So... one of my good friends is taking a "History of Religion" class and her teacher is not going to talk about paganism. The beginning of the class, and religion according to him, started with Judaism. How can anyone ever say that paganism was not the basis of religion when it's well known that polytheism predated monotheism?
chi:
Paganism is more of a class of relgion(s). Other than Christianity or Judaism or Islamism. Mainly consisting of multiple gods (polytheism) and sometimes connected to nature (ie:wicca). It covers a wide range of religions.
So...I can see his view on how it wouldnt be the start since its not a contained religion.

*edited to say*:::being that even still...I dont think he should completley dismiss it as a religion on a whole, since it did spring others from it. I think it is an important part of history and since that the name of the class...."History of Religion, he should definetly include it is his lesson plan.

I loved the books (so very very much) but I don't think it would work as a movie. frown

woah! That will be either awesome or shitty as hell. I am looking forwad to it though.

The special offer was to "original" members who's accounts have lapsed to renew thier membership for a full year for $29.00. I had to take advantage given that I now have internet access again.

So yay, I'm back. biggrin

Update on the PS2:

Yes, I broke it by taking a hammer to it. But in my defense it was broken already. It was an initial release and needed to be put out to pasture. I did manage to snag a new PStwo yesterday though. It's super small and super cool.

... I think I'm in love.

...now back to Ratchet & Clank...

ooooh! New ps2!

Ok... not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Got nerdy with my cousin Monica and talked about computers for a couple hours, watched anime with my cousin Sandra, found the entire collection of Doomed Megolopolis for $5 at Kmart during a search for fire wood, and got...

I broke my PS2. That is to say... it gave me Disc Read Errors for a little over half an hour so I took a sledgehammer to it in a fit of frustration and made its' insides into it's outsides. Now I have to go buy a new one.

I'm getting tired of dumbasses trying to dl stuff from me on soulseek without reading my rules. It;'s simple really... share or be banned. Is that too hard to understand?

P.S.
IMing me and telling me I'm an ass for stopping you from dling is not going to help your case.

So my family wants to meet my gf. Mind you, we've been dating for 7/8 months now and they are barely showing signs of interest. Fuck them. Fuck them in their asses with spiky spoons of doom. Who are they to try and come into my life after abandoning me? Where were they when I was thinking of killing myself? Where were they when I...

How's this for strange:

I ordered Ju-On from Netflix last week. It arrived and all, so I figured "cool... I'll watch it". See, I was scared enough by the American version to actually like so now I wanted to see the original and get super scared. Well, I open the envelope and go to put it in... but it's not Ju-On. Instead they sent me...

Showgirls is absolutely awful. I watched it one night on cable when I was in high school thinking "hey alright! T n' A!" Unfortunately Elizabeth Berkley's character was too much to bear. I know they tried to make her the "tough-independent" chick, which I would have understood and appreciated cuz tough=teh sex(which any SG member will tell you wink ), but she wasn't "tough" or even "sexy" she was just bratty and obnoxious. So not only was she annoying but also the filmakers' attempt to make her a "feminist hero" failed miserably which made it even more agonizing to watch.

So what did I do? What any other virgin in high school would've done.....I hit the MUTE button so I could tune out the dialogue and just watch the parade of flesh. Alas, even the silencing of the audio was not enough to stife the craptasticness of this film. Even though I couldn't hear her, Berkley was still aggravating the hell out of me. I turned the damn TV off listened to some music and went to bed.

I figured your comp has crashed that night. Funny, last time I checked, my Mac, which supposedly "sucks", has never crashed while I was talking on IM with anybody, ever. Hmm.... wink

So my gf and I got in a fight on Firday night. It was during dinner and all so everything was awkward. The thing was that she wasn't paying attention to me. And before you start groaning hear me out.

She's nosey... really nosey. So she's usually looking around at what's going on. I kinda don't mind cause she usually finds stuff for me to...

I was sitting at work today, minding my own business while listening to A Perfect Circle, and I was suddenly reminded of you by one of their songs. I was filled with so many different emotions all at once and didnt really know what to do. I felt so happy remembering the long conversations we would have or the fun we had being flirty and...
