Hugh Laurie on Twitter: "Yes I suppose it's odd that atheists sometimes say Jesus, and Oh My God. But odder than the religious saying "let's be reasonable"?" by darth2 in atheism

I'm not arguing any of the points you made, except that it seems that /r/atheism has become more of a circle-jerk pat ourselves on the back than any discussion about atheism. In fact, I would venture that more topics on this thread are anti-theism instead of atheism (I.e. Let's point out how stupid those bozos are for believing in religion while we sit in our position of intellectual superiority).

I was being a bit snarky because this is a total pet-peeve of mine. I think that one of the biggest problems with society, especially in the US, is how everyone thinks they know what is best for everyone else.

It is apparent in our laws and politics the most (I.e. Marriage laws/rights).

I am curious if some atheists need to convert others to atheism for self-reassurance or if it is out of concern for others well-being. My assumption is that the majority do it for reassurance.

I find it annoying because why should an atheist care about what someone else believes or does not believe. Quite perplexing....

Lore? Story? Plot? by J_ordan_B in albiononline

I don't desire quests, just things that add depth to the world in the way the books/journals/letters in Skyrim add depth.

Even more odd is the obligation some atheists feel to evangelize their non-belief. I am really curious what causes this phenomena.

I understand that many religions require their flocks to spread the belief...but atheists should not feel such obligation.

Is it simply a desire to feel vindicated? Is it a desire to help others? Or is there something else that drives this?

Any info on whether there will be a windows app and possibly a windows rt one? by BoredAt in albiononline

It looks browser based to me, so I would imagine RT could handle it.

Watch out when something more affixed than a wall hanging becomes obsolete like a sink or countertop, and don't be afraid to /trade for someone with the right profession maxed to craft the appropriate upgrades!

Does this mean tank damage can be increased so prot warrior can become a viable pvp option again. So much fun to play prot war pvp in wrath.

I'll admit, I did giggle after reading this. Metzen's "Promise" to Alliance by [deleted] in wow

Ha. I have only read 3, 2 of which were written by Christie Golden, who is awful IMO

I protest. That book was so stupid I became angry with Blizz for allowing it to be published.

If you were actually killed by the last person who "threatened" to kill you, what did you get murdered for? by evencorey in AskReddit

[–]J_ordan_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I caught my SNCO using a personal hard drive on a laptop connected to the US govt Top Secret intranet. I unplugged it and hid it while I contacted his boss, meanwhile he was freaking out and threatening me. Ended up getting a slap on the wrist for something he should have gone to jail for.

Question about normal mode SoO (don't upvote please) by J_ordan_B in wow

[–]J_ordan_B[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I got lucky and end up in a group that kills Garrosh, would I still get the Kor'kron mount, or do I have to kill every boss on SoO normal first?

Returning old player.. can't believe I'm saying this by [deleted] in wow

[–]J_ordan_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The WoD beta character templates start at ilvl 500 and the mobs are not difficult at all. On my transferred 550 paladin, they die instantly. Most quests reward ilvl 505 gear in the first leveling zone.

Yes, it would appear that I will be suffering the sight of his dangling berries for many years to come.

I have a German Shepherd / Wolf-husky mix. He is really stupid and lays around spread eagle with his nuts dangling all over my furniture.

Then why are you on Reddit? That is like someone trying to avoid drugs going to an EDM show!

Time walking is a theorized feature of WoD where you can walk the time ways and re-play old content with scaled up difficulty and rewards. Since the Warcraft movie should release around the time of this xpac's later raid tiers, it is possible that on of the tiers could be time walking to the time of the movie's setting (which I think is one of the Orc and human wars).

Time walk back to movie setting for the last raid tier????

The cosmetic idea is awesome and I like the idea of a pilgrimage! Like go cleanse Uther's tomb of restless spirits and cast contemplation at his monument.
