AsifinPassing: Human nature is human nature the world over. Ever heard of a site called Second Life? Basically it's a virtual world. Walking around is free, but if you want to buy a piece of "real estate" and set up a virtual house you have to pay for it. Some large companies own whole islands there.

Thing is, one of the residents of Second Life made a neat video game. It was so popular that soon almost everyone was playing it. And Second Life became slightly deserted as people stayed at "home" playing the game.

See the irony yet? People who would otherwise be out and about stay home to wander through Second Life and socialize with their online friends. Then, even in the virtual reality, they start staying "home" to play the game. Kinda sad really...

Lynx, you should check out a dystopian book called Ready Player One. It's about this same sort of thing... in a future where most people in society actually LIVE in a virtual game called the OASIS. It's an interesting and entertaining book - full of 80s pop culture references - and gives a good picture of what our world might look like one day if cyber societies keep going like they have been the last 20 years.

Holy cow, I just did the unthinkable! I posted a comment in a thread in the bible discussion forum! I broke my solemn vow...

What's going to happen now, will I be sucked into the Legalistic Vortex?

Week 1 of my insane schedule. Taking 5 college courses, working 40-45 hours, and leading my church's college & young adult ministry. So far so good, but it is just as crazy as I expected it to be. Google Calendar is most certainly my friend :)

(P.S. I completely understand where you're at, ronnie!)

"The emphasis and the onus of the church has been how do you get people to come? Biblically, that's never been the question... Biblically, it's can you connect people to the body of Christ in such a way that accountability and growth are probable?" - Matt Chandler

You will be sucked in and then pooped out from the other end.

Here is why you must never interfere in a debate in the Bible discussion forum - Proverbs 26:17 (KJV)
He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

Peace out, bro! :D

I was thinking more about the "pearls before swine" clause, especially the part about them turning again and rending me... but yeah, the dog-by-the-ears bit fits as well. Thanks a lot. :p

It's so helpful! I even put my homework assignments for the semester in as events so I would know when they are due.

This is a screen shot of next week for me...
