Actually, it's a thread about christianity bastardizing a discussion where atheists belong, making this current direction of conversation very topical.

Actually, what Jesus "fulfils" is the old covenant. He replaces it with a new covenant. A covenant is a contract with god, in which you follow his laws and are promised a reward. What is the new covenant? It is very similar to the old one, with a few minor differences. From your link: Mat...

I edited my post to further clarify my point. Jesus says specifically that the people must be killed. No dying of natural causes. Read the quote again: "SLAY THEM BEFORE ME" Does that sound passive to you? In Matthew 5:17-21, he demands you follow the Old Testament, which demands you kill...

Luke 19:27 is the last line of the Parable of the Talents. The Parable of Talents is a metaphorical story, told by Jesus, about himself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_talents The basic moral of the story is that you must use your God-given abilities to please Jesus, by following...

As retarded as that scheme would be, it would still rely on Numbers being clever enough to execute it. Judging by the effectiveness of his "satire", I'm going to go out on a limb and say nope. :P

It looks like some folks missed the point of the games. It's meant to be off the wall, in the same way the Kill Bill movies are. Remove all the "stupid jappy stuff" and you end up with Splinter Cell.

I didn't say theorhetically. I mean in real life, show me a situation in which it is considered acceptable to assume someone is anti-semetic because they are christian. Where the sentiment is widespread enough that it's a question you think is important to ask. Like that muslim congressman...

Show us a case of a Christian being asked on the radio whether he's an anti-semite or if anti-abortion fundamentalists are a terrorist group. Then we'll talk. See, that's the big problem here. Nemesis isn't mad that the guy was religious. He's mad that he's specifically islamic. A christian...

The main factor is that the scripted sequences here are much more elaborate. In HL1, it was usually just a scientist running into a room and getting killed, or talking to you with plot info. The actions are so simple that interrupting them doesn't make much difference. Also, if you kill them, it...

Is it possible to make a satire of yourself without using any exaggeration at all? The answer of course is no. In other words, Numbers acting like Kathaksung lends his character effectively no noticeable difference. "This was (semi) satire." ELEMENT: ANTIREALITY FACTFICTION VIROME...

oh shi CHILD MOLESTORS HAVE ACCESS TO PAPER AND ENVELOPES. IF THEY LEARN HOW TO WRITE THERE IS NO STOPPING THEM.

The point was that, suffice it to say, atheists have very good reason to ignore christan teachings and reject conversion. So, any discrimination isn't justified. You may now continue your regularily scheduled thread. :P

Actually, there's a further misinterpretation there: That quote is about Jesus elaborating on the definition of murder. He defines it any form of unjustified anger. Not only does Murder get the death penalty, but so do insults and angry thoughts. Anyone who shows anger without reason goes on...

Bah, what bad timing for Lemonking to show up!

Please do butt in. If more people agree, he may be more inclined to stop being pedantic. Currently, it's as though he assumes everyone reading is, basically, utterly retarded - except for him. Additions like yours disprove that notion.

Yes, that is in fact the content of the link that I just posted. Or is it? I've read the wikipedia article, but it would be helpful to other people watching if you posted a link to the wikipedia article. Web address and name. Also, could you post the exact sources from which that wikipedia...

Or they could just read the extensive wikipedia article on the subject. Or, once again, actually read the bible. Now that that is out of the way, you can start making points, right? I explained all the relevant parts. Now you must explain the parts that are more relevant, if they exist. You...

If you don't understand Deuteronomy to an adequate extent, then maybe you ought to actually, y'know, read the book. If I missed any relevant details, then point them out. If the details are not relevant, they are by definition irrelevant. Deuteronomy Jr. is the 1945 sequel to the original...

You needn't fall in love with alyx for the plot to work. In fact, you can totally snub her all the way through, if you wish, or maintain a nerdcrush on Mossman if you so desire. The point of the game of that, despite being basically linear, you can act and respond to the events however you...

You highlighted the wrong part. I was talking directly to Razaair, a christian.
