Okay, let's go for it! XD

(And I haven't had breakfast yet, so we're even)

Yep, I'm on now. How about we have that battle? :D

Okay, I'll stay online for awhile now. Just send me a VM when you're on. ^_^

Well, I am online right now, and so are you. How about it? =D

And I'm not sure if it was the time you thought I meant, but I'm an hour late. *sweatdrop*

I wish I could be more into politics though, because I really want to vote when I'm old enough because I know despite being one person I will make a difference. I guess I should always vote for the Green Party then, that way I know my vote will go somewhere but nowhere in the same place, haha.

Oh my god, that's classic, I have to remember that. I'm not religious myself, so I wouldn't be offended in any way. I'd make a joke about Scientology, but Scientology doesn't need any jokes, since it's already one.
I think a history of it will be much better than any joke.

I can be available for most of the day tomorrow though, XD. How's 2PM GMT-5? Or later, if you prefer. ^^

I'd be lying if I said I was "above" those jokes, I just never saw anything wrong with getting laughs off of an otherwise controversial subject, granted that enough time has passed so it can be joked about.

Hah, you're right there. I personally try to not get involved into politics anymore though; the politicians are liars and the voters think the personal lives of the politicians are more important than their goals.

I understand. Also, hi Luck.

I find that hard to believe. You're one of the smartest people I saw, and because of that you earned my respect.

Haha, I guess you have a point there, I just prefer posting even when I don't have anything major to contribute to the conversation.

I saw you posting a bit around here, and I can only say this;

You're pretty awesome.

You still there, or do you want to call this little back-and-forth off for now? I'm fine if you do, of course.

I have Thursday and Friday off from work, so how about one of those days? ^^

Okay, you got it! Looking forward to having a rematch with you! =D

I suppose I've tried to conform a little with the new metagame, but I still tend to keep my old tricks more often than not.

Whenever you're ready. ^_^

Helllllllllllo
We were looking at TJgamer for hosting the new Poetry of the Week thread, and since you have posted your poems/spngs in the forum, we would like to know your opinion on it.

If you do not reply within 48 hours, your comment will most likely be ignored.
Thank You!

Or did you take a break from battling? In which case I'll give the spot to Carter.

What do you say? Still want to compete? ^_^

Hey Richard, how's it going? :D

You've got the Lucky Loser spot in the WiFi Tourney, and now you're paired against me! So, you up for a rematch? ^_^

Salvador Dali? No, I don't think he's overrated, I like his paintings, especially "The Persistence of memory"

My favourite by Rene is "Not to be Reproduced" I find it quite creepy.

Of course I do! He's one of the first Surrealist I've heard of and got me interested into Surrealism and other form of arts. The first artwork I've seen from him is "The Human Condition" which I saw in an old Art Magazine.

The nature of the site doesn't change the information it presents. I don't understand how it's reasonable to present an article claiming one such similarities, with no citations on the "important" half of the information, and then reject an article with citations to the reputable source for this information, on the grounds of "trying to combine religion and logic".

The article I presented uses simple logic, mainly that the alleged similarities have no reputable source, and comparison from the Book of the Dead as it relates to the Bible.
The man who started this whole thing is apparently named Gerald Massey, and it seems as though he essentially made the whole thing up. Here's some other sources, and that Stupid Evil Bastard site is definitely not apologetics based if that's your issue.

It's not an atheist doing good that makes him an enemy of God, it's an atheist who has sinned in the past. I'll agree it's scary, though perhaps not in the manner you're thinking of. And yes, there will always be some who think atheists are always evil all the time. However, they are actually fewer than there are made out to be.

Now, as for Jesus existing- I've found a page of recorded quotes, many of them by prominent Roman officials. There's some others too. It is an apologetics page, but the people involved have no input, except summarizing the ending portions of some of the letters they quote from. After some Google searches, I can say that many of these are reliable quotes. Perhaps you'll find differently?

Question is, would I get flamed for saying "Frida Kahlo" and/or "Andre Breton"?
