hey mathijs - long time no see;-7 WojPob
long time?
Last weekend I've had a very unsatisfying clash with some 'reasonable people'
Even Christ has admitted in the Bible that he has some flaws, but I'm not allowed to have any.
That's very interesting. I never noticed that. Can you point to where he says that? <>< tbc
Somewhere Jesus says that he is human, with corresponding human fallacies; I've been searching for the exact verse, without succes, uptonow. BTW: in my opinion the whole new testament is about Jesus being human. If I remember correctly he said something like: nothing human is strange to me
- Aren't you thinking of Terence, who wrote "Homo sum; humani nil a me alienum puto" ("I am human; I count nothing human foreign to me"). --Zundark, 2001 Nov 6
I actually only know the Dutch phrase: "Niets menselijks is mij vreemd". nothing human is strange to me is my own litteral translation of that; in English bibles it will most certainly be phrased in many different ways - it might even be apogryphic, I really don't know
Terence surely has had a immense impact on young Jesus that he quoted him somewhere (where?). And if he didn't, he should have (in cases like this, it's all about belief, anyway)
I've basically stopped contributing. I shouldn't have gotten involved with Gamefoolz and let people just be delete-happy boneheads, but I couldn't help it. I'm actually more torqued off by the USA PATRIOT Act and the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack/Detentions than I am by the state of Wikipedia, so I added those, and I really care about the victims, so I did a little numerical updating, but there have been a wide range of general contributions/updates/maintenance etc. that I would have done earlier that I have no interest in doing now.
Also, I would have made up a good logo or added helpful critique (the ones that are proposed are ugly or flawed--certainly no better than the current one); I would have helped with the GFDL licensing quandary (which shouldn't be a quandary); I'd be more diligent about submitting bug reports/critiques on the new wiki, etc. But from my tone you can see that I would be hard-pressed to be contributory.
And the second a better alternative comes along, I'm totally gone. I may have to create it, but so be it.
Take care.
