Who's La and what did s/he do to deserve blame?

I don't know, but you'll always be a true Scotsman to me.

SHHH!  Don't point out the fallicies I'm trying to make him use!  Even if they are obvious!

I'd appreciate if if you didn't insult me.

Lars wears his robe in non-combat situations; I could have him hike it up and forgo underwear.  Plus, he could stand on a pulpit and preach with his arms raised!

What have you done, Harry/Paris?

I'm a pretty strong Atheist, but I actually think religion is a good thing.

And, when applied to real-world situations, I disagree. Want me to list the reasons?

Please do. Last time we discussed this in PMs, you didn't reply. :v

I don't remember not replying, doesn't seem like something I'd do unless the debate was getting really annoying. I barely remember the debate.
So, sorry about that. Probably.

...This makes a lot of sense. >_>

...?

Unless his parents were anti-religion, I guess.

Anti-religious? No. Atheist? Yes. I could make so many other remarks there, but...

Hmm, have you tried to understand what you criticize before you criticize it in its entirety, then?

If I understand what you're saying: Grate's parents, not mine.
If that makes no sense: What were you trying to say?

I'm unsure if you meant this in a jovial mood or not. xD

I did.

Heh.  You say that like "Atheism" means "Always disagreeing with religion, and arguing it's validity with religious people".

Oh, I know it doesn't. And you'll notice that this is the first time Grate is arguing over religion, and the argument is more about Lars claiming that gods can do impossible things than over the existence of gofd.

I'm a pretty strong Atheist, but I actually think religion is a good thing.

And, when applied to real-world situations, I disagree. Want me to list the reasons?

I don't argue against it anyways, because I have never seen such an argument end in a happiness gain.  I have seen such an argument end in drug abuse though.  Does that mean I'm not a true Atheist?

No, it just means you're less outspoken.

I still crack jokes about religion sometimes, and make fun of it.  But I try not to in front of religious people.  That's just being a jerk.

I never start discussions on religion. If I end up making fun of religion to a religious person's face, they started it.
And it's a lot more honest than doing so behind their back, neh?

<Yes. Her ulterior motive is that Selina's ability has a limited amount of use. Easier to retrofit the bracelets than to remake every single one.>

"...How can gods do things that are impossible? If things are impossible, nothing can do it. That's what impossible means."
And if my place in the universe is where Steve's put me...I don't like the universe much.

In-character theological arguments are...interesting. Grate wouldn't know half the arguments I'd use against Lars, and let's face it, Lars's faith isn't exactly Abrahamic standard.

<Yes.>

<Quite a well-kept secret, it seems.>

<You'll notice that I said it was not impossible to intercept a fast signal.>
