Im too tired to put any thought into my next response. All I can say is, we both have different thought modes and will just continue arguing based upon our individual thought processes.

I guess I can acknowledge that Christianity tries to create absolutes within its own belief system. As long as Christians at all times realise that that is all it is - one belief system amongst many, where no one system is absolutely correct.

I just cant understand why anyone would think God doesnt like them or hates them, or anyone can be born into sin. God loves us all, regardless of anything. We are born into perfection.

I think we should stop the discussion for now, I don't want to derail Lucid_Boy's topic any further.

Why can't you just accept that The bible was written by men, to control men. And to be a book of law for the culture. By your logic, every religion in the world is wrong except Christianity. Why is that? Why can't the atheists be right? Why can't the Hindus be right?

This is not to say that i do in fact endorse those religions

You also claim that sin is universal, yet is clear that is changes with culture, and religion!

It would have been a much more interesting topic if we had just discussed the book, which really is an excellent story for those who haven't read it.

The movie based on it is awesome too. It is called Charlie, and Cliff Robertson plays the lead role. Robertson is very good at playing Charlie as a retarded person and as a genius. (I assumed he was retarded. I haven't seen it since I was in the seventh grade.)

Yea it was a good movie, but the book was really good. Was that Cliff Robertson? I'm not remembering that right.

The guy was retarded, then they made him smart. I don't want to say anything else because it will ruin it. The book is not very long, so I recommend reading it.

Whoops, I actually posted that? Well, as a rule, I don't. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, that was my first post here. And this, hopefully, is my last.

Ceci n'est pas une message.

So it was, UM. I read the little synopsis; I really don't remember the mouse being retarded too.

I think I'm retarded, I can't remember anything.

Anyway--it's a really good book! I give everyone here the assignment of reading it. :teacher:

I wouldn't go for the option of brain-enhancement because:

1. My current brain is more than sufficient
2. It all ended very very badly in the book, so I don't see why it would work for me.

Poor Algernon...
