| | The day was founded to honor all the faithful departed and along with the offerings and the Office of the Dead, there are three Requiem Masses that are said by the clergy to assist the souls from Purgatory to Heaven. | | | The Day of the Dead was revealed as a result of amalgamation of Pre-Spanish Indian ritual beliefs and the imposed ritual and dogma of the Catholic church. | | | Early references have them being sold for the Day of the Dead during the mid 18th century, while some records date them as far back as the pre-Hispanic period. |

| | Nietzsche, God and Doomsday by Henry Bayman |
| | For if we equate God with a certain man—granted, a great and wonderful man—then when that man dies, we are justified in saying that "God is dead (or crucified)." Thus when Nietzsche speaks about "the death of God," he is also talking about the death of Christ on the cross. | | | The formula: "God is dead" appears, to be sure, in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, but it makes its first appearance in Section 108 of The Joyous Science (1882), written two years before Zarathustra during Nietzsche's so-called positivist period. | | | Nietzsche's madman reveals the consequences of "God is dead": "... |

| | GoD is dead - Graffë Forums |
| | Ok, maybe not dead but the signs are there that this will evolve into an expansion for the elite of EQ, and not visited or discussed regularly by the common folk out there. | | | I may be wrong with my impression, but it seems to me that GoD is quickly fading into the sunset of it's day of popularity and people are already looking forward to something new, such as the new graphics engine and new wish lists for AAs and new zones, etc. | | | It is good to have content to work towards, and with GoD it appears that the barrier to access isn't just some bottleneck or timesink (like bane weapon farming or backflagging), but is moreso the result of the difficulty of the encounters, and the gear and character advancement necessary to engage the content succesfully. |

| | The day after the massacre, Goltz had visited the neighboring city of Aghdam (estimated population 60,000) and witnessed the Khojali survivors straggling in with tales of the horror that they had just passed through. | | | There were 477 that day, but the number did not include those missing and presumed dead, nor those victims whose entire families had been wiped out and thus had no one to register them. | | | Most of the bodies remained inaccessible, in the no-man's land between the lines that had become a killing zone and a picnic for crows. |

| | So the Latter-day Saints to-day would be of all men the most miserable if they did not recognize this principle of preaching to spirits in prison and baptism for the dead. | | | The Latter-day Saints, then, feel to congratulate themselves upon this point-that they have built their faith upon a rock which cannot be destroyed, and that will exist not only through the ages of time, but throughout all the endless ages of eternity. | | | At Kirtland, in the days of their infancy, when the labors which they performed were very arduous in comparison with the labors the Latter-day Saints have to perform to-day in the building of these temples, they built another temple. |

| | With the Dead Zone, and with other shows based on novels, something in the story sparked the imagination with the producers of the show, probably wanting to know more about the characters; answering the questions by writing the episodes we see now. | | | I think The Dead Zone is one of if not the best shows on television. | | | The episode was a series of dead zone visions, just as the past weeks episode where he slept with the woman trying to decide if she was going to except her boyfriends proposal was also one continuous dead zone vision with details changed over and over until he got the outcome he wanted. |
