Which brings up a good point: when we do hit 100,000 posts (if we do, maybe someone will delete the forum at post 99999), what happens next? Does the goal extend to 200000, does the thread get locked, do we all die, etc?

Well, in the case Loosey won't have deleted the whole thread long time before that, I'd guess some of the moderators will change the threat title even before we would reach that number. Or they'll have locked it, maybe sometime around post 99.992. I know I might, in their place :innocent:

That's like asking what happens to us after we die. Many have pondered the age old question, but no one really knows for sure. The only way we can find out is if and when we get there.

5. When the Madness Runs Deep

Cathars taught people to bugger exclusively - sound like a pretty shitty approach :ninja:

Eh? I thought it just happened to be documented more in Cathar areas, partly because moral codes weren't very strict for those who weren't Perfecti, and partly because the everyday lives of people came under intense scrutiny in the inquisition.

Cathars were Gnostics - among other things they believed (if I'm allowed to make a huge simplification) in dualism where everything spiritual was "good" and everything material was "bad" - that way, by procreating and giving birth to children, you'd practically "entrap" a pure being of light and knowledge in the dirty and sinful flesh, helping it in its damnation. That's why they proposed ways to avoid the fecundity of sexual act, among other things - yes - buggery.

To quote Aunt Wiki:

"Cathars also rejected marriage. This practice was based principally on the belief that the physical world, including the flesh, was irredeemably evil—as it stemmed from the evil principle or "demiurge".[39] Therefore, reproduction was viewed by them as a moral evil to be avoided—as it continued the chain of reincarnation and suffering in the material world. It was claimed by their opponents that, given this loathing for procreation, they generally resorted to sodomy. Such was the situation that a charge of heresy leveled against a suspected Cathar was usually dismissed if the accused could show he was legally married."

Also, in Eco's Il nome della rosa you'll get a lot of discussion of various medieval heresies, if you were interested - among other things (Dulcinians and their "Penitenziagite!" being one of the reasons Salvatore meets his unhappy and) they also discuss why Cathars were seen as such danger for both the Church and the society as a whole, but then again, it's very reader-unfriendly, so perhaps not. (I haven't seen the movie for quite some time and I remember that next to the book it seemed pretty shitty to me, so I wouldn't recommend that one).
