The most random thread ever!!!

@Grond That's a great question. There's actually a Mormon thread hidden in the depths of the Front Lawns where you could repost it so as not to clutter up this thread. I'll try and revive that for you.

[MeadowR]

Can this thread of posting anything really be 'cluttered'?


To echo what others have said... hope all affected by Irma, in whatever way, are okay!

[Cornflower MM]

How do you figure that one?

Also, I hope that the people in Montana are doing okay.

Get it all over with now.

Yeah, same here. . .

By the way, won't the hurricane be hitting where you are, Corn?

Yep. It's raining now actually. Should be getting nice and tropical storm-y by this afternoon.

Stay safe Tam!

Did I mention that Hurricane Katrina, actually reached Indiana? It was just a strong wind and lots of rain while we were eating lunch but it's rather cool nonetheless.

Good for you

*Pats Corn on the head*

How severe is a tropical storm?

[Cornflower MM]

I forgot the actual stats, but it's not as bad as a hurricane. Tropical storms turn into hurricanes. Then hurricanes go back into tropical storms. So, bad enough to do a bit of damage but I'll be fine.

[Rosie Willowwater]

*Hugs* I'm glad it won't be too bad, though I hope the damage is as little as possible. 

[The Skarzs]

Stay safe and dry!

Stay safe and dry!

Thankee! *Hugs Rosie back* Will do!

[Wylder Treejumper]

Hope everyone in Hurricane Irma's path stays safe!

Alternatively, it could be because we have so many political disasters that we have these natural disasters.

Wylder- you're a Mormon correct?? Now my apologies for going kind of off topic here, but since this is the most random thread, I'm curious about a few things regarding Mormon theology/belief in particular about "God". Particularly with this slogan "As God now is, man maybe." So Mormons believe that God was once a "normal" man and then through his deeds etc... he became God or?? If so through which "process" did or does this happen? I assume this is tied into the Mormon belief that God did not create space/time but rather that he is a part of it ??

@Grond: I'll answer that question over in "The Mormon Thread" in a little bit. The short answer is, I can't give any true explication of this doctrine, only my understanding of it (which may very well be flawed). This is what is generally called "deep doctrine", which is difficult to understand without experiential knowledge of the foundational doctrines, and an understanding of which in this life is not necessary for salvation. (The correct quote is, "As man is, God once was, and as God is man can become")


@The Skarzs: You are Catholic-- do you have any knowledge of Catholic philosophy? Because in my Poli Sci class we are discussing Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, and I find their ideas fascinating.

[The Skarzs]

I think you would get better information than what I can give you myself by reading their books.

[Wylder Treejumper]

I completely plan to check out Summa Theologica from the library, but I don't know whether I have time to read it... I'm pretty busy with my basic philosophy studies as it is

[The Skarzs]

Mm.

[Wylder Treejumper]

I actually did just check it out. At least, part one. It's a giant book.

I'll be reading some of that this year.
