I made a religion (still working on a name)

As there is nothing innate in the simple belief in God that says kill the unbelievers. I take it this means you agred with me and repudiate Magic's blanket condemnation of religion?

Aaand I'm done here. If you aren't even willing to reply to my actual response and instead choose to cherry-pick your way to victory, then I'm not going to bother anymore. Good bye, and have a nice day.

Dude, you ignored practically everything she said there.You're not going to win many debates by ignoring the majority of a person's point, only to pull out a single sentence and try to twist it to turn people against one another.

Actually, I'm a he, but thanks for the support anyway :P

@So Boerd

Could you please explain to me how what I said is a 'No true Scotsman' fallacy? I didn't say that communist countries cannot also be atheistic. All I said was that communism and atheism aren't interexchangable by virtue of being about two completely different things. By the definition I have given before, how exactly could one not be both religious and communist (in the sense that everyone should be equal and deserve equal property, chances and whatnot, and that one man should not have more might than any given other) at the same time?

Also, for future refernce, please either quote the entire post, or add something like <Snip> to state that you have removed something that wasn't important to your point. Right now the part you have copy-pasted makes it look like I said that atheists would never harm anyone, which is obviously not true. Once again, I am well aware that both communist and atheists have done horrible things. All I am saying is that
A: You cannot lump the two groups together.
and B: Atheism doesn't have any codes/creeds to follow, meaning that any code that is followed by any given atheist must stem from another source. This might be a personal hate towards religion/religious people, it might be indoctrination/peer pressure by a group; really it could be anything, there's just nothing innate in atheism that dictates that non-nonbelievers should be killed or whatever other horrible thing you can think of.

Here's the thing. Atheism is not (or at least not always) an active denial of the existence of god(s); rather, it's a lack of belief that god(s) do exist. Atheism has no holy book, no doctrines, no dogmas or anything like that. There is literally no way in which atheism as a whole can cause or justify anything, just like not believing in santa can cause anything. Of course, this doesn't mean that an atheist is magically incapable of violence or otherwise discriminating against others, but that's not because of atheism but rather because of either simple human nature or because of something that goes beyond basic atheism.

As for communism: Communism =/= Atheism. Communism is a political/economical/social system with the intent of creating a classless, stateless community. Everyone would be equal regardless of their job or skin colour, there would be no elite class. There would be no poverty by virtue of everyone getting what they need as long as they give what they can give.
Honestly, on paper (Note that I said on paper, I know that in practice it doesn't work) it's pretty much the best system there is, IMO. However, the problem lies with human nature not being happy with being equal to everyone else. We always strive to be better than the rest, earn more than the rest and whatnot. This generally results in the leaders being corrupt jerks who have all the resources and everyone else being left in the cold, and woe to anyone who tries to protest to the system -- something which we can see in just about every single other system ever, by the way.

And I’m glad I’ve been avoiding the guild, so I don’t even know what’s going on!

Heh, guess I took the right moment to take a step back. You know, before Felt got drawn into the umpteenth clusterfuck.

And then time-space magic happened, which may or may not involve Keine eating history.

On a bit more serious note: DC, now that the event never happened, your second post has also been rendered moot. I'm assuming you will edit this as soon as the people before you have made a new post, but could you please snip it out for now for the sake of avoiding confusion?

So... I see you guys/girls/somethings were busy last night? O_o

I think Kaga broke again. Does anyone have the number of the repairman?

Hmm... Most of the commands in the File menu were pretty obvious in the sense that Leon had seen them before, and he could sort of guess what a couple of the others would do. Well, there's always time to check those out later. First things first, saving his new creation under the new names: "Tiny" and "Giant" ... for the slenderman and dwarf versions respectively.

After that was taken care of, he went on to see if there was anything else he could do with the program. As fun and shiny the thing was, there's only so much fun you can have by moving sliders around. 'Run'... Maybe that would summon the creatures into the real world? Or at least as real as this place was ever going to get, that is. Either way, that seemed like a Very Bad Idea (tm). Other options then? 'Add form,' maybe? Or would that just add another tab to the thing. Speaking of which... What did that other tab look like anyway? Well, only one way to find out! With the spirit of Science taking hold of Leon, the somewhat disturbed man clicked on the Form 2 tab of Basilix' file.

Yeeaaaah.... ^^" The new Classic mode is so addictive, thoooough!

Speaking of SSB, what are your most awesome/hilarious moments? One of mine would be a somewhat trolling moment I had today in an online match. I was playing as Adult Link, two other players were using Little Mac and Samus. At one point during the match, the Samus player managed to pull off a Final Smash. The only problem; she was on an elevated platform quite a bit above the rest of us, missing everyone. That is, until I, as Link, used an Upward Smash to slam the Little Mac player right into the beam XD.
Sure, the kill went to the Samus player, but my <deity> was it worth it >=D.
