Thanks, I'm pretty open minded though so I don't forsee anything testing my faith.

Welcome to the board!!!
Forgive my ignorance, but what is "hubris"??

Namaste:bounce


i asked him earlier and he wrote:
Hubris is a common theme in Greek tragedies and mythology, whose stories often featured protagonists suffering from hubris and subsequently being punished by the gods for it. In Greek law, it most often refers to violent outrage wreaked by the powerful upon the weak. In poetry and mythology, the term was used of those individuals esteeming themselves as equal to or greater than the gods. Hubris was often the "tragic flaw", or Hamartia, of characters in Greek drama.

There was also a goddess called Hubris (or Hybris), the embodiment of the above concept, insolence, lack of restraint and instinct. She spent most of her time among mortals.


just thought i'd save you waiting....

I used to spend a lot of time on the religious section of the freeconservatives forum but got bored of the fundamentalist arguments so I just did a google search for 'religious forums' and this site was the first search result :)
