I'll offer my speculation, since more than anything, the Sarlacc has always been a source of interest for me: 1: There is a general debate among sourcebooks as to whether or not the Sarlacc is more plant than animal. If so, it would possibly function like a venus fly-trap and could be capable of, if...

The Orthodox take the phrase "he who would be first shall be last" literally. Each Patriarch is an equal, and the same *should* hold for the Pope. But when they split, he was the only one and so the whole thing about equals kind of got thrown out the window, leading to all the "Vicar...

Having been on the receiving end of disownment, I can attest that it's pretty shitty. My grandparents disowned my parents after my mother converted to Catholicism, and doubly disowned me after they found out I was a quote, unquote "damn, dirty liberal." My grandfather died before I really ...

I'd offer the exact chapter and verse, but honestly, I don't have them. My zeal for memorizing Bible verses sort of died the same time my faith di...

For the most part, I'd have to agree that the Orthodox get lumped in with Catholic, as that seems to be a 'catch-all' phrase, just as Protestant is. It'd get really tedious to get bogged down in the semantics of listing every sect and off-shoot, especially when new ones seem to spring up almost ever...

One thing I was wondering is: are the Sith ships in KOTOR new designs? or are they Rakatan designed ships? I'm just wondering how flexible the Star Forge is at creating different designs of ships. I don't know if there is an official word, but the consensus seems to be that the Star Destroyer precu...
