Hey Myles,
What do you mean by back it up? Do you mean back it up with Nero, or dump it with Friidump or Wiidump?
And what’s ‘Resign it’ specifically?
thnx
The Vatican taking a part in the Global politics? No…way…or should I say - not again.
Yea, but don’t forget his great expression of faith to God while he drives all over in his bulletproof pope-mobile after he gets off of it.
My problem is: how do “religious” people allow this man to run worhsipped on their land when he is blatantly acting as the temporal God? It’s crazy that the mass sub-consciousses be that owned?
It wasn’t a surprise to me, or many others, considering the other game options.
If we were to organize EVO, it would need to start soon.
I have the CvS2 videos close to ready for youtube but you guys filmed all the Xmen vs SF matches in one big file. If I compress that, it’s length will still be too long for youtube. I don’t have any video editing software since mine expired. So it might be a bit for that.
In the case of ‘God’, it’s not hypocritical by any means since you shouldn’t be characterizing him as anything like human. Clearly, it makes sense to seperate God from man, which is why the Vatican making decisions like they were God is a problem…
The Vatican doesn’t work for God (this is important regardless of religion or whatever). We should all know that by now but I guess it’s hard to avoid depending on a media program of some sort for information. Damn obvious once you look into it though…
lol the Vatican = Rome.
Imperial Rome.
They got spread too thin so they decided to institutionalize their control over the world through religion. It’s all in the history books, and I mean, if history is written by the winners and it’s this easy to find, then it’s even more obvious, lol.
Organized religions as they exist today are largely mass-disseminated ideologies designed by ancient military leaders who were PROBABLY looking to immortalize themselves (well, that is, if they were that smart.)
The big 3, at the very least, are.
CVS2 at Evo… sigh… $10 on BAS.
But yeah, there really weren’t any realistic choices other than that. But SSBB? Interesting to say the least.
When the hell is the arcade going to be actually FIXED? This is ridiculous, the buttons break all the time, the manager at that place needs to restock on clues, because he seems to be all out 
I pretty much agree with what you said except for them not being smart. Organized religion is the ultimate form of mind control (even if you’re not religious…just in case people think that matters) and the people at the top infilicting these ideals onto organized religion are physically smart as hell. The minions who carry out these concepts into action, not so much.
Realistically, everyone is in Rome right now. The only difference is if our current location allows for tolerance of them being honest about it. This is why religion is organized. You take away God, and essentially the idea of collective authority/God’s authority and give it to a select few (who were already in some sort of power). These give those few people the ability to manipulate and regulate the minds of the masses to whatever needs they might have to retain this power.
Ryad and Steve: I got to the part in FF12 when Balthier and Fran join Vaan after Vaan steals the Goddess’s Magicite from the Palace. I am at 4:10 (time) or so. :woot:
My good progress is making me think that I could do the stuff I need to do without the Strategy Guide possibly.
This looks like a good movie http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/21/
Which ancient military leaders were looking to immortalize themselves in the cases of the "The big 3’?
i want to go to the cave after work, but everything is broken
Yea I don’t know about that either, although I do see how that label can be properly attributed to an extent.
It can be misleading, do we mean: the ancient military leaders, of the public/political scale, who were almost all just puppets that maybe wanted to be immortalized but certaintly were not the root and reason. They always have a limited time of stature, until their planned or eventual collapse somehow, defying the obvious events surrounding it, takes their objectives down with them (and hence the strongest reason of this being imaged and pumped out in the public).
ex. The Knights Templar
or
The ones behind them (who obviously don’t make themselves public, thats what the imaged figures are for) could also be considered the true miliary leaders, but ‘military’ is not broad enough to be honest so it can be misleading.
Yo Khiem, we gotta catch lunch sometime.
dump with frii dump , open with truchasigner, remove the chip check offset, resign with trucha signer, then burn the new iso, alot of work, ive heard the newsgroup / torrent versions already have this done.
ill go to Evo fuck.
i would be stupid to not do it!!!
I’m not really sure how six people in one hotel room is gonna work, but still, the tropicana is a cool hotel. Once I get done with Exams I’ll look at some possibilities, since the tropicana is on the strip, we could see about another place nearby, like the Luxor, or Stardust, or something.
figure it out let me know. we should finalize this shit before the end of April.
Expect Tak to be involved in going to EVO.
It just comes down to how much this may all cost me.
Yes, it would have to be very specific.
As for the Templar Knights, although your example served its purpose for clarifying the ambiguity, I would just like to note that it is very hard to imagine they had any hand in designing Christianity in any form as we know it today. Their role was mostly military and financial, albeit, endorsed by the Church (and then cast away).
Well that is my point. They were one of the public images of ancient military power. So in that sense Jon would be wrong. However, ‘having no hand in designing Christianity’ doesn’t really make sense because technically Christianity’s form has been changing
up until today - any influence of any sort would take a hand in it’s result to some extent, at a minimum (this is why I refer to the ‘root’ design).
The Templars, had lot’s of influence in all ways imaginable. In all honesty, they seemed to have ton’s of influence on religions in general. And I can’t even refer to Christianity without losing thoughts - it heavily reflects the system by being compartmentalized to obscurity…I mean Roman Catholicism literally practices the INVERSE of the Bible’s teachings…that’s the extent this infiltration (like the religious, financial, artistic cousins of it) has been taken to. You just described the image of a Templar, not the truth or reality of one (referring to the words you used). Only the outside factors will give you that. Just look at the attributes you gave them, imagine the influence on reality it would have.
The true powers are the ones who pawned these puppets (the ancient powers I’d agree with). Understanding the system of power sheds a lot of light of the Templar’s actions and what it was they were doing - obviously. I wouldn’t be so absolute in what their role was at all, because something that powerful isn’t anything like it looks or can be summed up. Again, for me, once you look outwards-in, reality and truth are reflected and everything is more clear.
well as a matter of historical record, the “Roman Catholic” church evolved from the remnants of Roman Imperial bureaucracy. Emperor Constantinople basically coopted Christianity (which up to that point had been seen as a potential rival to state power throughout the Roman empire) by making it the official religion of the Roman state.
Until the sacking of Rome by Alaric the Visigoth in the early 400s, Christianity as widely practiced basically became more and more associated with the Roman state until state alleigance and religious observance were nearly indistinguishable. The Romans borrowed many of the old symbols of their former pagan religious practices so as to not completely mindfuck their subjects.
Then, basically, when it became no longer possible to physically control their empire due to being spread too thin, the Romans basically settled for unified religious control of many small “sovereign” states which were in fact anarchical fiefdoms ruled by warlords.
See any parallels to today?
cough**cough Free Enterprise doctrine anyone?
The Old Testament (and by extension the Torah) basically reads like a mythologized record of the Israeli people’s administrative and military history, with some parables and symbolic figures thrown in for extra goodness.
And, for that matter, wasn’t the Prophet kinda one of the illest generals EVER, achieving unification of the entire Arabian peninsula?
I’m more certain about the stuff to do with the Romans than any of the rest, I don’t write papers about that stuff.
Ah well, I was referring to direct influence such as historically documented interpretation, creation, modification etc… of doctrine, dogma and beliefs rather than immeasurable influences that may lead the aformentioned impacts, or influences to the spread, rooting, viewing of christianity during that time etc…
Looking at it from that point of view, if we had to form a relationship between the Templars and the Christian authority of its time, if anything, it seems their actions supported it rather than added new designs to it… As far as I know, they were mostly involved in the protection of pilgrims to the holy lands and as a fighting unit during the crusades… I believe that is well documented.
Looking at it from a more general point of view, yes, they must have had a huge influence on the ‘flow’ of christianity…
Ah yes, I am aware of history of Roman Catholic Church, though probably not as much as yourself. Also, although I did read a bit of the both the Old and New Testaments, in no way can I claim to be remotely close to a scholar in these matters. But the only reason I asked for clarification is because of your use of the words ‘…designed by ancient military leaders who were PROBABLY looking to immortalize themselves…’ Now I am no scholar in these matters, but my guess would be that most of the root doctrine stems from prophets of said religions and people that were around such people. To classify such people as military leaders, without any mention of any other roles they played is a bit misleading and doesn’t do them justice, in my opinion. I suppose it is a matter of opinion and perspectives, but I would classify them as perhaps spirtial leaders first alongside with social, military and economic leaders, depending on who we are talking about. The other thing is you mentioning the intent of immortalizing themselves. I find intention very hard to gauge, but perhaps I am biased when I say that I find that very hard to believe, at least based on the sources I read of said prophets… you did say probably though, but it was capitalized 
Going outside of the root doctrine, and into later additions/modifications is a whole new area, and I recognize that they have a huge influence on religion as we know it today. But my fingers hurt so I’ll stop…
i like evo.
canada invades the states.
let’s do this.
calling not it on organizing that shit.
I need a ride. :wonder:
Once again, a man dies in the name of God…?
