Skyrim : Athiesm Using Religon Perks

I think you'd need:

1. Sword of the 'Spirit is an antiquated concept'
2. Shield of Lack of Faith
3. Breastplate of Right-handedness
4. Belt of No Such Thing as a Universal Truth
5. Helmet of Science

Jesus raised the dead so if you're going for religion perks, consider necromancy

So I just bought Fallout 3

inconsequential npcs was the best skyrim mod I ever installed

Atheism 2.0 - Atheism using Religions perks.

it's not just the politicians. But enough climate change -- fine. Here's a study that concluded hurricanes are deadly because of sexism. There's been science done to quantify the quality of artwork using pigeons. Really -- science is perfectly capable of being just as assheaded and pointless as any religious exercise. We need to collectively stop treating 'SCIENCE' as some sacred practice of holy men, because it isn't.

Alright, I think I understand... Um, give me an example of some of these contradictory attitudes, and I'll see what I can do to (perhaps) defend them.

Global Warming is the obvious choice. Actual billions of dollars spent squashing actual documentation to the contrary. The heathens are marked and shamed. Point being, this sort of behavior is considered totally okay as long as it's coming from 'the scientific community' instead of 'the church.' This is exactly the climate that produced the spanish inquisition, but we're just pretending that it's going to turn out swell this time around. Silly.

(note that in this example I'm pointing to the actual scientific community, but more generally I'm talking about the 'scientific community' that you have to put in quotation marks)

:/ This helps nothing, mdk. If it's a joke, it's not funny, and otherwise, mocking the scientific community for skepticism is like mocking Vatican city for being populated by Catholics. The interplay between experimentation and skepticism science, and without it we'd believe even more stupid shit about ourselves and the universe than we do now.

I'm mocking the 'scientific community' for its flagrantly contradictory attitudes in the debate. Seems I've struck a chord.

I get so tired of this trite old "RELIGION HATEZ QUESTIONS!" mantraBecause it simply isn't true. "Who/what/where/when" questions are asked all the time in my church and readily answered. Why/how questions are answered to a point, but just like everything else it eventually goes to "I don't know/that is how it is".Talk to any 5 year old for long enough and you will end up saying those things under an unending torrent of "Why"s"Why was I named Timmy?""Because we named you Timothy""Why?""It was your Grandfather's name""Why?""Because his parents named him Timothy""Why?"And so on, and so on.

how dare you challenge the assumption?! It's almost like you're questioning perceptions, and we can't have that in an enlightened scientific community. I brand you a heretic and categorically reject your argument.

If any Religious person is reading this, please answer this question:
If you found out your God didn't exist, would you now go out raping and murdering people? If not then you just proved that you don't need Religion to be a moral human being.

Of course (waiting for someone to show up and shout about how you're more likely to rape and murder because god said so -- that'll be my cue to leave). Since this thread exists and it's sort of an opportune moment, and it's been bugging me..... What does atheism do to serve the betterment of immoral people? What I mean is, if you go to a catholic confession, the priest listens to what you did and gives you advice (I think, never been), and then tells you how to pay your penance and be forgiven. If you drink too much, the church is capable of saying 'Hey buddy, you're drinking too much and we're going to help you get over that.' The depiction presented in the media, at least, is that when the atheist hero encounters a piece of shit, you're supposed to shrug and say 'Well he's a piece of shit,' and leave him to his devices. I don't actually know the answer to the question and I'm not trying to lead you anywhere with it, just asking..... What does atheism do for the piece of shit? I know it's super for decent people.

I'm only getting the bundle only cause I don't have a ps4 yet.I understand. To me though, it looks like Borderlands with great graphics.

It's got cool features to it that interest me. But mostly, yeah, I loved the living shit out of borderlands, so if it's just more of the same then I call it a win.

For those of you wanting Wii Us, I can say I am greatly enjoying mine and it's a fun little system. The gamepad isn't nearly as obnoxious/ gimmicky as I feared.

I'm ultimately going to get one used or whatever, I think. Cuz Wii was fun as shit. But my brother got PS4 at launch so I'm kinda stuck for now.

I think I might just get it so I can mariokart
