I feel nothing but pity for that lady. Maybe it's because she's not in my country!
I don't feel very differently about any religious people. All just sort of get a sad pity when we're on the topic.

Sigh...
Orpheus, a person who is always talking about God is always THINKING about God. Which if sometime during your life you'd actually read the bible, you'd know that that is what a good Christian is supposed to do. The only thing that is for CERTAIN here, is that people (YOU) who are constantly trying to make others feel inferior are very small, deeply flawed people who have to try to build up their own self-esteem on top of insulting others.
Seventh-Monkey - Why a "sad pity" for people who are trying to love everyone and be good people, and you don't feel a "sad pity" for men who want to stick thier penises up other men's butts? (seriously, there's POOP in those butts...)
Yeah, I feel sorry for that lady, because she is obviously mentally unstable. But the ratio of mentally unstable Christians and mentally unstable atheists is probably just the same. I mean, heck, look at the amount of mentally unstable Muslims we got? Dang, son!

luke, why does everybody have to start BASHING it to begin with? I'm fine not talking about it.
The reason I put that in there about God is because i know SOMEONE was gonna ask "Then where's God in that little theory of yours, BibleBoy?" so i volunteered the info first. Orpheus is the one that chose to be an arsehole about the whole thing.
I'm done talking about it, Anyway, what do you think about my theory?

I've said this before, I'll say it again. The whole reason of our existance is to become self-sufficiant. Once we can survive without expending resources more than we can create them, and stay alive without doing anything physical, we have no other purpose except for entertainment. Which brings me to this, we live for sex.

In any case, magnetic levitation is certainly possible (google for Shanghai Maglev).

Yes, but not by using the earth's field as the base. Our body's fields aren't strong enough for levitaion ANYWHERE, much less with earth's.

Here's my theory:This is another theory that I don't quite belive in. Other things can exist without anything knowing about them, why not us? In your carpet there are thousands of itty bitty dust particles, but because you do not account for every single one then they do not exist?
The only reason we exist is because we and at least one other person knows we exist. If you stopped being self-aware and others did not know you exist, you would cease to be altogether.
It's like that old thing that says "If a tree fals in a forest with nobody around to hear, does it make a sound?" The answer is no. because without something to RECIEVE the sound, it is just compressed waves of air.
Similarly we are just some type of energy, until others or ourselves receive this energy. Without something there to recieve it, we are just that energy. Man was only created because God was aware of us.
But, you may think, humans are extremely diffrent from dust particles. After all we can think and have fellings. However, when you get right down to it, humans are made up of the same thing that wood or paper or even electricity are. Physical space as we see, feel, smell, and hear it is only electricle pulses running through our brains telling us what is going on. We arn't "absorbing energy" we are only perciving what is around us.

Rather than intimidating him, this post will probably make him laugh. You think that any reputation you have earned in other Internet sites has an effect here. My sincere advice is to abandon that idea, seriously.

Well, no. Actually, I'm just not even gonna dignify most of your tripe with a response. Notice how I said i was DONE with religion in this thread.
Anyways, don't mistake my meaning. Its not my reputation you need concern yourself with. Its me.
My advice, let it go because I won't be as forgiving the next time you mess up. Up till now, I have been benign. Next time, will be different.What are you now, some sort of terrorist? What the heck are you going to do? call me a "n00b?" Truth is, you are just like a terrorist in a lot of ways. You like to threaten people, you think that your way is the only way. The only way you're not like a terrorist is that people aren't really afraid of you...

No, I stand by my first opinion of you being a egocentric, arrogant fool, who counts himself to be the pinnacle of mankind and seems to think he contains some knowledge above and beyond that of anyone else.
And I very much doubt I shall ever regret my view of you. Mainly because of my post above yours. What are you going to do? You make threats and try to put others down by saying their opinions are worthless, but you have nothing to back it up. I am waiting to see what you could possibly do to me Orpheus...
Though I am betting on you saying something along the lines of 'You're not even worth the response' which is basically.. the cowards way out, but what more could I expect from you.

Hey, alot of things Nickel has said on this site I dont agree with at all. But that doesnt mean you can say he's corrupting the site, or anything along those lines.
Orpheus: Your a very good mapper. Ive seen your work here. Unfortunately your mapping doesnt reflect your personality. Your treating (and talking) to people here like a king speaks to peasants.
There is really nothing I can do but ask you to stop. Thats about it. So please, stop acting this way.

I doubt it, you give to much credit where its not earned.Treu, but not quite so my dear Orpheus.
everytime someone mentions the slightest thing about religion he completely jumps on it, offcourse others keep the flame going to, but you cant disagree that he has a big share in it.
As to Nickel. I defend him almost as often as I bitch slap him. . Both figuratively and anything else.Do we really need to know;)

You must find a way to solve that problem then. Maybe some people here won't listen to you unless you change your tone a bit. (If you actually want people to listen to you, that is)
The best teachers are not the ones who know most, but the ones who can transmit their knowledge best.
@Xyos: He is indeed a good mapper. He even suspects I am at the level he was 2 years ago. I must be in the right track then!

Wow, nice one Orpheus..I guess.
I am still waiting for you to tell us all what power is it exactly that you seem to think you have over anyone?
You are just avoiding the question again and again, and as predicted, would run away when confronted.
And there was me thinking you had crossed "swords" with many men before and never backed down. Though maybe I misunderstood and the 'swords' bit was actually an innuendo..?

And I am not confused at all. You seemed to think you had some power over people over the internet, I am simply wondering what it could be. Is that so hard to answer...or could it possibly be that you have nothing but a harsh tone of voice and a ego large enough it require it's own zip code

My apologies about that.
Don't worry, I can make myself better if I want to without help.
I would just need more time and less university projects getting in the way.
It's not that hard to see after all: If I made Vilcabamba in 5 days, Kaufmann House in 1 month, what would my maps look like if I made them in months or years like your Snarkpit friends? Good question huh?
By the way, in what areas would you help me in? Weapon placement, area_portals? I doubt you or your buddies are in a position to talk to me about architecture, and I don't mean to sound rude. If your eyes see "floating_volume" as very badly constructed, I should doubt your opinion, no offence!

4 years, and only up to "dm_punishment" is another way to look at it. I never said anything like I was the best mapper out there. But I know very well that my maps could be among the best if I invested at least half the time those "talented and gifted mappers" spend on them.
I would understand it if you think "False_accretion" is substandard. But "dm_7hour" (done in 20 days by the way) isn't that bad. Take a stroll around the map and think about it.
It will take you some time to understand that some people map for fun, and not every single one of their maps is meant for an international mapping prize.

Of course 7hour can be improved...It's my third source map after all.
I just mean that if I could invest more time on a single map (which I can't because of my studies) it would turn out be a good one. That's all I'm saying. My maps don't really need someone's advice to become better as much as they need more planning, dedication and polish.
In the end, what will separate me from being a great mapper is that I also want to be a good architect.

OI! I'm not out to offend anyone or insult anyone. It seems that most times I'm on the defensive, when people post videos like that crazy lady. I'm perfectly happy leaving it all alone.
But when someone claims to be open-minded and then tells me that ALL people who beleive a certain way (always contrary to thier own beliefs) are stupid and insecure. Or that that certain way of believing should be taken away altogether, that is offensive and very hypocritical. These people claim to be so open and accept everyone, but they keep saying that a way of life for Millions of people that are different than them should be abolished strictly on principle. What's the difference between persecuting millions of Jews and persecuting Millions of Christians? How can you "abolish" or "phase out" (it doesn't matter what euphemism you use) a way of life without "abolishing" the PEOPLE? And THAT, comrades, is what Hitler sought to do.
