This is pretty much what I was going to write, so Quoted for Truth. Also, if a screenwriter/playwright were to be given a statue of Shakespeare as a prize for plying that craft, is that somehow validating anti-semitism (if Merchant of Venice is anything to go by.), or implying that the...

Apologies for the delay. Real life's been keeping me busy. I'd like to extend my thanks and a cookie for giving me that mental image. And no, it's mostly countering the design claims using geology and biology, so it's moot for this discussion since you don't believe the design you believe...

well, they captured dem shoulders...

Aubrey Plaza as Raven. That is all.

I'd like to see games focusing on the less "overdone" theatres of war; like a game from the perspective of a group of soviet partisans; guerilla fighters against nazi germany, so automatically underdog goodies, but had their fair share of atrocitities on their own conscience (attacks on...

7,62 mm is not a different caliber than .30, it's just written in metric. You literally just said that a .30 is better than a .30 in terms of damage done, but the .30 will still kill you dead.

My apologies. Your unorthodox use of the word "specifically" in the post before threw me off. That, and Mr. Talisker... Also, I believe you were right with regards to the study about atheists and rapists. I looked it up, and the question was oddly stated, and the sample pool was little more...

indeed. And while there were some advanced ironworking required to make proper iron barrels, the point becomes a bit moot when you realize that bronze, while more expensive per unit, makes a much better barrel with metalworking skills that would be ancient by the time they were called on to make...

I have something of a dislike for the "Fantasy Gun Control" trope. That is, guns, gunpowder and cannons of any ilk are banned from all fantasy settings (some exceptions, but it's pretty much default) for being too high-tech, even in settings that have technology that came much later than early...

Yeah, that sub-section kind of put a clamp on the whole thing, did't it? "we don't know now, and also, we shan't ever know!" I guess I'm technically an Agnostic Atheist then. But why would I need to "specifically not believe" in any god? I grew up in a protestant country, do I need to have a...

But here are also more than one type of agnoticism; there are those who simply say "we don't know if there is a god", and there are those who hold the postition that such knowledge is inherently unknowable. Both are called agnostics. While a person asserting that "there is no god" would...

The default position must be doubt. Admitting you don't know something is excellent, but stopping any effort to find out after admitting that makes no sense. Being an atheist isn't to state with certainty that "there is no god", but it's rather the application of Occam's Razor; all the advances...

I'm a little confused by the doublethink going on here; a story that never took place anbout a young couple taking a journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem because of a nonsensical census that we know never happened leads us ultimately to conclude THE TRUTH; this man is the successor of David...

I'm sorry, bit I'm going to have to disagree. When the bible says that Pi = 3, the mathematician will show it to be wrong. When the bible says that crickets have four legs, the entomologist will count out the legs of a cricket and proclaim this statement to be incorrect. When the bible says that...

Celestial teapot, Invisible Pink Unicorn, False Equivalence. Occams razor. Look them up. What do you mean by " there isn't any actual evidence of any of the attributes"? Do you mean attributes of God? Because if that's what you mean, sure, there are plenty of attributes to be taken from his...
