I LOVE FIREFOX. in the past couple months with firefox i have had only three problems: 1. frames loaded incorrectly at Ozark Electric (right hand side should be full of content, as is in IE6sp1) 2. http://www.windowsupdate.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx does not allow update through firefox 3. McAfee Internet Security Suite required IE to update virus definitions and adware definitions are there workarounds for issues such as these? thanks, siddharthacomplex ------------- Jipman : I don't think this has something to do with security issues or exploits, moving to software -> internet & network clients

quote taken from the catholic encyclopedia I didn't realize catholicism went so far to declare what is and isn't holy for people.

no doubt this material earth is as close to purgatory as i wish to imagine! there is definitely evidence that the idea of a torturous afterlife is entirely fictional, beginning with Dante's Inferno. there is also evidence that the words that were translated into 'hell' in the english version of the bible were in fact descriptions of burial sites, with no connotation of punishment, eternal damnation, or judgment in general. although i'm not very well read on this subject, i have come across some who believe purgatory to be a fear tactic designed by the church (keep in mind the times were far different from what they are now, the churchmembers were the ruling class, and were themselves venerated by many to a more 'godly' status). similar to the theory that the more we are convinced of imminent terrorism on the other side of the water, the less we'll pay attention to the indescretions of our own body of government. the way i see it (butchered quote from jesus) 'he who believes in light and resurrection shall never die.'

Very thoughtful post solrac. i appreciate a unified view such as yours.

here's an excerpt from the post i linked above, and again below: Good Post religion is such politics it makes me want to sacrifice my lunch. WIKIPEDIA CHRISTIANITY CATHOLICISM <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

thanks, treefrog, i didn't know about papal writings... the saints are on my reading list immeditately. my initial reaction, (although i am wary of these) is that excellent models of life have been written throughout history by members of such a wide variety of faiths that it would be difficult for me to structure myself to a centuries old orthodoxy. i should note, however, that i didn't structure well to high school either. btw, does anyone know if there's truth to this glanced upon rumor of bones being held as relics in the vatican? Good Post WIKIPEDIA CHRISTIANITY CATHOLICISM

Here it is shahidiimran

Don't know all the precise beliefs that differ, but in my estimation it boils down something like this:Ages ago scriptures were written, some of which were later compiled in a book we now know of as the bible.Many people follow these scriptures as a religion, Catholicism being one. Christianity is like the term kleenex, coke, or band aid. It doesn't have to be a specific brand to call it by that name. Within Christianity there are hundreds of denominations, divided from each other almost entirely by their divergent interpretations of scripture.This effectively opposes people against each other, which to me goes against spiritual common sense. Arguing about someone elses description of events 2000 years ago isn't my cup of tea.That said, Jesus sure was a heck of a good guy it seems.

Oh my gosh yes I agree entirely. Firefox is the heavyweight champion IMO. Extensions galore, themes galore, support galore, security, ease of use, stumbleupon extension is brilliant, can't say enough. Slimbrowser is also excellent, and there's always lynx!!

A question like that must be answered with a list. And why stop at snes? In no particular order: NES ===== Marble Madness Dr. Mario Klax Mario 3 Pipe Dreams SNES ===== Street Fighter 2 Super Smash TV NHL 97 Super Tecmo Bowl F-Zero 64 ===== Mario Golf F-Zero X Bond 007 Wetrix Sega Saturn ===== Virtua Fighter Nights Into Dreams (best game of all time) Dreamcast ===== Crazy Taxi Tokyo Extreme Racer PC ===== Tetris Counter Strike Half Life 2 Call Of Duty Doom 3 Diablo 2
