I'm curious about the Games Club.I remember seeing a Plaguebearer in one of your vids,is it a tabletop game club?

Warhammer 40K mostly. Also the occasional Blood Bowl match, and we have been known to feature Necromunda and Battle Fleet Gothic on occasion.

Yeah, I'm a geek ;o)

[ogami72]

I play 40K!!! Have you tried Apocalypse game yet?

[CapnOrdinary]

Haven't convinced anyone to play it with me yet. But the book is right here next to me ;o) I also haven't begun assembly on my baneblade yet, I've promised myself I'd finish of my marines before I got myself involved in anything else. Just 130 foot sloggers and 4 tanks to go :P

If I believed most preachers were fakes--that they didn't believe what they taught--I would agree with you. Since I think most preachers believe what they teach, I can't help but feel this video is a little bigoted.

Yeah, I'm an atheist too, but I think preachers are fucking morons, not intentionally evil.

[CapnOrdinary]

I believe that most of them have convinced themselves that they actually believe what they preach. I also believe that most of them subconsciously, if not necessarily consciously, are very much uncertain. Or maybe I just hope so.

But you're right, it is a little bigoted, because I generalize a lot here. But as the graphics designers at my job like to say: Creativity can't be forced ;o)

There is no such thing as "evil". It's notion is a product of theism.

Chew on it.

Rationalism > theism.

[blayzebright]

I feel pity for many religious people who honestly do not understand, but I have a harder time doing so for religious leaders who are taking advantage of all these people, ruling them with fear and then sending them out to do their dirty work.

[Hooya2]

Too many mixed metaphors XD

My baneblade is awesome! Seriously, the best part of apocalypse is throwing the 10" template around!

[ogami72]

I just finished my line breaker squad,mostly as a diversion from painting the Forge World Greater Deamon of Nurgle,I've put off buying a baneblade(for a plaguereaper conversion)untill I finish all my painting projects.

I would love to see more on this.

Did you know that a study was done that suggests politicians (and be extention, possibly preachers) derive pleasure from denying things that contridict their "beleifs"? Politicians were given a brain scan while certain questions were asked that required politicians to deny the truth, the center of the brain that controls pleasure increased in activity. I don't remember where I read this though. I'll bet the same thing happens with preachers.
