    MSNBC "In God We Trust" Poll

    I understood what he said, but I wanted to make absolutely sure to draw the distinction, because many Christians confuse the two, when in actuality, they are very different.

    MSNBC "In God We Trust" Poll

    There's a difference between founding by people who believed in, and followed, Christian principles and founding a Christian country. If the United States of America was founded as a Christian country why don't we see, say, the 10 commandments in our laws? Why don't we see any of Christ's...

    MSNBC "In God We Trust" Poll

    Are you more willing to keep the motto because you're a Christian or because you care about history? If you're honestly interested in preserving and honoring our Nation's history, then we should go back to our original motto which was adopted by our founding fathers in 1782, "E PLURIBUS UNUM"...

    Google makes us happy today!!!

    I may pass on this until the "official" release. I don't mind beta testing a game, but I'm not going to risk doing so with my browser.

    MSNBC "In God We Trust" Poll

    The problem is that no one can define what a "True" Christian is. That's a logical fallacy referred to as the "No True Scotsman" fallacy. Christianity has a LONG history of pointing fingers (and swords) at other Christians that aren't part of their group, from its inception until today...

    Watchmen, will you watch-it

    Well hopefully the value of my copy will go up after the movie :)

    Shopping for a printer!

    What about Kodak's Easyshare printer? The cartridges are pretty cheap, which is one of its big selling points. Black is $9.99 and a 5-ink color cartridge is $14.99...and that's straight from Kodak's site. Printers go from $99 to $199...

    Watchmen, will you watch-it

    I'm number 4: I know what it is, but have NO idea what the hype is. I actually own the complete graphic novel...picked it up many moons ago, tried reading it and thought it was a borefest. I still have no idea why it's regarded so highly. It DOES contain many mature themes...this is...

    MSNBC "In God We Trust" Poll

    Why do you guys sound so surprised? Christianity is the largest religion in the world and the United States is roughly 80% Christian. I would have been surprised if it was anything different. EDIT to add this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_God_We_Trust Looks like the motto wasn't...

    Jesus and His Righteous Anger

    What about books written BY the pastor? Especially a pastor of a televised megachurch...like say, Joel Osteen?

    Defending Christianity...

    Well Christianity is easy to make fun of...it's a huge religion and well, no one kills you for jokes :) In my experience, the vast majority of atheists just don't CARE about other religions, no matter what it is. It's when those religions start infringing on the rights of others, religious or...

    Defending Christianity...

    Just wondering why you are "consistently surprised" by non-Christians defending Christians?

    Defending Christianity...

    I always wanted to created an openly atheistic guild in a game. Maybe I'll try that in LOTRO. "No Gods, No Masters...NOW RECRUITING!" :)

    Christian Game Developers Conference 2008

    I honestly don't understand that line of thinking. If you're a Christian, why would you want a Christian game developer to create a game that hid Christ? You can't relate the story of Christ without Christ! See Matt 5:14-16 Once you remove Christ from the picture, what virtues do you...

    Christian Game Developers Conference 2008

    You can't call this a uniquely Christian theme though...you see this in other religions as well as myths and stories around the world. I understand the CS Lewis was a Christian, but taken objectively, the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe doesn't include anything that labels it decidedly...

    Christian Game Developers Conference 2008

    That movie was definitely a flop...which was too bad because the book was pretty good. But seriously, this can be said of most movies. The movie was a flop not because Pulman had to tone down atheist overtones, but because it was a generally bad adaptation. I didn't, and still don't...

    Christian Game Developers Conference 2008

    Different media...we're not talking about movies, we're talking about computer games. And from a secular point of view, the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe isn't as overtly Christian as Christians like to believe, especially the movie adaptation.

    Christian Game Developers Conference 2008

    Sorry, but this makes no sense whatsoever. A secular company would NEVER produce a game the promoted religious principles and themes. Why? Money. If you target Christian gamers (remembering that Christianity is the largest slice of the religious pie) you'll still only be targeting 33% of...

    Christian Game Developers Conference 2008

    What does "directly Christian" mean though? Christians, as a whole, can't even define what Christianity is (look at the Catholic-Protestant conflict as an example) so you're bound not to please every Christian. I still find it highly amusing at the absolute vehemence that man Christian...

    Christian Game Developers Conference 2008

    Objectively, I'm not sure how one would even broach a Christian-based RPG that had secular appeal. Let's count secular appeal out for a minute and just focus on Christian gamers. Let's assume that gamers, in general, follow the adherent breakdown of the rest of the world. That would mean that...
