Hard to say. The tomatoes were very small (I'm not sure if they were grape tomatoes or not), and they gave us about 3-4 days worth of salad ingredients. The corn was a different story. We only had them for one year before we moved out of that province, but there were at least 30-40 stalks (it wasn't a fully formed square, but instead rows set up in a 'U').

My mother used to grow plants. We had corn in a roughly 20x20 foot block, chickens (that provided a lot of eggs, most of which went to waste despite my grandfather and I eating them every day until the chickens died), tomatoes (in a 5x5 foot block, but they were kind of gimpy), and some other European vegetables I can't recall the name of.

For the corn, she carved open fish heads and planted a seed in each of their mouths before burying them. Then she doused the whole place with pig blood. It wasn't worth it, imo.

Everybody is a religious person, yes, but you know the context that people use the term in. Colloquially, the question 'are you religious' is a question of a person's faith in a higher being. It isn't even a question of Atheism or Theism, since you can say 'No, not really' and still be a Christian, for example.

I'm using the definition provided in this thread by Neruz. This is also the definition given here.

Since we're using Wikipedia, maybe what we want to use is Nontheism, instead of Atheism, as circumstantial non-belief in a deity?

When Creatures 3 released DLC, it was touted as a great idea.

When EA releases DLC, people call them money-grubbing bastards who are destroying the video game industry.

It seems like it's a matter of perspective if you like it or not. I don't see the issue here, really. If you don't like DLC, you don't need to get it. I haven't actually encountered any DLC that was so important to the game that you couldn't play without it (except CitiesXL, but that's a different story altogether).

I should also note that as long as EA is raking in oodles of money, there are people working for EA who are able to support their families. I'd much prefer they increase their net income by selling us some horse armour than by shutting down a branch.

Analogies are great when they actually apply to the subject at hand. In this case, it does not. A religion is not a 'license'. If the definition of a religion is 'a set of beliefs about the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe', then everybody has a religion, because everybody believes something about the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe. If your belief is 'I don't know what I believe, but it's not that', you are not an Atheist, you're simply an Agnostic who has decided some options aren't viable.

A better analogy would be, if I do not have legs, I do not have legs. If I have legs and deny that I have legs, I still have legs. But if I do not have legs, there is no way that I can truthfully say that I do.

Can you also state what time that is in Eastern time zone?

I will ignore the trolls who are trying to strawman this argument by claiming I hate atheists (looking at you Sergius. This doesn't even make sense).

I still stand by the idea that believing there is no god and rejecting that there is a god is the same thing. You're right that not having a driver's license is not the same as having a license to not drive. But if I say 'no, I refuse to accept this driver's license', I still do not have a driver's license. Similarly, if you say 'I refuse to believe there is a Deity', you do not believe there is a Deity.

Neruz is correct on his original definition of religion (this is widely accepted by scholars). Religion isn't a single belief, but a collection of beliefs.

Norns are already stupid.

As are babies.

You should not let either of them wander the Ark alone.
