is it? i suppose it is. thomas locke was wronge about me. there's nothing rasa about my tabula. if i had any remorse whatsoever, i go about in a cloake of sorrow, as atonement for my transgressions. but, i do not.

and 'scoots' to 'shows'.

That doesn't answer my question at all. You've simply replaced the phrase "I believe in my heart" with "I have faith (and trust) in". Look at this: Nobody's asking you to *know for sure*. I just want to know whether "having faith that X" *is a reason* for believing that X is true. Not a proof that 'X' is true. Do you or don't you think that having faith that X is a reason (not necessarily an overpowering reason; it's enough that it provides SOME reason) to believe that 'X' is true?

Sorry about the ellipses. I understand what you're saying and "believe in my heart" probably wasn't the best expression to use, since I guess the simple use of the word faith would have been better. I guess that would sum things up I think... faith. From what I've gathered, you have faith in the bible just as I do. And you're probably right, I really don't know for sure, about parts of the Koran and the Bible contradicting each other. But, I have faith in what I believe in. I don't know for sure whether what I believe in is true or not, right or wrong. All I have to go on is my faith in it. Faith and trust. I hope this explains it. I hope

what...I can't understand this...too many...ellipses... Look. You may well "feel" that what the Bible says is true, but that is no basis for *asserting* that it's true. If you say that what the Bible says is true, it follows that you say that part of what the Koran says is not true, since some of what the Bible says contradicts some of what the Koran says. But people who say that all of what the Koran says is true feel it is true just as much as you feel that what the Bible says is true. You can't both be right, so either you're wrong, they're wrong, or you're both wrong. It seems hard to argue for either of the first two cases, since by your admission the *only* thing we have to go on in this case is what people "feel" is true, and neither side has an advantage in this respect. For lack of evidence, then, I can only conclude that you're both wrong. Replying to this by saying "I don't care if it's logical or not; I just believe in my heart that it's true" will not make sense. Unless, that is, you are not only using a magical, vague notion of "believe" but also a magical, vague notion of "is true". I would like a definition of what it is to believe 'X' in one's heart. As far as I can tell this is just another way of saying you "feel" that 'X' is true. If so, I would like an explanation of how "feeling" that 'X' is true is different from "believing" that 'X' is true. I would also like to hear what you mean by "is true". My necessary and sufficient conditions are: 'X' is true if and only if X. Please tell me your necessary and sufficient conditions for proposition 'X' to be true.

I used the bible to make my point... how do you know it's telling the truth? not because someone told you that it's true... it's because that you believe it is... no basis to place it... you just feel it... that's the point I was making... what I believe in is what I was taught at home, but more than that... I believe it in my heart... so if you find it "gay", I'm sorry... and for the record, I am a gentleman or at least I try to be...

uhhhh... thanks horus... I think...

F = MA. THINK ABOUT THAT.

Nicely done! Submit that one, it rocks!

Deep in the Batcave, the operation takes place. Fear Robo-Batman.

Either you are a psychology expert or your mystical insights into my mind are BS. No, I don't agree. 'Dead Boy' is about as far from 'Gothic' as you can get. To illustrate the difference, I have rewritten it in a 'Gothic' style. You might want to check it out!!!!!!!1

and eviltwin you should know..i heard last weak in the steam romm you gave a three day oration on the topic of "cads and why they diddle with theres and everyone elses poopers and how to properly insert the ancient staff of Yor!" yes sir evil you have your finger on the pulse of just what is and just what isn't 'stupid' these days, and that's why you have my trust and scrotismil dedication for a treat later if you'd like. really

Thanks for the comment Frass. :o) Regarding the snipers... I think that the strongest people from Maryland should tie ropes around their arms and the strongest people from Virginia should tie ropes around their legs... take them in the middle of the widest part of the potomac river... and hve themselves a lil tug-o-war... whoever gets them to their side, gets to try them. How does that sound? :o)
