History

I am the 15th most primitive nation here out of 129.

Good analogy.

Einsiev, please refrain from continuing to bring up religion. If you haven't noticed we have many atheists and homosexuals. This is perhaps not the best environment in which to plug your religion.

Being Christian does not equal being homophobic. Jesus said love thy neighbour, and I have several gay friends, some of whom are Christian as well.

Worthy paragraphs Pev. A worthy argument and articles. You've swayed my opinion a bit, I'll admit I may have been wrong after all.

Einsiev wrote:Your the one who started the fight, talking smack about my religion. You'll see one day. Then you'll wish you were right with God.

You're***

"Talking smack" haha all I did was talk about 3 things in christianity how is that talking smack?

1. There is 0 chance that a handful of people herded all land animals on 1 boat. That is impossible. How did they catch all insects? Please let me know? Because all animals on earth are decedents of the ones that were on the ark, right? That's what it says in the bible? Noah's Ark is one of the goofiest stories in the entire bible. It is actually so unlikely I laugh every time I see. Earth is pretty bad nowadays. Why wouldn't this all powerful "God" flood it again? Because he can't. Because he is phony.

2. An even goofier story is Moses separating, oh yes, AN OCEAN. Yeah right. That's just soÂ… *sigh*

3. God has killed more people in the bible than Satan has between the magical flood killing everyone and, one of his greatest triumphs over sin definitely, killing children by sending bears after them! All because they made fun of a guy for balding I think! Why love this God at all. Why love someone that kills and pillages whenever he wishes, oh but only in the BC times he doesn't seem to be doing much nowadays. You'd think with our cameras and other tech he would reveal a defined sign of his existence to prove everyone wrong? But he doesn't. Because he can't. Because he isn't real. Need I say anymore?

I leave with a question:

Is sin a byproduct of free will?

If you're not religious, is sin even a thing?

This is what I was referencing.

Muh Roads wrote:If you're not religious, is sin even a thing?

Not to me, but just answer the question you'll see where I'm going with it later.

RRRG, you are in the company of many Christians, please be a bit more respectful. Not saying you can't say anything, just be respectful.

Humph I understand your need to feel good about your religion so I'll tone it down a bit but I am just saying what I would say right to your face.

I'm an atheist. If you would classify it that way, I just don't see much reason for it still to be around. It was created by primitive early Earth inhabitants to explain the unexplainable and presently it is a way to explain the after life and a way to live well. I'm not against it, Christianity promotes good will and kindness world wide, I couldn't be against something like that. It just never made much sense to me, and me personally.

I always assumed you were religious? Huh.

While I can't deny the good that religion does, I don't think it's worth it. All it does is fill people's heads with lies and false hope. It's just a way for the church to control people. By promising things they cannot prove. It requires hope to be religious. I just don't see an all powerful God not revealing himself to the world. He is a selfish God, the bible says, so this isn't beyond his power. It just doesn't make any sense to place all your cards in one, probably nonexistent, pile that wants a good chunk of your income and for you to devote hours of your life to something useless.

In my opinion, you have to experience God to truly believe in Him. But nevertheless I have my doubts about some parts of the Bible, and I don't like some of its more anti-individualist leanings.

Then I guess I haven't.

Ronald Reagan And Rick Grimes wrote:Not to me, but just answer the question you'll see where I'm going with it later.

Well, I don't think so. Thinking about someone in a manner not acceptable to god is a sin, you can take away free will, but not a persons thoughts.

I'm agnostic.

Humpheria wrote:Then I guess I haven't.

No worries, you're not alone. I consider a few things in my life to be miraculous, but merely by coincidence.

The New United States wrote:Hardcore atheism takes just as much faith as religion, methinks. The only difference is that atheism promotes no virtues, only disbelief and false-senses of superiority.

Agreed. Agnosticism, apatheism, and by-the-book atheism I can understand; not knowing, not caring about, or not believing in a deity makes sense for people to whom no deity has been revealed. But antitheism - hardcore atheism, as you say - promotes the vices you speak of, and is the faith of no faith. While there may be some merit to it that we are overlooking, regardless of whether or not that merit exists I, personally, will still not understand it.

Pevvania wrote:[B]Coolidge was not a racist[/B]

-snip-

He's one of my favorite Presidents, indeed. Liberosia's, too, if I'm not mistaken.

Pevvania wrote:[B]Hoover was not a laissez-faire President[/B]

-snip-

I'm, frankly, amazed that liberals love to bash Hoover for starting the Great Depression; what they have to say is entirely true, and they should know that, considering their economic methods are the reason why.

Pevvania wrote:"Tax cuts for the rich" is an erroneous term that I detest very much. -snip-

It's the left-wing way to say they hate tax cuts without ticking off moderates. Unfortunately their fallacy appears to have worked in many cases.

Hallo Island wrote:I don't hate your religion, I hate it's prejudice.

Coming from someone of the same religion, I agree entirely. Ironically, it's quite likely that God does too.

I'm running out of posts to respond positively to.

See ya'll Friday.

I am Catholic I just don't talk about it unless it's brought up.

I would only talk about it more if I moved back to the coalition of Catholic states which I don't think I will do that anytime soon.

The Amarican Empire wrote:I am Catholic I just don't talk about it unless it's brought up.

I attend a Church of Christ, and I'm going Greek Orthodox once I move to Jordan (31 August). I don't particularly enjoy discussing religion with friends, either. It's the fastest way to make them hate you.

Anyone in the military that knows for certain that you'll be on later tonight around minor update, please telegram me.

Pretty quiet day.

The Amarican Empire wrote:I am Catholic

I am a Lutheran.

I have a slightly important announcement. In two weeks, I will seek re-election for the Board Seat Two. However, I will not seek re-election for Board Chairman. I have been in that position for seven terms and it is unfair and frankly not right for anyone to hold such a powerful position for so long. I will faithfully carry out my duties until June 1st. I will remain the Vice President and I hope to continue on the Board. But the Chairman is too big for one person to hold for so long, I should have stepped down earlier, but it hadn't crossed my mind. It is worth mentioning that I a supporting Majority Leader Miencraft to take over after me. But that depends on the elections.

Note: This is not a result of all of the "RLP Corruption" sentiments coming from Hallo. This was my own decision made on my own terms. I have not discussed this with anyone, I just figured it was time to make it known.

That's awfully noble of you. I am not sure what I will do. I think I may sit this one out and go for a seat again in June and maybe I can mend relations further by then with everyone. I don't know if anyone is ready for me to come back yet. I don't know if I'm ready to come back yet. I'll probably wait.

My deputies are officially in charge of the office now yall. See ya monday. Mien, don't go digging through my desk drawers. :)

Ya there is keys to humpys private chamber.

Thank you, Hallo. You're not getting rid of me completely, I'm just not staying at the very top.

HEY PILGRIM. I'M JOHN WAYNE. HEY PILGRIM.

[nation=short]Ankhora[/nation] has volunteered to become the new leader of the Communist Party of Libertatem.

Congratulations Ahnk.

Now playing on Libertatem Radio:

Jack and Diane, by John Mellencamp.

I must also thank [nation=short]Humpheria[/nation] very much for service to the region as Chairman of the Board. He has been perhaps the most important nation to hold such a position in all of Libertatem's history.

Why do we even accept commies and commies political parties in this alliance for freedom, property and security ? They are just soiling us by their unique presence.

Because our very values of freedom, property, and security compel us not to act against them. As long as they do not harm us, they may be all means free, prosperous, and secure in their visit here.

That's a rather self destructive view point CI. I agree with Yrellian, allowing the parasitic communists be a part of this region is stupid. It just doesn't make any sense for a place called, "Libertatem" to have non libertarian parties. And if people don't like that, then honestly you can leave. We don't need any commies soiling our garden of freedom and RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Ankhora wrote:I dont bite, and tend to be a rather levelheaded person, and am not at all radical.

It doesn't really matter if you're still a commie. What good reason do you have to even be here if you are a commie? That just seems like a bad move on your part chief.

They are not parasitic, and they have made no indication that they are not libertarian. I believe we've had a fair share of even anarcho-communist visitors...

Typical Objectivist, always complaining about parasites.

WE DID IT, THE NEW BRITISH EMPIRE IS PASSWORD PROTECTED!

We are literally fighting a WAR ON COMMUNISM. This includes: ALL COMMUNISM. If we can not even keep communism out of our own region, what hopes do we of ridding elsewhere of communism? That just doesn't make sense, come on now.

Republic Of Minerva wrote:Typical Objectivist, always complaining about parasites.

You're nation type is literally, "Anti-Communist." How you are not siding with Yrellian and I is unknown.

He has as much of a right to be here as you and I. Remember the old WFE? "We accept all ideologies here".

The New United States wrote:At first I thought you were serious, then I thought you were joking, and then I thought you were serious again. If you're kidding, you got me pretty good.

If you have something you'd like to say, I suggest you say it instead of these bullcrap indirect posts you always reply to me with.

Hallo Island wrote:He has as much of a right to be here as you and I. Remember the old WFE? "We accept all ideologies here".

So what? Why does that even matter? That's irrelevant to this debate. Letting your enemies into your own place of operations is really stupid. I have never understood that. It makes no sense.

Ronald Reagan And Rick Grimes wrote:If you have something you'd like to say, I suggest you say it instead of these bullcrap indirect posts you always reply to me with.

I was simply expressing the fact that I could not tell if you were joking or not. At first, I was reading it seriously, until I got to the part where you described Libertatem as a "garden of freedom and RIGHTEOUSNESS." That led me to believe that you were attempting humor, yet everything else seemed to be serious.

Thus, I was not sure if you were making the statement in jest, or not. It is now clear to me that it was the latter.

Also, I have nothing to say to you, as I do not know anything about you, aside from your apparent disdain for Communists in our region and for religion.

No, TNUS, he's really that fervent. Comes in handy at times, but...yeah.

Well yeah, but it's the principle of the fact that we are allowing communists in a anti-communist and war waging region. It goes against the principle of our entire outfit here and it is embarrassing to the name of the region.

Really gotta lean into those heys

I will ask the Founder to enact a temporary password today as a drill. We will be testing how quickly we can place one in the case of invasion.

Sometimes I try to do things

And it just doesn't work out the way I wanted to

And I get real frustrated

And I'm like, I try hard to do it

And I'm like, take my time

And it doesn't work out the way I wanted to

It's like, I concentrate on real hard but it doesn't work out

And everything I do and everything I try it never turns out

It's like, I need time to figure these things out

There's always someone there going, Hey, Mike

You know, we've been noticing

You've been having a lot of problems lately

You know, you should, maybe, get away

And like, maybe you should talk about it, you'll feel a lot better

And I go, No, it's okay, you know I'll figure it out

Just leave me alone I'll figure it out

You know I'll just work it out myself

And they go, Well you know if you want to talk about it

I'll be here you know and you'll probably feel a lot better

If you talked about it, so why don't you talk about it

I go, No, I don't want to I'm okay, I'll figure it out myself

And they just keep bugging me and they just keep bugging me

And it builds up inside

You're gonna be institutionalized

You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes

You won't have any say

They'll brainwash you until you see their way

I'm not crazy, institution

You're the one who's crazy, institution

You're driving me crazy, institution

They stuck me in an institution

Said it was the only solution

To give me the needed professional help

To protect me from the enemy, myself

I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall

Thinking about everything

But then again I was thinking about nothing

And then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there

She called my name and I didn't even hear it

And then she started screaming, Mike, Mike

And I go, What, what's the matter?

And she goes, What's the matter with you?

I go, There's nothing wrong, mom

And she goes, Don't tell me that, you're on drugs

I go, No, mom, I'm not on drugs, I'm okay

I was just thinking you know, why don't you get me a Pepsi

And she goes, No, you're on drugs

I go, Mom, I'm okay, I'm just thinking

She goes, No you're not thinking, you're on drugs

Normal people don't act that way

I go, Mom just give me a Pepsi, please

All I want is a Pepsi and she wouldn't give it to me

All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi

And she wouldn't give it to me, just a Pepsi

They give you a white shirt with long sleeves

Tied around you're back, you're treated like thieves

Drug you up because they're lazy

It's too much work to help a crazy

I'm not crazy, institution

You're the one who's crazy, institution

You're driving me crazy, institution

They stuck me in an institution

Said it was the only solution

To give me the needed professional help

To protect me from the enemy, myself

I'm sitting in my room and my mom and my dad came in

They pulled up a chair and they sat down, they go

Mike, we need to talk to you

I go, Okay, what's the matter?

They go, Me and your mom have been noticing lately

That you've been having a lot of problems

You've been going off for no reason and we're afraid

You're gonna hurt somebody

We're afraid you're gonna hurt yourself

So we decided that it would be in your interest

If we put you somewhere

Where you could get the help that you need

And I go, Wait, what are you talking about, we decided

My best interest, how can you know what's my best interest is?

How can you say what my best interest is?

What are you trying to say, I'm crazy?

When I went to your schools, I went to your churches

I went to your institutional learning facilities?

So how can you say I'm crazy?

They say they're gonna fix my brain

Alleviate my suffering and my pain

But by the time they fix my head

Mentally, I'll be dead

I'm not crazy, institution

You're the one who's crazy, institution

You're driving me crazy, institution

They stuck me in an institution

Said it was the only solution

To give me the needed professional help

To protect me from the enemy, myself

It doesn't matter, I'll probably get hit by a car anyways.

It'd solely be in the name of pragmatism, and I'd put in a clause allowing the Board to repeal an action by the President.
