Briefly wonder why he was starting with a triangle.

Rouleaux rotor.

Ah.
What does that do?

Spoiler: Religious Ramblings (click to show/hide)

How would you feel if your ominpotent/omniscent parent prevented everything bad from happening?

Better than if I was starving, diseased, and doomed to die no matter what.

It's easy for those few of us in the middle and upper classes of the First World to say "We are blessed by God," but why does He hate Africans, South Americans, many Asians--why does he seem to only help those in the Third World? What kind of God is it that can take credit for home runs, but the suffering and death of billions is completely ignored?

Moreover, consider the concept of Hell. "I love you; love me back or you'll get tortured for eternity." Oh, and most of the world has no real reason to believe in God (He has no more evidence than any other god, and given how world-altering many Old Testament stories are--and how completely unsupported everything from Exodus to the Flood to Eden is in teh archaeological record, He probably has less), and many areas have strong disincentives to believe in Him (the more Islamic nations, if you believe in Christian God; the more Christian nations, if you believe in the Muslim Allah; North Korea no matter who you believe in; etc), not to mention the places where God is barely known if at all. Why does God hate these people so much that He offers them not a chance at salvation, and makes sure they will be cast into the lake of fire?

And that's not getting into the scientific side of things. Why would God make a world so clearly undesigned if He wanted us to believe in Him?


TL;DR: No, it wouldn't be as bad as the world God allegedly created now, especially when we consider Hell. Or most of His actions or commands (which Jesus clearly said he wasn't overturning, so yes Christians still have to own up to this).

In case you haven't gathered, God is kinda one of my touchy subjects. (And I happen to know a lot about it.)

We're talking about two different G-ds here.

Mind explaining what you mean by this?

Rouleaux rotor.

Ah.
What does that do?

Basically it's a sort of rounded triangle that, when rotated, can sufficiently spin like a circle within a square. The mechanic tried to base his design off of this.

[GreatWyrmGold]

What practical purpose does that serve? Especially pre-wheel...

[Elephant Parade]

Posting to watch.

[Proto105]

Ask someone for a brief estimation of the population

[Icefire2314]

Tell your followers to begin spreading your faith to the other villagers.

It looks like footsteps. It's probably more intuitive to create an object that moves like footsteps rather than one that just glides along the ground.

[pedrousz]

Send a man with a wheel copy to spread our word.

Also, this is amazing, good job so far

I think it is a bit to early but we need to create our symbol
something like this would be nice I think

That would be cooler if there was a book and/or gear in the triangle.

Also, the bottom of the triangle should be colinear with the bottom of the square.

I didnt touch because I thought would be confusing to see the triangle since it is just a scheme

[CyberUrist]

You leave to go tell your followers to tell other people, but then you realize that they're not in the square anymore. Would you like to spend 5 mana to find them? Or do something else?
