Anyways, as I stated before this conversation is useless. In case you haven't figured it out yet, nobody ever wins in religious arguments. Beliefs and opinions cannot and should not be questioned. You are of course right on the first statement. I guess we will all find out if God is an evil rotten bastard when billions scream out in unison for all eternity.... for the purpose of entertaining those in Heaven I guess. Actually, Heaven could become Hell

Hell is not the same is killing someone for not tying their shoe in time. You are correct; it is infinitely worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God kinda frowns on killing. Why????????? He doesn't frown on killing people by the thousands and millions, and apparently he must throw us into the lake of fire or "eternally seperate us", or whatever for not believing in Jesus, so why would he frown upon killing? <br/

I guess the whole point is believe or burn huh????? I think the only reason you have faith is because you were born to Christian parents and you have been brain-washed. Anyway, have you read anything about near death experiences??? Certainly that is a piece of evidence just like the bible. Why put faith in a 2000 year old book that has multiple versions, and God knows how many times it has been changed throughout history. How come their isn't one version of the bible? I

Thoughts on the Beta in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Short and sweet - I haven't played the game too much yet. 1. The music is awesome (better than in galciv 2). 2. I love the epic scale of the game. I love how other star systems seem really far away and how phase jumping to them takes minutes and minutes. It really helps create an epic sense to the game. 3. Automation options with your ships is cool. Some things that could be better: 1. better sound effects and graphics with weapons!! Lase

I know, and I am so sick and tired of hearing about Jesus on the radio, everywhere!!!

Reply to Video Games Are Anti-Social and Addictive in Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

and do not tell me that God went running orund with a shovel burying things and muttering "now we'll see who beleives in me!" cause if thats the view you take of your deity then you have 'other' issues No, thats actually an appropriate view for Christians because He wants to deceive us so much in this world so we won't believe in Jesus, because the evil bastard can't wait to torture us forever.

also, this is an opportunity for you to witness to everyone who happens to read this!!!! Aren't you excited that you will get to save people from God's evil, evil wrath????

Also, I am not even sure how to access PMs on this forum. I will have to try to figure that out I guess.

Reply to Video Games Are Anti-Social and Addictive in Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

What kind of a Christian are you? I thought Christians should witness even though they may die. You won't speak because you are afraid your post might get deleted?? I thought Christians were supposed to fear God and all of his wrath rather than anything "of this world".

Also, have you guys done some research on near death experiences? That is the evidence I am using, so it isn't like I am just going soley off of logic. My only evidence is near death experiences, yours is the bible, unless I am mistaken???

Reply to Video Games Are Anti-Social and Addictive in Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

You clearly don't understand Christianity. People who cannot make the decision of accepting Jesus as their saviour do NOT go to Hell, for obvious reasons. Show me in the bible where it talks about this. Also, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, the idea of God sending me to Hell for eternity for my finite sins is rediculuous. It is basically like me shooting someone because they couldn't tie their shoes fast enough. Or it is like burning someone alive in an oven bec

Reply to Defense Bug Patch Fix. in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

I guess the motto until the patch is go for incredible defense first and only research a weak weapon to fight back with (like lasers). I think after you have some low level weapon to fight back with, just keep climbing the defense tech tree. Only after you have awesome defensed ships should you bother with better weapons.

What was this thread about again? God? no wait, wasting my time. They started it. Someone shoves Jesus down my throat, I bring out the 6 inch cannons. I am just fighting against absurdity thats all. They brought this war upon me, and I shall stand my ground to the very last!!!!!!!!!!

CodeCritter commented about the change on the 1.50x.072 thread. Where is that at? Do you know how Stardock intends to correct this game imbalance? Well guys, research defense before weapons until 1.6 comes out. That would be my advice.

Reply to Video Games Are Anti-Social and Addictive in Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

So, apparently you apply your own morals to the Bible and use that to judge it for yourself. This assumes, of course, that your morals are an adequate gauge for measuring the morality of the Bible. The biggest problem here isn't that the Bible is a bad book - the problem is that it teaches a different philosophy than you do, and you are uncomfortable with the philosophy it teaches. This is also an appeal to outrage - you hope that by only looking at the "worst

There's a fix in the works, but no ETA thus far. How do you guys know this stuff? Do you know someone working at Stardock?

Reply to Defense Bug Patch Fix. in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

So, kyro any word on this? Also, how are they going to fix this game imbalance? (I wouldn't call it a bug neccessarily) Bonescott, why not counter for now by trying to really research defense tech, and creating ubber defensed ships of your own? Then it would be slug fest I am sure, but it seems like that would be the logical way to give yourself a fighting chance. Afterall, the tech victory should take awhile right? Why not tech up in defense instead, and create powerful defensive ships of

Traditional Christians say the world is only 6,000 years old. Thats what the bible implies. The bible also says homosexuals are an abomination to be killed, but then murder is a sin. Also, God supposedly doesn't sin according to the bible and he can't allow sin into heaven, but the bible is riddled with His wrath and destruction such as when he supposedly created the floods and spared Noaa's ark. Also, God is sinless, yet he will ultimately burn over half of all his own creations in eternal
