Babar, you say "A person knows the Truth... Maybe it' s the only in the World who knows it... He is right, the others are wrong". I basically agree here. That can happen. One person can be the only who owns the truth in the world. It actually happened before, when someone said something newthat finally was real.

And then, your stalement fails... you say that the "believers" are an example of that... You can' t know that. You examine yourself and tell "This belief is so strong, that I can' t be wrong" False... Strenght of beliefs do not determine the truth. You can find very amart people who are socialists... You can find very smart people who are conservative.

What about if you find someone who has the same certain of the opposite? If you find someone who is so sure about the innexistence of God will your beliefs rumble? Because that God does not exist is probably the thing I am more sure about.

No... Strong beliefs do not make a belief true. Only truth makes believe be true.

You can' t prove God exists. I can' t prove It doesn' t... But I can tell there are no evidences, at least. You can' t say there are.

I can say that believing in God is comfortable and that' s probably the psicologycal reason of why so many adult, inteligent people do. You can' t say that being skeptical is comfortable.

I can say that, historically, promising a paradise to those who follow the variable ideas of the Church has been a tool for the Church which has given it a surprising amount of power. You can say "The missuse of the idea of God by the church does not mean it does not exist...", but you can' t refutate the previous idea.

So... We have logical againt faith. I don' t need it. If someones need it, I won' t be the one telling them they must reject the faith... But please, don' t try to make me belief in fairy tales because you need them.

But, when asked for evidences, believers can' t do anything else than taking the debate to odd fields like "faith", "miracles", "prophecies" and "visions"... So, I think that this is much illustrative...

Sorry for the missunderstanding Jet, What I was basically saying was "I don' t care of the date, because I am free to attend at any time in summer, but I' d like to see as much freinds as possible"

Explain me something... Are you deffending the existence of God, denying the existence of "Truths", or "realities"?

I don' t know how this debate started, by, you, believers, what are basically saying is "We can' t be sure if the Earth rotates once a day... But God exist, that' s true"?

Don' t you see how contradictory that is?

-We can' t be sure if Nikolas exist... he might be an hallucination... But God is real. Maybe nothing exists... Then the evidences we staled about the existence of God are allucinations as well... But God is real.

You, believers, must put eveything in doubt because the "existence of God" is a knowleadge that is in the same bag as "The World is flat" and "The Earth is in the middle of the Universe". You must put in doubt that the earth rotates, because, otherwise, God will go to the bin with this ancient theories. This one has lasted more just because it' s basically nice. Be nice and go to Heaven, you are forgiven, blah, blah...

Anyway, still, a silly argument, because if nothing exists, God either, IMO.

PS after seeing a reply: Nice coincidence you mentioned "Thw world is flat" Blinky. Ã, 

Yus, and remember the Skandinavians Quintaros, Petteri started terrible soon his classes, and I think that Andail might start them soon as well... I wouldn' t care to dely mittens to sept. or so, maybe it would even be cheaper, but I also want to have this friends in the trip...

all non-religious people enjoy rape, pillage and burning

Why do you think athiesm is so popular these days?

Yeah, when Christianism was popular things were better, hehe...

Sorry for giving the results 40 mins. before the deadline, but I am in a hurry... I decided to remove the award to SSH, because there is no sprite... They are just a bunch or intros! So... I hope to be fair... It'sÃ,  been really, really difficult to decide the winner, gold and silver were really close, and I decided by the size. The most size, the most working time... It' s a way to decide that I don' t like too much, but the originality of Mr_Frisby was so great that it almost gets the supperb tecnique showed by...

Special mentions to: Khrismuc... (Very close to get the Grammy... neat way to sollute in low res, but I was not totally happy with the pallete and some of the placing of the pixels... Still great), Das Plans, Tocsik, Clip, Ali (a bit rushed maybe?Ã,  ) and Tiki...

To the others, thanks, but you need to practise a bit to get the mentions... But participating is the first step, you' ll improve more and more, I am sure. Take this as a challenge, "in the next SJ I'll get a mention, man!"

No, but seaching posts made months ago to keep a discussion does...

You are underage, and undersmart... If that word exists.

I decided to declare SSH the winner... So, you still have some hours to get the minor awards.

But then, God has any power over us, or the things around us? Because if he has, no free will... If he hasn' t, why worshipping him any longer than just the gratitude to something he did 20,000,000,000 years ago?

It' s great to respect the craddle where you've been breed. But it finally reaches the time to abandon the craddle, no?

That' s great Dave, good luck in your project (well, in how the market replies to your product, as I am sure you' ll release this, and it¡ s going to be great, as ever).

Send a hug to the guys.

Oh come on, you are young... Anyway, talking a bit of all... I think I am screwed, my fav bands are the Beatles, Queen, Bob Marley and they Wailers, and Janis Joplin... and Elvis. So, go, go and see this guys before it' s too late.

Damn, at least I saw the Stones...

Ahhhh... great... I like it, but wait, I think I' ll need to call my acid dealer to enjoy the experience completely... I think there are some high and low notes that can only be heard in a lisergic trip...

I' ll tell ya how it went, brotha'... mmmm... acid... Aqualung... aaaah...

Come on! 9 hours left! I' ll wait till 2400, CET time, and I guess also South african time, in homage to the previous sprite jam winner... The ANT platoon is winning, it is really great, so, post awesome entries to beat them!

Just kidding.

I would hear thick as a brick and leave, I know not more of Jethro Tull... They are probably great, but I don' t have a lot of musical culture, I guess... So, anyway, congrats to you who have tickets for a concert you can really enjoy. Have a good time!

Were you there to confirm that Ieoshua Bar Iosef was born in Belen? Because many people claim that he was born in Nazareth, and the birth was after placed in Belen to make it "match" with the prophecies. Actually, I think that even the gospels don' t agree in how Ieoshua bar Iosef reached Belen, if he previously lived there, or if Iosef' s family went there to record Iosef' s name into it' s birthday place log, Belen, according to a rule of Herodes.

And can you explain me how can Ieoshua bar Iosef descendant of King David if Mary never had contact with Iosef, who was the one with the blood of King David? Mmmm...

Who cares? Both are accepted. Keep sprite jam clean of posts which are not sprites.

Oh, shit... How hypocrit I am...

EDIT:


Oh, the correct the hypocrisy, bANT of brothers, the adventure game... Out of contest, because I am the judge...

I liked Simon, but after some time I got tired of the sounds and the colours... They made 3 more versions? And how' s gonna be Simon 4? In virtual reality? Polytones in spite of beeps?

The "believers" like to say "Wow! The prophecy worked 200-300... 1,000 years after the prediction! That' s impressive! How long the time to the prophecy to become true can be! These are LONG TERM PROPHECIES! Woah!" And they assume that, the more time happens till the prophecy becomes true, the better. That' s uncorrect. As much time happens, the most plausible a vague prophecy becomes.

For instance.

"A person coming from the sun rise will attack the leader, and a war will start, and the fidels will get closer between they each other, and they will prevail. Jerusalen will burn when the moon shines"

In less than 500 something simillar will happen... Am I a Prophet?

I've seen screenshots of MI4, after this thread... And it was not just not funny, but also the graphics were terrible terrible poor...
