• A reply on Conversation: is more than one God possible?

  May 24 2011: "do you think An omnipotent God needs any discuss with any one?
  discuss is for when you have some limitation. but An omnipotent never have any limitation."
  
  "if a God is really An omnipotent, it can easily destroy other competitor with no discuss. piece of cake."
  
  You can't make these statements without a reasonable doubt as it's hard to comprehended omnipotence. I mean sure it makes sense thinking omnipotent means all powerful/capable of anything. But consider if there are multiple gods and they're all omnipotent, God A "destroys" God B but God B being also omnipotent simply travels back in time and stops it, or simply is undestroyable. It would be an effort in futility.
  
  Though I suppose that would kind of mean they weren't omnipotent.

  A reply on Conversation: Can we live without a religion?

  May 23 2011: For some strange reason, many people keep getting the idea that atheism is itself some sort of religion. It's an assertion which I keep hearing in newsgroups, in private email, and in this site's chat room. Maybe it is because these people are so caught up in their own religious beliefs that they cannot imagine any person living without religion of some sort. Maybe it is due to some persistent misunderstanding of what atheism is. And maybe they just don't care that what they are saying really doesn't make any sense.
  
  ATHEISM IS NOT A RELIGION.

• A reply on Conversation: Should black and white movies be colored?

  May 22 2011: Clerks is black and white? I swear it was in colour.. Might be two movies by the same name.
  
  I definitely see how black and white can be used for artistic reasons.

  Religion: The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods.

  A comment on Conversation: Should black and white movies be colored?

  May 21 2011: I don't see any point in doing something in an inferior manner when there are better ways available.
