I know. It sucks. But at least he's staying til September, I think. I wonder who will take his place.

by **Thade** Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:11 pm

Brian Williams. I hope. Can you imagine the shitstorm?

by **Mr. Fountain** Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:15 pm

I know nothing about Brian Williams, I rarely watched his show if ever. I am aware of the scandal but that's about it.

by **Thade** Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:16 pm

He was basically THE anchor. I never watched him either but I knew who they were talking about the instant the whole scandal thing came up.

by **Mr. Fountain** Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:40 pm

The Legend of Ron Burgundy-tier, right? XD

by **Thade** Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:46 pm

Pretty much. Sans mustache, of course. The Triumvirate of anchors/reporters is basically Brian Williams, Wolf Blitzer, and George Stephanopoulos.

by **Mr. Fountain** Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:47 pm

I like Anderson Cooper more than Wolf Blitzer.

by **Thade** Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:48 pm

I was debating with myself which one to include. I settled on Wolf because he has a much cooler name.

by **Mr. Fountain** Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:49 pm

I can't argue with that.

by **Thade** Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:49 pm

Wasn't this at one point the religion thread?

by **Mr. Fountain** Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:51 pm

I conquer nations in my free time and enslave alien races. Hi, I'm a Mormon.

by **Thade** Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:53 pm

Ha. I got them to stop coming by my door telling them I was a strict Jehovah's Witness. Apparently they didn't want me finding out where they lived and going after them.

Semi-re-topicing. I'm pretty sure I dated a wiccan once. Is that relevant? XD

I remember even as I grew more jaded with religion, pagan stuff with rituals that people legitimately just make up and stuff always seemed more appealing. No old books and dogma for those people, just burn a candle and night and say some hocus to keep assholes and bad luck away!

Its so juvenile as to be endearing.

by **Thade** Mon Feb 16, 2015 5:10 pm

It never really interested me, but I can see the appeal of stuff like that.

by **Fi Skirata** Mon Feb 16, 2015 5:16 pm

At least a few people burning candles and chanting because they want good luck in love or something is innocent. Much better than going to an organized religious facility twice a week to get lectured on why you need to hate other factions of people.

by **Thade** Mon Feb 16, 2015 5:19 pm

Until it gets weird and cultish. Ala Scientology.

by **Fi Skirata** Mon Feb 16, 2015 5:24 pm

Weird, cultish, and greedy, in their case.

by DorkOrca Fri Oct 02, 2015 6:48 pm

Purely atheist. Neutral to religious followers as long as they stay out of my and other uninterested groups' business. I'm irritated by those who incorporate their religious beliefs into their attitudes towards social issues (although this doesn't mean that I dislike such people, just their darned opinions, sometimes).

by **Fi Skirata** Fri Oct 02, 2015 7:12 pm

Am I the only one who gets incredibly irritated when social conventions demand I say blessing over a meal when eating with a Christian family?

Like. I wanna eat. Come on, man.

<.< weird nitpicking. Sorry.

by DorkOrca Fri Oct 02, 2015 7:14 pm

That was my entire life as a child. And then eating and forgetting to say your blessings, then being reminded by someone and feeling terrible because of it. Religious struggles.

by Panzer Lancer Tue Oct 13, 2015 1:28 am

I think religion is really cool. Great way to control people and institute state authority! And dogma has always fascinated me, it's just so freaking intimidating that it's badass.

Unfortunately, I myself am an atheist. But I'll advocate other people for Christ or Mohammed any time of the day!

But I probably wouldn't advocate Judaism... :V

I, honestly, wouldn't know what to call myself.

I like the idea of a higher power watching over you, but a lot of the scriptures don't align well with my beliefs.

so... idk

Sounds like you should look into some paganistic religions.

Cthulhu beckons you.

Alternatively, you can always revert to old god worship, or maybe consider Zoroastrianism, the OG monotheistic faith before Abraham was cool.

Or you can just be Deist and call it good.
