Political correctness

I am sorry my brain is having mental packet loss.
What was the thread about again? I got lost but I swear I thought I read everything. My inventory stole the memory of what I read. Wonder if I can sue someone?
Gee wasn't I going to go to bed like few hours ago for few hours? I forgot that too. I guess I might as well stay up and say I don't know if there really is scientific proof of any you. I think you're all figment of sex starved imagination. LOL

It was an attempt by the OP to continue a debate where he put forth the idea that God or any other Spirtual beings do not exist and those who beleive they do are Mentally Ill and are mistreating their children.

That if people would just stop believing in God and other Spiritual things, the world would somehow become a better place.

Conveniently leaving out the fact that human nature would still exist in a world of athiests.

Not to mention, as Carli pointed out - it would reduce the number of things you could say during sex.

It wandered a bit about free speech and the forums, with a lot of people wondering where Strife is , since this is a Second Reposting. Finally we had a little US government debate thrown in, and lastly a bit of what cuases Sexuality to ice the cake (no pun intended).

Perhaps we just all needed little bit little naughty and get our debate on, have bit of silliness, perhaps have little of that strange thing called "social intercourse" instead of playing with our prims or shopping before Strife closes the threads?

That's an interesting perspective, Rei. I don't personally agree with it though. I don't consider belief to be seperate from opinion. I might convince myself so strongly of something, or the evidence of something might seem so inarguable to me, that certain of my opinions may feel immutable, but they aren't. They haven't changed into something beyond the realm of opinion, and opinions are choices. At least that's how I look at it. Other people's opinions may differ.

And yeah, I'm not doing a very good job of bowing out of this discussion am I? Damn you interesting topic!

I never said a belief wasn't an opinion - in fact, it is pretty much by definition. But that doesn't mean it's a choice.

Believe (heh) me. I would not have chosen to be gay and religious, both of which are things many people have assured me time and time again are my choices.

Voice chat will turn anyone with money invested in Ginko into gay missionary landbot child avs.

Did I miss anything?

It's the Viking helmet that does it.

I was determined, but ... applause and laughter

you didnt read it all
this is not a debate bout religion, but rather and much more wider, today's intellectuals mad rush to appease and embrace the irrational and attack and condemn reason. just another aspect of the anti-intellectual nature of modern culture. And AM, who wants to be politicall correct. Who ever entertained the idea for a moment. you didn't and neither have I. I would wade through a river of corpses to follow the truth where ever it leads! Reason my only guide! Milqtoast be damned!

Whatever you've taken, you shoudln't have

If ever there was a reason for Aleister to change his entire perspective, I think it was post #233.

I have noticed perhaps it same with women or certain ones but I have really noticed at certain points a lot of male friends and acquaintances even in SL certain people really love their opinions. And they will defend them regardless of quality, content or possible conflicts with friends, loved ones, etc. Perhaps they just are good Lawyer material because they just love to argue.
With few of my former friends and few lovers eventually their opinions become so important, being right is so important that it becomes like weapon.
Personally I guess I rather be wrong, and sissy type guy then be right and beating my chest and everyone around with how "right" my viewpoint is.
For me its not about not always agreeing or whatever. I just think in long run do I really have energy to be right and win over everyone with my "maniliness" or correct point of view. For some reason I thought the OP in his or her own way was disccussing something similar but who knows I am willing to be wrong.
