summon giant cylinder then slam it into the ground.

It's so close...! And with my skill at mafia, I'm guaranteed to get killed N1.

paper? Curtain?

Well, unfortunately I haven't seen it. As I recall, Jesus also said "Though ye not believe me, believe thy works". I would believe the works, if such existed that are unexplainable by any science and are tangible. Personally, the original reason I believed in God is that an adult told me he existed when I was little and, being little, I took their word. But over time, I've listened to people talk about their experiences with God and seen it with others. I think I've seen Him get me through a lot of stuff the past few years that I don't think I'd have been able to make it through alone. You could say that I got through them because I worked hard, or just because believing in a higher power has some effect psychologically, or that there were coincidences involved, but when I put it all together, those reasons just don't work for me. But if I had to give just one reason that I believe God is real, it would be that He told me so. Audibly. Congrats to you. Sadly, no such revelation has occurred to me. I'm technically agnostic, but I lean toward there not being a God. I used to believe in God, but then I started asking others what their reason was to believe in God. They didn't have a good reason, then I realized I didn't have a good reason, and stuff happened from there.

I believe you are talking about Pascal's wager. true enough. However, which God is the real God? Sure, it's great to be talking about the numerous benefits of believing in God, but what makes you believe that God is real and not, say, Zeus or Allah or whomever? @Aaryan: Good point. For me, I just want to find out why others believe in what they do believe in.

1) Agreed. 2) Sure, it needed a prime mover, but why does that prime mover have to be omnipotent, omniscient, all-loving and conscious?

Yup, it's tuesday. Anyways, Hi!

EDIT: double post. @Slick: At first I thought your pls hurry was a key for a vignere.

oh, that makes sense.

Can I summon St. George? No, but seriously. My suggestion is to clothe one person in fire-proof armor and protect him from afar with whatever buffs we can give him. could we summon a pit for the soldiers to fall in? EDIT: better idea! summon a giant magnet to get all the soldiers' armor and weapons! EDIT2: catapult which throws a poison ball which explodes when it hits the dragon, creating a poison gas around the dragon.

how do I send in my answer? PM? EDIT: also, what secret objective?

but then how would vista and I get up through the red block?

Er, yeah, about that, the most widely accepted answer is 4.5ish billion years.

Nah, left did for time some.

Give me reasonable proof that has been tested by others and found to be consistently true, with no holes. As to what was there before the Big Bang, I haven't the faintest idea. Also, what "miracles" exist today? Sure, some things happen that modern science cannot explain. But actively trying to find an answer is better than sitting back and saying, "Well, I guess that was because of God. Case closed!" There simply is not enough evidence for creationism. Can you give me an example of some of the questions that you asked and the answers you found?

neither did I.

"When I asked a question about God, I would receive an actual answer that made sense." Well, who did you ask? What answer did they give you? I simply can't just trust and believe without proof, not when there is an alternative that seems to me to be reasoned and logical. yes, most mutations are harmful, but over eons of time, eventually cells would evolve. Also, I ask not how we can be sure that God created us, but how we can be sure that he has always been there and has always been omnipotent. As for the lack of transitional fossils, there are quite a few that we do have. Every time paleontologists predict a transitional fossil to look like this rather than that, far more often are they right as opposed to wrong. The whole universe was without shape or form, and an endless void before the Big Bang happened. The only way the existence of God can be proven is if a miracle happens that violates one of nature's laws that scientists have compiled painstakingly over hundreds of years. For instance, if a blob of matter were to spontaneously pop into existence in front of me, in defiance of the law of conservation of energy and mass, then I would have to believe that there is, in fact, a God because no other being would possess the knowledge and power to do that. Unless that it happens to be Zeus or an Aztec sun god or some other possibility. Tell me: if the chances of humans and other animals from evolution is ridiculously tiny, then what are the chances that your God is truly God and not some other god believed in by other cultures? Or an alien? Or a human in two trillion years, where the creation of universes is the pastime of children?

waffle?

but why would they need to think or create, when they don't need to? Eventually they would evolve that way, and be able to think and create, like we humans can now. Also, don't forget that many other creatures and animals display forms of lesser intelligence. Furthermore, if God is "omnipotent and eternal", then from whom did he gain those powers? His God? And if you insist that he gained them himself, then he evolved that way and was thus the first living thing. If God had those powers since before time and before everything else, as you believe or seem to believe, then how can you be sure that he did create us? He created us when we were created, and thus we have no knowledge of what came before us besides what we have managed to puzzle out from clues left behind. he may have gained his powers just after the first being was created, and therefore if that is true he did not always have powers. Essentially, that means that he is/was not omnipotent. On a side note, why do you actually believe in creationism? I've asked many of my Christian friends before, and they have invariably responded "Well, I was raised this way" or something similar. Which is a fine response, but I feel that for something as big as religion believers should have an actual logical reason.

Congrats, you just ate a poisoned fish! I wish that the streak of I wish I wish I was a fish ended.

some kind of metal?

I would try, but since I'm the one who created the walls, I don't know if I could keep enough concentration to simultaneously leap on to the newly created platform before the wall fades.

I swear that I will stop looking at old mafias from mafiamaniac. Just one more page.

Sorry, but I'm going on vacation for about three days. Starting tomorrow. The game probably won't start then, but if it does please find someone else to fill in for me.
