Given the increasing illiteracy, lack of intellectual depth, and inarticulateness of the last two generations, I am not so sanguine. | ||||

...ah, then this: http://www.newsweek.com/id/70983 "There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running around with lit matches." -RB On a lighter note: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pyjRj3UMRM&feature=related | ||||

"Jesus in the desert alone with temptation was a single divine presence. We, this year, with the Millennium commencing, are multitudinous lemmings driven by wireless voices to hurl ourselves into Internet seas where tides of mediocrity surge, pretending at wit and will but signify nothing." -RB As long as the new type of book is still truely a book, and not some extension of the "blog" or some other such invention.

It's been said that enough monkeys wielding enough typewriters would eventually reproduce all the world's classics. The internet has proven this untrue. | ||||
|
Nico: Ray needs to re-open that Bible of his. The temptations Jesus suffered were not his own, but all of mankind. Christ had it leaps and bounds beyond the tides of voices of the internet. | ||||

Was I on some sort of vacation or something when this came out? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HicaK7NTHQI | ||||

Dandy, what an article! $o what i$ Nicole Kidman'$ motivation, ultimately. Maybe, $he i$ $imply comfortable with the fact the movie "It i$n't ALL anti-Catholic." | ||||

Quite. I think I won't be seeing Mr Pullman's story come to life on the screen, nor will I open his books. Anyone who says the following about Jack Lewis is not worthy of my further consideration - I may not embrace Lewis's conservative Christian views, but you cannot argue his merits as a writer. Pullman, writing in The Guardian on the occasion of Lewis's centenary in 1998, said the Narnia books are "one of the most ugly and poisonous things I have ever read," with "no shortage of nauseating drivel." To the contrary Mr Pullman, the Narnia books are seven of the most beautiful and atoxic things I have ever read. So there. "Live Forever!" | ||||

Maybe someone can convince Pullman to do a book about Muhammad along the same lines. http://www6.comcast.net/news/articles/general/2007/11/2.../?cvqh=itn_teddybear | ||||

Cute, Nard...very cute! | ||||
|
Although the article has several valid points, such a magazine is obviously paranoid and biased. Email: ordinis@gmail.com | ||||
|
Clearly it's biased toward Christianity from its very title. "Live Forever!" | ||||
|
NICO "Christianity TODAY" is biased and paranoid? Really? Well, then, let me ask you a question: What do you think of Muhammad the Prophet? | ||||
|
I think he was a merchant who started a religion. It was going along great, until he died and the cultural taboos and practices of the people a few hundred miles north of his deathbed were added (I.E. required dress, stigma against educating women) to his religious texts (both the Quaran, which was meant to remain unaltered, and the hadiths.)My guess is that the original version of the Quaran was almost as different from today's version as the Bible was from it's common versions today. But what do I THINK of him? I never met him, so I cannot say. Email: ordinis@gmail.com | ||||
