I never said that making video games was not a profession. I have the utmost respect for those that produce them.

I love Lady Gaga! Pop music is actually my favorite genre.

Since when does "entertainment" have value?

Just because it's demanding doesn't mean it's meaningful.

Making Youtube videos contributes nothing to society. It doesn't feed or clothe anyone, therefore it's meaningless.

How is making video games a hobby?

Yes. I would hate to be paid to do something I love.

If it contributes nothing to society it's meaningless.

Programming does, art and film creation don't.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a great thing? Perhaps he should get a real job rather than relying on a hobby.

Because God would make the rules. You must follow the rules of whoever instated them and has the power to punish or reward thusly. Who cares if God is an asshole; certainly many Christians wouldn't mind and would be rewarded by such a god.

It's certainly not as bad as Charles Martinet's rendition of Mario and Luigi in the RPG series. It's borderline xenophobia.

Well, they made a Yoshi's Island sequel (DS) and not a Yoshi's Story one, so taking from the former seems more likely.

Where are your statistics to back up the claim that the "overwhelming majority" of religious people believe in Young Earth Creationism? In my experience, and from what I have personally read, is that most don't.

If someone told me that an invisible, pink dragon were behind me I would believe them simply because my perspective is just one of billions. I can't look through the eyes or brain of another. There very well could be such a…

The Bible never said that God was a good god or benevolent god. Bad things happen to good people because God, if He exists in any sense, has no control or care over such things. It doesn't mean He doesn't exist.

I honestly don't understand the difference between finding out personally or impersonally. It's going to suck either way. You just seemed like a needless asshole to your cousin.

I'm 22 and male. I wish I had waited longer, but following a very hard breakup I was emotionally vulnerable and suddenly every girl wanted to have sex with me. I couldn't say 'no' and became very suicidal. I still fell like a emotional virgin, even if I'm not one "physically."

Saving money is hard when you're a normal person who has car issues, water and electric bills and people who rely on you to borrow money from or they'll be homeless. I get by, barely. I'm lucky to get by.

I save money for things that matter, like insurance and bills. I can't be expected to waste it on a gaming PC.
