Skepticism is great because it looks at ideas, carefully evaluating. Ideas just recently expanded with ‘contiguous dimensional worlds’, and the debate will never be the same.
With the existence of ‘Techie Worlds’ (available at amazon.com) believers in Christianity can hold their views utilizing sound logic, clear thinking and a mechanistic view of worlds. Applying Flatland’s concept of contiguous dimensional worlds, Trinity, Resurrection, Judgment and soul are sensible and mechanically viable beliefs. ‘Techie Worlds’ follows that rule of science by which individual details are tested for their conformity to the overarching hypothesis. Admittedly, agnostics may choose not to follow such obvious and sensible logic, but no longer can they denigrate believers for fuzzy thinking. Moslems and pagans who read and understand the sound logic of the Flatland concept must adopt the reasonable Trinitarian view. ‘Techie Worlds’ will make them abandon the ways of terror an adopt the way of love. Techie Worlds is not standard preacher-prattle. Only by reading it can you open your mind to its valid way of understanding Christianity.

@Mooselet, thanks for the correction, fixed now! I have nothing against the Blue Man Group, having never seen them. ’twas simply a comment on the Arrested Development Episode. I will be sure to see them next time I am in Boston – a beautiful city, and I hope to be back very soon. Cheers

I know this is nit-picky, but I’m originally from the Boston area and just need to fix one teeny-tiny error… Massachusetts is abbreviated MA, not MS. I think MS is Missouri or Mississippi. So it would be Cambridge, MA. Sorry.

Boston is a great city to be a tourist in and personally I think you can really see the city with Blue Man Group. Now can you say “Harvard Yard” like a true Bostonian?

Ah – people have been noticing the recent ‘audio diary’ of Dragon*Con and do we have a few gamers in our audience, apart from me, it appears. I think you’ll be in for a lecture about the contribution of Dungeons and Dragons to our cultural milieu… :p

At some point in the future you and I need to talk dice and the necessity of a D30, if Kylie hasn’t already briefed you.

SO can we call you the world famous Dr Rachie yet :p

Great story! Although the Bostonians/Cambridgites might be a little peeved that you’ve placed them in the state of Missouri (MS) rather than the, ahem, Commonwealth of Massachusetts (MA).
