(...) I think this tends to bring up the differences in Lego enthusiasts. I myself consider building with Legos to be a form of art, it is a way to express myself.

(...) I'm only going in on this one part here. It is my belief that man in God's image is not exactly literal, but of broader meaning Biblically. Image can mean form (arms, legs, head, torso) or function. My opinion of God is that He (not gender, (...) (24 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Or at least the three main narrative threads in the Pentateuch have three different names for God, that reflect different understandings of God. Does rendering the (...)

I would suggest that a different line of questioning may be more fruitful. - Is the specific problem that Kyoto purports to solve really a problem? If so, how bad? If we're not sure, what (...)

(...) Yes, you could say either of those things, but they wouldn't be accurate (except insofar as 'Lego' is a noun in the vernacular(1)). There is no product called "LEGO". To collect LEGO, you would have to start buying companies. I don't think (...) (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
