The Neverending Story
Free Republic | 3/24/01 | The NES Crew

Posted on 01/11/2005 6:18:33 PM PST by malakhi

The Neverending Story

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

After a nine month hiatus, The Neverending Story, the granddaddy of daily threads, has returned to Free Republic. Originally begun on March 24, 2001, as a religious discussion thread, the NES evolved over time into a daily thread spanning a wide variety of topics. The new and improved Neverending Story will feature conversation on religion, politics, culture, current events, business, sports, family, hobbies, general fellowship and more. We welcome you to hang your hat in our little corner of FR. We ask you to abide by the FR posting rules and, even in the midst of serious debate, to keep the discussion friendly and respectful. Those who wish to "duke it out" are asked to take it over to the Smoky Backroom. I placed this thread in "General/Chat" for a reason, so play nice and have fun! :o)

"I chose EWTN..."

What a shock! You should have added "the most objective."

I can't blame Dave. I wouldn't turn on MSNBC to watch election returns.

I'd invite you to view the tapes from the various sources, and I bet you dollars to donuts EWTN would have the least blabbing and most basic coverage of the event. I liken it to choosing ot watch an event on C-SPAN, cause they generally just show you the event.

Why would I think EWTN objective? I know it's not.

What a way to celebrate the Pioneers 2nd consecutive championship, eh?

(I haven't had the chance to see them, but I've seen UND play a few games in the tournament and they look good.)

Regretfully I must decline your kind invitation.

My attention span is so short I automatically tune out repititious scenes and verbiage after the tenth iteration.

I don't understand why they couldn't have played the games at a better time. 2pm Eastern on a Thursday is really stupid. They could have started the first game at, say 5 and have the second at 9. Then they'd have more of it in prime time to let those who want to watch it.

Is "Altitude" your local sports channel? I was able to watch some of the regional games a weekend ago on my Dish. Sometimes there's unscrambled stuff on "alternate" sports channels. They were carrying the feed from "Altitude."

As always, a certain percentage of Catholics sleep in and miss Mass. :-)

Is it that hard to think that we think that the deceased's remains should be treated with respect?

A Catholic theologian interviewed on the local radio said that cremation was associated with atheism for a long time. Apparently, there was an element of thumbing one's nose at the deity when one was cremated, as if to say "okay, big guy, ressurect this..." As such, the Catholics did not think it was a good practice. Does any of this sound familiar?

That's about right. The Church today in no way encourages cremation. At best it tolerates it for practical reasons. But it may never be permitted in order to deny Christian dogma.

My Mother just had a Catholic funeral 3 weeks ago, she was cremated.....I didn't like the idea but I was kind of outnumbered by my other 7 brother and sisters.
