My parents claimed they believed in god, although you'd never know it from their actions. Dad took me to sunday school most Sundays, partly because it's what was done, partly because he'd go to his buddies house and drink enough I'd have to drive home sitting on a pillow to see over the dash. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Arthur Kalliokoski said: My parents claimed they believed in god, although you'd never know it from their actions. My situation was the same growing up, but primarily just my mother. Even today if I ask her if she believes in God, she takes the cigarette out of her mouth, looks away from the television for a moment, says yes, then looks back and starts puffing away. She's doing God's work. After reading a bunch more of this god awful thread, I think I can summarize the whole thing in one image: {"name":"that-word-inigo-montoya-word-think-.jpg","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/7\/e\/7ec9cc417dbd3959a22f72dd0dfc6030.jpg","w":331,"h":333,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/7\/e\/7ec9cc417dbd3959a22f72dd0dfc6030"} "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Arthur Kalliokoski said: I just tried this experiment again just now Heh, I tried it too. Not to get the most common opinion, but rather to see in which opinion Google has clustered me. Specter Phoenix said: Discussion? We post our opinions, we don't discuss anything around here. True. This made me wonder whether trying to edit a Wiki page with each other would yield better results. But then again, what would be the topic? The stupidity of Christianity? Rational reasoning? Matthew Leverton said: Yes it sounds more authoritative to invoke some cute phrase every few sentences, but it doesn't actually make an argument any more impressive. QFT. Well, actually it's an opinion I like. |

Your posts will look silly when ML actually removes the double-post. Quick, get some opinions in there! TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

The only reason I'm not in this fight is because I have been stressed out with a project at j0rb and can't find the time to catch up. I'm probably not even half way and it keeps growing. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

I'm really not sure who's arguing for what anymore... so I'll stop for now "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow."-Ecclesiastes 1:18 |

SiegeLord said: I'm really not sure who's arguing for what anymore... so I'll stop for now What do you mean by 'Stop'? You're posting in this thread, so doesn't that mean you're continuing your argument? I don't think Stop means the same to me as it does to you.

Amusingly, a professional colleague was mentioning a book to me just recently called "You Are Not So Smart: Why You Have Too Many Friends on Facebook, Why Your Memory Is Mostly Fiction, and 46 Other Ways You're Deluding Yourself". Naturally, I immediately thought of this thread. -- |

Of course, can't let one of the dumbest and most active threads on the forum go silent

I'm going by the definition you gave me. Nothing more, nothing less. If I fit your definition of religious then I'm religious to you, if I don't, then I'm not. You tell me. Or don't. Whatever. -- |

Think of who's asking. I was playing an abandonware game "Street Rod" last night and was once again struck by the actors cruising by, afraid to race you, calling you a "loser" and a "nerd", as if you were beneath them instead of ready to snap up their car with a bet on pink slips. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Discussion? We post our opinions, we don't discuss anything around here. You have been here four years and still haven't figured that out?! 
Maybe we actually are all delusional (except Stas B., natch).
) and this thread reminded me of some of the threads I often took part in. I'm amazed to see 23yrold3yrold still trying to defend the born-agains from being assumed as ignorant. Part of why I stopped posting and rarely visiting was because of threads like these.
