As an aside... Ever wondered how the monotheistic view of Judaism, Christianity and Islam seems to Hindus - an extremely polytheistic religion? Whole different topic, I guess. But one that would be very worthwhile to explore, Mahima, at least in my humble opinion. I can't think of a suitable topic ...

Cerin, I'm just not sure that this distinction is really valid. Islam has been around for centuries and it is only since the 1970's that terrorism per se has been a tactic used by Moslem radicals, and only since the 1990s that it has been linked in this very direct way to religious belief. If I sit...

Maybe as a christian you find it unthinkable that Benedict does not share the Emperor's views - but for me, as an outsider, it is believable. Why would you, unless you start out from a position that believes the worst of someone? I think if you assume hostile intentions by default, then there's no ...

I don't find it at all surprising that many vote the extreme rightwing parties who promise to take special care of all the indigenous people, chuck out the annoying strangers, so that everyone who's local can have a job again, and who also promise a safe value system, based on caring for its own an...

Benedict has stated, publically, (since then) that he does not share the views of the emperor. In case there was any doubt of that. Exactly - how come there could be any doubt of it in the first place is what is beyond me. Well, why not? Maybe as a christian you find it unthinkable that Benedict do...

I have made progress with God's Debris. Did anyone else find the switch from discussing the universe to how one should behave with people, and relationships between men and women really weird? And abrupt? Or is it not? Is it that we always will come down to these topics whatever we may be discussing...

Being in India, so-called alternative healing processes come very natural to me. Ginger, yoghurt, turmeric, garlic, asofaetida... these are oft-used curing techniques. I was doing Yoga for a couple of years and it really helped my migraine. Like a dumb-wit I have stopped and now have to restart ( :x...

Re: Siege of Minas Tirith vs The Siege of Belgrade
Can you imagine how horrible it must be for Hunyadi - great strong warrior fighting off the Turks - surviving for glory - and then Ooops...Then Hunyadi contracted a disease from the Turk soldiers and died (married an elf).
Guess he wasn't a "real" King (a.k.a. Healer)
