There is a lot of negative talk about religion, but nothing good.
There has to be a good side to religion doesn't there?

I guess there are none.
Well I was thinking about making this thread about Arnold Swarchenegger and whether he could make a decent governor.
Feel free to discuss that instead
You know, my avatar is disturbing, even to myself. I wonder if I should change it. -
Only 2 threads, not 2 and a half !!!
I guess there are none.
And what will our winner take home today!!!
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

Religion allows you to build temples and cathedrals in your cities.
A temple makes 2 citizen content, and a cathedral makes 3 citizen content.Comment

"At least there were some thoughts went into Apocalypse." - Urban Ranger
"Apocalype was a great game." - DrSpike
"In Apoc, I had one soldier who lasted through the entire game... was pretty cool. I like apoc for that reason, the soldiers are a bit more 'personal'." - General LuddComment

If I said mine was made by Zylka, everyone would start seeing genitals in my avatar too.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

A boost to the imagination and creativity, an safe harbour in a strange and threatening world, a comfort to the old, the sick and the frightened, a social event with friendly people (usually), charitable works and a quiet moment of personal peace when required.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

Somehow it always sounds more like false hope to me.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

churches have a lot of resources like holiday houses.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
Look, I just don't anymore, okay?Comment

well I may go back to my fallout avatar. I'm just in a transitional phase now.
I've had that avatar for a very long time. I'm usually not the type to change it often.Comment

It gives people something to hang onto, something to live for, and a general sense of morals*. That's pretty much it.
*which can obviously be warped and twisted once in a while, sure...
Oh, and my (atheist) Dad agrees that the Cathedrals are wonderful works of art.DULCE BELLUM INEXPERTISComment
