Yeah but in these days of corporatocracy, who wants to actually provide better service to their consumers (since it's the shareholders, not the consumers, who they see as their customers), instead of just jacking up the prices and LOWERING service?
I call that the "Red Herring Theory" - I was at one point very vocal about it (I was at that point rabidly a fundie). It went something like this:
1. "If science and the Bible differ, science is wrong"
2. "Dinosaur fossils were placed in the Earth by God to lead nonbelievers further astray, while believers see them as being nothing more than that and retain their faith"
(Let's face it, fundies are too blinded by their superstitions to see the truth, even when it's in their own scriptures.)
The problem is, how would you know it was god and not some advanced life form? Ancient humans with smaller brains would consider us or our mysterious technology 'gods'. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Any sufficiently advanced sorceror is indistinguishable from a deity...
It's interpolated into 1 John 5.7-8 in the Vulgate and later editions of the TR. (Both of these translations are based on the textus receptus, by the way)
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood, a nd these three agree in one." (1 John 5.7-8 KJV)
"For there are three that give witness: the spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three are one." (1 John 5.7-8 CTT)
Trinity belief is only biblical if you rely on a mangled Bible. (That's from someone who believes in Byzantine primacy.)
Maybe, but just about every ISP blocks port 80 inbound these days, and I *need* static IP, so I'd rather pony up more for the $79.95 business account, instead of the $37.95 residential.
Nah, it's worse (imho) than copyright infringement.
Most of us who casually infringe copyright don't delete the existing copyright notices and claim the stuff to be our own. These people do, making it plagiarism, which to me is copyright infringement compounded by *fraud*. I could care less about copyright infringement myself, but woe betide anyone who takes my work and calls it theirs!
Any rate, I've got a//e, I don't use it much anymore though. (Working on getting a good emu up on my DS, PomDS's text mode looks like shit) It's a mostly stock Platinum, with two Unidisks, and a Z80 card.
