Although you were first to use it explicitly, I think probably Moso should get credit ... look at the title here!!! Mos is just too good with names like that!!!!! Whether on purpose or just his usual typos, he comes up with some weird stuff. I perfer mine though ... I will still call him Fadio.

Haven't seen your face but I can imagine the look in your face when you're posting about your little chess champions ... so I don't know bud

Who in specific are you referring to as "this board" can pretty much mean anything. A lot of people with a WIDE array of perspectives and beliefs come and go ... please do not mistake individual posts for what the "board" thinks as the board doesn't think anything.

I fail to see how I am the one suffering from an enlarged ego when I'm not the one who seems to have all the answers around here. And I must say, of all the insults you have thrown my way recently (and I must point out I haven't really fired back yet ) comparing me to Armo77 was just the worst

And I'm guessing you have reached that level? Well good for you! Then by all means stop analyzing things with your finite human mind and let the rest of us fools and idiots that have not yet reached your level and "seen the light" wallow in our miserable, albight finite, analysis-based existence.

Armat I read your similar post in the other thread and was thinking about it ... what if point of life IS to find a point to life? In other words, why can't life be a point in and of itself? Because it seems to me that's how it has been while many have tried to find other "meanings".

Yes probably too much load on the server. It seems to be working now. Mos, the bandwidth limit may be hourly, daily, etc ... doesn't have to be only monthly.

I will just quote this small part of the script from Monty Python's search for the holy grail as I think it trully captures what I think about the literal reading of some gospels (though I will admit never to have read the bible myself ) Well, ok I was just looking for an excuse to post this

No time to reclarification ... somewhere in the middle of this thread we went from cheating (deceitful actions) which is BAD to not being necessarily monogamous in a marriage (but open about it) ... it's the second case that I am saying is OK as long as the couple agrees and knows what's going on. ... "cheating" (hidden and lied about) is still bad I agree.

What? Jesus? Not Arrogant? To me, Jesus is the embodiment of arrogance! "Forgive them for they know not what they do..." don't tell me that's not arrogance!!!! He walked around with all the answers! Don't tell me that's humble! Maybe it was disguised as humble but to me, that's arrogance. Maybe well deserved, being the son of God and all ... but still.

Cool then we totally agree!!!

Maybe I misunderstood but I read that as "sex is VERY VERY VERRRRRRRRRY important and must be cherished". (in other words monogamous sex is one of the requirements of marriage ... once you are married, can't have sex with others no more)

I would tend to agree with you about the "hard core" ignorant Christians ... but the true ones, the "turn your cheek" Christians that are usually very hard to find are pretty kick ass people (I know at least two that have dedicated their lives to helping others and don't really ask for much in return). I think the fundamentals of Christianity as a way of life are VERY sound. It's just hard to find those that live by the thoughts of "God" rather than try to stick to the the words of some gospel or some shmo interpreting those gospels!

Wow wow wow fellas fellas ... calm down!!! Gevo and Extra ... once again ... I have NO problem with people that want to have monogamous relationships. I have NO problem with swingers. I have NO problem with homosexual relationshisp (though I have said that is not marriage .. but a different topic). I have NO problem with Mormons in Utah taking multiple wives. I have NO problem with the Amish rejecting technology, living communially, and being ultra conservetive. But MARK MY WORDS ... No %$^%#$#^%$#^%$ president of this country is every going to tell me gluttony is a sin. NEVER. What's with this taliban attitude? Who are we to say what an adult couple can and cannot do in their marriage? I can imagine a marriage being quite successful as a strong bond an a union to form a family, raise children, and form the fundamental support structure in society ... I just don't understand how you guys love to put sex in the middle of everything ... everything is sex sex sex sex sex ... always sex being the most important and the most central thing in the relationship to be worshiped, protected, cherished, made a shrine to, never talked about, never mentioned, never shared .... Paaaa Leeease!!! Sex is not that important ... just let it be. Sure it's a great thing between a man and a woman but it is not the ONLY thing in a relationship. If you base your entire basis for relationship around sex, you are going to have one very sorry existence in my opinion. I appologize for the harsh words but I am getting a bit tired of ultra-conservatives complaining about the "preverted freaks" while they are the ones that can't get over this sex business!

Maybe it's current American presidents?

Gevo, last time I checked you live in the US. In other words, "your morals" should not be telling what two adults want to do in their bedrooms behind closed doors. That is what a free society is supposed to be. By the way, since we are starting to go down this line of discussion, I want to point out that "cheating" in my opinion is only cheating if it is kept hidden. Thus, I do disagree with the practice of cheating in a marriage that is supposed to be based on trust. But on the same token, I do not think there is anything wrong with a married couple that chooses to be NOT monogamous. It is their choice ... none of my business.

Armat, the main difference between music and god is that we hear music and then decide whether it is good or not. With God, we are supposed to "sense" something, whatever that may be, and if it is good we are supposed to attribute it to God and if it is bad we are supposed to attribute it to "not God" (a much more arbitrary categorization). In other words, "Godness" is somehow predetermined as being all that is good and holy while music must be good in order to be good music! Did I make any sense?

Oh and I also didn't say what is acceptable and not in that post about "wild" ... only trying to point out that I can imagine the "need for wild" manifesting itself in some shape or form after years of monotony. Obviously I haven't been there myself so I am only guessing.

Well, that is something between you and your husband to decide. I don't think we have any right to tell ALL husbands and wives what they can and cannot do. I think this thread is asking more in general. By the way, you make me sound like a chauvinist by saying "husband cheating on wife" (but I know you didn't mean it like that ) ... For the record, I never singled out a specific sex as I think both sexes are equal in such matters. In the end, it is up to the couple to decide how they want to live their lives and what is ok and not ok for them.

In this context, wild by definition kinda implies out of the ordinary ... It would be rather impossible to be "wild" with your wife as even if you include circus clowns, trapese artists, and midgets with baloons, it will become ordinary after a few years thus creating a need for the "wild" ... ... maybe?

Slight cleanup ... Angel/Anoushik if you have a problem with each other please use PMs. Thank you.

Reminds me of a something a very good friend of mine used to say ... "I think, therefore you are."
