    The "God is Imaginary" blog

    Fair enough, but at the same time, I don't believe parents should be shoving this stuff down their kids' throats. I mean, what if it turns out to be false hope, not only have the parents done them disservice by denying them freedom of choice and indoctrinating them. I mean with so many religions...

    However you can use 'same-spelled' words to different effects. An example of this would be the word minute: "Please could you wait for just a minute." / The pet mouse was abnormally minute.

    George Bush

    You are quite right to be cynical about what would happen, but I would have thought if the nation was under attack, it would be the leader's moral obligation to do something about it. I haven't encountered the word incumbency anywhere. When I saw it I looked for it in every dictionary I could...

    Grammar Hospital

    (Obviously.) Make sure you know the meanings of all the words you write, whilst certain words may sound impressive, if they do not make sense in the sentence, you will be left looking daft . On top of this, the meanings of words can change with the spelling (e.g. 'Two', 'to' and 'too') Do not...

    Grammar Hospital

    I am somewhat dubious as to how successful this thread is going to be. Let us not forget that correcting the grammar of anyone at all is seen to be the epitome of rudeness. Seeing as I am taking English Literature and Language at AS level, it would be rather concerning if I needed grammar...

    George Bush

    Fine then, and don't make me out to be some amboebic child. Policies: "I don't know how I got in, I was running against peace, prosperity and incumbency" The first two he said he was against in that interview are almost universally agreed to be beneficial to any society. The third was not...

    are you quite done? Fair enough I shouldn't have used the quotation marks. I know your second point. I know that he was praising it and I think it's good for people to have hope (which can be read as faith here). I bear no ill will to people who are religious. Maybe I should have made that...

    i saw someone say obesity was a disease today

    What I find interesting is that you don't actually have to be fat to be obese. you could be scrawny but if the scales don't do you any favours, you can still be obese. Cases like this are rare but do occur.

    George Bush

    I did read them it's just that this is one to voice your opinion about him. It goes without saying that he's not a good public speaker. No I did not look in a bleeding thesaurus, I am an avid reader of good fiction and I have been since I was eight so enough with these hollow accusations. yes...

    Poetry the new plague.

    A painting meets me on every floor, It's eyes follow me to every door, The eerieness sets in. I could see encroaching darkness, Arcanum of a forgotten hardness, Purloins me amidst the din. Myriad jaws unhinge, Deathly fires seethe and singe, The forgotten truth, The last phase, Now...

    The "God is Imaginary" blog

    I guess that science has never been able to disprove God. Too bad that that's a bona fide logical fallacy, I mean, what if I asked someone here to disprove elves, hobbits and the rest of middle earth, you simply could not do it. Same scenario. I don't believe because as far as I'm concerned...

    Jehovah's Witnesses

    I'm was brought up as a Jehovah's Witness. There are way too many logical fallacies (e.g. the beasts of the field came before the trees?) It is a sect of Christianity in the vaguest of senses, it does have followers all around the world so I guess it is a religion (generally cult groups are...

    George Bush

    For a religious man he seldom goes to church. It is hard to put my opinion of him into words but here goes: A pretentious, globulous, incompetent, idiotic, cretinous, avaricious and heinous (instead of saying a word that could get me chucked off the forums) twit. "Every republican knows the...

    Does God punish masturbation?

    It's a bit pathetic really, if lust was such a bad thing why on earth is it an attribute of all "God's" creatures. I mean what separates us from other animals is our ability to act on thought rather than instinct but if we apply that to this rediculous degree, we are no longer human, we're...

    FFXII: Love It or Hate It?

    I agree, whilst it had its share of faults, they were mostly negligable and it is a great game, almost encyclopoediacally deep, I preferred the field system to the turn base, you still had to use gambits right when it came to the harder parts in the game and there were plenty of puzzles and siqe...

    Do you believe in God?

    It's not actually that stupid (your first point). I can't be bothered with religion either. If there's a flaw in the logic then it cannot be so. Link to my other points. It is as simple as that.

    Capital Punishment

    Definitely not. Capital punishment is flawed on so many grounds. First and foremost: Courts screw up. It's happened before and it WILL happen again. Every so often a person is accused and convicted of a crime they did not commit, if this happens then society bears the burden of homicide...

    Do you believe in God?

    No doubt about that. Considering the substantial lack of evidence outside of the religious texts, it would be like me trying to impose on everyone that the world came about by accident from the sweat of a pan-dimensional space giant's armpit. It is lunacy. People ask me "Do you think that this...
