I didn't realise we wre going to turn this into an scp discussion :P (yes, they have "captured" god). On another note, you said it was being controlled by the roman hierarchy, as i know, but why get rid of the badass factor considering how well it sells in civilizations such as Rome?

4 or 8 years from now... all the too young to vote people may just be old enough to vote... if their mindset does not change much.

EDIT: Blurgh, how'd I post this here?

Same reason, that completely escapes me, that they got rid of gladiatorial combat. Some people just HATE when you have fun.

So why does God even need a greater plan?
He doesn't have one. or maybe he does. Depends on your intrepretation. ((Don't ignore me.))

Remember when the Christians toke over the Roman empire, or at least their religion. Christianity sold way better than their previous religion.

Actually, one of the tenets preached in Chrsitianity is that we really shouldn't judge anyone, because it's not our place. A 'true' Christian is supposed to be nice to everyone. If a serial killer murdered your family, offer him cookies and try to help him with his issues.
Hate the sin, love the sinner. If your whole further live is dominated by your wrathfull quest to bring that one men down, then what life are you living. Is that life devestated by constant misery and hate worth it.

But what if you forgave him, and managed to continue with your life. Forgiviness is not (only) got for the sinner, but also frees the victim.

Sure this is an extreme example, but that's the gist of the Christianity (or at least one flavour of it.)

Ninjas, again. ((Don't worry guys, I forgive the ;D))

Though ninjaing me while I write my ninjad addendum is a bit much.

Imagine what would have happened if you went in depth about how awesome pagans are. There would have been world wide war.

Not really. Long in depth things tend to be ignored.

Sort of precessor to wikipedia. Something of a copy between tvtropes and the former actually.

I feel offended that they label our language a dialect.

Who am I kidding I couldn't give any less fucks.

If any of us ever go into space, then a copy of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy must be taken with us. Also, it would be incredible to have an author do a reading from space.

All that debate on agnosticism vs. atheism. You seem to forget, they don't close each other out. I am personally agnostic atheist. Means "I don't know if god exists, but I don't think he does." Gnostic atheist would be "I know god doesn't exist." (not very common)

Agnostic theist is "I don't know if god exists, but I think he does." and gnostic theist (the more common theist) is "I know god exists."

I'm generally a Gnostic Atheist. :P I just don't try to push it because people get all silly over that whole deal.
