To any of you folks you used the old stuff, People will now unfortunately call y'all the "prays for sure" bunch.
I hear wild laughter from the fruit empire off in the distance....
I was pretty excited about Serenity at first. Then I watched Firefly series. I think I've pieced this baby together...
I think that River's character is silly, and it torpedoes this whole series/movie franchise. And, I think that "Serenity" was an attempt to salvage her character among other things. Before you all go fanboy on me, you have to admit that all she did in the series was scream, "Auuuuughuuuuahah!" and hold her head in pain when anyone so much as thought a bad thought or ate a hamburger with too much lettuce. That's pretty much all she did. Hold her head and scream stuff. Boooo-ring.
Then Serenity came along. They added a "kick-butt" aspect to her character. They had to, because you can probably get away with a chick screaming "Auuuuuuughuaaaahhh!" all the time for no reason on TV, but the big screen's another story. While she took care of all those reavers in the most kick-buttedness way, I could hardly imagine the River of Firefly doing anything remotely like that. (She probably would have just sat there and held her head screaming, while the reavers ate the rest of the crew.)
Agreed.... Notes has an extremely non-intuitive interface- like a horde of unrelated children all trying to get along. Yes, I HAVE used it. (been forced to)
Granted, I used it several versions ago, but even if it has improved a little why would anyone get excited about Notes? Why do companies still even use it? Is anyone buying the illusion that it has any kind of future?
Am I the only one that sees that this car is entirely unpractical?
Sorry, for that ridiculous price I'll take the expensive gas. This car will be long gone from the market by the time it would even begin to come down in price.
C'mon, people. Invent a solution that people would actually buy.
The Gospel of Judas sheds a different kind of light on the whole story.
Nope, it doesn't. It was considered heretical back then, (by early church leaders such as Irenaeus) as it should be today. The church has encountered many "so called" gospels in the past and present, written by sects and offshoot gnostic groups. It was never circulated around the early churches as an authentic letter from the apostles and never meant for their churches' edification.
While of historical value, it is erroneous to just consider the contents of any sect's "gospel" a 'fact' just because you'd like to get a few Christians upset.:)
. Those people who "don't get it" are the ones who wrote the New Testament. It's even worse with the Old Testament, where the documents we have now are even farther removed from what was written closer to the time of the events described,
Nonsense. This comment represents a superiority complex of modern western society, where stuff is simply "written down" more frequently. Eyewitnesses of Christ (and those who travelled with them) are the best people to write about Christ, even if a decade or two after the fact.
This is easily explained by the fact that early eyewitnesses expected Christ to return in their lifetimes, and didn't expect that there would be a 2nd generation of the church that they'd have to pass stuff down to. But when the apostles aged, they wrote it down. So the eyewitnesses waited a little longer. That's OK.
Also, as we find more ancient documents, translations get only better. 1,000's of manuscripts in Greek too, not manuscripts gone through 10 languages first. This is a common but easily refuted misconception.
It's amazing how a thread having nothing to do with the Bible quickly became a Bible-bashing thread.

I'm just glad they discovered how to regrow chicken wings before the Super Bowl and NCAA championships.
I knew you were going to type that.
When are they going to junk this flying heap of 1960's technology??? I'm sorry, but $500m per launch and they're worried about a date rollover?
Reminds me of this short story:

Sooner or later, the ACLU is going to deem the constitution unconstitutional.
Let's face it, they are a political organization, and not nonpartisan by any means.
Youtube is now owned by G$$gle. Now watch those lawsuits fly!
