How did they find the second if it had no black hole? That's what they were monitoring for, after all.

I agree with Rasunda. The Ancient hyperdrives were not as fast when they left the Ori Galaxy. However, given that the Ori needed to use a Supergate to get here I believe that their galaxy is at least years away at our hyperdrive speed.
Originally posted by Lt. Col. Mcoy View PostSpoiler:Yes, I agree with you. My comment wasn't based on personal offense - how could I take offense at the truth when the Lord Jesus Christ has said he is truth? - but was rather a warning. in our post-modern culture, when you say "terrible things have been done in the name of religion," people will hear that, and nod and say to themselves "yes, religion is evil!" I know that's not what you said, and in this instance I sincerely believe it's not what you meant; I'm saying that's what people hear. You may protest that you followed with "it does have its fair share of good, too," but people won't hear that. It'll be drowned out by the sound of their cultural preconceptions chowing down on new fodder. (The words "fair share" and "too" don't help either.)
Secondly, my objection was not to the "religions have caused terrible things," as such, but mainly to reference to the Crusade(s). The Crusades are quite possibly the most misrepresented historical events in modern time. Most people don't even know why they were fighting. Now, I could launch at this point into a detailed summary (and rebuttal) of Crusade history, but I'm sure you'd rather I didn't in this thread. So then, suffice to say that the Ori "crusade" bears little-to-no resemblance to the actual Crusades, politically or motivationally (the Crusades were not proselytory). In fact, they bear much more in common with the thousand year Jihad, but I know we must be sensitive with that word nowadays.
In conclusion, I'd just like to say that the above commentary in no way infringes on my enjoyment of your writing. I simply like to warn people when I'm able. Keep up the excellent work!
Dr. DGod is the original transporter.
Acts 8:39b-40a: The Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Phillip away and the official did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. Philip, however, appeared at Azotus (an old city in ancient Israel) and traveled about.
He is also the author of love and justice:
Spoiler:Romans 5:8: But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
John 14:6: Jesus (Christ) answered: I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Dearest allies, and Teal'c is in. Don't kill Teal'c! or the Jaffa! Kill someone else! Lya, the Nox, urr who else is in the alliance? the Tok'ra! I would say the Venii but they aren't really our dearest allies.

if you mean where did they find the second one that the crusade started on then...i have no idea. they couldn't have sent ships through if it was powere by a BH...guess they use their equivalent to ZPMs.
