"God will not suffer man to have the knowledge of things to come; for if he had prescience of his prosperity he would be careless; and understanding of his adversity he would be senseless."

You are Augustine! You love to study tough issues and don't mind it if you lose sleep over them. Everyone loves you and wants to talk to you and hear your views, you even get things like "nice debating with you." Yep, you are super smart, even if you are still trying to figure it all out. You're also very honest, something people admire, even when you do stupid things.

What theologian are you?

A creation of Henderson

Augustine is one of the biggies... a master of rhetoric, and a brilliant author. I read a lot of his stuff when I went through my "apocryphal philosophy" phase a few years back. I'm not in great agreement with much of what he's written, but he's a fantastic thinker and analyst. I'd like to see who the other answers returned..

Aliens was on AMC last night... It features an orange cat named Jones, a little girl named Newt, and probably the first reasonable use of human form mechs as forklifts...Not to mention it being a sequel that was totally different from the movie that spawned it, but was still good. (from lurking horror to action/terror) The first two movies are the only ones that exist to my mind... the others are just crapola.

Hmm... 20 minutes of previews before the movie? That doesn't bother me, as long as they keep the lights at dim, rather than dark. I'd prefer to be able to navigate into my seat later.

Keith Parkinson Online a capable fantasy artist... he’s' done good work on Book covers, Everquest, TSR stuff and Magic the gathering cards. He started out looking like Larry Elmore (who I'm not fond of) but developed a style that's well suited for the genre, now.

Lots of wonderful rain and cool wind this weekend. A delight... makes it all the more worthwhile to stay in, read and rest, though my sleep schedule is a little out of whack now. I'm only stepping out long enough to pick up my scrip. today.

NASA scientists have just released new predictions for the 2002 Leonid meteor storm. The 2002 Leonid meteor shower peaks at 0400 UT and 1030 UT on Nov. 19th... Looks like 4am my local time is the best for me to view.

I am in Denver, Sea Oh...

and this pre-movie advertising has been going on for years. Its stock in every theater we go to, and then I read the article and the company is from Denver, so no big surprise. Its lame and Coca-Cola driven (we are second to Atlanta in roll out markets). They throw in a little movie trivia which is lame. Trust me the lights will be on. No worries. It isn't like they are rolling trailers for 20 minutes!

I'm glad that I'll be able to find my way around!

He's considerably more recent than John Calvin and Augustine, that's for sure!

I've only touched briefly on his works, but they appear quite powerful. Seeing as he died in '68, it looks like he outlived the reich!

I tell you, with the internet, it's so very easy to get wormed into a number of different back-alleys of knowledge. Google is especially helpful for that.

I know that I'd miss my trips to the library a good deal more if that sort of reference wasn't available at your fingertips.

You're quite welcome, and thank you for the coompliment!
