: First off, ouch! Cut a back on the Condesention a bit! :P
My apologies. I intended no condescension. Nor, by the way, did I actually think you were a New Ager, or an adherent of any other religion in particular. Read on...
: The day I become so called "New Age" (or
: affiliated with any religion BTW) is the day I decide
: to destroy myself. I am not and never have been in any
: way remotely associated with _any_ religion (no
: Judeo/Christianity BS, nothing). Just because I know
: about the belief systems of some does not mean I am
: involed/have a guru, etc.... Knowledge is different
: from adherance, my friend :-)
Ah, but what you said was, "Chaos, order and Balance are three completely different things." Which is a statement of belief, not a statement of information *about* a belief. And yes, it was evident from context that what you meant was, "Chaos, order and balance are held to be three completely different things by members of certain cultures which may have inspired Myth," but responding to that wouldn't be nearly as fun as taking cheap shots at you for what you literally said. I'm a bastard that way. :-) Again, I didn't actually think you had any particular belief on the subject. Sorry that it sounded like I did.
: While it is true that some things are restricted to only
: the Mythworld, it does draw from outside forces.
: Creating parallels is not out of the question.
Sure, but that's a long way from saying, "Theory A is impossible because Culture B says so." That implies that Bungie *must* have drawn on that culture when creating Myth.
: The rest of this I could probably counter with my
: original argument, which you would conter with yours
: and we would never get anywhere. Hence I end my
: participation in this thread. This doesn't stop anyone
: else from taking up either side, but I'm tired of
: fighting....
...and the Taira pay you generously. Go away!
You'll find out what that means eventually. :-)
In any case, it all seems to have been a misunderstanding. Or something. So yes, let us move on.
