Does that mean I'm not a true Atheist?

I don't know, but you'll always be a true Scotsman to me.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Unless his parents were anti-religion, I guess.

Anti-religious? No. Atheist? Yes. I could make so many other remarks there, but...

Hmm, have you tried to understand what you criticize before you criticize it in its entirety, then?

If I understand what you're saying: Grate's parents, not mine.
If that makes no sense: What were you trying to say?

I'm unsure if you meant this in a jovial mood or not. xD

I did.

Heh.  You say that like "Atheism" means "Always disagreeing with religion, and arguing it's validity with religious people".

Oh, I know it doesn't. And you'll notice that this is the first time Grate is arguing over religion, and the argument is more about Lars claiming that gods can do impossible things than over the existence of gofd.

I'm a pretty strong Atheist, but I actually think religion is a good thing.

And, when applied to real-world situations, I disagree. Want me to list the reasons?

I don't argue against it anyways, because I have never seen such an argument end in a happiness gain.  I have seen such an argument end in drug abuse though.  Does that mean I'm not a true Atheist?

No, it just means you're less outspoken.

I still crack jokes about religion sometimes, and make fun of it.  But I try not to in front of religious people.  That's just being a jerk.

I never start discussions on religion. If I end up making fun of religion to a religious person's face, they started it.
And it's a lot more honest than doing so behind their back, neh?

SHHH!  Don't point out the fallicies I'm trying to make him use!  Even if they are obvious!

Oh, nevermind then.  I misunderstood you.

And, when applied to real-world situations, I disagree. Want me to list the reasons?

Nah, I've read them already.  Several times actually.  You post a lot.

Uh... define 'started it'.  'Cause I'm pretty sure I've seen you do so, on several occasions.

As to the honesty thing, there's a weird schism in my philosophy there, and whether I decide honesty or happiness is more important depends on my mood.  Although, in most cases if someone directly asked if I found jokes like that humourous, I would say yes.

As in "going commando"?

Lars wears his robe in non-combat situations; I could have him hike it up and forgo underwear.  Plus, he could stand on a pulpit and preach with his arms raised!

Please do. Last time we discussed this in PMs, you didn't reply. :v

Uh huh.

[Caellath]

Okay then, if you think that's best. I was just trying to RP a bit, make the scene a bit better. It's sometimes a bit hard to predict what details piecewise will (focus on/remember) and what he'll (forget/allow for (gameplay/story/fun) reasons).

EDIT: Plus, it would give me an opportunity to use the most clichéd excuses for the situation: "I think I'm coming down with a cold." and "Speaker's acting up again, distorting my voice."

I figured we should up the ante only when needed. In case it was a human guard, talking to them would be far better since silently giving them your documents would probably seem strange to them, but a sod with orders to check IDs is probably more of a deadly, organic card reader than anything else. Since they aren't designed around social grace, giving them your ID while not showing them your face is your best option.

Oh god, not again.

Not in this thread, please.  PM, elsewhere, don't care.  Just please not here.

[Tiruin]

I should probably write up that when I use :v I mean it as sarcasm just as much as when I do  .

I'd appreciate if if you didn't insult me.

Understatement of the day.

Uh... define 'started it'.  'Cause I'm pretty sure I've seen you do so, on several occasions.

...Can't remember any. I don't really have a firm definition for that, just like I don't have a firm definition for when I can hit someone, or when Character X is a complete monster.

As to the honesty thing, there's a weird schism in my philosophy there, and whether I decide honesty or happiness is more important depends on my mood.

Honesty. That's good.

What have you done, Harry/Paris?

I don't remember not replying, doesn't seem like something I'd do unless the debate was getting really annoying. I barely remember the debate.
So, sorry about that. Probably.

...This makes a lot of sense. >_>

...?

:v is kind of a vague emoticon.

It's not fair if you don't blame La too.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Who's La and what did s/he do to deserve blame?

[Tiruin]

la = lawastooshort; la is the name he officially told us as his nick.
You should search up his games. ;P
Also it's not bad blame it's...ehh, I'll leave it up for you to decide.

[Toaster]

Who's La

*faints*

Hilarious (and relevant)

Plus several others!
