Guns Don't Kill People; Men With Mustaches Kill People

And as far as the Church's "iron hold" during the Dark Ages, if the Church hadn't had said metallic grip, then a lot more history would have been lost, because the majority of literate people at that time were clergymen.

And as far as the early Renaissance thing goes, all that boils down to is speculation. All it is is "what-ifs".


yep and thats why there is no point argueing about it hahha

I just can't understand that. The past is what prepares us for the future. And memories, as bad as they might seem at the time, will provide insight, or even become cherished or humorous as time goes by. We wouldn't be the people today if not for the scars we earned struggling through life. Isn't it exciting?


well its goo to remember the past but i think HLF was refering to how the mind never forgets feelings.

I really hate charmers.

i really dont understand why blizzard wont make starcraft 2. the logic is almost the same as lucas nto releaseing the OT. like Starcraft has been called one of the best games of all time, its fits into that catagory with doom and duke nuckum. a sequel to the game would make them so much money they wouldnt know what to do with it.

Shim, I know I've already debated with you on this point in another thread, and so I won't bring up that particular argument again. I just want to say that I do believe that organized religion has done more harm than good, overall. It also served as a guiding light through the Dark Ages, until the Renaissance came along. There are hundreds of millions of people that would definitely disagree with you, myself included. Religion doesn't started wars; a few screwed-up higher-echelon people with a skewed perception of said religion start wars.


hahaha its funny when i jsut read your post it reminded me of the quote "guns dont kill people, people kill people"

your right thought it did serve as a beacon of light throught the dark ages, but, what might have happened i wonder if religion didnt have that same iron hold on the world through the dark ages. think of how much history could have eben saved. i donno if i agree with the, but its been said that if the roman empire hadnt colapsed and the dark ages hadnt occured a renossance kinda event would have occured 1000 years before so in like 600 AD rather then 1600 AD. alas i do remember debating you, hahaha so we'll leave it at that. you can rebute but i probably wont counter with another point

I've had enough Dowtime though, and I can't afford any more.

I just done a sketch I'm reasonably happy with. A little more work and it could be a good one. But now I'm back on here....


dont worry bud i knows how it feels, you'll get outta it, jsut keep drawing things. maybe draw something thats easy and will look really good to get you motivated, like a horizon or something.


I hate it when old feelings get renched outta that place deep down, and now your lonely and confused.

well i donno thats all stuff of the 20st century, religion was the cause of the crusades, and all of the wars through the middle ages, and the dark ages. look even in the 20th century. the hollocaste was caused by a difference in religion. SO many of the problems with the arab nations involve religious problems and difference in opinions on different traditions. well this may seem a little harsh but hope of an afterlife has also lead to many many more deaths in war, look at suicide bomber. look at crusaders so many of who went to war int he middle east cause they had commited sins and still wanted to go to heaven.

and as for your first point, it is irrelevent, i agree with you, thats what i was getting at, cause faith is not determined by proof of one thing or another. either you have faith or you dont.

oh god, (no pun intended) here ill save us hours of arguement. no one can prove, or disprove the existance of god. NO ONE. here is why. all the evidence science brings forward can be turned around, e.g. evolution proves god does exist cause life can arise by itself. that statement could be true, OR evolution could be a mechanism that god created to run the universe. back to the blizzard analogy it could be a subroutine, or something like that. As for the evidence brought forward from the bible. well many of those stories can be scientifically proven wrong, but again that doesnt prove that god doesnt exist, all it proves is that the bible is not literal. i remember watching a really interesting show on noahs arch a while ago, and they scientifically proved that there wasnt enough water in the oceans/ground/arctic/atmosphere combined to cause a global flood. what they did theorise was that the flooding of the black sea could have inspired the noahs arch story. or a massive storm that flooded mesopatamia. such a storm is theorectically possible however the ramifications of such an event wouldnt fit very well with the story.

so overall no one can prove one way or the other that god exists, part of having faith means that you believe with no proof. if god was proven to exist well there would be no such thing as faith, it might actually be more harmful to organised religion then helpful. thats a good thing though, i personally beleive that mans worst invention was organised religion. more wars have been fought in the name of god, where both sides thought they had divine support then anything else in history.
