Haha I like your George Carlin quote. I'm following you now. You should check my blog too

http://ravenis.blogspot.com/

Yeah, I played jund and went 4-0 at my pre-release. My deck has stuff like putrid leech(the 2 mana 2/2 that you pay life to make a 4/4) and the hackblades. The aggro possibilities of alara reborn are sick.

I lol'd

can't wait to see what you've got

This blog was almost poetic genius. Almost.

lmao.. is that your colbert vid?

We'll see how I feel tomorrow if you want real reassurance.

I'm pretty sure this will be my last, last rant though.

This is my last rant

I'm going to try to be polite and explain some of the things that you may have misunderstood.

1 & 2) I do have problems with both religion and ignorance even though I mainly address religion in this comment. I do also believe there is a direct correlation between ignorance and faith, which is part of religion. Faith demands that you believe something unquestionably which requires you to be ignorant to some extent depending on your religion and how true you actually are to it. Which leads me to my next point..

3) I don't have a strong belief in my rightness. As an Athiest I do not believe in any god but as a rational human being I don't believe anyone can be anyone can actually declare there is or isn't a good. All in all, I'm a rational Athiest or what I like to call an Agnostic.

This isn't to say I think it is wrong to have faith in something. I just believe it is wrong to impose your own beliefs onto ANYONE because no one actually knows. That is what faith is about: Believing.

4) I'm quite confused as to why you think I'm lumping all theists into the same group. What I basically said was that many people who are religious tend to adapt their religion to science and other things. In fact, almost all Christians have adopted science yet still have faith. There is no such thing as partial faith. As soon as someone tries to change the minutest detail about their religion their faith doesn't actually exist anymore. This person may still believe there is a god and may also at the same time believe in science, but if he or she were to call them self a member of said religion that person would be lying. This person has now adopted a personal belief system, which is the opposite of a religion. I don't think this is wrong either. I just think it is wrong to have a personal belief system and to try to pass it off as some preexisting religion.

5) Actually I was kind of making fun of you with this one. This had nothing to do with her IQ jumping or even her faith actually.

In retrospect I don't think my problem is actually with religion itself but with organized religion and people who are hypocrites about their religion; especially those who try to preach it as well.

Thanks for making a blog about me, but you're still wrong.

1) MY problem is with religion AND ignorance.

2) Ignorance is inherent if one is going to have faith in their religion.

3) "The problem too comes with atheist and people that 'believe only in science." Very few athiests follow such a strong belief and are actually agnostics. And yes, you can be both.

4) "One of the key problems is this idea that that 'religion' and 'science' are opposites or something." Well... they kind of are opposites. Science is malleable while true religion is not. I think the problem here is that you believe deism counts as a religion, whereas it is exactly the opposite. You need to understand that truly following a religion does require faith and that many people are hypocrites about their religion. This is something I personally cannot stand because how can you say you are only going to believe certain things written in a book that cannot be supported by logic or evidence and still expect that particular religion to hold its own end of the bargain. As much as I hate ignorant, self-righteous homophobes I have to admit I respect the Westboro Baptist Church a hell of a lot more then I'd ever respect anyone who tries to be a hypocrite about their own religion.

5) "The problem with ignorant people is that they are ignorant" You don't happen to be related to Sarah Palin do you?

P.S. I was wondering if you were open to helping me write this fiction I've been working on lately. You seem like the right guy for the job. You don't happen to be one of the authors of the Bible, now do you?

Are you suggesting a follow up block to Academy?

BTW, I was wondering if you were interested in working on a futuristic(non Star Wars or any preexisting theme) set with me? I've got some really cool ideas but I don't have the time to do it alone.

I've had that happen before.. If it's really bothering you, you can rub it with your tongue and eventually it will fall off..

Wow.. This is a really good way to keep planeswalkers interesting. I'm really impressed!

I really hope so because most of these rares are poop. I really feel like WoTC is pushing commons/uncommons in this set. The avg value of a pack is going to be worth that of a planar chaos pack, which means it's going to be hard to find people willing to spend their money drafting this crappy set. The worst part is that it looks like white weenie is going to be dominating the block scene yet again..

Well, then this better be a pretty fun draft format... Otherwise, I don't see WoTC making a whole lot off this set. The rares are incredibly mediocre and really make me regret purchasing the set..
