@origialtych I'm curious, what is a "quib"? I Googled it, and although I found various definitions, none seemed to go with the context here.

I've always liked this one -- I remember using it as a sort of soundtrack to various theological writings, particularly Origen's cosmology.

@javonne You wrote, "F*** Religion." Does that include all religions? Would you write, "F*** Judaism"?

I'm a Catholic, and indeed because I am a Catholic, I can respect, engage, and appreciate other religious, theological, philosophical, and intellectual traditions, including atheism (Nietz...

@Water4Jeremiah (continued) -- To put it another way: if humanity is not fallen, that means evil is just what we are. But if humanity is fallen, that means evil is NOT what we really are – it’s a sickness, with the possibility of a cure. If there's nothing "wrong" with humanity, as you seem to ...

@Xterminator777 -- The song used at 7:45 is the boss battle theme from Final Fantasy IV.

Regarding the part around 6:55 or so -- it occurred to me as I was re-watching this tonight on DVD that this episode is basically a kind of proto-"Lost" in a nutshell: people in need of redemption, reconciliation, grace, etc. trapped in a location (in this case, a stopped subway car) by "fate," w...

Right at around the 1:35 mark, I just realized it's rather similar to part of Terra's theme from Final Fantasy VI -- actually, for several notes it's identical.
