Ready for National Loftus Day tomorrow!

Due to rampant stupidity by Skeptics, and time issues, I'm only going to be on TWeb in my own (tektonics.org) section from now on. Deal with it.

Bioware fanboys are usually so stupid they make Yo Lunch look like Isaac Newton, but this nutter takes the cake:

Oh, I understand that, and I won't argue that point. But, I LOATHE the Chantry. LOATHE it. Mostly because it's just the DA-universe version of the roman catholic church of the 500AD+ that more or less halted scientific discovery for nearly 1000 years. It was a stain on our planet's history. Without that damned Dark Ages, we'd have mastered inter-planetary space-flight easily by now. Likely being well on our way to inter-solar space-flight. Religion will always stand i nthe way of great scientific breakthroughs for one reason or another. Genetic engineering is an extremely controversial topic, mostly because we'd be changing "God's perfect creation" when we are FAR from even one iota of perfection."Years ago, I mean decades ago, I read a quote about politicians performing quid pro quo favors for campaign cash, and whether or not we could prove it. The guy who was quoted opined that it was difficult to determine. He noted that in many cases, the payoff might not take the form of votes on legislative action -- those might be detectable, and so are avoided -- but could take subtler forms, like the question that is never asked at a hearing.
The media's doing a terrific job of not asking questions it doesn't want to know the answer to. It doesn't ask these questions in bulk, and the great volume of questions it doesn't ask makes it cheap to not ask questions.
And it passes these savings on to you, the customer." Ace

As early as 1820 the times were less different than 1 AD than our times are to 1820. Even if the times called the Dark Ages by many deserved that epithet to some extent, from our perspective after the tremendous progress we've made since 1820, that is hardly a 'stain'!
Dr . Gary North discusses the question of what happened around 1800 that led to such an explosive rise. The moon in less than 200 years. iPad for most Americans less than 200 years, etc. http://www.garynorth.com/public/7817.cfm

What a load. If not for the Church preserving and advancing scientific thought, we'd only now be getting into the industrial revolution (or probably still fighting over the ruined husk of a broken empire). The bitter pill is that the Greek intellectual tradition inherited by the Pagan Romans was in severe decline for hundreds of years before the rise of Christianity as a political power, it's science and philosophy restricted to an eccentric hobby, much of it lost or forgotten or erased in favor of treatises on how to shake a magic rattle (in order to save money on writing materials) by the pagans. The Greco-Roman world stagnated intellectually and was beginning to decay. It was Christian and Muslim scholars which revitalized the quest for scientific knowledge, saved, translated and studied countless works long forgotten by time, spread them around, developed it further (even to the point of challenging and correcting their mistakes and pioneering inventions and ideas well beyond what was thought possible, thanks to their focus on applied science) and rescued Western civilization by giving birth to Modern Science in the Middle Ages.

To make it the whole truth, we must add an additional clause: 'And for bad people to do good things—that [also] takes religion.' The main point of Christianity is that it is a religion for sinners. Jesus made that very clear. When the Pharisees asked his disciples, "Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?" he said, "I come to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance." Only a small fraction of sinners repent and do good things but only a small fraction of good people are led by their religion to do bad things."

I'd like to nominated Yo Lunch for an anti-screwball.
He's just so smart and brilliant, I've finally seen the truth. Christianity is all a joke!"One develops a cool and ironic sense of bitter humor, as well as a bloated ego, and this personality characteristic is the defining trait of atheists ancient and modern. If there is a meek and humble atheist or sorcerer brimming with the milk of human kindness, I have yet to meet him." -John C Wright
"Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as “bad luck.”"
— Robert A. Heinlein
"America's political system used to be about the pursuit of happiness. Now More and more of us want to stop chasing it and have it delivered."
"The government cannot love you, and any politics that works on a different assumption is destined for no good."
"Government money only pays for the "liberties" the government thinks you should have, and therefore it can determine how you exercise them. That turns liberties into privileges dispensed at the whim of the state."
— Jonah Goldberg
Virgins get tossed into Volcanoes because sinners have the majority vote.

I can't tell them anything, it's in a section they made just for game owners after DA2 bombed and the primary forums were packed to the brim with people yelling and making fun of them. Though it looks like the owners only club aren't that happy either. Originally posted by wildrow12
