Listen to Erathoniel ranting on and on in good ol' conservative Christian fashion.

I believe that God created the world with an infinite depth. We can go back 4M+ years with "science", but God gave us free will to allow an total world. Also, I do not believe that the world is necessarily terribly young. I don't know how old it is, but I do believe that it's probably older than the 6K some suggest. Though, I'm not ruling it out, I'm merely saying that God could've let us develop a long time. Also, in accordance with free will, I believe that God made plenty of evidence. I do...

    Abortion is one of the greatest scourges ever. The idea that killing an innocent, potentially (if not definitely) sentient life form on the excuse of convenience is always wrong.     What abortion allows is casual sex, prostitution, and other immoral acts with the only repercussion being... what exactly? Intense psychological damage, not to mention potential physical damage (still unclear). Therefore, even in any case, abortion is wrong.    ...

    Technically Abandonware is a legal grey area, but how is it morally? I view it to be a helpful promotional tool for future products.     Shadowrun (for Genesis) is the game that introduced me to the Shadowrun series. I'd buy a sourcebook if I had the cash lying around, could find it, and would actually use it, and I frequent the novels and fanfic of it. I'd even buy the 360/PC Shadowrun if it weren't M$ crap (Still not buying their games often since MechAssau...

    Stellar Frontier is an awesome, if outdated, space-combat game by Stardock. This article is a humble request to bring it back. Try putting it on the XBox Live arcade and PSN and re-releasing it for PC with minor updates (just engine, not gameplay or graphics), and it'd do awesome in the market.     So, Stardock, please bring back Stellar Frontier.

    Goliath is an awesome indie freeware game taking place in a bleak landscape. It pits a small team of players against a huge behemoth dedicated to ending the existence of humanity. Vehicular combat at its best. Five @'s.     It's only bad for its lack of maps, and internet multiplayer (use Hamachi and you have no problems).

    Here's the base rules for a Trading Card Game based on Tremulous.     You pretty much have the statistics, but I'll release cards over time to allow the game to be played. ==== Unit Stats ==== Health (Found by dividing an units in-game health by 5), is the measure of the unit's ability to take damage. Structures get double their in-game health for this purpose. Damage: Take a base DPS for humans or attack damage for aliens, divide by ten, round to ne...

    Here's my ideas for a tax system that would make it easy on everyone, and put some balance back into our economy. No income or property tax, with a handful of exceptions (say for $1M+ salaries, with adjustment for inflation). Just sales tax. You can invest, spend money on necessities, and you avoid these taxes (or get reduced rates for investing in some forms). Then, that way, one can get the necessities at rock-bottom price, enjoy a house, enjoy a modest income, and pretty mu...

Now, I have a Creative MuVo v100 1 gigabyte MP3 player. It consists of two parts, the USB storage/player component, and the battery dock. It uses one AAA battery, which lasts it in excess of ten hours (I wanna say twenty four, but I'm not 100% sure. It's long enough.) It also has a wonderful voice recorder, which uses .wav files, if I am correct. Don't use the voice recorder for too much, though. It will only really record voice, and will pick up background noise, though not too much. It come...

I'm taking Minocycline right now. It will cure everything from acne to Lyme disease, including Anthrax and Meningitis, but the side effects can be awful. Just the dizziness can put someone in the clouds. Include nausea, and you're almost incapacitated. It's not that bad, though. Plus, I only had the symptoms yesterday for about eight hours. For all I know, it could've been anything. Was it something I ate? I had a case of steatorrhea last night, and I'm wondering if it was the side effects or...

The article link leads to a dungeon I randomly generated for Morrowind and put in in Seyda Neen. I'll update with a picture later sometime, showing the actual location of the hatch. It's many levels, and made to allow one to have a dungeon experience similar to other hack-and-slash games that Morrowind lacked. I called it Arg Domurg (crappy name, sure, but pseudo-Daedric and really easy to come up with), and published it on Filefront. Go get it!

Evil is any time man walks away from God, the Creator. This is anything from murder to "trivial" sins, such as gossip, or breaking the sabbath. Man is born evil, and has no hope of salvation without Jesus Christ. The payment for accepting Christ is that we are allowed into heaven with God, and the evil in us is taken away by judgement. Then those who follow Jesus are allowed into Heaven, and given wonderful perfect life in a wonderful perfect world as the Earth was originally intended t...

    Anyways, here's a list of my plans for the next couple weeks blog wise.     Continuation of Tremulous: This Is War (Do you wanna see any more of it?)     Start of Shadowrun: (untitled) (will be experimental webcomic)     Decrease of overall articles, increase of specific articles.     Anything you'd like to see? I'm open to suggestions.

    My opinion on banning video games is: "Why?".     Sure, certain games should be banned *coughmanhunt2cough*, but not all games deserve this fate. Instead of banning video games, why not accurately enforce rating restrictions and piracy prevention laws on the games?     Why should violent games be banned when more violent movies and books are being made? It's not like I'm trained for a rampage by playing eight hours of Tom Clancy games a day...

    I will start deleting comments, but I will do the following:     I will not blacklist people, merely delete comments, and I will note that the comments were deleted.     Here's how to avoid deletion:     Do not swear.     Do not use explicit language, or more crude innuendo.     Do not just talk, make your comments useful. (For this rule I may not note comment deletion, to prevent landsli...
