Hey guys, look what I found. :] http://kotaku.com/5713904/the-mass-effect-activity-and-coloring-bookHoly crap that is so amazing. I bet Bioware is laughing their asses off as well, I'm gonna print it out when i head to the library :D
Grats Skool. I saw who the forum goer was and just busted out laughing.
I also wanted to make sure that You and Ozone know I appreciate the help with coding that template, which by the way, now comes in Vanilla!
A few things I found out while doing this.
-I actually like how Expression web does the code. I don't think there's any bloat besides what you put in there yourself.
-Fighting CSS is a pain, good thing version 3 (yes I went through 3 versions of this) includes all the things I learned while doing this.
-I code like most people play games. "Just one more try!" turns into going to bed a 4 in the morning. 0_o
Oh and it is SO good to be home for Chirstmas!
I've won the lottery.
but not like the multi million dollar thing. i guess someone somewhere donated money to deployed people, and now i'm getting something or other. i have no idea. i wasn't supposed to be home, so my wife was going to pick it up, but now i have to go to some weird banquet and stuff.
last time the wife embarrassed me by making the hand jerking motion, while they introduced and then fluffed up a general. while everyone was thinking it, she has a little less tact.
the guy presenting is the same as previous said.
I've seen what a part of what hell looks like. Standing on the gates of hell watching it gave me nightmares.
Now you can take that literally or figuratively. It doesnt matter. Hell is Hell.
Someones been to Northern Ireland.
Sounds more like London.
Come live where I live for a few years, then tell me London is hell. >: (
Not that I think it's hell where I live, I suppose, it's just not a very nice place to be. Certainly yuckier than London.
Everyone should see Skool's masterpiece Mass Effect colouring book!

…like Golide Hawn from the 70s.
And you know what… I think the Bible got it wrong.
Cuz the way I've seen it, demons didnt come first before Hell. Its more like Hell comes first before the demons. Its more like Hell is the place where demons are born.
Take that literally or figuratively. It works both ways. lol!

No, Canada is general is lovely! Just the particular city I live in is a bit run-down. Homeless problem, lack of culture, terrible weather, lack of diversity, etc.
And you know what… I think the Bible got it wrong.I take it insanely.

Demons don't fit with Christianity, they just don't really belong in the mythology properly… They're all hangovers from other religions just re-purposed. Almost all were ordinary standard gods and things in other perfectly ordinary religions.
And Christianity as a philosophy really doesn't focus on demons at all, that's mainly crappy old testament stuff added to stupid crazy folk stuff and idiotic fringe nuttiness that always exists on the edge of poor old Catholicism.
And that insane book of revelations that should really have been forgotten.

Aw, man, but I was really hoping to get chased by some man-headed bees.
Hell is not Canada or London. It is a very cold place where no matter what you do you cannot get warm and the thought creeps into your head "I will never be warm again."
Hell is a hot sticky place where no matter where you go you are ankle deep in muck (not mud, not water but that unmentionable mix water bufflao like to stand in) and sand is blowing in your face.
But with the right attitude you can get used to it. That's why hell cannot be eternal. It has to refresh everyday so you never get used to it.
As a soldier serving in Iraq during Desert Storm said "This ain't hell but you can see it from here."
Been there, done that but any tee-shirt you get is just too nasty and ratty to keep.
Demons predate Christianity. They are creations used to scare good Hebrew children during the Babylonian captivity. Study ancient Hebrew mythology. The stuff that isn't in the Old Testament. That the Old Testament refers to in passing like what exactly is the "Terror by night?" That Pre-Adamite monster who lacking her own children would snatch the Children of Adam in the night.
Demons predate Christianity.Of course they do… as the gods in their own right that they once were. Even the many of the "demons" in Judaism come straight from older middle eastern religions.
Remember to that the word "demon" comes from the Greek. Christianity didiindeed refine the concept in its own way.
So many of those famous demon names can be traced back to other cultures…
But that's not unique to JudaoChristianity, the Muslims have their djins, the Vikings had their evil frost giants, the Greeks had their titans and so on. None of those were original inventions as evil creatures and had other lives in earlier existences.
So you could say that the demon might have once been someone's deity. That in some ways goes back to the city states of Sumer where Ur's deity was the supreme good and Akkad's was the great evil. That is until Akkad conquered Ur and the Akkadians in their infinite wisdom to accomodate the conquered just demoted Ur's diety.
But when religious belief got exclusive the religions didn't do that anymore. The former dieties became evil incarnate. But all the efforts of the church could not keep the people from respecting the old spirits. So the church ended up demonizing them.
And demonolgy provided endless hours of fun to bored clerics. We'll never know how many were just making it up. Just like people think the fictional creations of Lovecraft and Durleth are real.
Presonally I keep a guide on demonology handy whenever writing. Even the Greek muses were made demons by Holy Mother Church.
As a soldier serving in Iraq during Desert Storm said "This ain't hell but you can see it from here."
He's right. Because alot of them turn into demons upon return to the homeland. Hell creates demons. The deeper the level of Hell you dive to, the worse the demon you may become.
