    What's in a (sexy) name?

    *looks for hot Trekkie and/or X-men fan-girls*

    What's in a (sexy) name?

    Well, the studies have only shown patterns. They say nothing about the reasons behind it. Like what Penumbra said: It could be that some names just sound more pleasing to some people than others. But there does seem to be a general consensus. One theory I thought of while reading them...

    In or out of the broom closet?

    Was never in the broom closet. I've always been open about what I believe. I don't shove it in people's faces or anything, but I'm not afraid to talk about it when the subject comes up. Because I like talking about philosophy, culture, and anthropology (and because there are often street...

    What's in a (sexy) name?

    Maybe to you, but not to me, which is why I bring it up in hopes of a discussion.

    What's in a (sexy) name?

    I was led to these two articles from an article on Cracked.com: BBC NEWS | UK | Magazine | Would he be even more handsome called Ryan? What's in a name? The difference between being seen as attractive or not (or why Sophies are successful and Helens are unlucky) | Mail Online According to these...

    Doctor Who Season 6 (WARNING: SPOILERS)

    Yeah, when the crack was fixed, so was all the stuff that went weird, like Rory becoming a plastic centurion. But because they're time travelers at the eye of the storm, they still remember. That was a damn good episode. I love Amy's line: "Did you wish REALLY REALLY hard?" lol

    Judgment Day vs. the Rapture

    Raptures were carnivorous dinosaurs that hunted in packs. THE Rapture is the second coming of the holy pack that will eat the true believers and take them to heaven, leaving their stuff behind for everyone else to take. Too bad. I was really looking forward to the looting.

    Liberal vs Libertarianism

    There's more than one type of Liberal. There's also more than one type of Libertarian when you're not speaking of the specific party. As much as we humans would like to think everyone falls into neat little categories, pretty much anything that has to do with humanity is more of a spectrum...

    So, This Is My Question for Believers...

    From what I gather, the Christians who believe in the Rapture are in the minority. Unfortunately, they also tend to be the loudest ones. And given that the human mind is more likely to recognize repeated statements over proven facts as proof, sometimes they actually get to people. Basically...

    Doctor Who Season 6 (WARNING: SPOILERS)

    Yeah, I was curious about the pregnancy being in flux. Maybe her current pregnancy relies on future events that could change at any moment? Also, I don't know much about the earlier Doctors before 9, but as far as I know, there hasn't been a half human-half Time Lord child. Maybe it's a new...

    Doctor Who Season 6 (WARNING: SPOILERS)

    Okay, I'd like to see what theories people have for who that little girl is and why she was regenerating. If she's regenerating like that, she must be at least part Time Lord. Last I recall, the Doctor and Amy never did anything apart from kissing. If they did, neither of them seem to...

    Earth Ends In 6 Days

    I've seen billboards advertising the date. I'm thinking of getting one that says "I hope it really does end then, so that I don't have to pay for this!" and have a picture of me with a cheesy smile with one thumb up like a Mentos commercial. Though given that it very likely won't happen, yeah...

    Does "should" imply "can"?

    The fact that I can implies that I can :p Though I wouldn't assume that "should do X" implies the ability to do X. Just because I should do something doesn't mean that I am capable of it.

    Is religious faith beneficial or harmful?

    I wasn't thinking they'd be apathetic. I'd think there was more consideration in it, in that there is no black and white.

    Dream/Journey Interpretation

    I did a journey a while back where I went to speak with my "Warrior self." After we talked, he handed to me what looked to be a twig or miniature branch with a nest on it. I can't remember if the nest was empty or not. I'm trying to figure out what it could mean because I'm thinking that...

    Is religious faith beneficial or harmful?

    I did abstain because I didn't want to skew the results with an answer that wasn't close to what I believe. The thing is, religion is very personal. Everyone has different views on spirituality, even within the same religion, the same sect, and even the same family. Whether it is beneficial...

    Shady Debaters; what can we do about it?

    You mean the ones that would ignore it anyway? I've had my fair share. Enough to not bother anymore. I tend to be on their ignore lists.

    Converting from Catholic to UU: How to get over fear of Hell?

    It's important to Save. Otherwise, you'll lose all your work :p That's along the lines of what I'm gonna tell the next Bible thumper that asks me if I've been saved :D

    Converting from Catholic to UU: How to get over fear of Hell?

    As a former Catholic, yeah, it does fade. It will take time, just like breaking bad habits. I'm still trying to break some of them. It's one thing to logically know something. It's another thing to train away years of indoctrination. But it'll get there. Now to me, if I even think about...
