For me, it's people who either attack or defend religion without having done any study of the history of said religion to understand its origins, and why it was so important at conception. On the same note, people who decide to attack the faith, rather than the morons causing the anger in the...

I appreciate your intent, and certainly don't mean to attack your view of faith either. However, I think the individuality v. group traits you described are less indicative of religions themselves and more the old saying "a person is smart, people are stupid". Anytime a group of people come...

As a yank, thank you for your kind words. I suppose I can't come up with as well worded a reason for appreciating the culture of the U.K., but here's a list of things that I appreciate from across the Atlantic: -damn that accent is sexy. -i will always spell it "Theatre" not "Theater"...

And I was born in the south (Birmingham, AL) and raised Baptist, and also became an atheist for a good long while. If you can find strength without any faith or external support system, then you're truly a strong person. I just think that your view of Christianity is based on much too small a...

No worries, my family is originally from Texas. Those kinds of people are still Christians...they're just also idiots.

Southern Baptist is a sect of Christianity...as is Catholicism....you can be Christian in many different ways: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_denominations

My only problem here is that you're going after the faith, and not the minority of believers who act that dumb. The Silent majority of Jews/Christians aren't like this, only the vocal minority. Instead of just looking at the Bible, try learning about the context for why it was written, and why...

Hey now, no needs to make fun of all us "yanks"...many of us have studied religious history too!

wow, generalization much? Man, sure glad that I'm not a Christian like Martin Luther King Jr, or Thomas Beckett, because they were just assholes, apparently. Hating a religion because of a rushed understanding of its history is also arrogant and selfish

To be fair, none of the Batman movies prior to "Batman Begins" had costumes in which Batman could turn his head either, with the exception being Adam West's costume. OT: Am I the only person who, upon seeing the picture of Anne Hathaway, paid no attention to her "non-cat" outfit and instead...

"I feel strongly that this change to Barry opens up fresh, new creative directions and exciting new storylines." In other words...new romances with minor characters and potential one night stands (see: post-One More Day Spider-Man). Cunningham, you just wanted Barry to be a swinging bachelor...

Usually it depends on how well the choices fit into the overall story, and how well the game is able to immerse you into its world. In GTA: IV it just felt weird for Niko to still be a "bad guy" since the story is trying to make him out to be sympathetic, and trying to escape the same...

So, like most everyone else, I was incredibly angry about the Themis Media/Extra Credits fiasco, and once publicly wrote that I would begin to rarely visit the site in order to show my dislike...and yet here I am, watching videos here everyday like normal, adding views to commercials, and...

To be fair, they probably had a reason, but it was likely related to the American people not caring anymore after we beat the U.S.S.R., and the fact that it was ungodly expensive to send people to the moon. that being said...yeah, I wish we would have kept going with the moon program. Hell...

While I can't blame the Escapist for the CAPTCHA system or Advertisements, since this is, you know, a FREE website, I am furious if James' side of the story is accurate, and the Escapist wasn't willing to pay and then asked for the money that was meant as a donation. I don't know if I'll leave...
