Possessed

I'm frankly shocked and appalled that this forum does not have a 3 word story thread.  That I could find anyway.  Almost every forum has one.  Yet I'm not brave enough to make one.

You already have a grave?  That's just morbid.

Did the GOUT not have chapter marks you could rip and apply elsewhere?  I mean they may not be frame accurate, but it's just chapter marks it should be close enough.

Require, you even had to use it to make the thread title.  =-)

What do you think of this article, more specifically the subject matter of it than the article itself?  Not trying to be challenging or mocking, I'm just really curious as to how you would explain it?  This isn't very detailed, but it was the best article I could find quickly enough.  It didn't mention that Horus was also resurrected and ascended to the heavens after three days of being dead, but I have seen other places that indicated this.  Not saying the story of Jesus was plagiarized from an egyptian tale that predates it by thousands of years, because I don't have to.

On a similar note, the story of Noah and the ark (even down to the detail of a dove signifying dry land) also appears thousands of years before Judaism, and the story of Moses, with the same basic idea of the same story with different names (although the story of moses the earlier versions had somewhat similar names)

If a being of supernatural, yet eternal, intentions might exist, is it not possible that his message may be consistent in its elements, yet stressed somewhat differently to disparate peoples?

To clarify, is it not possible that God might merely enjoy recounting the same tales?

 Actually, that's exactly what I believe.  I personally don't believe that the story of Jesus is untrue, I just believe it's a retelling of a different story with changed names, and with details altered to fit the desired culture or audience.  I was not saying that this makes the story of Jesus untrue, I think it's true, it just may not have been "Jesus of Nazareth".

However, I find Ric's points about finding similarities between two things very weak.

Sure you can find similarities in anything, but let's look at these similarities:

*Both born of a virgin

*Both had stars signifying their birth
*Both teachers at age 12.  SPECIFICALLY age 12.

*Both "baptized" at age 30, specifically.
*Both tempted by the evil force, on a mountain.

* Both crucified, then ascended to heaven.

Those are pretty damn specific, and I don't think you can find those similarities between two random people.

Like I said, I still think the story is true, I just believe the story of Jesus and the story of Horus are merely retellings of the same story.

There was actually a local smoke/liquor shop around me that would offer a(n optional) free hug with the purchase of any tobacco or alcohol product.  It was rather odd, and it didn't last very long...

Yeah, massages at least have some practical benefits.  Not that I would ever get one.  But cuddling?  For money?  That's just weird.  The fact that they have to put in their advertisements that they do not offer upgrades is proof of how weird it is.

There is a professional cuddling shop in Oregon where you can pay $60 an hour just to cuddle with somebody.  What the fuck?

Ooh whoops.  :)

Because there are other threads and sections of the forum specifically for talking about general star wars related stuff.

Is it REALLY that complicated? It's easy, I promise.

did you guys know there was another darth maul arc written that was set after the son of dathomir and the last episode of series would have lead right into revenge of the sith. they literally had the last 53 episodes all written and 4 of them only needing the animation finished i believe.

 Good lord, just go away.

Sigh... now he won't learn anything.

I was only luring him into a false sense of security.

There's nothing wrong with liking the clone wars, it's just that you have asked the same questions about edits and their relation to them a lot of times. 

Fair enough, sorry for being a jerk.  Not sorry enough to bail you out of reading the thread though.  You might enjoy it, it is quite interesting in places.  Basically he made kickass mockups, if you want more than that you'll have to read.

Of his 28 posts, I'd bet at least 25 of them are questions.  24 of which about the clone wars tv series.  

*Jay's voice from Dogma*
Jeez this broad asks alot of questions.

Oh damn, I see now.  Well I understood the original joke, but missed harmy's then.  Shame on me.

There's at least two people missing the joke...

 Not true, I just decided to go ahead and make a point when harmy replied to my first comment with a serious point.  My first comment wasn't intended to go that way.

Could be.  The original lord of the rings trilogy of movies (not the snoozefest extended editions) are magical films, but they disagree with the books in several key factors.  The one that bothers me the most is in Return of the King when Frodo kicks Sam off the journey while climbing the mountain.  It's out of character and it did not happen in the book, unless I just blacked out while reading the book.

I still don't understand... so Tolkein was an author? What books did he write?

Once per way, or multiple times a method?

What about Silence, scum!

I like it because people are called scum a few times in star wars so it doesn't feel out of place.
