Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

That's fairly responsible. I've never been to a rave, and I kind of wish I had when I still indulged in empathogenic stimulants.
Didn't agree with what I have read of it. On morals and evolution.
What's your take, then?
Oh, Internet. You're the best.
they are restricting my ankles!
I tried E a couple times up here in Juneau with some friends, but it is just not the same outside of a rave environment. It's like, I have all this empathy at the ready, but no community to share it with.
Hell, I'd probably love a proper rave without the aid of drugs. I hear complaints from my friends about candy kids and the rave community, but I swear to god they have got something going on there.
Well, beneficial in terms of him winning religious friends and the like. It's a great title for the book's intended audience.
Also, Sam Harris never used the word "atheist" in The End of Faith and has stated that he doesn't enjoy using the term or having it applied to him.
Barely.
I think that an entire religious debate done in haiku would be genuinely enjoyable.
Edit: Not saying that Trochaic Heptameter is haiku.
You say there is God
I see only the fleshmeat
Prove your space daddy
Turrets, and lots of 'em.
I play zerg.
You're a smart guy Feral.
But apparently not smart enough to just check that checkbox are you some kind of goose or something I'm the goddamn batman
That without a divine lawgiver there can be no natural right or wrong, which is what I define morals as
so basically, there's no inherent moral rules anywhere
there's no thing you can physically do that you for some other reason can't
I...hm.
I thought you were talking about Supreme Commander 2.
Woops.
pull them halfway up
jeez, must we do all the thinking around here?
some people might argue that
being moral because you want a reward (heaven) or are afraid of being punished (hell) is inferior to being moral because it's the right thing to do
also I am not a poet so all the trochaic heptameter I know is gravemind quotes
This is a brilliant idea. You just need mod support to infract anybody who breaks the metre.
This should be a new rule for all religion threads. As soon as a mod comes in and says "religion thread rules apply here," it is on!
It's been awhile since I read it, but I want to say that you and Dawkins might be talking apples and oranges. Evolution here would describe the origins of human propensity to act in a way that we would call moral, or at least altruistic.
I see you have an opinion.
I have a different one.
If by moral guidelines you just mean Nice Rules To Follow If We're Gonna Have A Good Time Upon This Earth then yeah, sure
but if you mean like, these things are evil and these are good, then I disagree
Inqui your uptight
Relax, man, smoke a blunt, dude
Smoke your cares away
God is empty just like me
atheism now
yes let us talk about inqui's uptight relax
Look man, why take a form that was designed around a language that is nothing like ours and suits our language terribly when there are tons of forms that suit our language swimmingly?
Oh god it's combining two awful things into one.
more like gag reflex
So you're arguing against Objectivism, basically.
I can get behind that.
Especially Adore.
But wouldn't it be funnier to try to force their anger into sonnets?
