All you sorcerer and wizards, I should get started on some good backstabbin' and pick pocketin' here!

Us stealth types would do well methinks.

There comes a time when you must take off the soft, furry slippers of a boy and put on the shoes of a man.
Unless of course they don't fit properly and your feet blister up like bubble wrap.
Oh ho ho, but don't try to return the shoes, because they won't take them back once you've worn them.
Especially if that fat pig Tony is at the desk.

You don't have any spoons.

This thread had been through some interesting stuff.  Just caught up on like 20 pages worth.  I'd like to comment on the whole extraordinary claims/amount of proof needed for god vs evolution thing.

1.  Considering the 'extraordinary claims/extraordinary evidence' line is usually employed by super-rationalist types who tend not to give much weight to anything that isn't measurable, it's interesting how they fail to realize how subjective the notion of an extraordinary claim is.  Most religious types believe that evolution is actually the more extraordinary claim mostly on the basis that it goes against traditional beliefs.  For the record, I don't see religious perspectives as employing a good standard of measure here, but I still think it's worth point out that there is subjectivity here.

2.  I think what trips people up the most is the amount of evidence and observational consistency that evolution has going for it vs religion.  Neither has absolute proof of the truth or accuracy of its claims, but one definitely has more going for it than another.

Where X is absolutely proven to be true and accurate

Evolution
------------------------------------>      X

Religion
->                                                       X

Evolutionists look at it this way and think "Evolution doesn't need as much proof as religion to be an acceptable idea."  Where really they should require the same amount of evidence, but one has simply had more success than the other.  I think our minds want to mistakenly interpret the question as "How much more evidence is required for the idea to be absolutely proven."


And on the frozen chicken sex thing.... I've actually seen a video of this... regrettably.... I really really really wish I hadn't.... but it can't be unseen.  Just wanted to share my pain with you guys since the subject came up.  I don't think there's anything morally wrong with it.  I just wish I hadn't seen it. 

I know someone's going to ask why.  I know some extremely perverted people, my wife included.  She's actually responsible for this one.  Some people will give no second thoughts to absorbing the most fucked up shit they can manage to find.

The Taboo quiz asks you what you think is morally wrong. One of the questions involves a man having sex with a dead frozen chicken, then cooking it, then eating it, and having no regrets and no after-effects in the future.

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

I disagree with the alignment part of the quiz, as I have every time I've taken that identical set of questions (which I believe ultimately originated on the wizards of the coast site and has just been copied here and there). I'd put myself under Lawful Evil, but under that quiz you'd presumably have to answer Retarded Ax-Crazy to end up with that result... ::)


Bullshit quiz is bullshit.

To explain the unknown by the known is a logical procedure, to explain the known by the unknown is a form of theological lunacy.

Allow me to explain the contradictions, then.

1. This has been discussed many times. Ever hear of such things as the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Evolution is not proven 100%. For all we know, the Flying Spaghetti Monster could have done something and made it appear as though evolution is true. You have to understand that even gravity is still a theory, no matter what you may think. Evolution does have evidence in favor of it, but nothing completely and utterly irrefutable.

2. What, exactly, are those arguments? There are no definite arguments against any kind of god. You can argue all you like, but theists and atheists have zero completely irrefutable proof either way. There are certainly arguments against specific things about specific gods, but the overall idea of a god remains viable regardless.

3. Under such a system where a god could do such a thing (logical impossibilities), there ARE no underlying laws. With no underlying laws, then it is utterly ridiculous to even begin to discuss a god, much less the existence of it. Attempting to explain something illogical using logic is illogical in itself. By arguing that a god could be illogical, then you cannot logically say that you do or do not believe in such a thing. That is the position of ignosticism, by the way.
