If everything is "Spiritual", doesn't that mean it has no opposite? Doesn't that mean it loses all it's contrast? Why...everything?

...Isn't that also just another way of saying nothing is Spiritual?

This is why it's my least favourite word. "Spiritual" can be taken to mean fucking anything. It's the vaguest bastard word ever :S

Well if you watched it you'd know. He says, for instance, that in the time of Jesus there was nothing 'but' spiritual. He's big on 'spiritual' generally.

Well I don't agree either but he's incredible on the other stuff.

It's just his presentation style that I quite like. Very engaging. Smile

Kidnapped BORING?! Shock How in the worst hell imaginable do you find Kidnapped BORING?! Shock Of course it is "predictable"... it is written in a similar style to Tolken, who was absolute GENIUS.

And a tale of two cities is one of Dickens' best... I'd put "A Christmas Carol" as number one... but A Tale of Two Cities ties in second with a few others...

Talk about sacrilege :o(

Yea I like that too. In his books he has a lot of spaces and pauses which sorta reflects his oratory style.
