Deism makes more sense. See www.deism.com. However, even so, I suspect god doesn't exist anyway. Actually, christianity is absurd. Deism makes more sense.

Incompleteness
by Rebecca Goldstein

Godel’s theorem is at once complex and beautiful. Struggling through it will make you realize just how wonderfully complex the mind is and how complexity is required to understand truth. To say that most issues associated with Christianity are quite simple takes for granted the complex nature of the system that can even say, erroneously, that most issues associated with Christianity are quite simple.

Tennyson would have better said: "For not all worthy proving can be proven..." This was written on a 17" MacBook Pro Core Duo. I know that I exist with certainty, and to me, that is worth believing.

On the other hand, sometimes I think solutions are more simple than people want to admit." Most issues to do with Christianity are quite simple. Only the mysteries taught in theological colleges give the impression of 'complexity.' The Bible places before us God's great plan from the time of Creation to the time of physical rebirth in the Kingdom of God. It works methodically through several phases toward the realisation of the ultimate ideal - the Kingdom of God on earth. The unscriptural doctrines of the Trinity, Miraculous Incarnation, etc, serve no purpose other than to make understanding of the Kingdom plan quite impossible.

It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

XP works just fine for me. I agree with Jeff up there that I will stick with XP for another 5 - 8 years until I finally get a Mac. I have no reason at all to switch to Vista.

After reading the book (Adventures in Shopping The Story of Trader Joe's) I learned that Trader Joe's is owned by Aldi in Germany. Aldi is Bentonville's worst nightmare, since they sell it cheaper and stack it higher than Bentonville Alias "Wal-Mart". Trader Joe's is in population areas of high wealth, diverse groups, LOTS OF PEOPLE, lots of different people, but mainly LOTS of people (mainly Blue State People, my own analysis) who seem to appreciate organic, unique , private label goods. They rent low out of favor retail space--which we have plenty to choose from in Texas---especially Abilene, and they do about $1200 per ft in sales per yr vs 400 in Wal-mart. My guess: Austin would be there first location. Then Houston. Aldi might be sooner, closest Aldi's is Okla City. Yes some are raving fans of Aldi's. I am of Trader Joe's. $2buck Chuck may one day make it to the Lone Start Longneck State. Nothing Redmond or Bentonville can produce can beat OS-X, the new version will be years ahead of Redmond.

Never heard of Vista, OS-X or Trader Joe's (or McGrath, for that matter)! So...I'm not really sure why I'm commenting on this one, just thought that was funny. Through my weakness he is made strong. Does that apply to ignorance as well? :) Wow, I’m really out of the loop over here. Never heard of Vista, OS-X or Trader Joe’s (or McGrath, for that matter)!
