To me God simply doesn't exist and it frustrates me that so many otherwise intelligent people can possibly believe that he does.

Belief in God makes one unintelligent?

Then it wasn't long before it became obvious that god doesn't exist.  And it is fucking obvious which is why I get so angry.

Proof?


People like you are the reason why atheists get bad names. You have hatred towards those of differing believes. You skip being rationale and jump straight to name calling. You dont believe in the existence of God because you choose not too just like I believe in the existence of God because I choose too. There is not science to support either of our views, however you turn into an angry dog at the sound of the word God. The reason that most believers mock you is not because you are an atheist, it is because of your attitude. You have a false sense of superiority. "I dont believe in God, I am smarter than you." when in fact you are making claims without scientific backing just as I am. There is no mental superiority in being an atheist. Drop it.

     I am not a church going Christian, however I believe in the moral code of the bible and the existence of God. The bible illustrates a set of laws and morals for living, this is its most important contribution to modern society. The biblical text teaches basic stuff such as not to commit murder or adultery, to respect ones parents. I live my life based on the principles of what is right and what is wrong using this document as a basic outline. The problem is not with the teachings of the bible but rather with modern religious establishments. Money and evangelical teachings have become so ingrained in Christian culture that it has become ludicrous. People are pushing their sects farther and farther apart with extreme beliefs in order to differentiate their faith from other Christian faiths.
     The belief in God does not mean total disregard for science. I believe in evolution both micro and macro, however I also believe that god created the original organism from which all life stemmed. I believe that God set in motion the universe in such away as it doesn't require constant interaction. This is a rather deist view but I hold to it. The laws of science are so advanced that there has to be a greater being, a being that scientists have not been able to disprove for over two millenniums. Atheists that challenge the existence of God are dolts, you can challenge a religion, however challenging the existence of God without proof for the contrary is nothing more then pure madness derived from a mind that wishes for there to be no God. Faith in God is not the same as faith in a religion. Faith in God could very well be engraved in our psyches. Epileptic seizures have been found to give even atheists faith experiences. Science has no explanation for these visions much like it has no way to disprove the existence of God. I want to finish up this post with a joke I read the other day that is fitting of this thread.

God is sitting in Heaven when a scientist says to Him, “Lord, we don't need
you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of
nothing. In other words, we can now do what you did in the ‘beginning.'”

“Oh, is that so? Tell me…” replies God.

“Well, ” says the scientist, “we can take dirt and form it into the likeness
of You and breathe life into it, thus creating man.”

“Well, that's interesting. Show Me.”

So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil.

“Oh no, no, no…” interrupts God,


“Get your own dirt.”

in google:

?intitle:index.of? mp3 ***

replace *** with song name or band name.
I prefer

intitle:"index.of" (mp3) out.of.touch -html -htm -php -asp -cf -jsp

out.of.touch = song name or artist. User periods for spaces.

A rough lighting job with a ceiling mounted light. Need to do some shadows and touch up a few areas.



Edit: A different tone I think makes it seem much more comfortable. I think I am going to have to change the wooden border on the floor.

The enormous size of the speakers is intentional. I do like the idea of a ceiling light however when I was planning it I was thinking  a window on the wall where the camera is. Something along the lines of this. Just a quick render, just to show what I mean. I understand what you are saying about the kitchen entrance being high, however in most of the houses in my area large openings such as I depict are a common architectural element. I will experiment a little with ceiling mounted lighting. The roughness of the surfaces from the noise is also intentional, instead of a warm inviting room I was thinking along the lines of turning it into a cold desolate one.

I added a piece of furniture under the tv. I think that really brings the room down to size. I experimented a bit with hardwood floors, I think that also makes it seem a bit better. A throw rug is probably all that is needed now to make it more inviting. When I start to do colors and textures I will make it a lot warmer. Cool purples and browns seem to make it look desolate.

Edit, added rug.

Yep, there will be a door there.  Just filled it to get a rough idea.

This is linework for the most part. No texturing at all at this stage. I will experiment a little with side tables and see how it turns out.

The colors and all that stuff aren't final, just using them to get a rough idea. The room seems rather empty however. Any ideas on what to add to give it a more inviting feeling? I was considering a lamp on the near wall by the kitchen or perhaps some electronics under the tv. That might make it seem cluttered however. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think it needs the black foreground like in the original. The foreground brought style to the seirra games in my opinion.
