Personally I can't keep up with them anymore and I've lost interest in them. It seems like now they just want something to say instead of wanting to say something. I'd probably read them again if there were only like one good one per month. Otherwise I'd rather spend my time in Off-Topic and General Discussion.

I never played Stealing Creations. I don't know if it's worth doing since it's a matter of: Spending time to get the items VS Spending more time on the traditional method of training. But yeah, when I manage to get all 80's I'll be a happy duck. :D -74 Agility

I have a feeling that even if Exploration consisted of sailing, people would still say, "SEE! I told you the Sailing Skill wasn't going to come out!!" :lol:

If God did exist, I really wouldn't expect him to be anything like what religions claim. The idea of a being who is the mind-work behind the way the universe is - that's what I'm arguing for.

You're an idiot, Zierro. That's a horrible way to make a prediction. :notalk:

You disagree with my responses and then you almost do the same thing that I was trying to do? I agree that atheists can have their views but when they try to make a theist's view sound unjustified or that it's the same as believing the toothfairy, then I'm going to play on the defense. PS: I like how you skipped over the main point in that example. You didn't mention the part where I said, "I'm not an expert on gravity but I still believe it." And atheism certainly can make you depressed and feel insignificant. Like I said before, an atheist and a theist can live pretty much the same life. It just depends on the person. As for me, my lifestyle changed for the worst while I was an atheist and has gotten better since I went back to agnosticism. Benefits =/= Good reasons. By good reasons, I meant it is justifiable to hold those beliefs. Not beneficial. You argued earlier that there are no benefits... Not saying that it's the reason why I believe, but you claimed there were none. I don't believe for the benefits though. I'm just saying the fact that my life has shaped up because I started being open-minded about God again is what justifies my beliefs. That does not tell me that God doesn't influence the universe. It only shows he didn't influence it in that specific instance. Again, you're only bringing up specific religions.

[hide=]Negative proof, the fallacy of appealing to lack of proof of the negative, is a logical fallacy of the following form: "X is true because there is no proof that X is false." It is asserted that a proposition is true, only because it has not been proven false. The negative proof fallacy often occurs in the debate of the existence of supernatural phenomena, in the following form: "A supernatural force must exist, because there is no proof that it does not exist". However, the fallacy can also occur when the predicate of a subject is denied: "Religious people haven't been able to produce conclusive evidence to support the existence of a "God", therefore such a being must not exist." [/hide] In other words, just because we have no proof that doesn't automatically mean it is definitely not true which you seem to be saying. Wow, talk about blowing statistics out of proportion to prove a point. You assume that the only aspect of Sailing is transportation from point A to point B. Whether you want to deny it or not, that is lack of imagination. That's the same as saying, "L0l Prayer?! Who wants a skill where you sit in church on your butt all day?!roflmayo"

4/10 I think the name is familiar..

Exactly. Call it a coincidence but I think it's odd how my anti-God years were the most depressing and since I've turned my head back to God again, good things have been happening to me ever since.

10455 Well TIF's lucky that they have a guy like me around. :mrgreen:

I'm keeping my eye on you Run4runes... :evil: 10457

If you're talking about how people refuse to go to the hospital because they believe God would save them if that's what his intentions were, then you're right. People shouldn't be doing that. However, if I were to believe God, does that automatically mean my lifestyle would change for the worst? I don't think so. It's nothing more than having something at the back of your mind. In fact I think an atheist and a theist can have almost the same exact lifestyles. I don't see why we should look at the benefits of our beliefs at all. Our actions are what we should be looking at when it comes to benefits - not the actual belief. There would be? Please enlighten me. What sorts of influences are you looking for? God to cleanse the world of evil?

10459 Dang, we were off.

Building add-ons to your boat, spotting new land, traveling through storms, finding treasure, and the list goes on... Seriously, the only thing making you people think Sailing is a bad idea is your lack of imagination.

And neither is your existence if you want to get technical. As long as there is someone saying the evidence isn't sufficient enough, then you can say nothing is a fact. If you ask me, I'd say there is a lot of evidence pointing to the fact that Jagex gives their players what they want.

Facts? :lol: He probably means the fact that Jagex isn't dumb enough to not release something which obviously has a lot of hype surrounding it.

Good luck with 80 Mining. You'll be caught up to me. :P

I'll be trying in this order: Herblore Runecrafting Construction Agility

I've never heard of such a thing. You remember any examples?
