If u bought it it should have cd-key on it no?
And I forgot ONE LINE! GDGDGDGDGD
I don't think anyone noticed but that was the FUNNIEST LINE AND I FORGOT IT
*Runs out the Tavern and jump off the EB office tower*
it's allright-it doesn't need it-except for multiplayer
That's odd.
If you bought it, there should be a CD key in it? If you have the receipt, just go back to the store and explain it.

*Appo leans forward, and then I kick him in the nuts*
*Appo Doubles over*
WATAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
*heavy backfist to temple knocks appo out*
(the crossbowmen dont respond cuz their commander jumped off the EB office tower)
yeah i no appo didnt ACTUALLY kill my master but he made the arcani stab me with a pen and i almost died so i'm treating him as if he killed my master.
I am a beer snob. I very wish want to become a scotch snob. I usually buy 12 year Glenlivet, but today I bought 12 year Tomatin. It's half the price of Glenlivet, so even though I like it very much, I must turn my nose away from it because if it's half as expensive, it can only be half as good.
It goes well with EB.:2thumbsup:

What? When did I kill you? I thought I only killed Tom0. Or was you the guy that keept using weapons even after they were forbidden? If that´s the case, then I´d just like to inform that intaking of ink is not lethal and can only cause some slight problems, such as throw-ups and the like, nothing truly serious. As such, I never actaully even came close to killing you, just temporarily neutralising you so that you could consider your actions. It seems it did not work, si I´ll just call for Tacitus instead. After all, we don´t want any violence in the Tavern.

General Appo, is there some issue you wish me to take care of?
*makes shifty eyes at Alexander Maximus*
As for all this lead laying around, I suppose it is time I let everyone know that the reason all firearms seem useless in the Tavern is b/c all the drinks are tainted with a *ahem* potion that makes lead/firearms/all non-period weapons more or less useless in the tavern - the potion only has a temporary effect.
It is, after all, what I do.

W/o getting into the specifics of the aforementioned potions, they work like this...
They work more or less for the time you are in the EB Tavern. The effects fade soon after you've left. Since you have to do a shot at the door to get in - we offer non-alcoholic shots at the door as well - although we do not encourage it - the effects are pretty much instantaneous when you enter. You may notice the following side effects ... slight dizziness, decreased motor coordination, slurring of words, a tendency to cuss more often, a decrease in your normal standards of "hotness" in members of the opposite sex, and somewhat bold and irrational behavior on the EB battlefield. If you experience an erection for more then 4 hours, please call your physican.
Any more questions?
Well then, my work here is done.

That wasnt my neck, that was your knee.
Maybe that backfist to ur head made u woozy so u thought i kicked myself.
that WAS a nasty combo i caught u with.
I did say i was gonna kick ur ass d00d.
but its no more beef, cuz i got you and now i avenged my master.
Anywayz, if i can hit you with a stopkick, lead-cross-hook combo, and you get up and say "WTF i wasnt trying to kill you", then ur an EFFIN BEAST dude.

Listen. Do you hear it? That is the sound of silence, drowned by unspeakable solitude. The org is gone now. We are alone. You are alone.
Join me. Join me in my grand requiem for your fallen idol. Once a Temple of hope, now a shattered dream confined to the ashes of failure.
Time. Time does not heal all things. Time could never heal your ruinous ways. You have done this to yourselves. Time stood still. Laughing. Joking.
Did I not warn you? I poured my heart into the prevention of this. You dragged your idol to the edge of oblivion and callously threw it in. I stood in the corner. Waiting. Watching.
How can I help you now? How can I purify your souls when you could never help yourselves? Now it is too late. Even I can not turn back time's hands. Time's cruel, cold hands.
Come. Be my guests. Let us watch The Org burn together. Thread by thread, word by word. I can not help you now. Save yourselves.

Well guys, I have never fully understood this whole Marat affair, but something says to me that he not a regular one in any of his incarnations and should not be taken lightheartedly. For instance, I have just tried to look who that Et_Major_Sam_18 is, what he has said in other threads and the like, so I have tried tried to look at his profile and ..... I was told that I not even allowed to that. :no:
This is telling, mates...:inquisitive:
General Appo
03-14-2008, 23:43
Hey, everybody needs to chill out, this is the Tavern, not a arena or lowly den. No Bruce Leeing, no Nunchucking, no excessive swearing and no shooting.
Now, let´s get back to Hax´s bagpipes. From France you say, how very interesting. As I understand it the people of ancient Armoriae shares many Scottish traditions, such as bagpiping (or whatever it´s called).
Yeah.
The bagpipes originated in India (!). From there, it kinda went west with Megás Alexandros and the Baktrioi, methinks. Eventually, it wound up in Hellas, from there to Rome, and some of the more difficultly assimilated tribes (Pictoi, Basque, Bretons) took this instrument and played it a lot.
Especially in Scotland, that was seperated from the rest of Europe, where in the meantime "better" instruments had been developed (the bagpipes are diatonical, which means you can only play in
one kind of tone, such as G and Bes, f.ex. (most Scottish ones are tuned in Bes), it kinda got out of the main audience, and the tradition of the bagpipers lived on in the Balkans, Scotland, Bretagne, etc.
Scottish bagpipes make a lot of noise, as we all know, and they were developed with instilling fear into enemies (what is more scary than a bunch of crazy skirt-wearing men with bagpipes running down a hill?) Actually, a Scottish folk song called 'Johnnie Cope' (or Cowp) tells about the defeat of Sir John Cope, an English General at the battle of Prestonpans.
The lyrics are as following:
Cowp sent a a Message frae Dunbar
Sayin'; "Chairlie meet me gin ye daur,
"And I'll engage ye in the arts o' war,
"If you'll meet me in the maurning "
When Chairlie looked this letter upon,
He drew his sword frae scabbard from,
'follow me ye merry men,
And we'll meet Johnnie Cowp in the maurning'
Hey Johnnie Cowp are you wauking yet,
And are yer drums a-beatin' yet?
Gin ye were wauking I would wait,
Tae gang tae The Coals in the maurning
Come noo Johnnie be as good as your word
And let us try baith fire and sword
Dinnae flee like a frightened bird
That's gone frae its nest in the morning
When Johnnie Cowp he heard o' this,
He said tae 'imself that it would nae be amiss,
Gin I saddle me horse in readiness,
To gang mak' a flee in the maurning.
Hey Johnnie Cowp are you wauking yet,
And are yer drums a-beatin' yet?
Gin ye were wauking I would wait,
Tae gang tae The Coals in the maurning
Heigh! now Johnnie, get up and rin,
The Highland bagpipes mak a din,
Fer t'is better tae sleep wit' hale a skin.
'twill be a bloody maurning.
When Johnnie Cowp tae Dunbar came,
They spiered at him, " where's a' yer men?"
"The Dei'l confound me gin I ken,
Fer I left them a this maurning."
Hey Johnnie Cowp are you wauking yet,
And are yer drums a-beatin' yet?
Gin ye were wauking I would wait,
Tae gang tae The Coals in the maurning
Now Jonnie troth, ye were nae blaite,
Tae come wi' news o' yer ain defeat,
And leave your men in sic a staete
Sae e'rly in the maurning.
"Faith", quo Johnnie, "I had sic flegs,
Wi' their claymores and their philabegs,
Gin I face them again Deil brak ma legs,
I wishes y'all good maurning."
Hey Johnnie Cowp are you wauking yet,
And are yer drums a- beatin' yet?
Gin ye were wauking I would wait,
Tae gang tae The Coals in the maurning.
Story tells of Sir John Cope whose entire force was routed by Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Young Pretender of Scotland, in less than ten minutes. According to the story, the Scots raided his camp early in the morning, with John Cope himself running away all the way to Dunbar (33 kilometers of running), and telling the news of his own defeat.
He wasn't the first one to run away from the terrible noise of bagpipes, and certainly won't be the last.

I'm back!
It seems like it's been a riot in here while I've been away. Well, I think it's time for a bit of authority...
I think everyone will agree with my first ruling: Marat - barred?

Seconded on the Marat barred front. And as Admetos and I are the principle Tavern keepers, what we say goes!
Can we also tone down on the Scottish nationalism too? The 1745 Jacobite Revolution failed, get over it!
Come to think of it, all nationalism is looked down upon in this Tavern. In my opinion, we're all the same, there is no need to seperate us into national groups!

Yeah! Admetos is back!! And yes sir, you do owe quite a few rounds of drinks! Guiness for myself, thank you. Boys?
Bagpipes and booze, a natural mix? It's nearabouts St. Paddy's day and living in the wee metropolis of Chicago, it's quite the deal down on the Southside. I had an interesting conversation with a few bagpipers just last night and they say it is a (local?) tradition to get hammered before (and after) the parade. Guiness and Jamesons mostly - of course.
(kind of destroys my childhood vision of those parades tho)
So... I suppose, Hax, that you may very well fit right in to the Bagpiping crowd!
:laugh4:
Ah, there's nothing like a massed pipe-band playing Scotland the Brave, all on differently tuned bagpipes.
Anways, I don't drink too much, but I can have a shitload in me, I rarely get drunk. It's just that I don't really like alcohol. Not after the "accident" last year, haha.

You know what, it's not the end of things.
Give it time. One argument in a fit of pique does not constitute a breakup. Give her a few days, then talk again. The worst thing you could do now is talk to her. Don't keep pestering her with 'I'm sorry' messages. It will just irritate her more as you're reminding her of your existence just when she wants to forget you most. Just tell her you're sorry, and that perhaps both of you need quiet time. Tell her you still love her.
The worst thing you could do in a week or two from now is to not continue talking to her. Don't keep apologising though. It makes you look pathetic. Instead, focus on the positive. Ask her if she's feeling okay. Start as normal friends and work upwards again. Don't expect her to start up with you of a sudden, status quo ante. Get her flowers, nice touches, woo her all over again. Remember one thing: NEVER bring up the past at this stage. It will just reopen old wounds you would rather have healed.
/speaksfromexperience
She got your apology. She's just too pissed/hurt to reply. Give it time, that's the most important thing. It works wonders. And as long as you prove you're willing to wait and do sweet things for her even though there's no love coming back (yet), she will eventually come back to you if she's mature enough to realise as you did that it was only on the spur of the moment. True love can survive that, after all, it's give and take. Sometimes, you just have to accept that you will become the other side's punching bag, unfair though it may be.
And if she doesn't come back (gods forbid), she tells you she doesn't want you anymore, don't make yourself look cheap by pestering. Give up dignified-like. There are many other women in the world, even German screeching women. But that possibility, of course, is no reason for not trying to win her back. All women love to be wanted and cherished, and as long as you do that, if she has any inkling of feelings for you remaining, she will come back.
Routing units, if you leave them alone and don't pursue them, have a high chance of rallying and returning to the battle. Learn from EB.
Chin up, hooahguy. It ain't all over. Not by a long shot it isn't. Fan the embers you dampened back into flame! Like I'm setting this bottle of whisky alight now!

So we kissed and stuff, and then she broke up with her boyfriend, and two weeks later she told me she didn't like me enough anyways.
This is post #100 for me.
I am nervous about a paper I am presenting tomorrow. Last night I went to the emergency room because I tried to swallow a whole chicken without chewing. It got lodged somewhere below where the lungs branch off of the esophagus (anatomy is not my strong point) and I spend two hours with an IV full of muscle relaxant before my throat loosened up enough that I could cough and vomit the blockage out. The result of the two+ hours of constant coughing, my throat feels like I ran a wire brush up and down it and my voice sounds like a sound of a frog played at high speed, and it only lasts for about half an hour before I have to rest it. Now, I'm on a soft foods diet until I learn how to cut food into manageable bites and chew thoroughly.

Gentlemen, I have a very simple solution that will work, trust me.
First, hands off the drinks, they cloud you judgement and ability to function.
Second, learn how to control you emotions and you body language.
Third, work hard. VERY hard. Work does liberate, trust me.
You're girl problems are solved and you'll never have a broken hearth. Try to live a stoic life, making sure you're strong yourself, before you start making connections with others.
@Dhampir
I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you get better and I'm sure you'll do great tomorrow. Remember this, even Obelix chews his wild boar before swallowing!

I'm not a right-winger and I don't care that Obama is black, only that he's the disciple of a virulent racist and he affirms his discipleship.
GW spoke once at Bob Jones University and it took years for him to get over the connection, but Obama can attend the church run by the African-American version of Bob Jones and we're not supposed to care. Ridiculous.
Reverend Wright preaches that AIDS was invented by white people to kill black people. Give me a break.

I completely didn't get the first part of your post, by the way. What's that about Culloden? o.O
You really don't know the story behind the 'Skye Boat Song?' I've come to note that those of Scot decent are often given to the annoying habit of putting every little event to verse or song. Then they tend to want to venerate it forever. The boat in the song carries Prince Charlie, the lad born to be king, after leaving so many to die at Culloden. From Skye he fled to France to become a useless old drunk, yet many for generations continued to pin all hope on him. I figured it pointedly apropos to apply this little homily, given the current state of affairs.
Not that I've a horse in this particular race; as I certainly do not, yet I've been predicting correctly the out come, line by line, of the current preliminary election of our new 1st citizen for about a year. Now, my bloody friends are coming up to me and asking what will happen next. As if I actually know. Well in a sense I do, but thats another story altogether.
I simply stick to the story line, no mater how remote it seems, and each time somehow I'm proven right. Sometimes I even ask myself how the hell a given event could ever come to pass. I could tell you how the story goes, but not here, as I'm sure there are many, that won't want to hear it told. And... I really don't want to spoil the ending for you. I can tell you this, 'She'll win states where paper votes, while he'd take those that run the Caucus.' There is a reason for this, but you have to have a proper understanding of American Politics and its political history.

I'm pragmatic, not what one would want for the vote, but with such as those that run for office; how it is, how it was, and how it will always be. Indeed all politics are full of bull, but its for the comic or tragic story, thats why I pay to see the flicker show.

I really didn't mean to infer that you were right-wing or bothered by Obama being black. Apologies.
I'm not bothered by what people listen to in Church, it's all made up nonsense anyway.
A beer for Dhampir, hopefully that will put an end to this argument.
I don't know what you people are arguing all about. To me, as an outsider, it's obvious that this is a circus and the winner of the elections has already been decided. The campaign is only there to „steer” the public into voting the „right” person and make the people think it's for real. As for my evaluation of your 3 „leading” candidates, here it is: Hillary - a Clinton, life long friends with the Bushes => the presidency stays in the „family”; McCain - a nazi in disguise (though not a good disguise); Obama - either he's bought or he'll be powerless => he might be a release valve so the public doesn't get too suspicious. Your only good shot is Ron Paul (even if I'm what would be a Democrat in your country, aka Social Liberal)
As for that preacher, it's no wonder he said AIDS was man made, the have been accidentally declassified documents that suggest AIDS was man-made, but escaped confinement (probably helped by some people with interest, but population control rather than racism). Still, to me religion involves a whole lot of crap, and using it to further a political agenda is even crappier.
*drinks a Wembley Tonic*
Hey, i've met McCain several times and he's no Nazi. An A-hole yes, but no Nazi. Maybe you should trouble yourself to learn the story of why he holds his arms so strange.
And please...
your words accidentally declassified documents that suggest?
You can do better than that? Gentlemen, a drink all round on me, and worry no more about these visions, of American preachers and politicians, that dance in your heads.

I can't see how McCain is a nazi. McCain is rather centrist compared to some right-wing nutjobs professing to be politicians in America. At least he's not a God-botherer like some of them.
Doesn't he hold his arms because he was tortured by the North Vietnamese? What's that got to do with anything though?

Well well well, what do I see. A discussion about politics! I must join!
First off, all Americans are nuts. Now that I´ve incured the wrath of some 300million people let´s get down to bussines.
In Sweden both Clinton, Obama and the entire Democratic party would be considered right-wingers, and the entire Republican party extreme right-wingers, the kind that you are a bit ashamed and shocked actually exists in your country.
This isn´t intended as a pun or offense to anyone, just goes to show how different things can be in different nations. For me, a true Swede who knows a bit about politics, it´s actaully rather worrying that the mightiest nation on Earth is going to be led by Clinton, Obama or Mcain. None of the other candidates would have made me happy either, but anyway.
The problem is I believe, that Americans are nuts beyond redemption.
Also, just about every damn country in the world is nuts, and Sweden is starting to become one of them, but I think we are still savable.
The only problem with my theory is that all those other nuts countries probably thinks I´m nuts, but they´re always wrong anyway, so who cares?
Horst Nordfink
03-20-2008, 19:00

Who are the National Democrats? In Sweden we´ve got the (wiki translated) the Swedish Social Democratic party, the Left Party (sounds silly in english), The Green party, the Center Party (again silly), the Liberal People´s party, the Moderate party and the Christian Democrats (biggest nuts).
There´s also the newly formed Sweden Democrats, who are even bigger nuts and makes me won´t to reinstate the death penalty, but not even they are more right then your americans Republicans.
Don´t know about any National Democrats though, and if there are any, then they´re probably the kind of very small groups that only get´s any kind of public attention when they get in a fight with another very small group with extreme political ideas.

Nationaldemokraterna, I found them on Wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Democrats_%28Sweden%29
From the page on Sverigedemokraterna, they sound like a far-right party, bordering on neo-nazism. Much, much worse than the Republican Party.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden_Democrats
How are you judging how right-wing the Republican Party is? What are you basing it on?
Ideologically speaking, both the Democrats and Republicans are Liberal parties. On a strictly objective left-right axis, both are left of center. On a relative left-right axis, the Dems are spread out all over the left and the Republicans occupy a very small bit of space slightly right of center.
The only appreciable difference between the two parties is their views on taxation.
Horst Nordfink
03-20-2008, 20:10
I wouldn't think that either party could be described as Liberal. As with most political parties, there are members who are more left leaning than others and vice versa.
In this coming election, the Republican Party has elected a relatively centrist politician. If certain news organisations who shall remain nameless, continue in playing the race card and shit-stirring, the Democrats will elect a right-wing candidate in Hilary Clinton. I personally can't see much of a difference between them.
General Appo
03-20-2008, 20:30
Oh come on, the Swedish National Democrats got 3,000 votes, they don´t count.
How anyone can claim the Republicans beeing Liberal is beyond me, but yet again there are just so many differences between Swedish and American politics. For example, it´s impossible to discuss the Union (ya know, that organises workers and makes sure they get proper pay and shit) with an american, becasue the swedish and american union is just so different.
It´s just another world, it´s hard to compare them.
And yes, Sverigedemokraterna are assholes, but hey, they´re funny at least. Here´s an actualy qoute from one of their leaders: "I want to move to land where they don´t accept immigrants". :laugh4:
How anyone can claim the Republicans beeing Liberal is beyond me
The party line is small government, tax control, protection of personal liberties against government infringement, equality of opportunity--this is a wholly Liberal platform in the very spirit of Liberalism. In the course of events, party lines mean nothing, of course.
In practice, both parties are welfare state, big brother government, exchange liberty/equality of opportunity for security/equality of outcome, blow up small, developing countries kinds of parties.
edit- I said I wouldn't talk about politics...
Well then...
If you don't like the Skye Boat Song analogy...
maybe, you'll like Cuachag Nan Craobh better?
1st verse
Cuachag nan craobh nach truagh leat mo chaoi
‘G osnaich rioidhch’ cheothar
shiubhlainn le m’ghaol fo dhubhar nan craobh
Gu’n duin’ air an t-saohgal fheoraich
Thogainn ri gaoith am monadh ri fraoich
Mo leabaidh ri taobh dorain
Do chrutha geal caomh sinte ri’m thaobh
‘S mise gad chaoin phogadh.
By the way, its Gàidhlig.
It is thought that the tune to this formed the basis of the Skye Boat Song. It sounds a bit like this...
http://efolkmusic.org/ArtMusic/preview.asp?tune=1680_12368_006.mp3
The words were pinned by William Ross, who lived in the late 17th century.
Right, you want the title in English...
'Cuckoo of the Trees'
and its said it was a traditional rowing song designed to melt away the labors of the day.

Ding! Post 600!
Well, I am English. Does that count?
Congratulations.
What does the figure of speech 'throwing the jar' mean? I tried googling it, with no success.
Was that throw or toss???
Throw. But if you know the meaning with 'toss' that's okay too.

I dual-majored in History and English, but almost all of my English coursework was reading Star Wars books.:no:
Toss is subtle English there that I'm not sure I want to touch? Let us just stick with throw then. Throw can mean to vomit and a jar, a beer? Its like, 'hilda mi gigot,' does that work for you?

OMG that graphics card fellow is an IDIOT. XD XD Votes for the biggest nut, fellows?
*peers at hooahguy prancing about out there in LS*
I don't believe it, he actually believed me and went out to prance. XD
On nuts, there was a charity organisation here a year or two back whose CEO was found to be drawing a monster $600000 a year pay, and who had gold-plated taps in his office toilet. A huge hooha resulted from the public that resulted in the CEO and the entire board resigning and being thrown in court for fraud and suspicious business practices. The organisation itself suffered from a major loss of credibility that affected ALL other charities (very much less people are willing to donate now because they can't be sure the money is really for charity).
Anyway, point is this. The wife of the Senior Minister (our title for the preceding Prime Minister, keeping him as a consultant and elder statesman in government) happened to be the patron of this charity. So of course the media approached her for soundbites. And whether because she was a personal friend of the CEO, or because she didn't want to be seen as betraying the organisation she patronises, she obliged with a MAJOR soundbite that caused her to lie low for a very, very long time.
'I don't understand what all this fuss is about. I think $600000 is peanuts.'
To this day people can still not know her by her name or face, but once someone says 'Mrs Peanuts' recognition will instantly dawn. She's a public hate figure now, and her husband had to come out and tell her off indirectly in public. Even then, of course, he didn't apologise for her. She did eventually, but after SO LONG that it was obvious it wasn't from the heart. :\

lol, that charity was called the National Kidney Foundation, ironically.
Organ sale is banned in Singapore, so for peanuts or betel nuts or other sort of nuts, you can't sell one. Though I understand in other countries people do sell them for 1/10 the cost of a Singaporean peanut.

Hey,guys. Just played EB for the first time today ('today' being 3-20-08) and thought I'd put my foot in the door and say hi to my fellow EB fanatics.
...About me? Well,I'm 24,don't drink (so no vodka,whiskey,etc. for me),no gf because girls don't like me,and I look nothing like my avatar and am in nowhere near as good of shape as my namesake.
Glad to finally say I've played EB,though,after a couple verbal lashings from the EB team concerning SecuRom and Spartan Hoplites (but nothing about that segmented Roman armor of which I probably shouldn't speak the name!!!!!!!!!!!)

Re: Easter--I was thinking last night as I lay in bed trying to get some fitful rest with a stomach full of partially digested ham, sweet potato and way too much apple crisp...all of the major "eating holidays" are in cold weather months for the northern hemisphere. Thanksgiving (in the US, anyway), Christmas, Easter are all culturally centered around a huge meal. Why in the winter, when people are traditionally more inactive due to the weather.
I think I figured out why--because no one wants to eat a lot when it's hot out.:yes:
If people liked to eat large meals when it is hot out, the calendar would have been set up with these holidays falling in the summer.:whip:

It is Easter according to the Gregorian Calendar. Everyone but the Berbers and the various veins of Orthodox Christianity use it.
Actually it's according to Catholics, Orthodox people of neither Gregorian nor Julian calendar celebrate it now. But then again I'm an Atheist, so it's an excuse to not do stuff and eat.

The Gregorian Calendar is designed to put the ecclesiastical date for the vernal equinox (this year, the 21st of March) as close as possible to the actual vernal equinox (the 20th).
The Gregorian Calendar puts Easter as the first Sunday after the first full moon after the ecclesiastical vernal equinox between the 22nd of March and the 25th of April. This is an objective fact.
All Christian denominations who are not Orthodox--not just Catholics--use the Gregorian Calendar to date their religious occurrences.
All Orthodox faiths, to my knowledge, use the Julian Calendar.
Now, a predominantly Orthodox country would date their national celebration of Easter to the Julian calendar even though they use the Gregorian calendar for everything else. But it's still Easter by their Calendar of state even if they don't recognize it as such. ~;p

Not really, Orthodox Christianity in most countries uses (Gregorian) edit: it's the revised Julian Calendar that syncronises with the Gregorian (Romanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Antiochian......), it's just Easter that is calculated differently (it's between April 4 and May 8). Dates are 13 days later for OCCs that use the Julian Calendar (Russian, Ukrainian....)

i see more and more atheists everyday,religion is loosing ground cause people opend their eyes and made some connections,try looking at the movie Zeithgeist or smth like that,you'll be stunned:shame:
Strictly speaking, atheism is not a rejection of religion; it's a rejection of theist religion. From what I have observed, usually a "political" religion takes the place of a "supernatural" religion. One becomes a zealot for one party or movement or another--and it's still totally based on a leap of faith, that one world view is correct and all others are absolutely wrong.
I have never encountered a person who I would consider to be without a religion.

I agree with Horst, I can honestly say that I am entirely without faith. Hooray for me!
Really, I´m not as much an atheist as a "who gives a dam?". I´m not going act in a special way just because some god or other might possibly want me to. Common sense, if I don´t know I´ll get something back then why the hell should I give something to someone or something I don´t even know exists?
Actually many people become atheists because they want to have a damn good reason to believe in something. So atheists are actually the most moderate and unlikely to move towards a political „religion”.

Re: chocolate. Usually in small quantities.

Then I dole it out in dollops and let it chill in the fridge. Then I spend a couple of days grabbing a piece every time I pass the fridge.
Then I run on the treadmill for extra time each day.

The story goes that Jesus died on Good Friday. Easter is when he rose again.
But I never got the "eggs from a rabbit" thing except that rabbit poop looks like little eggs.:dizzy2:
Hmm, the rabbit thing was explained in a South Park episode you know:laugh4: -
But seriously, if you look closely to all religions, they all have one thing in common, and that is that if you are a good person in this life, you will be repayed after your death in one way or another.
What I really don't get is all the hate between religions. Just look at the Christian vs Muslim comfrontations this day. Incredible. This two religions basic messege is very similar IMHO.
Imagine how schocked i was when i found out the Islam actually holds Jesus as a prophet, even if not as a son of god:dizzy2:
Oh and btw. I like chocolate:beam:
I just don't know why people want to believe in absurd stuff.
