I'm making a religion based on Emergence.

History class would have been boring, though.

All those wars avoided and all.

Blarg.  It would have read like the more boring parts of Livy, without all the cool stuff.

Okay. Except everything I've written about Sustaining is copyright. Where reference to previous sources is due, I have given it. That means you can't use The Process of Sustaining, The Progenitor, or Emergence as the creative metaforce without my permission.

Good luck trying to come up with different material as coherent, whole and fulfilling as mine.

Kai,

You can copyright text, but you can't copyright a concept.

I can force you to quit misrepresenting me though.

Good luck writing down the concept without using the copyrighted text.  Also, trademarking is fun, and the only actual proof of original authorship is having the earliest verifiable date/time stamping.

I think what Kai means to say here is that he took my interpretation of emergence as somehow being his religious canon.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Kai, let me know when you want the topic split.

Which I have. Earliest date/time for The Process of Sustaining is June, 2006.

Kai, let me know when you want the topic split.

Thanks. I'm just sorta running with this for now. I figure this thread is a long term topic so more or less immune to destructive threadjack in the long term.

No, what I was saying was I don't want you misrepresenting what I was saying. Which you were, and have, SEVERAL times in this thread.

The post starting with:

No, it posits...

being the most recent offense.

In other words, I'LL answer for what I wrote.

[LMNO]

I laugh at your emergent inquisition.

You'll be laughing out the other side of your neck, heretic.

Remember the Gnostics?  Neither do I.

Precisely - inquisitions were the brainchild of the heretical offshoots.

WTF?

The only way this makes sense is that the Catholic Church is a heresy against the original teachings of Christ.

Not even then.  It's more like he was saying that the Gnostics exterminated themselves.
