My general interpretation had always been that Pilate didn't want to kill Jesus, but that the priests at the Temple (who had just had a royally bad week with Jesus turning over the tables and whatnot) wanted him moved against and stirred up a street mob to try and twist Pilate's arm. Pilate seems t...

I do not think there should be any punishment for past offenders (specifically, murderers) in Hell or Heaven, to be quite honest. Not even for Hitler or Stalin or Mao. The overwhelming majority of murders, as far as I can tell, are either the product of insanity or crimes of passion, which in the fo...

So what do we do with life sentences now, if it's treated like moving to a foreign country? You can't lock someone up for all of eternity, I'm afraid.

Does the edge contain radiactive atoms, made when iron and carbon were cut in half? Or does the minos gate only destroy matter in discrete atomic packets? Considering the average diameter of atomic nuclei (really really tiny), it seems to me to be very unlikely that one would happen to be exactly i...

Not to discourage you, Stuart, but it appears you've had haters from day one for this whole deal.

...fucktards.

Stuart, I will tell you right now, the reemergence of Elhmas was perfectly timed and executed. We had all given up hope that he had remained alive. Where the hell did you learn to write like that?! I've read your other stuff (those reports and informational papers and whatnot; they were necessarily ...

You know, after thinking about it, I think a miniseries would be the best way to go for this. Something along the lines of Band of Brothers, or perhaps the History Channel's series on the American Revolution, The Revolution. A season or two's worth of hour-long eps could contain every factoid posite...

Flappers, IMO.

You know, I think there should be a new name for angel-daemons. And it would apply to both of them, since daemons are more of a sub-species of angel. It would be especially helpful once (if what Stuart is hinting at comes to fruitiion in LoW) other species of outworlders start showing up and stirri...

If you want, Stuart, I can go on Amazon and write a review completely trashing the story and declaring than all Christians should boycott this product immediately. People of deviant sexual lifestyle becoming humanities heroes! God not only not being supreme but being a jerk as well! Tony Blair taki...

After having re-read TSW and TSW:P several times, there does seem to be some comedic potential contained therein, to wit: "A demon walked up to me and said that it hadn't had a bite in two weeks, so I bit him" "A demon walked up to me and asked if it could borrow twenty dollars until...

Either that or none at all, but, yeah.

I for one must say that getting the Mythbusters in there should qualify as a Crowning Moment of Awesome. I can't wait to see what the TVTropes page says about that one >_> Also, a couple of suggestions on the book cover: 1. Drop the "???" - it just simply doesn't look right. 2. Shrink the ...

How strong were Yahweh's barriers? Could he have withstood missiles like those that killed Satan? Almost certainly, I should think. If they were already up, then it would be difficult to kill him. If hit from behind by supersonic missiles (or nearly silent general purpose/laser-guided bombs), he wo...

Because that totally wouldn't blow his cover or anything >_>

Isn't every human a servant of someone, though? Much like the angels, I mean. So if you were, to make up a random name, SSgt. Thomas York of the 22nd SAS, you'd be Thomas-Lan-something. And if you picked the wrong name to follow that "Lan" you're more screwed than a chicken in a Samurai-ex...

My question is, what with the superhuman vision of the angels (remember, the one angel was able to see Russian Sukhois many miles distant), how in General Dynamics Land Systems' name would any person with a gun, even an SAS trooper, not get instantly found out and swarmed in the city?

Gogyra wrote:Does it specifically mention somewhere that Yahweh is wingless?

I was thinking along those lines myself...

So there are two non-Angelic beings: Yahweh-class: massive wingless humanoids. Yahweh and Elhmas were this. Uriel-class: massive jet black winged humanoids. Uriel and Satan were this. Fell in with the existing Angels just fine. Sounds logic and understandable. Wasn't Elhmas flying over the Incompar...

I just don't get where people get off saying Michael has crossed a Moral Event Horizon. Everything he's done in Heaven has been necessary to prevent a human-induced Mass Extinction Event in Heaven. The situation, as best as I can sum it up: Yahweh is ruling Heaven a bit like Iosif Stalin, but with t...

1kt... according to this nuclear blast calculator, which I've used a few times in the past: http://fas.org/programs/ssp/nukes/nuclear_weapon_effects/nuclearwpneffctcalc.html Looks like a ground burst outright does about a 5-10 block radius, but with the fallout not being shown in the chart, I couldn...

Then my bad for being uninformed.

Considering the goverments track them very closely, I'd say it would be hard. Then again, goverments also track nuclear weapons, and they still sell in the black market like hot cakes... Oh, really? I guess Al Queda just lucks out on the sales then? Or maybe North Korea just bought a few well past ...

And then you get into the familiar pattern of tech versus countermeasure. The mob then starts jamming cell towers (that is still how they detect portals, correct?) at random and occasionally putting through a portal when they want to do a job.
