You know I can’t figure out if your sarcastic or not?

Either way, funny!

Also “N. American” [1] Also found it funny.

It’s a WASP thing. They were killjoys when they got kicked out of Europe four centuries ago. They’re kill joys today.

Today, shocked at their ancestors’ crimes, they dilute their sense of responsibility by dropping the ASP, and making broad generalizations about whites (really, who did the Balkans ever hurt other than themselves? What harm have the Amish done to ethnic minorities?)

[1] (also Latin@ ?? - can’t keep track.)

The argument isn’t that “everything is predestined” but there is still free will. That’s illogical by definition (and theologians are not intellectual weaklings). Rather the question is wheather, despite God’s omniscience, we still have free will.

The question therefore is: is God’s omniscience equivalent to predestination?

Some think yes (no free will. some Protestants and Muslims). Some think not (therefore we are free. Catholics, ppl who reject omniscience.)

Personally I like Tolstoy’s take on the whole thing in WnP, because it betrays how deep his understanding of physics is (he even scratches at chaos theory).

It’s banned from UK airspace, so US flights to Europe are affected (at least flights from lower latitudes)

I haven’t read Les Miserables. I’m sure its great. But depicting battles scenes is not what makes W&P, W&P.

12 chapters of Waterloo for waterloo’s sake is meaningless.
