Personally, I've never cared for the term 'worship' in regards to religion or spirituality, simply because it implies no critical thought is necessary. When dealing with something as sacred as Deity, a great deal of thought is necessary. It/He/She shouldn't be trivialized. I suppose I would say 'honor' or 'keep sacred' rather than 'worship.'

I get your point, Ulrike, but I still think there needs to be room for worship along with the thought. It is true that a sense of awe may be a mere emotional reaction, but reason also has its limits and can only take you so far. I tend to value personal experience over a dogmatic approach, but I do not think worship is the same as blind acceptance of what others say about religion.

I agree that worship shouldn't be <0> a blind approach, but that is how the word most often gets used, so I avoid it.

OK, is everyone afraid of the religious talk?

How about opinions on the Hitchhiker movie? Where can I download the trailer? Also, is it true Joss Whedon is doing a Spike centered movie--I know you all know these things--share!

spike the vamp?

Yes Spike the Vampire--Sweet, sacastic and sexy. I doubt he'd make one about the chatterbot :-) (most Spikebot fanfic reads like porn anyway). So far, it's just a rumor, but I guess James Marsters has made some sort of comment about it.

Whedon's said he's in talks. But get this: Marsters said he'd have to do it soon, since he's 'getting old'.

Getting old? They can make up some reason why that is--cosmic flack, shanshu side effect, curse from Angel...anything. I'll buy it.

I have to admit to being a buffy, angel and spike fan myself.

Ah, Ladydyke, you have wonderful taste. My new favorite DVD's are Damo, a Korean series with English subtitles. You won't see a villian in a leather jacket, but the "undercover female female detective" is worth seeing.

Anyone a fan of film noir? I'm rather getting in to the genre. I've seen so many spoofs of the Maltese Falcon that I really need to rent the real thing!

Maltese Falcon is okay, but not so wonderful in my taste... Saw it in a film class.
