try that, mess around with pattern, diffusion, and noise

Enough. Thank you.

1. God doesn't exist.
2. God exists.

Suppose you're wrong. In the 1st case, you'll end up spending an eternity in hell. In the 2nd case, you've needlessly tried to live a good, ethical life. Which is worse?

meanwhile I've wasted half my life in church/praying/reading the bible/fearing for my friends and family who are going to hell/worry if I'm going to hell/worrying if I'm leading a godly life/etc

Believing in a god "Just in case" is one of the stupidest reasons to believe in a god.

also, one can test the claims made of believers in god. Prayer affects the real world in some way, test it.

I didn't say US hands are sensible.

N...no. Not at all...

North Korea makes a nuke, sells it to a group of jerks, the jerks detonate it in a city, thousands and thousands of people die.

when an adventure game character says "What a crazy adventure game this is!" that's breaking the forth wall. Reaching out to the viewer and speaking to them as if the character is aware of the real world.

also, MORE MORE MORE linus!

The bible isn't evidence either, if you're using the word 'evidence' formally.

Actually helm, the bible is evidence because it says it is. If a rational human being were presented with any other "proof" of this nature for a different case they would not accept it.

colossal asshole.

I take offense to that!

Calacver:

The character of Emily Rose (a fictitious name) is based on the true story of Anneliese Michel, a young German Christian woman who died in 1976 after unsuccessful attempts to cure her from the alleged state of demonic possession with the means of psychotropic drugs. The court accepted the version according to which she was epileptic, refusing to accept the idea of supernatural involvement in this case. Two priests involved in the exorcism on her, as well as her parents, were found guilty of manslaughter resulting from negligence and received sentences, generating controversy. The girl's grave is still a place of pilgrimage for many Christians.

A sick person is killed by ignorant people.

I hope you're joking, Mordalles.

Of course there is evidence. The Bible is evidence, the number of believers is evidence. It is not enough evidence to prove, true, but you can't say that that isn't evidence.

Logical Fallacy

Appeal to Common Belief
This fallacy is the argument that a claim must be true because many people believe it. It ignores the possibility, demonstrated frequently throughout history, that the majority can be completely wrong. The popularity of an idea or claim is often based upon features other than logic or evidence.

Believers aren't evidence, sorry.

The Tiger Lillies, an awesome band, made a stage show and album based off of it, it's amazing.

Sylpher is asking, how can Nintendo be lazy when there are hundreds of game developement companies that reuse and rehash old ideas repeatedly?

Also, both of you calm down please.

I feel the same way. If nintendo actually releases a game on the Wii that I like, I'll have no problem buying it. The reason why I'm shifting toward the PS2 is because nintendo has become noticablely lazier on making their games.

Explain?

Skyfire, grow up or shut up. Or go away until you have grown up. Thank you.

it's 2000 for the week split up among the entire group.

Scotch is dumb!

I am interested. So is my girlfriend. We are interested. It appears to only be 5 hours from us. We could even drive there! Awesome.

Also, Jess and I would probably be driving over so if anyone wants to meet in Albany [through the airport or whatever] and drive over with us that would be cool with us!

Look, I'm FROM the future... And I'm ok!

These aren't tumors, they're future bumps! They're all the rage! Get 'em tattooed! Get 'em pierced! Put a little hat on them! It's awesome!

why didnt they go the extra mile and try to appeal to graphic loving gamers as well  Ã, 

to keep it cheap and accessable to as many people as possible. That's not lazy.
