Something I threw together. What do you think of this layout/design for the Kotaku review cards?

I can't believe I was the first to get to it. Blew my fucking mind.

You don't understand — there's always money in the banana stand.

You mean the song that was named after Lady Gaga.

Haha, that was exactly what I came to post. You beat me to it however!

You can have your next "Modern Warfare" type of game. I stopped after Black Ops. Really can't get into them anymore. Too much Michael Bay, not enough Ridley Scott.

I find that behavior, in anyone, appalling. Appalling and gauche. I particularly do not appreciate it in Evangelical Christians because spitting misinterpreted Bible verses in my face is a quick way to earn my irritation. But I also do not appreciate being told I need to have the "truth" broken to me by an…

I don't generally look down on people who resort to religious belief in their lives - my roommate and very good friend is an extremely devout Catholic (which means we get to argue about religious faith and social policy). I will fully admit that having been, in my mind, fortunate enough to have been raised in an…

In no sense have I appealed to authority at any point in my posts. I haven't in any way insisted that I'm right because I believe that I'm right.

The idea that any belief about the world is just as valid as any other belief about the world is, I'm sorry, simply insane. To suggest that my belief that antibiotics are an…

*You* consider it destroyed because you personally find Russell's philosophical argument compelling. I do not. I find other philosophical arguments compelling. My philosophical and religious positions are not superior or inferior to yours. I'd never assert that they were superior and that you were "wrong," because…

I wouldn't say that I'm passing judgment on all of human history for our ignorance. Isaac Newton was a religious person - when he couldn't determine the cause of the solar system's stability, he suggested that it must be the case that God sometimes reached into the solar system to set the planets right. We can talk…

I've thought of a better analogy!

I don't think that non-believers should try to dissuade believers from their beliefs, unless those beliefs are actively harmful. Lots of unbelievers can be really dickish about that and I have no real issues with other people have faith in something I don't believe in. So I'm not exactly with Ossifrige. However, I…

This entire posts rests on a supposition that was destroyed by Bertrand Russell in 1952. There is no burden whatever on anyone to disprove assertions. By your reasoning it would be perfectly reasonable for your friend to believe that her husband is flying to Jupiter astride a magical pegasus each time he leaves the…

People tend to use the terms atheist and agnostic kinda incorrectly, to my mind. They often say that an atheist knows there is no God and an agnostic isn't sure. To me, an atheist is someone who doesn't believe in God. It doesn't necessarily mean that you deny the existence of God, just that you don't have a…

I call the concept absurd because it is completely divorced from the actual universe in which we find ourselves. There is no origin for the idea outside of the speculation occurring in human minds. It's incongruous with everything we can actually see, touch, and measure.

There's a lot that we don't know, for sure. But there's also nothing wrong with admitting that there are things we don't know. There's no actual need any longer for us to posit absurd entities living just beyond the margins of our sight, who reach into the world in invisible ways and direct our personal lives. There's…

Holla.

Because allowing people to tell themselves lies so that they can feel cosseted and comforted is not having respect for them.

I try and explain this to my boyfriend all the time. Atheism is his new thing, and he is quick to shoot down any good word I say about faith. I'm agnostic (formerly a Jesus Freak teenager, and thank maybe-god that those days are over), and while I can easily see how religion can and does turn well-meaning people into…
