The SOPA Act

Call yourself what you want, but its not a church. Its a philosophical position. Its just as much a church as nihilism is a church. If you want to base your life on the disorder of the universe thats fine, but you will regret it for eternity my brother.

Honestly, this is what you sound like:

"My invisible friend is way more real than your invisible friend. Mine will burn you in a pit for eternity if you don't agree with me."


Worshipping the christian god is like worshipping the god of destruction. No single religious entity has killed more people, caused more destruction, murdered more innocents than the Abrahamic God (if you believe what the bible says anyways, which I do not). He even literally murdered every single person on earth, minus one guy and his wife. It's a death cult. Therefore it should be no surprise that the belief in this religion has itself caused countless millions of real deaths in the defense of this Christian God. The Holocaust is like something god does for dessert (oh and he allowed that one too, against his chosen people none the less! Rofl. But book of Job, amirite?).

I don't mean to be offensive, but arguing about which made up fantasy is more legit is pointless. I defy you to prove that my beliefe in a spaghetti monster is any less legit than yours. Name one single thing that gives more credence to the existence of your god over mine?


Edit:

If he were real, I would refuse to bow to a god who must maintain power by threatening eternal damnation and indefinite torture for not believing in him, when he himself is not man enough to come make himself known.
These are some words to live by right here:

So why is it that ___INSERT ANY ISSUE HERE___are so often decided by the least qualified members of the AARP that we could find, with little to no input from people who actually know what they're talking about?

Ftfy.

I thought maybe they were already screening your internet, sgreger. Was wondering where you'd been.

After a series of one-sided hearings, luxury goods maker Chanel has won recent court orders against hundreds of websites trafficking in counterfeit luxury goods. A federal judge in Nevada has agreed that Chanel can seize the domain names in question and transfer them all to US-based registrar GoDaddy. The judge also ordered "all Internet search engines" and "all social media websites"—explicitly naming Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Bing, Yahoo, and Google—to "de-index" the domain names and to remove them from any search results.

Seriously, a new domain name is like 9.95... yeah hit em where it hurts. They will buy new cheap domains and use spam bombs to get customers as always. The domains are irrelevant in this matter. But seriously how can a US judge do anything about a domain hosted in China or some other country? Seems odd.

The US is only concerned with this nebulous notion called international law when it might be of benefit to them. The government has a long history of deciding it wants to do something that it really has no authority to, and doing it anyway. For quite some time, we've been seizing US-registered domains over piracy allegations, amongst other things, regardless of whether they were actually hosted in the US. Foreign-hosted websites have had their domain seized even when they were completely legal under the laws of their country.

lx, I saw that article as well, and while it might be a Pyrrhic victory, I'd rather have that than see this be officially sanctioned. That way you can still hold out some hope that some miracle will occur and this sort of ridiculous behaviour will be brought to an end. I mean, the "evidence" in that case was a joke. That judge may as well wear robes that say "I've been bought by the corporation you're trying to defend against. Good luck."
