    LOTR has a message in the story?

    I've only seen the movies and admittedly i don't want to read the books because they will ruin the movies for me. I am willing to read the Silmarillion just because the stories predate the movie stories. The two lessons that stick out the most for me is the importance of loyalty and the...

    Music for musics sake

    I can't recall any of Lewis's stuff. I have liked several films with Quade though so I'll probably check that out.

    Deep, philosophical question thread

    Now that you mention it, Hancock is a perfect frame of reference regarding this matter.

    Elvis and the retro 50s

    I was born a whole decade after Elvis died. My earliest memory of him was the episode of Married with Children where Al sweated a silhouette of the King and Peggy made a whole thing out of it.

    Music for musics sake

    Most of the time when it comes to artists i keep their personal and professional lives separate. But there are artists whose personal lives are so bad the two can't be separate. As far as Elvis is concerned, unfortunately there are many artists who made bad choices like that also; Ray Charles...

    Precognitive Dreams Mega thread!

    In Jewish thought, 1/60th of a dream is prophetic. Therefore i wouldn't say anything because i have no way of knowing which elements of the dream are legitimately prophetic.

    E.T.

    Given the projected lifespan of the universe is hundreds of billions of years (last i checked), yes. From our perspective this is very old. But if the universe is going to live for many billions of years, then for the universe itself, 13 billion years is very young.

    E.T.

    I use to think there was not only life on other planets, but humans that naturally evolved on other planets. I have since reconsidered my position in the last several months and have now considered that we may be some of the first sentient life-forms in the universe. The universe is very young...

    Star Wars, sci-fi vs spiritual?

    I was always fascinated by both the force and light sabers. Regarding the force: i honesty do believe there is a real world equivalent. We all possess untapped natural gifts... well, most of us actually. There are those who have learned how to utilize these gifts already. Regarding the light...

    True religion

    But does it say something to the effect of, "you will seek them out and bring them to Me"? "you" being the follower and "Me" being god or something.

    True religion

    i was speaking to someone once and i pointed out that if you look at the Torah, Bible, and the Koran you will find that each do infact have great and important moral teachings in them. Whether or not the respective religions give them any serious consideration is another story all together...

    Love the story and it's a very good example. i wouldn't have considered political influence.

    True religion

    i found that most people in this world spend so much time trying to get others to believe as them, and it doesn't work. On top of that the people their trying to convince are in turn trying to convince others of their beliefs as well. Everyone is trying to convince each other and no one is...

    True religion

    i thought you meant about how Chabad makes it sound like their Torah is unique and even the only true Torah.
