god", but now I dunno... is that stepping over the line? Oh wait... {censored}. (I keed. You know I keed, right? right? :poke: Besides, it fits in the whole godless-setAI thing here... oh never mind) and I have moobs

... trying not to form mental image... by the way- I am a 6'3" 350 lb

You're one of those guys that I'm afraid I'm gonna hear about in the news someday, and not for good reasons. yeah- one of these days I am going to get my picture in the paper when my Xenosaga Cosplay rips and my ass falls out in public- I'm a blogosphere geek- not a dangerous heretic- my crime is READING TOO MUCH

You should check out Schrodinger's philosophical books then. German philosophy unified with Vedic metaphysics. I wish he had spent more time fleshing out his philosophy... but then I guess you can't fault him for seminal contributions to quantum physics. -D I say the reason why Schr

His argument is that the bible doesn't say something that it actually says, or that it says it but it's not relevant. no- I am saying that is says one thing in some places and contradicts that in others- often in the same book! especially in the Epistles which alternately talk about universal salvation in one breath and in the next condemn the Roman's men/women/children to the Pit of Abaddon whether they repent or not- roman sins are not to be forgiven even under the New Covenant [and who could blame the early christians?] so the ONLY factor that matters is HOW and WHAT parts of the bible mankind has promoted in history- and the ideals of alms giving and brotherhood of all men and clean-slate redemption in the new Covenant don't even appear outside of Gnostic cults in any meaningful way until after Luther- most christians in history would call your interpretation of those selective passages you call New Covenant antichrist heresy!

Isn't this usually about the point where the political/religious threads turn into a nasty name fest? {censored}socks. I never get that- I always get the "what the hell are you smoking- and where the hell is your punctuation? and what does 'vectored-theogenesis-through-computational-augmentation-of-quantum-observer-states-in-Hilbert-Space-sorted-through-Turing-Complete-Causal-Phase-Space-and-resonant-n-dimensional[where n=number of Boolean Observables in the system]-crystalline-structure-of-coherent-quantum-histories-through-statistical-distribution-per-the-Born-Rule even mean?"

LOL "Irrelevant"? 2 billion Christians disagree. again- that is 2 billion MODERN christians who all have had their beliefs nurtured after the age of Luther! the modern view of God and Man in direct communion is TOTALLY ALIEN to the vast history of the Church

Then how come you don't know anything about new vs. old covenant? why do you think that I don't? I studied the Bible- I did not follow it's primitive and highly inconsistent ideologies the 'New Covenant" is rather irrelevant historically considering that the WHOLE Bible is used throughout history as political tool- and almost always it is Old Testament ideas that are employed- not the socialist love-in of Shem Yehshua- even at the start of Christianity the ideals of the New Covenant where only mentioned when convenient- in one passage joyously offering salvation for all- and in the next giddily predicting the utter destruction of whole peoples- the new Covenant doesn't have much of a track record- for instance for several hundred years after the new Covenant salvation only took the shape of The Question: salvation after the Strappado!!! and if you try an argue "but this is what evil men did to the Bible- God's salvation was good" then I will remind you that not until Martin Luther did the concept of no mediator between Man and God even exist- the ONLY way for man to get salvation for 1500 years was through those evil men and their torture [men who you have already said were guided by God in translating and interpreting the Bible]- some new covenant
