The War On Christians In The Middle East

from JoeUser Forums

An Islamic court in Shiraz, Iran has just convicted two men of being infidels. Their crime? Converting to Christianity. The possible sentence? Death. Not too far away in Saudi Arabia, an outraged father recently hacked his own daughter to death for the same “abomination.”

In the daily drumbeat of Mideast news, there is one story of historic proportion that goes nearly unreported: the persecution and systematic destruction in the Islamic world of some of the world’s oldest Christian communities.

Deism?

End of quote

Deism is a form of theism that acknowledges a god creator who doesn't interfere with creation any more.

I believe in a creator who still interferes in the sense that we can still hear him.

Deists are, however, not atheists despite the fact that they do not believe in the supernatural.

Leauki, I liked your Sim City analogy.  That's a good game.  Interesting yet it couldn't hold my attention for long hours.  I liked Sim City 2000, but there was only so much I could take (for 2000 the scenarios were really good) then it was the eventual dooms day of disasters break out.  It would be nice if they added a zombie disasters (grant it you couldn't see it break out) or 4 horseman of the Apocalpyse disaster. 

Sorry this has nothing to do the current discussion.

I bought Sim City 4 and then noticed, as with Civilisation 4 and some form of Worms, that wouldn't run without the game DVD in the drive and even then would run only in fullscreen.

Since I feel no reason to go look for the DVD whenever I want to play few minutes and do nothing else on my computer while I am playing, I never played it.

If I play slow games like Sim City or Civ without doing at least one other thing on the computer I get bored from information underload. I usually play a strategy game, watch a DVD or listen to a podcast, read Web articles, read newsgroups, and reply to emails all at the same time. It distracts me while I am working on a program.

But game vendors these days don't seem to get this style any more.
