It's MEANT to be ironic. Besides, they try so hard to convert people and then get mad when they magic stuff thrown at them. Generally the spiritualities here in Viva don't do the whole conversion thing.
It isn't conversion, it is simply returning people to their original state of mind.
We are all born as atheists.
Your "magic stuff" is the evil brainwashing menace!
Converting hapless fools to their intolerant dogma!
You monster!

Science wasn't a concept until somewhere in the middle ages I think. Animism, shamanism & totemism were the first beleif systems. Albert Einstein wasn't a deity til way later.
You might want to look into this guy named Socrates. He was killed for his atheistic beliefs before JC was even born.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Alekseandrea, The Botched Pejazzle Of The Studly Spud
The point is science did not come before shamanism. We humans are not born atheists. We aren't born as ANY religion.
I guess that Shamanism did come before science, but neither the age of a belief, the number of its followers, or the strength of their convictions have any bearing on whether it's true.
I also don't understand why you're claiming that science is a religion. It's merely a method for evaluating truth claims about the universe; it has no dogma, tenets, or beliefs.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Alekseandrea, The Botched Pejazzle Of The Studly Spud
By the way, Socrates wasn't exactly what you call an atheist. He was a philosopher, and he believed in free choice and critical thinking. He accepted a couple of gods, but made fun of many others. Last of all, Socrates wasn't killed because of his beliefs. He was killed because he confronted people with the truth about what they were doing, and, well, people don't exactly like being told what they're doing wrong, so they washed their hands of him.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, Alekseandrea, The Botched Pejazzle Of The Studly Spud, Jack Chick
Atheism isn't science.
Atheism is simply not believing in one or multiple gods.
Nobody believes in Gods at the moment of their birth.
Therefore everyone is an born atheist.
Atheism isn't a religion.
That's like calling vegetarianism a religion.
It's more like a state of mind.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, The Botched Pejazzle Of The Studly Spud
Socrates was accused of being an atheist. He had gods, but he had questions about them too.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus
Yet there were atheists among the old greeks,
The problem is that those who admitted it tended to be sentenced to death for blasphemy.
So naturally, most people weren't running around declaring their atheism.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus
Yes, there were atheists, though most people were agnostic, not believing that there was a god, and not believing that there wasn't one either, so: "We don't know, and we cannot know whether there is a god(s) or not." Atheism, as far as I know, generally assumes that god(s) does not exist. So far, I haven't seen any conclusive proof that god doesn't exist. On the other hand, I haven't seen any proof that god does exist either. In the end, as far as I can see, both atheism, and theism are beliefs. The freedom to believe there is/isn't a god is what Socrates really died for.
Matrixulated, The Jedi-Zombi Jezus
My definition of atheism is broader than yours.
You think explicit rejection of all gods is needed for atheism.
I believe not believing in any gods is needed for atheism, no matter the reason for said belief.
Can one believe in that he does not know?
I would say no.
Therefore, using my definition, agnostics are atheists.
It is a matter of perspective.
The Jedi-Zombi Jezus, The Botched Pejazzle Of The Studly Spud
I would turn the question around.
Can one not believe in that he does not know?
But you are right, it is a matter of perspective.

For the poll of favorite desert, I put other. I went with the High Desert in Oregon and Washington, United states. It's a small desert but a big plateau. It snows a lot during the winter time and in the summer months there's mainly dry monsoons. It's rainshadowed from the towering cascade mountains and a completely different ecosystem from just across the mountians where it rains literally half the year.

Chief Crazy Bich suggests you always cook your prey thoroughly imediatley after it's dead. It's best to strike it with such deadly force that it is dead immediately in one blow. Preferably caused by blunt force damage to induce death so that there will not be any places where it can start gathering bacteria. Slashing, piercing and those other kinds of damage that create cuts and what not make it gather bacteria and spoil faster. Make sure you cook it all the way through so as not to get sick from insuficiently cooked meat. We once defeated some invading soldiers and put them on rotisserie. Our shaman got food poisoning cuz it wasn't cooked properly.

I'm a little late but the challenge thing is just a game they added for the tenth anniversary; you can challenge other nations and it picks random stats to compare; if you win you get points. It's a one-sided thing, I believe, so if the other person wins they don't get points, it's only the person challenging that gets anything (I may be totally wrong about this but that's how it seemed to me).

That aren't assassinations, but tragic accidents.
The policemen in most cases simply follow their training.
Which involves shooting someone there is the slight possibility of being shot themselves.
Because someone thought it was a good idea to give everyone and their dog acces to guns.
To protect them from said guns.
And then people get shot.
