  1. I expect Bethesda's Fallout be Fallout in name only. Oblivion with guns so to speak, in other words... crap. The style in which the first two Fallouts are completely different in the style in which Bethesda makes their games. I would rather have Bioware do Fallout over Bethesda. Obsidian would be the optimal choice.
  2. Then the same will probably happen with Oblivion.

    Odd coloration has always been a part of the Doctor Who series, since it began using color.
  4. I don't really care if it plays a key role in people's lives today or not. My beef is in our government. There are certain individuals in the government, both on the state and federal level, is using religion to dictate policy instead of doing what is right for th people as a whole such as the people who want a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, stop the embryotic stem cell research, and imposing Intelligent Design in the classroom. Only a secular democratic government can be fair to all those being govern.

    I saw the K9 and Company episode. I thought it was pretty decent. I didn't know that about Russel T. Davies. Hmmm... Interesting.
  8. FTW!1 Doesn't make it suck less, but makes the suckage all the cheaper. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was going to say something inappropriate and definitely not PG-13, but I decided against it.
  9. If angels do exist where is the physical evidence? There is physical evidence of dinosaurs yet nothing on angels. One cannot disprove existence till existence is proven.
  10. Humans tend to bleed.
  11. Oh yes, an alien would be far more plausible than a "god." Well, maybe.
  12. Just an odd question, if you got undisputed proof that God exist, like he pops in Says "Hi" would you worship him or would you tell him "Oh, you do exist. Now go away."
  13. Lusting God? That just strikes me as... odd.
  14. Why a fool? Would you worship something that you disagreed with?
  15. I am wondering where you would classify a person who knows God exists but chooses not to worship the bugger. :ph34r:
  16. And statistics can be manipulated. Remember that.
  17. It is due to the population. If Thor had as many followers as God then all those people more than likely be offended if you tell them that their god is fictional, and have the numbers to do something about it. Millions of irate Thorites would be a sight to see.
  18. There is no difference for you cannot prove one to exist over the other, Pidesco. It is like which god exists, God or Vishnu? Ask a Christian, he would say God exists and Vishnu doesn't. Ask a Hindu and he might say both exists for they are aspects of the same being. Or something like that.
  19. If God is just as mythological as Zeus, and you do not believe in Zeus, following logic you do not truly believe in God. I think that is the point. A bit of a stretch if you ask me, for it requires the assumption that God is mythological.
  20. I am just taken what I have read and applying it on a single issue.
  21. Religion in of itself is not evil, but those who use religion for their own selfish desires and practice close-minded conservatism lead to a path that is only destructive for themselves and others.
  22. I think it is more accurate to say that he is implying that atheists are more open minded and more accepting of new ideas than those who follow religion. Such as an atheist would be more open to the idea that Homosexuality is a natural aspect, for not only is it in the presence of Homo Sapiens but also in other primates and lower animal forms, while the religious individual will see Homosexuality as wrong and evil merely on the basis of scripture written more than a thousand years ago where they lacked the understanding.
  23. Turning the other cheek, Dark Moth? I would say that his studies, while interesting, is indeed flawed. You can have a closed minded conservative atheist that shows all the same behavior and intellect as a closed minded conservative Christian. While I don't have such a vehement "disdain" nor the need for such colorful metaphors as Dark Moth, but you can manipulate statistics to fit your own ends easily enough.
  24. It isn't religion and spirituality that stunts intellect but conservative closed-mindedness. If one is open to new ideas and thought that in of itself brings enlightenment more so than any scripture or academic text.
