I agree with atheism, agnosticism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, etc.

They all have a little something.

Slyvr 2006-12-08 02:31 PM

Is that possible?

Grav 2006-12-08 02:39 PM

A little murder, a little hypocrisy, a little scandal, a little penis, a little yiffing...

hotdog 2006-12-08 05:18 PM

I agree with that one that lets you have multiple wives, it sounds cool.

Atnas 2006-12-10 07:14 PM

Who needs wives? :weird:

On the subject of religion...

A friend of mine (Danny Gillen) went on a radio show about a week ago, and they were debating Religion.

One of the things he said:

"Religion is the absence of reason, the sleep of logic".

I think you can guess his stance right there.

He's a socialist, hates religion.

I've only listened to part of it so far, but it's supposed to be fairly good.

I'm just uploading it to a host at the mo, so I'll link to it in a bit.

That was pretty interesting.

Atnas 2006-12-12 03:46 PM

I'll have to download it when I get on my laptop, if mj thinks it's interesting, then it's gotta be good.

Lol, don't take my word for it. You may not like it. I just like stuff like this. I spend quite a bit of time watching Richard Dawkins videos on youtube.

Atnas 2006-12-12 03:55 PM

Anything that breaks the lull of local television and presents a reasonable, logical stance on anything I enjoy. I wouldn't mind watching some weird documentary on an Asian belief, or African ceremonies, you name it, I enjoy those random bits of information.

nerd alert

Atnas 2006-12-12 05:39 PM

Nerd? That's far from the stereotypical group I fall into.

Hmmm... I hate all the cliques, 'I must be emo'. (though by now, emo is a clique.)

No, seriously, I don't have my hair in my face, joke about being gay, glare at others, wear black,and generally have a depressive air about me for no reason. I enjoy it.

And because I might seem like a conforming, small, gay child by stating I fall into that group, I'm actaully not. Looks are decieving.

On the same note, what is wrong with being a 'nerd' persay? Because they will get farther than you ever will in life, that doesn't mean they can't enjoy going through every day without being called names which I'm sure that they aren't completely senseless to.

Watch what you say to people online, you don't know what kind of a person they are by reading a post.

KagomJack 2006-12-12 07:07 PM

I'm a synchritist deist.

There are some religious people here.

You're at a forum that is pretty much full of them. No need to put out an alert every time you run across one of us.

MightyJoe 2006-12-12 08:25 PM

Nerd Alert!

Slyvr 2006-12-13 02:08 PM

I'm not religios 0o
I said "I do" meaning I do agree with atheism...I don't like saying full sentences...

I understood that. I was answering your question in my previous post, not stating that you are religious.

Slyvr 2006-12-14 05:04 PM

Oh lol...so...who's religious? And why haven't they bitched about us?

Atnas 2006-12-14 05:59 PM

I'm a practicing Roman Catholic who gets dragged to church every Sunday. I might believe in God, but I've decided, foolishly, I don't care wether or not I am torrid in hell. Bitch all you want but I've decided.

Also I don't care about your opinion enough to be offended.

Mantralord 2006-12-15 02:26 AM

i hope then that you are offended by the opinion i don't have

Atnas 2006-12-15 02:56 PM

I couldn't care less?

-----------------------------

Why is your sig and avatar a bee?
I've always wondered...

Lenny 2006-12-15 03:05 PM

It's because he was making a Bit Torrent client called BeeTorrent.

Atnas 2006-12-15 03:10 PM

Oh, I see.

A reason for everything, isn't there...

Demosthenes 2006-12-23 12:12 AM

Someone is jacking my post!

Hahaha! That's amazing!!

You go and show him what for, MJ! Or can we all go and lynch him on his forum?

Dubby 2006-12-23 09:51 AM

religion kills people.

Thanks?

Sovereign 2006-12-30 09:41 PM

YOu want to smoke stuff? wtf?

Lenny 2006-12-31 04:16 AM

Nonono. He wants to smoke shit. Slight difference.

I seem to be missing posts, for some reason. Kito's didn't show up as new on the 29th.

Still, interesting post, even if it doesn't add to the whole objection to religion.

Atnas 2006-12-31 08:41 AM

It was pretty amusing.

And it didn't show up on new posts till you posted, lenny.

Sovereign 2006-12-31 01:53 PM

That's because of the new moderation system. We have validate new members posts before they appear to you guys.

MightyJoe 2006-12-31 02:24 PM

Way to moderate imo.

Lenny 2007-01-01 09:12 AM

And it seems to be working great... although you can't help but feel slightly sorry for the mods, having to look at every single new post. We get quite a few new members a day, and at least 10% of them post (even if they are just bots).

hotdog 2007-01-05 08:46 AM

I like the Capitalism one...

Grav 2007-03-20 12:14 PM

Lol you dumbass. Technology wasn't spurred by religion it was spurred by people who wanted to make things easier. Tell me how does the invention of a sword contribute to any religion? How does the invention of plows or any other technological advance contribute shit to god? Aside from churches and chapels there is no correlation between the two, and yes construction and ways of governing a land are considered technological advances. FFS don't be such a tool and develop an internal locus of control. Next I suppose you are going to start talking about other supernatural beings like vampyres/vampires and werewolves having an influence on our technological advances?

Does anyone get the context of this post?
