The earliest recorded use of the Cathlolic Church was about 100 a.d. which to my knowledge far supersedes any other Christian sect still practicing today. Unless of course you're referring to Christian faith which existed during the short period before the existence of the formal church as we know it today... which I would argue doesn't have ANY followers. At least, no one who attendsby Rade - OT Board

The Old Testament suggests that if you collect sticks on the Sabbath that you are to be put to death, however Jews seem to have assimilated quite well into our modern American culture.by Rade - OT Board
QuoteillademnTo be honest, I don't know how you can get much more personal than receiving the Godhead -- body, blood, flesh, soul, and divinity -- in the Eucharist. The Sacraments are all direct channels for the grace of God; even though the priest pronounces the words of absolution, it is obviously God who must forgive sins. And praying to the saints, or more accurately, asking the saintsby Rade - OT Board
The candidates with lots of national appeal on both sides: Clinton, Obama, Giuliani, etc. needed to focus on the local polls in Iowa. Huckabee, alternatively, has good local support but relatively poor national support. The Leno move was intended to bolster some national support.

QuoteIsildur 4. sound or correct in opinion or doctrine, esp. theological or religious doctrine. 5. conforming to the Christian faith as represented in the creeds of the early church. So far we've gone from: By Christian, I meant Orthodox Christian, and by Orthodox I meant to exclude the single largest and one of the oldest sects of Christians in the world.

QuoteNot especially. Or, rather, not specifically because they were Muslim, and not specifically because of his "supposed" religious beliefs. I think he crapped on a few people of Middle-Eastern heritage for political reasons, not because they were Muslim.

There's countless laws from the racist, bigoted, jealous tyrant of a God in the Old Testament which are quite counter to the laws of the land in this country. (apologists need not apply) It's true that the laws of this country will not be suitable for Muslim people in all parts of the world, but the Muslims that do live here seem to do so quite effortlessly with respect to keeping tby Rade - OT Board
That's because you live in a predominately Christian country. It's whollistically different to denounce a faith because you don't believe it and to have it as a statement of policy when you run as the President of the United States. In particular that he felt it necessary to convey that message in a policy section which has absolutely nothing to do with religion whatsoever.by Rade - OT Board
While Baptists and such take the direct line to God the Catholic sects and their close protestant relatives do not really have a personal God anywhere near what is commonly practiced in Islam. Praying for the favor of saints and asking priests to convey the message of penance for sins are to prime examples of the God abstraction in Catholicism.by Rade - OT Board

I can't really figure out what the draw is to Clinton besides some sort of rose-colored glasses view with regards to the first Clinton administration. As for Huckabee, I guess there's still more single-issue voters than I give credit for and honestly I was hoping they'd go for Paul (which shows my own bias). Romney is also doing well on the Repub side, almost as well as Huckaby Rade - OT Board

So when I bought my new MP3 player I wanted to make sure I could play eAudio books available for download from my county's library website. They use wma with DRM so I made sure my MP3 player supported WMA DRM and Playsforsure. I've tried sending my music files using the included software, using BB Music Store (recommended music store by the mp3 player vendor), and using WMP 11 to no aby Rade - OT Board

In my experience if the mob has time to decide then it will usually attack the pc with the lowest charisma. Other things may come into play such as morale or alignment. It seems to follow the generic "I'm aggro against all the PCs in this room" code under those circumstances which means weighted randomness. Again, YMMVby Rade - Main Board

First, it's almost as cheap these days to buy a Dell or something rather than mess with it yourself. If you buy one on sale it usually is cheaper than buying yourself. SOP around here is buy a Dell, upgrade the video card/memory yourself. Barring that, here's my advice: Asus is the right choice for the motherboard. As for the proc, get a core 2 duo instead of the AMD. Poundby Rade - OT Board
