There's a big difference between allowing us to doubt and making sure that the "true church" looks exactly like a bad hoax.


I've seen compelling evidence either way, personally.


Exactly. Believers see an evidentiary stalemate. No one else does.

Not really, I clearly hold to the Church being true, and I do see it as a constant 50/50 of evidence in any way. You make a great point though: many disbelievers won't even allow for the possibility that anything in the Church could be true.

Mac OS X is another variant of Unix. Specifically, A BSD filesystem, all things GNU, and Apple's own Unix kernel called Mach. Combined it is called Darwin.

Unix for the masses.

Resident programs that are always running in the background of Unix/OSX are called daemons.

Get the hence from the Macintosh Gazzie!

But Bill Gates is the anti Christ, no?
