About 2 weeks ago my G5 was in for repair and my PowerBook's HD crashed bigtime. The thing would struggle to spin up and would finally shut itself down. I threw it in an external enclosure and I still couldn't get it to mount. All of the holiday pictures I'd taken of my son's 1st Xmas were on there (as well as many more family and friend pics) and the last backup I had was done right before the holidays. Normally the pictures would be on the G5 and none of this would've been that big of a deal. I contemplated using DriveSavers and actually was getting the $$$ together to have them retrieve everything. For some reason I fired up the PowerBook today and put it in target mode and the summabitch mounted! I quickly pulled over the pictures and cloned the bastard. Woooo!!

a few months ago my ibook hd died and i lost all of my pics from my family vacation to Maui. almost everything else was backed up on either .mac or my ipod. I was pissed when wataru gave me his beta of ipodbackup to try out a few weeks later cause i really could've used it a few weeks earlier. oh well, it gave me a reason to go back to Maui i suppose.

I even tried putting it in the freezer overnight. I guess these toshiba drives that are in Apple's portables are pretty durable.

God is a man, and his name is Harold. It's right there in The Lord's Prayer: "Our father who art in heaven, Harold be thy name....:

Further proof. That old Christmas carol, "Hark While Harold's Angels Sing".

Calling God male or female is an anthropomorphism, that said, in relation to the church God takes on the masculine role, thus when he deals with us it is, as our Father, brother, etc. In regards to Christ, the church is His bride. This whole She God thing is one of the more irritating things I've heard, there are groups like Wicca who believe in a goddess, that's one thing, that's their belief. However every half cocked individual who wants to be an ass makes ignorant comments like this without having studied jack and having given it any real thought. I think it should be a legal mandate that anyone who feels a need to discuss the nature of God take theology courses in all three major Monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) since they're not talking about a god, but the God.

Does it really matter if someone makes moronic comments on the sex (or lack thereof) of God, god, or gods? The Bible never says the sex of God. Frankly I'd wonder at the need to have sex anyway but I don't want to question God's personal life.

Out of curiosity, is it known why God in the bible is always "he"? I would think its either for the male dominated culture or a result of the male dominated culture..

I think he said "she" because God was a gay black man.

God created man from the dust, and some of these men created a truly fantastic program called DiskWarrior.

DiskWarrior, Disk Utility, Data Rescue x, etc. wouldn't even see it. The problems were hardware related.

I don't believe the word "he", classically, refers to a male without question. I'm under the impression that once upon a time "he" could legitimately refer to a sexually indeterminate third party, without incurring the wrath of fembot nazi's everywhere.

Linguists or whatever, back me up or shoot me down. I'm not sure.

There are theological reasons why God is characterized as male, not to suggest God pees standing up, and has a Y chromosome. If you notice Jesus always refers to God the Father as God the Holy Spirit, Jesus also refers to the Holy Spirit as a He (though if you would like I will ask one of the profs who knows Hebrew here at school if those references are gender specific). If God had been gender neutral then at least one person of the Trinity would have likely been characterized as female. Actually in calling God male we make God in our own image, which is incorrect to do. Instead we should realize that we are made in His image. Specifically Adam was made first, and Eve was made as a partner because Adam on HIs own was not complete.

I have to side with superchicken. If there is a god, it is asexual. What need to you have of genetalia if you're all powerful? And it would seem to me that describing something that is asexual as a "he" would be right, considering that most of the languages English is based on use the masculine word as a default.

Congrats on the computer crash, by the way.

In most of the orthodox churches, the Holy Spirit is considered feminine. I could give a nice detailed explaination as to why this is, but this isn't the place to do it. FWIW, IMO, they have a very good agrument and I agree with them.

I don't understand why you complain, you make a post making statements about a the God of the Christians and Jews most obviously since most other religions do not make a point to capitalize the word god in relation to their god, and then you complain when people point out your ignorance? It's offensive that you make such thoughtless comments about something that is very important to a whole lot of people in this world.

[ThinkInsane]

It truly baffles me how some of you people function in the real world, I swear to (insert what ever won't offend anyone's delicate sensibilities).
