This field is optional. You can choose any name you want, or you can post anonymously by leaving this field empty.

Tripcodes are a way to identify yourself between posts without having to register with the site. To use a tripcode, enter your name as ‹name›#‹key›.You can choose anything you want as the key—it is private and will never be shown to other posters or stored on the server. For example:

Rarity#bestpony → Rarity!.4PK7yxdII

If you want a tripcode containing specific words, you can download a program designed to search for tripcodes, such as Tripcode Explorer.

Email?

Entering an e-mail is optional.

There are also code words you can enter here which perform certain actions when you submit your post.

  • sage — lets you post without bumping a thread.
  • nonoko — uses the original post behavior to redirect to the board index.

These can be used at the same time as an e-mail address by typing ‹email›#‹action›.

You can also use Skype names in place of an e-mail. The notation is the same as a link to a username on skype itself, which is skype:‹username›

Tolstoy - Kingdom of God AnonymousCountry code: us, country type: geoip, valid: 1  24388

Hey there Starshine! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but after I finished up “The Kingdom of God is Within You” I decided to go ahead and read “My Religion” which seemed to have preceded and give cause to the former. I told you that I would make this thread so that we could discuss it if you felt like it - so here it is.

Have you been well?

Hi! No problem, things have been slightly hectic on my end as well.

>I decided to go ahead and read “My Religion” which seemed to have preceded and give cause to the former.

Would you suggest I do the same? I've been considering it as well anyway.

It was a much more enjoyable read for me than “Kingdom of God.”

KoG came across as a bit angry and dismissive to me, and I didn’t feel like he laid out his theological positions sufficiently in order to make the claims he wanted to make. The focus just was not there. MR on the other hand was very well structured and he definitely made his theology much more clear, but on the flip side it definitely made it very clear how far off of Christianity he was. Also it’s not a long book, like 180 pages total, shorter than KoG.

I really really understand where that XJ9 Anon in the last thread was coming form in saying that he didn’t understand why Tolstoy still considered himself Christian.
