Actually no they aren't alot of the weapons and vehicles aren't in the Sandbox. If you try to spawn them they dont spawn, the nukes were already in the beta anyway so nothing new.ElectricNZ

I didn't get to play the beta so im sure many haven't seen this before. The ice gun, tac launcher, nuke tanks and helicopters are in there. Fun stuff. Seems to be every weapon including mines and c4 charges...

I kind of like a similar theory supporting intelligent design (likely through some sort of God) (it bugs me i can't think of which philosopher first proposed it. IT goes like this, if you were walking down a trail and came across a watch (and had no knowledge of what a watch was) you would assume because of its complexity that the watch must have been designed by someone intelligent you would not assume the watch simply came to be on its own. One premise is that with an increasing complexity you require a more intelligent designer. The human eye is so complex it must have a designer it would not simply come to be. The next level is that the universe is such a large, complex 'thing' it must have an extremely intelligent designer, it is irrational to think something like the universe, the human eye, or a watch could simply come to exist on its own, hence an intelligent designer must exist, many would eplain this designer as God. Obviously this is a very condensed version of the actual argument but i remember discussing it years ago in my first year of Univeristy in an intro Phil class and i have always liked this argument. Roland1987

The problem with that analogy is that God is more complex than both us and the Universe, meaning that God would need a designer even greater than himself. Such logic defeats itself.

Another problem is the fact that the watch wasn't just created in one sitting. The creation of the modern watch was derrived from previous atempts at dictating time including ancient sundials which used the shadow of sunlight. It was a slow progression that led to the current watch...an evolution of ideas. Notice the word evolution at the end here.... :)

So how can God create something perfect, such as the human body, without having to learn what perfection is in the first place? It's like creation an atomic bomb without understaing atomic theory beforehand. Such logic defeats itself...again.

Either God doesn't exist or He exists but doesn't interact with the Universe(and us) anymore. These are the only two conlusions that make sense to me.

[QUOTE="muscleserge"][QUOTE="Meh___Guy"][QUOTE="dog64"]

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. (Isaiah 45:7)

And there are many of these. For a big list of these, go . 

Meh___Guy

Did God just say he created evil?

He supposedly created everything.

Wow, never thought I would see that verse (uh oh the sirens are blaring outside =()

lol...i'd never though that verse would even exist...well it's official now. Jehova did create evil...or at least allows it for his own amusement.

Well it's better to question and argue than to just accept something. Maybe that's why. My intention of warping the mainstream role of the devil is to more logically point out the nonobjective and sometimes flat out weird actions in the bible. I don't believe any of the supernatural aspects of it are true, but just saying that won't make a difference. Then again, the story might be intended to not be understood.CptJSparrow

Thats my problem with the bible too, in fact anything to do with religion at all. I have yet to witness any of these supernatural forces. I'm talking demons, ghosts, spirits, magic, voodoo...too far fetched to me. Mostly everything in our universe so far has some natural, logical explanation for it's occurrence. Basicly if i even witness one single thing that completely shaters what i would call logical, based on everything i have experieced so far then my my faith would finally exist. I just can't believe it. It doesn't come close to making sense to me. 

If God, along with all those supernatural beings, can bend the laws of physics so easily, then why make them in the first place? Basicly my reasoning is this...the world isn't magical enough. If anyone can attain these incredible powers of parting seas, waking the dead, levitating...then why aren't we seeing these events happening more often? Especially since the bible points to the end times as being chaotic.

[QUOTE="Artosa"]im bisexual, i didnt decide to be bisexual, it just happens to some in their teens, maybe its chemicals in your body or something. but i dont know anyone who just decided to be gaySilver_Dragon17

Apparently, bisexuality is what you are when you choose your sexuality. . . .so everybody is, to an extent, bisexual I guess. . .

Anyway, not all choices are conscious ones. Some choices are made sub-consciously, and homosexuality could very well be one of those choices. And the person whomakes that sub-concious choice would not believe he had made the choice, because he was unaware of making it.

NO...the word bisexual in dictionary.com is defined by:

noun: sexually responsive to both sexes; ambisexual

a person who is sexually attracted to both sexes

The only choice to make is to either choose to date a male or a female. Both if you are crazy enough, but being attracted to both equaly is definitely not a choice.

[QUOTE="MrDullard"]Anyone who thinks an individual can determine his or her sexual orientation interally is retarded.MagnumPI

If you mean sexual preference I agree. Sexual preference is NOT chosen it's compelling.

As mentioned there are many people who are gay but are affraid to be gay because it's not respected. So they try to live the life of a straight person, but that only lasts for so long. They are doing what they feel they are supposed to do, not what is in their nature.

It may be a disorder or a syndrome, but it's not hurting anyone. The thought of two men kissing and rubbing their fingers through each other's butt hair is disgusting to most, but it doesn't hurt anyone. As long as we don't have to see it it's oblivious to us.

DP is as gay as I will ever get, but I aint gonna funky with another man nor other men.

 

Lol...TMI my friend...TMI! j/k

Agree with your post about fears of rejection...wether it be your friends, family, or even co-workers...it will always be in the back of your mind consuming you till the day you pick up the courage to let it out.

[QUOTE="dhyce"]

[QUOTE="flavort"]

You can choose to like it. I have chosen not to like tomatoes because I dont like them, but ate something that with a tomato in it and liked it enough to eat it again. I really dont like them but can eat them. I dont think all people are like that but it is possible the majority is.flavort

You cannot possibly compare tomatoes to sexual attraction.

I dont think it is the same thing of course but I will reword it according to the topic since the comparison does not work for you. It is possible to repeat a action and end up liking it when once you did not, like sex that you usually take part in. They try it and do not like it, but try it again and think differently about it and after a few more times they enjoy it. I think it is possible for the majority of people to to go through this process. Is that good!

Why would a heterosexual male like myslef want to try gay sex? I would only be curious if i had the attraction to the same sex already...basicly a full blown erection. I have seen butt naked men in porn a million times and i have never gotten sexualy aroused by them. Unless there is a hot girl in it, one my brain has calculated as close to perfection to me as possible, i get no excitement at all. Are you trying to tell me that if i try hard enough Brad Pit can give me an erection? talk about ridiculous...

Any logical person would presume it to be a biological factor. I'm pretty sure you can agree with this reply Dhyce:

"i knew i was gay since i started college, but i didn't have enough guts to tell my parents until i met someone who changed (and saved) my life and loved me, truly loved me for me. and this person happened to be a woman. a beautiful woman who is kind, loving, and the most amazing person i have met in my life thus far. for years, i would look at myself in the mirror and nearly have panic attacks for fear of what i knew i had to do (tell my parents). the whole time i tried to lead the life of a straight individual. it was very hard simply because everyone i knew thought i had myself very together. i was working hard in college to get my bachelor's degree in graphic design at one of the top 10 design colleges in the country. but internally, everyday, i would battle my internal self.

i would find myself many nights crying myself to sleep from the stress of everything. so if it was a choice -- why would someone choose to put themselves through this. some people i have known have lost friends, their jobs, their family, etc. because of who they are and who they were meant to be...[ ]"

My sister came out to me this year, telling me that she's bisexual. She told me she had feelings for both sexes since middle school, though she tends to find herself more aroused by females than males. She cried for many nights worrying about the punishment of death (our parents are Jehova's Witness). She was afraid of what i would say but she felt i would be the only one to understand since im the science geek of the house...lol the irony of all this.

Humans do not "create" earthquakes or tsunamis. But neither does God. As I said in my quoted post, God is not in control of the current world we are living in. It is in Satans control, because the world is in the power of the evil one (1 John 5:19, NIV) Earthquakes are one of the signs of the last days as mentioned in Revelation. Earthquakes have become more numerous as years have passed, so this goes together with what Revelation says. Now, we all know how earthquakes happen. But what really causes the plates to move, causing the quake? Did God make them like that? He couldn't have, because if he did that would be going against the bible. However, God did cause a violent earthquake to happen after Jesus died, probably to show his anger toward the people who impaled Jesus. But, to my knowledge, that is the only one earthquake he intended to happen. The others happen because, well, the earth is not perfect like it was. All of the chemicals and poison being put into the atmosphere affects the weather, not to mention the ozone layer. Some scientists agree that global warming, which many say is caused by man, makes hurricanes stronger. So who knows what other effects are causing the numerous earthquakes and tsunamis?

dog64

How can you this to be true when we haven't had the technology to know this till recently? Who knows how many killer quakes have occurred in the past. 

God did make Earth like this. The plates move because of Earth's molten core. No molten core, no magma, no quakes....it's a natural occurrence of this type of planet. It's definitely God's fault for making them so. 

Tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes...again there's nothing humans can do to instigate them. They are beyond our control.
