Lula, you guys have had your go with things for a thousand years ... the top dog ... the biggest stick (you are silly). Well that time is long gone now so get used to it. You have failed to prove anything besides the fact that you are the most outlandish and hypocrital excuse artist I know. Proof requires more that quoting some parables from your bible ... let alone the internal nonsense your Church created to authorize its rape of the world. Voluntary conversion is one thing but conversion b

What's new in 'Shooters' in FPS JoeUser Forums

The type of (PC, Xbox) games I have enjoyed and their general genealogy are as follows. I wish I had my Atari 800 or 1200 ... oh well. I first got hooked on Unreal Tournament when that was the whole name (and all the versions up to present). From there I branched out to other shooters like the original Half Life (and all the versions up to present). There were a lot of these around like Doom and Castle Wolfenstein that were iffy to me. Eventually my teen age Son got me to playing Left 4 Dead

Reply to I don't believe God exists in Ethics JoeUser Forums

The universe is interesting from any perspective assuming you have a viable one. I don't understand how some can find it so easy to believe that an all-powerful God unseen, unheard and unknown by man … could have always existed and created everything in a week … but no, the ‘known’ universe itself couldn’t have always existed (from a human perspective)??? Instead of just admitting we don’t know everything now (how could we) but are learning more every

Self-preservation alone given ample time (to overcome irrational superstition) is enough for people to weed out their own bad apples.

How about some common sense and the laws we govern ourselves by for a couple of ways. Come on now, we are animals and none of the other species practice ‘type’ suicide. How long would we last as a species if we all went about killing our neighbors without cause, raping or fornicating with their children and wives, stealing their possessions, practicing infanticide and ritual sacrifice etc. [The RCC is guilty of all of this and many other atrocities as they spread (by the sword) th

Lula, I assume from the start now that there is nothing I can say that will even chip the armor of your precious RCC, but I still have my views so as meaningless as they are to you ... what for??? I count 22 religions that are considered 'major ones' but the offshoots number in the hundreds. I imagine that all 22 have something that tells them and their followers they have the right of it, but who cares ... oh ... the RCC does to the point of gross neglect. I don't have a problem

"The conception of a deity is necessary for religion.”... Why do you call atheism a religion since by definition they do not conceptualize any god at all?

Actual History is chockfull of the rise and fall of religions for millennia … many Ages. And they all have the following in common. Whenever they became week enough to lose control of the majority of the sheeple, they are replaced with a new Messiah and a new message just as the Christians have done with the ‘old Jewish’ religion when that too lost its strangle hold on the world of Man due to its barbarism as perceived by man in a new Age. Anyone who lives in a future

A Knight’s Tale, hehehe Just watched this movie again and it is still a favorite of mine. You have to love a movie concerning knights and such … especially with a human wave in the beginning. This movie gives us a new perspective on the art of courtly dancing, hahaha. I don’t want to tell you much more (don’t want to ruin it), but the life’s lessons therein are spot on. It demonstrates how power and status can both be used for good and bad … sort
