You perceive pre-marital sex to be a "good" thing. Statistics show it is not. Yea, it feels good, blah de blah, but that doesn't make it good. That is lustful, so...Yea. I don't know what else to say, you're one of those people who are anti-religion because it hinders your desires, those people usually label themselves "Satanists". Not that you worship Satan, of course, it's just what they call themselves, lol.

Who cares about a rock? Then how would we ever learn? We'd just be frikkin' robots. Well, according to Christianity, he died for our sins, so that self-sacrifice was kinda considered necessary by both God and Jesus. 1) he should, since he created it. Besides, he is supposedly all loving, that isn't limited to just living animals you know. 2)We won't need to learn- there's no way anything would happen to us. we can still have fun, free will etc. Just without any consequences. 3)he died to forgive our sins. god could of done that without his son dying. Wrong. God cannot simply forgive your sins for no reason, just like a judge cannot tell you "You're free to go" if you simply say "Oops. My bad." God has always required sacrifice. Do you know why God took the dead lamb as a sacrifice instead of the fruit when Cain and Abel made offerings to God? Because God needs a sacrifice. This is why Jesus is called "The Lamb of God" sometimes. You have a blood-debt to God, and only blood can make it up to him. I know it sounds grotesque and evil, but that's only because society tells you it is these days. Back then it was cool. Heck, Muslims sacrifice lambs and their own blood to this day for whatever reason. Christians, however, have already had their sacrifice given to them. Jesus took it upon himself to save us. And no, I don't think killing a lamb would appease God anymore, so I wouldn't try it. :P There is an entire philosophy behind all this that I really don't want to get into because it's TOOOOOO darn long, but I'll, umm...Here, I may have a video for you that can explain it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNz1Jd-Umec There ya' go. Goes into Islam and why they still do the blood sacrifice crap and why Christians don't have to. it's not the BEST video on why, since it's more of an anti-Islam video than a pro-Christian theology video, but it's all I have at the moment. :P

or maybe he was on some kind of drugs? When Israel was established in 1948, that was a fulfilled prophecy. The Bible says Israel would be re-established. Coincidence? Okay, let's say it is! Well, the Bible continues, saying that when it is re-established, it will be surrounded by enemies from all sides. Now, when Israel was established, that VERY day, the five Muslim countries surrounding Israel attacked Israel all at once. They were all defeated, as the Bible said they would be. The fighting continued through several wars, and Israel defeated the Muslim nations EVERY single time, so much so that Israel even gained more land at one point, much to the Muslims' dismay. The Muslims cried to the UN, and Israel was forced to give the land back, which they did. Yes, you could call it coincidense, why not? That is where the Israeli people have lived, if theyd lose it someday, it would be natural to ecpect they would try to get it back, and when it reads in their holy book they will get it back why wouldn't they try? And enemies from all sides attacking? You don't need to be a prophet to tell that if you take land from people they will try to get it back. To this day, Israel is attacked by Muslim nations, and Israel has never fell, even though for every 1 Israeli, there are 500 Muslims. If there is no God protecting Israel, that'd be one hell of a huge coincidence. God protecting by killing muslims? What about thou shall love your enemy and all those? Arent Israle people supposed to turn the other cheek? The Bible says that Israel will continue to be attacked, but it will never fall to the attackers. Someday, it will be separated (Bill Clinton started this proposal) and the Bible says that when it is, Jesus will come back at that time. They're not coincidences. They're "inconvenient truths", if you will. ;) For you, anyways, since you ignore this. Furthermore, I don't believe anyone will be "burned eternally". I don't believe in a literal Hell, as it doesn't make sense for God to punish those who don't follow him - it only makes sense for him to not REWARD them. Hell is a metaphor for the burning pain one would feel being separated from God for eternity, knowing of his existence. So, what youre saying is, you don't belive what is written in the bible. Isn't it all supposed to be true? You can't just decide what you take literally and what you will transform into something else nonsense of your liking. Do you know what the Bible says about the anti-Christ? It says that the anti-Christ will promise peace and deceive many, but eventually, all will see it as a farce. Tell me - what is the biggest pusher of false peace today? A movement that - by all accounts - is growing? By that I mean, what is a group of people who are saying "This is peaceful!" even though it clearly is not? Muslims Anti-christs, they are just plainly brainwashed religious fanatics, like you crhistian people. Islam. Islam claims to be the "religion of peace", and it deceives MANY into thinking that - however, anyone who knows the Qu'ran and ISN'T a Muslim knows that Islam is NOT peaceful. Hell, it's "prophet" was a WAR GENERAL and a sinner in life in general. I've made my case, so what have you to say of it? My text, in bold, thank you. 1.) No premarital sex in heaven? I don't know why that was relevant to what I said, but sure...I'd imagine that would be the case, since we're not supposed to have any HERE as it is, now are we?! I'm sorry - does this conflict with your promise of 72 virgins? Which by the way, is a disgusting, lustful promise of Satan, tricking men with lust into following his BS. I wouldn't want 72 virgins, and anyone who does is a lustful sinner. That is NOT a promise of a sinless God! 2.) The quote you got from revelation is a metaphor for something. Of what, I am not sure of at the moment, but it's quite obvious with the numericals given. Numericals in the Bible are often associated with metaphor, like the X headed beast with Y number of crowns, etc. Nice below-the belt stab though by saying he was mental or on drugs. :lol: very mature. 3.) It's not the common sense of Muslims attacking Israel that makes it a coincidence. Of course you'd attack someone you perceive to be stealing your land (Oh, by the way...Jesus said if someone stole from you, to let them, because they need it more than you do anyways...HOW PEACEFUL!), but the thing that makes it a prophecy being fulfilled is that it happened exactly how it was written in the Bible. The Bible also said that disbelievers of God's word would be "Willingly Ignorant" of it. YOU, sir...Are being willingly ignorant right now. It is there in front of you, and you are denying it. 4.) God is not protecting Israel by killing Muslims. Muslims are killing themselves by attacking Israel. God isn't personally killing each and every Muslim who attacked Israel, the Israeli's are, and God is protecting Israel from being conquered. It's that simple. God isn't ALLOWING Israel to be overtaken. But let's say God was killing Muslims...What is your point? That God is evil? No, Muslims are being evil by denying God's word and forcing his hand. If Muslims were not willingly ignorant of the Bible, they would read it and see the word of God, and no one would WANT to attack Israel. As Muslims, they are pawns of Satan against God's plan. I'm not saying you're an evil Satan-worshiping freak, but I am saying you're deceived by Satan's religion. 5.) OH! And Israeli's aren't supposed to turn the other cheek - Christians are. Way to show your ignorance of religion in general. Jews deny Jesus Christ just like Muslims do, and Jesus Christ was the one who said to turn the other cheek. 6.) Why do you say I do not believe everything in the Bible? Is it all of a sudden wrong to say certain things are metaphors and certain things are not? Tell me, O' Muslim child - Does the sun still set in a pool of muddy water? Muhammed said it did! Oh, that was literal you mean?! Wow, he really must've been way off! Or was it metaphorical, meaning it set in a dark place? Or was Muhammed just MAKING STUFF UP? I'd assume the latter, but I think you see my point. I am not assigning what is metaphorical and what is not - many people believe Hell is a metaphor for the burning your heart feels by being separated from God. Many Christians believe this could very well be the case! But of course, Muslims are forced to believe in Hell as literal fact, since it says Jews and Christians will be the fuel for the fire, and that everyone's skin in Hell will be replenished once it is burned off. :roll: Again, more Jew-hating from the Muslims! Boy, sure is good to be a Jew these days. 7.) Brainwashed religious fanatics are Muslims anti-Christ? Funny, the Qu'ran says the opposite of the Bible. It says that the anti-Christ will be brought in by Jews and Christians. MORE Jew hating? Geez, stop already. It's funny that you deny that Islam is claiming to be peaceful when it is clearly not. Currently, the world population's majority would agree with me, not you. Islam is NOT peaceful, but FEAR NOT! One day Islam will rule the world, and remember me when that happens, and remember my words. Islam will rule. Jerusalem will split between the Jews and Muslims. And then, Jesus will come and stop the surely tyrannical-rule of the future Muslim leaders of the world. Muslims love to tote how their religion is the fastest growing in the world. Keep toting - some Christians know why it is growing, and you will not deceive us. You may deceive many, but you will not deceive us all. Islam is barbaric under the guise of peace, JUST like how the Bible says the anti-Christ will be. It also says that the anti-Christ will be born in the East. Where was Islam born again? Oh yea...The East...Crap. Sucks for you guys. <3

Well.. My father claims to be a muslim, as do his friends and family.. But yet, he chooses to disobey some parts of the Koran just as about every muslim I know. Such as drinking alcohol... He says it's "ok because everyone else does it too", but it's just because he lives in a western country and he's not disciplined enough to quit it. He says "once in a while you can drink". But, you can't eat a pig's meat "once in a while" because that would be against God's will, yet drinking alcohol is not? The general population doesn't have a "religion". They just group themselves with a tag like 'christianity', 'islam', etc.. And follow any rituals as long as they don't limit their life too much. In western countries, apparently God thinks it's ok for millions of muslims to drink beer and vodka, but in Saudi Arabia, God will punish you for it? :?: It's linked with society, not religion. Women in western countries mostly don't wear burkhas. Men in western countries don't feel restricted about drinking alcohol. Muslims in western countries mostly don't pray 5 times a day or pay zakat (charity of 1/40th your salary) as told by the Koran. Exactly, my friend. Almost no Muslims in the west follow their religion as it is supposed to be followed. Which isn't to say Christians DO - there are bad Christians as well, but Muslims not following their religion is a BLESSING, because if they did, anytime you said "Eh, I don't agree with islam." a head would roll, as per my explanation of how they justify such actions no matter how small the matter. If Christians followed their religion correctly, it would be more peaceful, not less peaceful. How many Christians yell at their enemies? Mock them? Hit them, even? Plenty, surely. However, Jesus said to pray for them, and essentially, ignore them. Tell them the Gospel, and if they mock you, pray for them, but do not call them names or mock them. Just pray. You know what I mean, surely. As for the drinking, yes, Muslims CANNOT drink alcohol at all unless they are trapped or lost somewhere and it is the only thing to drink. Same with eating pork. Their religion forbids it. I don't drink myself, because I see it as pointless, but I do eat pork every now and then even though it says not to in the Torah. When Jesus came, a new covenant was made that essentially made the Torah redundant (no stoning, etc) so I assume that goes for eating pork as well. But Jews didn't eat pork because they saw the animal as filthy because it ate it's own feces, AND they were prone to Trichinosis back in those days. ...Muslims, however, have a different reason. The Trichinosis part still stands as a reason why, but they also do not eat it because in the Qu'ran, "Allah" turned some Jews into apes and pigs for fishing on a Saturday, so they see pigs as filthy because of that as well. Quite obvious...Jews were God's chosen people...Islam hates Jews more than ANY other group...It would make sense to assume that Satan has decreed this due to his hatred of God's people. Muslims in the East constantly refer to Jews as apes and pigs due to that story, and one of Muslims' greatest delusions is that Jewish people stole their land, which is hilarious because we all know that Jews were there 6,000 years ago and then some, and Muslims conquered them and pushed them out, then lived there for 1,000 some-odd years, and the Jews were given it back, so Muslims say Jews stole their land. Hypocrisy FTW! :P

Why am I not in my right mind for studying religions and theology without the intention of blindly following them or necessarily asking the intepretations of imams and priests? What about the fact my mother is a christian, while my father is a muslim? Should I just refrain from studying either religion or learning about the 'holy books' of those religions? (Not that I put any special weight on those particular religions, just because my parents follow one of them) An Imam or a Priest are just normal humans who studied theology. I don't see how their advice is so important in determining the 'rightness' of a religion. Muslims do not want questions to be asked, that is why they've stressed it so much. Believing what everyone TELLS you is not the sign of a believer. Not a smart one, anyways. It is the sign of ignorance. I read for myself, and interpret myself. If I need a question answered, I discuss it with fellow believers. Not the other way around. If you read it knowing what someone else wanted it to mean, how will you EVER break that belief if it was in fact wrong? People interpret stuff how they want all the time, even if it is wrong. I take everyone's advice with a grain of salt, as would any other wise man or woman.

Barack Obama?

Islam is a religion of peace. There is a difference between extremists and Muslims. Extremists=Wrong way of practicing religion 'cause they use violence. Muslims=Correct way of practicing religion because they use peace and strives to avoid conflict. You can't mix those two up. Why bother learning the Quran if you're not a Muslim? It just gives the opportunity for Satan to convince you that Islam is wrong. Anyone in their right mind will seek guidance with a religious leader, (Bible with priests, Quran with Imams and so on) instead of interpreting what it says on your own. War general? That made me laugh... And, no. He does not sin as God has ordered an angel to clear any impurities in his heart. So, Satan can't get to him. You can say Islam is a religion of peace all you want, but me saying "You are a super model!" does not make it so, does it? Likewise, saying Islam is peaceful does not make it so. As a Muslim (as I gather you are), do you deny that the Qu'ran says to behead infidels, unbelievers, whatever? Christians and Jews, namely, who refuse to convert, should be beheaded according to Islam. Most Muslims argue that this is only in times of war, which makes it okay, since, obviously, killing your enemy is what you're supposed to do in war, right? Well, there are three problems with this... 1.) Muslims can make anything into a war. If you say something against Islam, it is taken as something AGAINST Islam, which makes it a struggle for Islam. Struggle = Jihad, and Jihad in the name of Islam can call for war. So basically, anything against Islam is liable to the rules of Jihad. Deny this all you want, it just makes you very ignorant of your religion. It's very sad when someone who dislikes your religion (not your people, your religion) knows it better than you, a follower, does. 2.) Jesus is revered as a prophet in Islam. Jesus said to never fight your enemies, and to love and pray for those who harm you. He said if someone were to hit you, you were to turn the other cheek so that they may hit that one as well. He also said if someone were to steal from you, you were to let them, because they obviously needed it more than you did. THAT is peaceful, my friend. Muhammed and Islam is not. 3.) Why would the self-professed God of the Jews tell people to kill Jews? Hilarious. This was ordered in the Qu'ran for political reasons, if not Satanic reasons, because Jews refused to believe Muhammed because he was an Ishmaelite, not an Israelite. All of God's prophets had been ISRAELITES. Why would God send such a peaceful message through Jesus, and then a war-mongering message through Muhammed? Obviously you don't believe God to be very consistent, do you?! :lol: And yes, there is a difference between extremists and moderates, but there is not a difference between "Muslim" and "Extremist". You don't have to be a suicide bomber to be an extremist, my friend! Not all Muslims do this, but the ENTIRITY of Eastern Muslims are extremists because of their extreme views, even if they are not terrorists. Western Muslims, however, cannot be extremists, because laws do not allow them. They'd be jailed. So the average western Muslim is a moderate Muslim, meaning they don't practice, and are likely raised only to believe in the God of the Qu'ran, not raised to be a Muslim as a whole as the Qu'ran demands. Get it? Probably not. And by far your funniest quote..."Why bother to read the Qu'ran if you're not a Muslim?" Haha, am I to take that as "Why read our book if you intend on exposing it's flaws?" :lol: I read the Qu'ran because it makes me knowledgeable in why it is WRONG. With that attitude, it is clear you'll never read the Bible and see WHY it is wrong. Furthermore, I cannot read it myself, but rather, I have to ask an Imam for help? Hahaha. No wonder Muslims press this so hard! It keeps questions out, and brain-washing growing at a good rate! Sorry, but 'round these parts, we read, interpret ourselves, THEN ask questions. Not "Ask questions, don't read, don't ask". :lol: And again, for the third time, Muhammed was a war general by definition. He lead over 10,000 men into Mecca, and they conquered it. Period.

Please note that the above poster is surely one to be believed! He is VERY smart! I mean, look! He even said I was racist for not liking his religion! SO SMART! Not. This is a common tactic of Muslims. They call you racist for pointing out Islam's BS and calling it false. Tell me, sir...What race are you? Arab? Asian? White? Well, no matter...Because there is not ONE SINGLE religion on this EARTH that subsists entirely of one race. Not one single religion. Therefore, how is it "racist" to dislike your religion? Here, I'll answer for you - IT ISN'T. If I am racist for disliking your ideology then YOU are racist for disliking MY ideology, are you not? Again, I'll answer - Yes, you would be! So calling me racist for speaking out against your ideas is just like calling yourself a racist for speaking against mine. In short, you're a fool. Another common tactic - not only of Muslims, but of most fools online - calling Wikipedia "unreliable" because people can edit it as they wish. Tell me, sir...Did Muhammed NOT conquer Mecca? Is that a lie? History and even the Qu'ran says "NO" it is not a lie. Muhammed DID indeed sack Mecca with an army, so where is the unreliability?! I submit that there is none in that quote. And I'm telling "baseless lies" by saying Muhammed had seizures and displayed other signs of possession? Even all Muslims admit that Muhammed had seizures, so we know that one is true, in fact it likely played into his death. Anyways...Qu'ran 53:19-20 ring a bell? "Have you thought of AllÃÆââ¬Å¾ÃâÃ

I do miss RSC back in the earlier 2000's. If Jagex would put RSC's source up for sale, I would buy it. I really would.

Hmm, after seeing those pictures, it does seem biased. I thought they just weren't giving him much coverage because he has no chance of winning so they're concentrating on those who do have a chance. But look...The candidates they're pushing are all smiling. The ones they aren't all look pissed off. Biased. Okay, perhaps they DO hate him. :P

Since I'm not really that familiar with the Qu'ran, could you expand on that? Certainly. I'll copy this from Wikipedia just to give a really quick explanation. "Muhammad gained few followers early on, and was largely met with hostility from the tribes of Mecca; he was treated harshly and so were his followers. To escape persecution, Muhammad and his followers migrated to Yathrib (Medina) in the year 622. This historic event, the Hijra, marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. In Medina, Muhammad managed to unite the conflicting tribes, and after eight years of fighting with the Meccan tribes, his followers, who by then had grown to ten thousand, conquered Mecca." Muhammed did not bring Islam through peace. He brought it through war. He sacked Mecca when he had enough followers, and he over-threw it. As for Muhammed's sinning in general, I don't think I need to explain it really. Even the Qu'ran says that only Jesus and Mary were sparred from Satan's touch, which means Muhammed was - like all of us - touched by Satan, and a sinner. Pretty much everyone who is into Christian-Islamic theology and is a Christian believes that Muhammed is not a prophet of God, but a pawn of Satan. Muhammed displayed many traits typically seen in "possessed" people, and this is well-documented in the Qu'ran. He had seizures, his eyes rolled into the back of his head, he spoke in tongues and vomited, etc etc. I know that sounds like the movie The Exorcist, and hence makes possession itself sound unbelievable, but that itself was based on a true story, so yea...Though I don't believe anyones head has EVER spun around in a circle. :lol: Not even Muhammed! I, personally, will never submit to Islam. Islam will come, it will conquer and it will rule the world - just like Muslims chant and hope for. It will happen. However, I will never submit. If the time comes when an Islamic-Gestapo comes door-to-door to line up the infidels, I will line up willingly to be beheaded. Even if I believed in no religion, I would still never submit to Islam. Muslims are deceived greatly, and many of them know it but they do not care because they have an agenda. On Youtube, there is a man who converted from Islam to Christianity and preaches the message of Jesus. Muslims on Youtube tried to discredit him, saying he did not know Arabic, so he could not speak of the Qu'ran...Then they found out that Arabic is his first language, and English is his second. After they found that out, they offered him $10,000 to shut up about Islam. He declined. ;)

So when the world ends people will finally made as mindless robots? How else could it be "perfect"? And yes we know earthly matters don't consern god. Thats why he lets people to starve death in third world countries and then trows them to burn in hell for eternity because they believe (know) about him. Your sarcasm is weak, but I'll run with it... When the world ends, according to Christianity, we don't become "mindless robots" to make the world perfect. Satan is removed as an influence. Perhaps before you discuss matters of this magnitude, you should do research on the subject as to not sound silly! God created this Earth without Satan's influence upon it, hence it started out perfect. Satan had a little hissy-fit because he believed himself to be above Adam, even though God directly demanded Satan to bow to Adam. Indeed, God loved us so greatly as his best creation that he told the Angels to bow to us. Satan refused, and God punished him. Satan then vowed to use his time on Earth to do nothing but turn us away from God, and God agreed to this. The real question, and one which I do not know the answer to (perhaps someone else here does) is - Why did God even ALLOW Satan to deceive us? Perhaps Satan deceived Eve and the damage was already done at that point, so God agreed to let Satan mess with us to see if we would still turn to God and turn away from Satan. God laid it all out in the Bible, so it is there for us to see. If we deny it, then we are willingly ignorant, just as the Bible says. Read Revelation, my friend. If you do, you will see that there are some things in there that cannot just be mere coincidence. When Israel was established in 1948, that was a fulfilled prophecy. The Bible says Israel would be re-established. Coincidence? Okay, let's say it is! Well, the Bible continues, saying that when it is re-established, it will be surrounded by enemies from all sides. Now, when Israel was established, that VERY day, the five Muslim countries surrounding Israel attacked Israel all at once. They were all defeated, as the Bible said they would be. The fighting continued through several wars, and Israel defeated the Muslim nations EVERY single time, so much so that Israel even gained more land at one point, much to the Muslims' dismay. The Muslims cried to the UN, and Israel was forced to give the land back, which they did. To this day, Israel is attacked by Muslim nations, and Israel has never fell, even though for every 1 Israeli, there are 500 Muslims. If there is no God protecting Israel, that'd be one hell of a huge coincidence. The Bible says that Israel will continue to be attacked, but it will never fall to the attackers. Someday, it will be separated (Bill Clinton started this proposal) and the Bible says that when it is, Jesus will come back at that time. They're not coincidences. They're "inconvenient truths", if you will. ;) For you, anyways, since you ignore this. Furthermore, I don't believe anyone will be "burned eternally". I don't believe in a literal Hell, as it doesn't make sense for God to punish those who don't follow him - it only makes sense for him to not REWARD them. Hell is a metaphor for the burning pain one would feel being separated from God for eternity, knowing of his existence. Do you know what the Bible says about the anti-Christ? It says that the anti-Christ will promise peace and deceive many, but eventually, all will see it as a farce. Tell me - what is the biggest pusher of false peace today? A movement that - by all accounts - is growing? By that I mean, what is a group of people who are saying "This is peaceful!" even though it clearly is not? Islam. Islam claims to be the "religion of peace", and it deceives MANY into thinking that - however, anyone who knows the Qu'ran and ISN'T a Muslim knows that Islam is NOT peaceful. Hell, it's "prophet" was a WAR GENERAL and a sinner in life in general. I've made my case, so what have you to say of it?

You know the feeling you get when you make a perfect omelette with all the fixins' you love, and when you go to slide it from the pan to your plate, it hits the edge of the plate, flips the plate over and goes right onto the floor? Yea, welcome to 2007. :P

Who cares about a rock? Then how would we ever learn? We'd just be frikkin' robots. Well, according to Christianity, he died for our sins, so that self-sacrifice was kinda considered necessary by both God and Jesus. Building upon this, God said in the Bible that all of our good deeds are as filthy rags. AKA, everything good we do means NOTHING to God. You cannot earn his respect. Christianity is not a works-righteous system (and it's the ONLY religion that is not!). So if all our good deeds mean nothing to God, why would anything on the Earth that happens REALLY matter to God? This is a failed experiment, if you will. People ask "Why won't God heal cancer patients?", the simple answer? Because it doesn't matter. People cling to the Earth like it's the only thing there. God knows different. In fact, if you die from cancer, you'd be better off if you're a Christian, obviously! Why do Christians cry when their loved-ones die? Why do people pray for worldly goods? Why do people pray for a cure to world hunger? All of these things are Earthly matters that do not concern God. I know it SOUNDS cruel to some, but why WOULD they matter? Earth and life is not something you should cling to, Earth and life is something you should beg for a release from, if anything! This place SUCKS, especially compared to what it was SUPPOSED to be like. If Christianity is true, then when Jesus comes back, Earth will be restored to its former glory. And even then, God won't be concerned with your worldly-plights, because you won't HAVE any. But say you did - God would be concerned then, because at that point, you're on the Earth forever, and if you needed to be cured of a disease, he would cure it. But alas, at that point, you wouldn't need his help, he'd have already bestowed a perfect existence upon you. So that is why God can exist and still not help the world with their plights. They're irrelevant to the plan. It's up to us to help people if we can - and we do help these people as much as we can.

I got the RROD the first time I ever turned mine on. :lol: Then I turned it off, and back on and it was fine. I think it was just a fluke because it's never done it again and it's fine. Might've been 'cause I didn't put a game in, I dunno'.

Lol, I believe the longest developing game ever is Duke Nukem: Forever. They started work on it like 11 years ago or somethin'. :P I think Will said the started design on Spore like 9 years ago, maybe 10 now. It's going to rock. It was supposed to come out last spring but they pushed it back and since then, they've obviously upgraded the graphics of it and added new stuff. It's going to be pretty epic. I can already hear the religious people whining about a pro-evolution game, though. Even though you are essentially God because you control everything, they'll be crying. *Sigh*

I don't think the media hates him, I just think they're being realistic and concentrating on people who have a better chance of winning. Mind you, no republican has a CHANCE in HELL of winning the election this time around because they're all pro-war. Except Ron Paul, of course. Ron Paul should get the nomination, because the dude would win the presidency if he did. He's even got democrats wanting to vote for him! He's the only dude who is standing up there, being honest and saying "This country is [bleep]ed, and I need to fix it." while everyone else is giving the same fake smile and false promises. Watch - Whoever is the next President will do absolutely nothing they've said they'll do. We'll probably even be in Iraq for another couple years EVEN if a democrat is elected! Ron Paul wants to restore America to what is is SUPPOSED to be, and apparently, we're not ready for that. People don't seem to understand what has happened and why things are messed up. Ron Paul has perceived "radical" views, and that is why everyone thinks he has no chance. And realistically, his chances at the moment are zero, which is astonishing considering how fast and how much money he raised. It's quite sad, really. I'd vote for him any day of the week, but it's not looking good. :cry:

Just like religious people can openly despise atheism (and they do), atheists CAN openly despise religion and should not be criticized anymore than any religious person who dislike atheism. Please, stop defending the religious peoples' stupidity. If someone hates God and wants to make a movie that vaguely has a story line portraying God negatively (from what I hear, God dies? Boo hoo?), he can do so. O' hear all ye Christians! Pick up ye Bible!...and read the part where it says not to get involved in politics, which is exactly what you're doing.

Well, the Bible says the way to Heaven is very narrow, while the way to Hell is quite wide. A lot of Christians have the delusional thought that every Christian alive is going to Heaven...Sadly for them, that is not true. It cannot be. There are 2 billion Christians, so relatively speaking, a ton of them are not comin' to the party; as it were. :P The chip is another thinning of the pack, I guess. If you know your Bible and follow it (most Christians DO NOT know or follow it), then you'll know better than to take this chip.

Those chips COULD be what is spoken of in Revelation, but it could also be a metaphor for Muslims. From what I've read, a practicing Muslim (one who is practicing their religion correctly) cannot trade with a non-Muslim. They're not supposed to, rather. I believe it's much more likely to be a chip, though, since that is currently the governments plan - to chip everyone for tracking purposes and to make a cashless society. I would never take this chip because I hate technology that has to do with money. :P ATM cards never work right, credit cards get wrongly declined and shut off if you make an out-of-state purchase, etc etc. Makes me mad. I sincerely hope this doesn't happen in my life-time, but I'm sure it will. *Shrug* Whatever, I'll grow my own food. :lol:

Actually, he did...He walked in Eden with Adam and he wrestled with...Joshua, was it? I dunno', some guy. And he manifested as Jesus according to most Christian theology. :P

If they want a better idea, GIVE THEM ONE. Search my posts I've made in General Discussion. I had an idea that would fix the entire thing and still make the Wilderness viable as it was. There is no reason to be able to let anyone be killed for illegitimate reasons with that system. No money in the wilderness, no rares, only things you NEED to take to kill people. This is a severe deterrent for RWTers.

They could've done this without getting rid of the Wilderness. I suspect that they've wanted to get rid of the wilderness for quite some time now.

I was surprised to see the name "A_E_R_I_S" on there, since I talk to her still and her account is still active... ...Then I remembered freaking out back THEN when I saw it too, and it ended up being someone named "A__E_R_I_S"...Double-space on the AE. :P
