Serious discussion in /FG/?

SOMEBODY ON /B/ GOT SLOWPOKE COMBO

Nobody cares about /b/ Dizzle.

Nobody cares about /b/ Dizzle.

...I do.

 

And I'm pretty sure so does Iran, according to their statements.

Just finished up a paper for astronomy about Michael Collins.

In my opinion, faith is one of the greatest motivating forces in existence. Religion is not opposed to progress by nature, rather by interpretation. Catholicism has the largest following on Earth, and it seems to me that it promotes more old-fashioned styles of thinking. It might not help that the Popes are usually elderly, they will likely be a few decades behind the times on their own, and encouraged to continue in the path of their predecessors.

 

The three Abrahamic religions are mired down in history, going on morals and interpretation of teachings hundreds of years old. I myself am Christian, mostly because of my family and the fact that I know next to nothing of other religions. I intend for it to be a topic of study later in my life.

Double post. <_<

 

And, page get.

 

EDIT: And, sorry for continuing the serious topic. I take a while to type sometimes. :P

So, what are your opinions on monkeys riding unicycles?

3 complete slowpokes on the front page. Yeah, now I hate /b/ too.

I think religion was born out of unanswerable questions. As science progresses we can answer questions previously answered by religion, thus paring down it's usefulness. i think the whole concept that religion is "The ultimate source/cause of morality" is pure hogwash. I'm not religious and i act a lot more morally than several/many religious people I know.

I don't get the religious debate of 'If you don't get your morals from God, then where do you get them from?'

O goodness, a religion debate. I stay out of those, because all I'll do is get myself in trouble.

 

Now back to your regularly scheduled spam:

 

This place needs moar poast

You know what the world would be like if you didn't act morally, and you can suffer here and now.

I'm basically against anything that says one person has the right to interfere in the life of another. Unfortunately, most religions do just that, some are even built around it, and that's why they need to go.

Enough religion discussion guys.

Pfft. I don't care about unanswerable questions. Does where we go when we die matter in helping those alive? And what the hell would we do, should we discover what really created the universe? The universe exists. Morality and thought exist. All I do is thank someone for it, and have a chat with them when I'm feeling down. Belief in a greater, benevolent force and consciousness after death just makes living so much easier and more pleasant for those who don't overreact.

 

I'm all for science and progress, but there will always be things essential to most of humanity as we know it that either can't or shouldn't be supplied by calculation.

 

Anyways, Minecraft? :D

:arrow:

Yeah.

*Sigh*

 

I know, I know. I'm done now Tyler and Abc.

 

Anyways, that last one was relevant (?); I wanted to play Minecraft. ;)

I wanna play. Ownage, START TEH SERVER. I believe I owe you some supplies.

:arrow:

Some coins are slightly more likely to land heads up, distribution of weight or some such thing. Added the strikethrough after Archi corrected me on the matter.

One server coming up.

 

Dizzle WTF: You broke into my house, took all my iron, took all my coal AGAIN and didn't even have the [bleep]ing courtesy to fix the hole.

:arrow:

Steal from me once, meh I'm upset, i probably would have given it to you if you asked.

 

I let you stay and you steal from me again I'm [bleep]ing pissed.

 

It's of no real monetary value, but its like stealing my [bleep]ing time.
