Oh shit.


Tsunami in T-minus 4h 09min 30 sec.

I knew today was going to be a crappy day. >_>


Well, we most likely wont be inundated, but we are looking at potentially losing water and electricity (and therefore internet) for a while. Guess that means I should get a shower in.


.....

Yeah, I heard about that. Good luck, and godspeed!

Ack, stay safe!

Lawl, that was the worst excuse for a tsunami /ever/.

*cough*3-feet waves*cough*

WHAT THE HELLZ DOES 'GOD SPEED" MEAN!!!??? Urg I hate it when people say that... makes no sense!!! God is S.L.O.W. *sigh*

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/godspeed - it doesn't have anything to do with speed.

Well, that's always good to hear Ninja. Hooray! We don't lose our grammar nazi YET.

I mean really. It took him *SEVEN* days to make the planet. *I* would have done it in 10 minutes.

exactly you would think that being all powerful he could do it in an
instant.... but no... seven whole freakin days... well 6 and he had to
rest the 7th what kind of god is that?

Just all the more reason why I'm glad I'm an Atheist. >=3. I mean, I've read the bible. It's a fun fairy-tale and all, but needs maor dragons on the boat that housed two of every animal that didn't reproduce or eat each other.

HEY! I believe in Raptor Jesus... He went extinct for your sins.

Better than agnosticism... WAIT THAT'S JUST A BRANCH OF ATHEISM.

Teehee, religion and antireligion.

No...no, it really isn't...

Antireligion is a great word though, I'm going to have to use that sometime.

But it is!

Atheism just means "without theism," which covers a boatload of things and stuff, including agnosticism, which entirely is covered.

Atheism is derived from the word 'atheos' meaning 'without gods'.

Not 'no theism'.

Considering the branch of agnosticism I fall under is apathetic agnosticism they're not terribly related.

It's still agnosticism, which is either theistic or atheistic, the cop out of "I'm agnostic, so leave me alone you atheist/religious freaks," fails.

Obviously highjacked thread. >_>

It's less that and more "I don't really care."

And as it stands your statement that agnosticism is a branch of atheism is still wrong.

And this thread doesn't have a real purpose any longer, so you know.

I know about apathetic agnosticism, but agnosticism isn't its own existence in any respect.

It's either people who believe that there may or may not be set god(s), making them theistic agnostics, or people who think the same of a general higher power, making them atheistic agnostics, people can choose not to define whatever it is they actually think under the safety blanket of agnosticism, but I'll be damned if it isn't there to be defined.

Yeah i am going to have to agree with Prosti on this one... there are ones that just dont care and others that are like "maybe maybe not... could be..." just because IMO they are to scared to make up their mind. BUT there is one more group that is very similar to the second that also adds that if there is a god we ae too stupid or ...lacking in the brain area to comprehend it anyways. So again, they dont care and it doesnt matter.

How the..? Agnostic means you're on the fence. It doesn't mean you don't believe. It means you believe there COULD be something or there's something but you don't know what.

Atheists are all about "PFFT! SCREW YOU SPACE MAN! COME BACK WITH SANTA AND WE'LL TALK!" and tend to have sub-beliefs to tack on (some believe in reincarnation, I believe you just rot in the ground).

Nihilists don't believe in anything. They don't think you go to heaven, hell or come back as a birch tree. They don't think you rot in the ground. Simply put: Complete and utter random chaos.

Christians (all of them) are proof that FORCING SOMETHING YOU *BELIEVE IN* IS A HORRIBLE THING. They have the highest conversion rate (in both directions) of any religion because of this. We get it. Some guy magically got 2 of every animal. They never mated. They didn't need food and clearly you were able to net every specie of mammal, bird and creepy crawly with the ability to maintain them all for a month and 10 days. ...Like I said; Good fairy tale.

If I were to ever jump the shark... Shintoism, Buddism and even Wiccan would be the first three options on my list. They seem the most convincing... Yes... People being able to cast spells seems more convincing than a guy who built a giant boat that housed over one hundred million animals.
