Bump. Free post.

That post just made me cry for Argentina.

Retracted Not important why

I think the answer to whether Christians and Muslims worship the same God has everything to do with how you approach it. If you look at it historically, Christians, Muslims and Jews do indeed worship the same God, but they disagree vehemently on his attributes. Jews say God is one. Most Christians (present company excepted) say God is one-in-three-and-three-in-one. Muslims say no, Jews got that one right: God is one. They are disagreeing about God's attributes, about his qualities, about what he wants, about his rules, about his restrictions, about what he allows and demands and requires, about who he saves, about who he condemns and how he condemns them. Historically, for these three religions, the same God is being worshipped. However, theologically each of these religions teaches that the other two are wrong about God in a way that disqualifies Him as "God." Jews do not believe Jesus is God. Most Christians do (again, present company excepted, pca). So a Jew could not say "We worship the same God" and be theologically correct. Because the Jew would not agree that the Christians worship their God. The Jew would find the Christian worship blasphemous. Christians (pca) think Jews have lost sight of the true God they used to worship but rejected when he revealed himself in person. And Muslims, well... Point is, the way I see it, if you put the emphasis on "God," then I think the answer is yes: they both (all) worship the same God. But if you put the emphasis on "worship," the answer is no. They disagree with each other to a mutually exclusive extent. Only one of the tree (at most) can correctly worship God. The others are worshipping falsely, which disqualifies the object of their worship as God.

Although George is right, I'm going to jump in out of turn with a not-so-subtle commentary on the current status of this thread: "Lighten up, Francis."

I'm torn between Edward Scissorhands and Stir Crazy. Which one is closer? Ok, Augustus narrows it down to two movies, one a remake of the other. From your hint, I'm guessing people are more familiar with the original than the remake, so someone who doesn't recognize the quotes would be less familiar with the remake, making this: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory starring Johnny Depp.

The Producers Nathan Lane The Birdcage

Will double check this after posting. The In-Laws Peter Falk The Princess Bride Checked.

Lol. Suddenly I'm hungry. And thirsty. What goes well with .... Sorry. I can't. No hints in this post either. But I'm next at bat!

I'll let other people play. :) [No hint in this post].

Yes, but what kind of discussion? If About the Way, please relate it to TWI. If doctrinal, please advise and I'll move it. We'll be flexible regarding the "no politics" policy, but police yourselves.

Technically I was looking for Exorcist II, but...

Yes Miles= Risky Business (sometimes you have to learn to say WTF) Viola was from Moonlighting Booger was Revenge of the Nerds God was in Joan of Arcadia

Not Brendan Fraser. Not a household name, but not so hard as to be unfair. Dudley's nickname is Booger.

It is not. When movies in this genre are listed as "10 best," the original is often number 1, though some lists have it as 2 or (hell no) 3. But as far as worst sequels ever, part II makes people want to spit up, it's so bad. (Yes, hints are embedded in this post).

Your move

Name the actor: Miles Dalby Herbert Viola Dudley Dawson* God** * Dudley Dawson was better known by a nickname that would be a giveaway. ** Cameo. Lots of people played God in this TV series. That was part of the gimmick of the show. Dalby and Dawson are movie characters. The others are TV.

ok, here we go: A divorced chiropractor and his precocious/dumb-as-a-brick son move in with the man's brother so he can afford his hefty alimony payments. They are recruited as agents for a secret agency that protects and defends earth from extra-terrestrials.

Smallville

Yeah. Ok. See you in 5 days...

Where are you, but I'll accept Scooby-Doo
