WOW, that is one, weak ass argument.[/quote] She'd also say that Christians believe the sky is green, and that's it's obviously not.

Barack Obama, who do you think you are? You're an employee of the United States of America, and you're acting unprofessional on national television. You do realize that the people are about to decide whether or not to renew your contract, right?

No, we do know where they come from, we just don't care because it's not important. Not only do I know about Christianity, I also have looked at Islam, Liberation Theology, Budhhism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Scientology, and some others, though some more or less strenuously. I find it hilarious that you think that we believe in Christianity only because we don't know that the holidays were chosen for cosmic symbolism dates. It really doesn't

[quote who="mlepinski" reply="66" id="3255932"]quoting post I've gotten a lot of questions from people over the past couple of years about why we are giving away Fallen Enchantress to the early adopters of War of Magic. They say people won't remember War of Magic (it was 2 years ago). They say it won't "buy" good will back from those who didn't like WOM. I pre-ordered War of Magic. I didn't like the game at release. I DO remember War of Magic. I appr

Thanks for sharing. I feel bad for the way veterans seem to be treated. Can't we at least take their problems seriously on return? I fear we don't.

Yes, and Jythier. If you want. I don't know why you would though. I just posted a thread to get a better understanding of how FE compares to GalCiv2. I'm hoping it leads to me buying FE, because I really miss the land-based Civilization games.

Fallen Enchantress vs. Gal Civ 2 - Help me out! in Turn-Based JoeUser Forums

I own GalCiv2, and I'm looking at getting Fallen Enchantress. What does FE do better than GC? Worse? Different? I know FE is a civ game with magic. What other features should be drawing me to it? Thanks!

GalCiv2 vs. Fallen Enchantress - Help me out? in Turn-Based JoeUser Forums

So, I own Galactic Civilizations 2. I don't know much about Fallen Enchantress, except that it's a Civ game and there's magic. Why do I need to buy Fallen Enchantress, if I have GalCiv2? What does it do better, what worse, different, etc.?

Brad is not a fool. Brad delivers when he says he will, so that next time, you remember that he will and buy his stuff again. Buying a Stardock game is buying a great game, and if it's not, he'll give you a better game for free to make up for it. Stardock cares if their AI does stupid things, and tries to fix it, instead of just giving the AI extra powerups to make it 'better'. What I really want is for Stardock to develop EU4. I just go

ExpessoKid appears to be looking for an excuse to commit acts of terror - Christians oppression must be 'resisted violently' as he's said repeatedly. If Christianity is blamed, most likely the President will apologize to ExpressoKid for causing ExpressoKid to do these things.

Now, I've known some very intelligent and reasonable atheists who I really can respect because they have good arguments and good questions and they at least understand what I'm telling them, even if they don't believe it. I like having those kinds of people around because they make me think. You two just make me upset because you don't listen, you make stuff up as if I believe it, and then argue against that instead. Please leave my blog until you

God miraculously made a virgin named Mary pregnant. Also, the Israelites these days are mostly atheists. No behavior change means exactly what I said. No behavior change. That doesn't make the person perfect. It means imperfect people can be saved. I can't believe you can take "No behavior change" and think I meant "They're perfect already." See, the thing about English is that if I meant they were perfect already, I would have said th

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="5" id="3255283"]I should add that those Christians who do proselytize, don't do so with weapons and threats of murder. Not denying it happened in the past, but that's been long, long ago now.[/quote] That was picked up from the Islamic reign. They invaded Spain, force-converted everyone, and then when the Catholic world got it back, they forced everyone to be Catholic, mostly to stop the Islamic practices and stamp out that
