depends on the game you like, and if you like to play games over. Personally i love the game it's fablous with beautiful graphics, and hard puzzles. If you don't like puzzles, don't get this game. If you didn't like ICO, don't get this game. Though this is WAY better then ICO. plus it's sooo easy to get use to. though at certain times it makes you feel retarded because the puzzle was really simple and your expecting it to be all complex. But yes you should get it, though i played it on the xbox and not the PS2 so....if there is a difference sorry

I loved Eyes Wide Shut, but not for Nicole Kidman for Tom Cruise. Birthday Girl Great movie that really you should watch it knowing nothing about it. It's a love story. And she speaks Russian through the whole movie!!! anyway i haven't seen Chicago, but i believe Renee Zellwegger was in musical theatre. though when she was it wasn't popular.

I've been listening to this band for about 5 years now. and their new cd comes out soon. Ville Valo is a beauty and has a beautiful voice. They have, i believe, five cd's out. To me the best cd is their newest love metal. I love this cd because Ville's lyrics are all so mournful. it's a europe band that's trying to break into America. Most americans call HIM, HER because that's what they wanted to be called intill shortly. this is what gothic music is all about. Sometimes it goes into metal but it's not screaming death metal. Has anyone listened to this band? What's your favorite cd/song?

[url]http://artchive.floridaimaging.com/l/leonardo/lastsupp.jpg[/url] notice there isn't a chalice, on the painting, that jesus would have passed to all of his Apostles. the major symbol for this is how jesus and the person to his right are sitting, in the form of a V. Now the V are the original symbols for the female. now the chalice resembles a cup or vessel, and more important, it resembles the shape of a woman's womb. this symbol communicates femininity, womanhood, and fertility. But hell if you want to ask me who is the missing Apostle, i honestly couldn't tell you. it's not my theory.

Justin, I can type just fine. I choose not to for I don't feel like it. I haven't treated anyone as if they were an idiot, but if you think I have I'm sorry. I'm just saying that there are symbols in the painting. And not everyone knows what the symbols are. Do you know the symbols behind the painting? What the artist was trying to say? You know Jesus? Believe me now there are so many questions running through my head that I would like to ask. But this isn't about that.

[i]I don't see what noodleboy means so accomplish by asking for opinions then bashing them with his/her version of the bible. I say his/her version because the bible can be interpreted many ways.[/i] I haven't bashed anyone. I've just tolded them their version may be wrong, as may mines. This is all a thing of belief. And if i was to bash someone on their belief and then they brake and give into mines, and only then would i feel bad and see this as pointless. Vegitto4 i already knew that. funny though isn't it?

[i]By your last statement, you just proved me right[/i] lol that's funny! there is no way to [b]prove[/b] this unless [b]you[/b] were there [i]what relevance does a painting made 1500 years later have to the event itself? And if that is supposed to be Mary(and the painting is erroneous), what of that? Because she's sitting next to Him, there is a sexual relationship? It's obvious that very few people here understand the true Jesus. He loves everyone with perfect love. And perfect loves knows no degree.[/i] well, to understand the painting you must understand the artist. Which i don't feel like explaining. the artist is Da Vinci. the reasone the painting is so important is that it justifies that Jesus had to have a relationship. was it sexual well... you can only assume. also notice that how they are sitting together! just because he loves everyone doesn't mean he was [i]in[/i] love with someone. my friend no one person knows another [i]The New Testament, Revalation, Chapter 22, verses 18-19) 18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book; 19 if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away that person's share in the tree of life, and in the holy city, which are described in this book.[/i] lol do u think that would stop the church! *edit* want more one da vinci and the words that i can't put together [url]http://ramon_k_jusino.tripod.com/leonardo.html[/url] another!

[i]The reason I discredit this picture is that, From bilbical accounts, the only people present at the last supper were Jesus and the disciples, and I hold the Bible up as the true inspired living word of God.[/i] magdalene was a disciple. and the reason for that picture is that it was made by a man that belonged in a secret socity and I for one trust his knowledge. eh? but what does he know, right?

[i]Because there's no reason to assume she was. Does it metter?[/i] but it does. By depicting the Magdalene as a whore, people would be less likely to accept the theory that Jesus and the Magdalene were a couple. Religious authority can be pretty insidious when it sets its mind up to do something. but it's all just one big mess

[i]I am pretty sure that this thread was inspired by "The DaVinci Code", or at least some of the media that has surrounded the novel (which is quite good). There is no historical proof that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene other than a few documents that were written four hundred and thirty years after Jesus' death. However, from a historical perspective you could say the exact same about Jesus not being married, the only factual evidence is the bible. It is a thought that Emperor Constantine left several excerpts out of the book so he could further his political agenda. Over centuries, the Catholic Church has searched for lost excerpts and passages but they either have turned up empty-handed or are purposefully withholding the documents. More than likely most of the message (if not all of it) made it into the good book? quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by Vegitto4 Do you even know why many christians stick to those gospels? It's because we shouldn't need to listen to any other non-biblical texts. Like Apocrypha (which was mentioned in that article, which I read very closely actually). If you study anything at all about Textual Criticism (the study of how we got what we know today as the Bible) the proof is clearly available that the extant (copies left available today) manuscripts were ~painstakingly~ copied to prevent discrepencies, and could withstand even greater rigors than a DNA test for a modern day evidenciary hearing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That doesn't mean that things weren't left out of the original copy. Again, it is a point that cannot be validated either way, you can only make a true judgement based on your heart and what your heart truly believes.[/i] Thank you! [i]I, personally, wouldn't base my faith solely on the presentation of a magazine article or a fictional novel, I would base it on what fells right in my heart, soul, and mind.[/i] i'm not solely basing it on this novel. but if i was it wouldn't be incorrect for dan brown, the authorj, did alot of research and used it in his novels plot. [i]all this other stuff is nonsense[/i] i know it is, it's just something that's nice to know

but! you have that the bible has been written many times over. Second we don't REALLY know who he is. Also it seems u didn't read this to closely, eh? here's my favorite part in it: "Many Christians prefer to stick strictly to the canonical Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) and are dismissive of historical context and non-canonical texts."

Was she the whore of the century or the wife of Jesus? Who is that to the right (our left) of jesus? I believe she was the wife of Jesus, and that she and her children are the holy grail.

hmmmm... I say you should ask her out, for she may need that personal lover to be their in which a friend with benefits can never be. though these types of relashionships are always screwed. It's a good thingyou asking her out. I bet she already has feelings for you. So either way you will be fine, i just hope she will. But that's just a guys opinion:D

[i]Be happy with what god gives you.[/i] And if you don't believe in god? Well, I believe it's perfectly fine. I believe as James said "...it would be incredibly horrible and scary to "have the mind of a woman" inside a man's body." [i]Just because you feel your born into the wrong body, doesn't mean you should change it.[/i] Why not? If you have the money, and you truely believe that isn't the body you should be in. [i]So what if your a tomboy, or a thoughtful teenager guy?[/i] i've never heard of a teenager getting this operation. Also i don't their allowed to get the operation either. [i]But however, there are some cases in which you actually have both parts in you, and would be classified as a transexual. THIS, my friend, is plenty right in my mind to fix. A girl that has all girl parts EXCEPT for that one area can go ahead and get that fixed, and vice versa. [/i] Why should they get it fixed, and the person that was born in the wrong body can't? Anyway, my thoughts on the matter is that it's perfectly fine for a person to get the sex change. It's their body let them do what they want with it. We shouldn't control somebody who isn't happy with their body, because it breaks taboos [i]Then what are you? Are you not gay anymore? Are you straight? Are you a male or a female?[/i] i think they are the sex they got changed into. But then what makes a male, or a female? Is it the testes and the overies or is it just the "parts" of that sex...or the mind?
