    perhaps a bit heavy on the 'simple' part.

    Simplicity is the nature of the world, complex is nothing more than misdirected focus.
    Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

    In the end, it meant nothing.

    Ching - Arguments by analogy are only viable if there's something other than the analogy holding them up.

    Hey Braden - I've been working, and will need to get back to you on New Testament quotes. While I do not agree with some of your conclusions, I do agree that the new testament is fairly revoloutionary in terms of middle eastern theology.

    It'll be fun.

    For anyone who was offended by my statements, I meen you no discomfort. Just keep an open mind and don't beleive everything people say to you. Read, study, ask the uncomnfortable questions.

    Religion

    You know, I was gonna stay out of the religious chat, and just sit back and laugh as usual, but this caught my attention:

    "If you can describe it, it ain't God." - Rev

    I'm very happy with that reasoning. - Braden

    Would either of you like to explain how you can believe in something that you can't describe? I'd be interested to hear the answer.

    said 'Hey, hows it going?'. So I grabbed his arm and twisted
    it up behind his head and said 'Now whose asking the questions?'" - Jack Handey

    I can't describe a black hole, or the realms of our universe.

    Let's say I have never had an orgasm. And you have. Let's further say that you are a world-renowned urologist - in fact, you specialize in human male sexual activity, and you have achieved absolute perfection in your field. What could you possibly say to me which would 'describe' an orgasm sufficiently that I would then understand what it was to experience one?

    Need to remember that one for the next Qi Thread.

    I could attempt to explain, but I'd just tell you instead to go have an orgasm. Belief in a god is different. You can't have someone "experience" belief in a god; they believe, not sure, or they don't. An orgasm is a physiological response to certain stimuli, of course it's different for all people, just like religions are. But back to the original question, how do you know that something(a god) exists if you can't describe it? If you can't descibe it, then how can you experience it?

    "If you can't descibe it, then how can you experience it?"

    Didn't you agree at the beginning of that paragraph that you can experience things you can't describe, like an orgasm?
