Actually no, it's not. Many dictionaries go off the old (incorrect) definition of atheism, or use a loose definition of Strong Atheism in place of a wholly accurate definition. It's basically the same as how america is having all these debates on the definition of "marriage" when it has...

Not all muslims are terrorists, but the koran does call for terrorism, and many listen. It's the same as how not all christians are homophobes, but the bible demands homophobia and a big chunk of their population consequently are homophobic. Of course, most people are just incredibly stupid...

How about calling it closed. if this continues. Lemonking's been warned. Ytse: It's called "most countries on Earth". And you haven't been persecuted for "thousands of years." You're probably no older than twenty and I doubt you've experienced much persecution at all. The point of reflecting on...

All religions are needlessly violent to some extent. The most moderate christian stands by while his friends and family burn in hell. The most pacifistic buddhist would refuse to fight to stop a war. Of course, jewish people aren't anywhere near being pacifists. Most people are retarded about...

This is delicious. :imu: "I don't believe in those RETARDS with their flintstones version of the past. No, I believe FAR MORE REASONABLY that an ultracomplicated spaceman zapped all these trillions of trillions of particles out his mind, yet is really bad at public speaking." No joke...

Nah, I don't buy that. There may be some "pressure" but that pressure is, itself, another aspect of the religion. You better believe that tons of christians refuse inter-faith and/or interracial marriages. So, is christianity a race too? Your genetic makeup has absolutely nothing to do with...

I'm not seeing anything deleted, so it must have been a connection snafu. Try it again.

I do have something to say: You're taking the rock-solid stance of "not being conspi-retarded like Lemonking" and corrupting it with an unhealthy dose of shallow hypocracy. Tell me, what exactly makes hatred of judaism so vile and hatred of islam so noble? I hate both religions and...

No, no, that is entirely possible. All you need are for two earthquakes to take place on either side of the red sea in the right locations so that the area that moses stood in front of and prepared to cross would just so happen to be directly inbetween both epicenters, and the water would be...

You both do, and this thread was doomed from the beginning because of it.

^ Qou the author most verily. I think it would save load of time just to change his sig to "muslim bad, jewish good". I am honestly bewildered by this trend of defending religions that you don't believe in. Given that the US gives Israel a disproportionate shit-ton of aid, you'd think that the...

What the pills you been popping; that's nigh incomprehensible. As far as I can tell though, you are saying: -The bible is good because it teaches you not to think, and will reward you for thinking less. -In pursuit of not thinking, you accept that Noah's ark was found "somewhere on TV"...

Exactly, it's not so much a belief as it is a lack of ignorance. The fact that genes have a large deal of impact on development is basically irrefutable; the question is to what extent that impact takes.

What makes the game work is that it's linear with options. Episode 2 provides more options, but the idea is the same. There really aren't any truly nonlinear games, that have a plot.

I say go for it. If they can do that for a pig, they can do that for a dying person. This isn't some kind of torture situation, which would be immoral, because the pig was drugged to feel no pain. Any sensible person would rather have a pig die in a test to save lives than as just another...

Fantastic Planet Ghost in the Shell Ghost in the Shell 2 The Triplets of Bellville Wizards This thread has got me noting that I don't watch enough animated stuff. Mainly because damn near everything north american outside of pixar is utter shite. Thank god for Ralph Bakshi.

Apparently it's meant to be a character from near the test chamber, probably with a speaking role. Rosenberg was right outside the test chamber's lower level, but gordon never actually saw him. Simmons appeared pretty much at random and Dr. Walter Bennet is referenced in all three HL1...

I have no idea what the you're talking about, because you've provided no sources. What anger? How widespread? That's basic info. How about some context to go with the constant influx of youtube videos. Not just for you, but for everybody. Now it's no surprise that Islamic people are angry over...

I'm simultaneously a skeptic, agnostic, ignostic and strong atheist (for the first and third reasons listed). Slightly apatheistic too. I don't gave a shit about god as much as I do the followers.

None of them. I come from a fairly pure outsider perspective; I can't claim to have been horribly persecuted by any religion beyond the level of irritation, nor I was taught or otherwise compelled to become atheist either. And man does it ever feel good, not to have had such thoughts...
