Re: The Dark Tower

Yeah, we really seem to have strayed from the subject. And neither of us seems to have changed our opinions about that subject. So I think I am done discussing it.

I still don't like the "ending"...

Re: The Dark Tower

Finally, I don't know if you are serious here but I will assume that you are and that saddens me. What I said wasn't sexist at all, what it was was an amusing anecdote on how men and women as a...

Re: The Dark Tower

I am not suggesting that the Tower tells him exactly what to do, I am suggesting guidance. Your mother didn't tell you exactly what to do when she said be good. She didn't say, don't kill the...

Re: The Dark Tower

That the Tower communicated to Roland is highly debatable, if you have no memory of a conversation, does it occur? If you tell something to someone that is sound asleep, have you communicated with...

Re: The Dark Tower

I think you missed my point about the Aztecs. My point was that as far as the knew, they were good people. What they wre doing was the accepted thing in their society. Their priests that were killing...

Re: The Dark Tower

The scenario you outline is the exact opposite of free will. If you program a robot it will do exactly what you program it to do. That seems to be incredible close to what the Tower is doing to...

Re: The Dark Tower

I didn't say that people can make up for their past transgressions. I said that Jesus paid the price to atone for all of them. That is different.

Re: The Dark Tower

I think you have a bad grasp of what Christianity believes. I am not a Christian as I do not follow the teachings of Christ but I was raised in a Christian household. It isnt about being able to do...

Re: The Dark Tower

I dont believe in re-incarnation. I do believe you only get one chance at it to get to right. Not some "do as much evil as you want because sometime, you can make it up and still reach Nirvana"...

Re: The Dark Tower

So long as a being exists, there is a chance of anything. The likely hood of that chance varies but the possibility of if is always there.

That being said, there is a chance that you are correct...

Re: The Dark Tower

As I said, we have to agree to disagree.

Here is what we KNOW. The iteration we read and the next iteration are different from each other. We can ASSUME that the iteration we read is also...

Re: The Dark Tower

Well, we are just going to have to agree to disagree. I dont think that this was the goal of the book nor do I get that from my reading of the book. You say that the "book clearly is showing that the...

Re: The Dark Tower

I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving.

So, to be straight here, you think that the Tower is working to make Roland a better person so that he can achieve some kind of Nirvana or the equivalent? If...

Re: The Dark Tower

Isn't it sad that after 7 books we have to debate what the ending of this means?

But let me turn this back on you, you quoted the promise and used it to point to the fact that it helps make your...

Re: The Dark Tower

And you made me go and pull me copy to take a look. You are correct in the quote but once again we differ on the meaning. You look at it as a promise that he MIGHT be able to find an ending. But I...

Re: The Dark Tower

Sisyphus's task was unending but not nessessarily unchanging, I mean sometimes the rock might have rolled back down on his right side, sometimes on his left, sometime over his foot. It's possible.

Re: The Dark Tower

I totally understand why you HOPE the horn has meaning. And no I am not assuming that the horn being with him on this go around is a random event. What I am stating is the FACT that we don't KNOW...

Re: The Dark Tower

I understand why people are saying this is a great ending to the story but I have to continue to disagree. It might be a good ending IF Roland realised that this was happening and that he has a...

The rule he threw out was that no one on either of these "Main" worlds could travel back in time on those timelines. That was a very important rule considering how he ended this story. In fact, it...

I think I have said this before but here is my two cents again.
