Okay, but I am. And so are many others.

And your argument is a pretty bad one.

Yeah, I just tested it. I'm amazed; the way that's supposed to be fixed doesn't work. Huh. Ah, well... As Xeo says, there's always online fixing.

I'm about 17 hours in to my three-heart run, having just gotten to the 7th dungeon... But then again, I'm pretty sure I have way more stuff than Xeo does. (I mean, I even have the magic armor already.)

You did.
By arguing.

Also, yeah, I recently did hear that Miyamoto said that LoZ and AoL come before Link to the Past. Considering that logically, that does not follow, it's just... Augh... And I would really not like to think about it. So let's not talk about it, okay?

Yeah, this is.

As people have already said, game corruption does not work this way. This is just... Stupid.

If there are no objections, then...

While it is true that it is pathetic, both are accurate.

They're unimplemented.

Also, I love how this thread has gone gloriously far away from what it originally was about.

It occurs to me that I had my photo album pic updated awhile ago, and just never mentioned it here.

It seems to me that it is strongly probable that the universe was created by someone or something - after all, we know that the universe was created from nothing percievable, but this runs contrary to logic. There is empirical evidence that Jesus existed, and was a good man. There is nothing about Christianity that is in and of itself impossible, and though much of the beliefs are unlikely, and much of the bible is just christian (or, in the old testament, jewish) myth, the core of the religion is not innately wrong. Much of what people have against Christianity is attributable solely to the Roman Catholic church.

Beyond everything wrong about Scientology that has been previously said. Beyond the immensely improbably story of the creation of our life told in it. It is distinctly wrong. In scientology writing, an evolutionary link between other primates and man is mentioned as fact. Trouble is, this link, the name of which I cannot remember, was proven a hoax within a very short period of time after the first writings on Scientology were published. This is perhaps the most striking flaw, but not the only, and I am confident that if you did further research you would see more.

Yes, it is true that much of what is in the bible is false, but this is attributable to the inclusion of mythology in additions to the writings of the time of Jesus. Lol, old testament. But despite this, much of what is in the bible is proven fact, while scientology is easily likened to made-up bullshit, but... Beyond everything else, Christianity's core cannot be proven wrong, but Scientology's core most definitely, beyond a shadow of a doubt can... And, going beyond the corruption behind each, that is the difference between Christianity and Scientology.

What does the phrase "much of" mean? I have no clue.
There. I have fixed your statement.

And disregarding sarcasm even, yes, hate against homosexuality came from the old testament, which in my opinion doesn't count as it's basically just jewish mythology, and from the statements of the pope and therefore the Roman Catholic church. The same is true about non-christians being hellbound. Taking the bible as fact is just ignorance, and evolution being non-accepted stems mainly from that. I was talking about the core, though, so all of those are non issues... Which just proves further that you didn't bother to fully read my post before responding, or at least that you didn't take the time to actually think it through.

Don't be purposefully antagonistic. It's a pretty lame doctrine.

... I refer you back to my previous post, as I have made several edits which I do not believe you have seen. As for some of what you said, though, I refer mainly to what the thread creator said - taxes to the church are the roman catholic church's doing, for instance, and that this old practice can be confused with the donations most churches encourage. Much of what popes have said is just wrong, and lord knows how many problems that's caused (though many popes are not bad people at all). So yeah, I blame the Roman Catholic church for a lot of it and there is most definitely not no reason to bring it up, as seems to me to be inherently obvious.

My interpretation was that the roman catholic church was Rome attempting to grab power back by supporting christianity, which was the hip new thing at the time, while still oppressing the masses and having rule... But this time it was through the pope, who was basically king but with a different name and a claimed connection to God. This may be totally false, I wouldn't really know... But clearly some of what they've done is obviously wrong.

Again, it seems like you just wanted to be antagonistic here. And that's not cool.

Silvershield: If I did not make it clear that I was talking about prior actions of the Catholic church - as in, several centuries ago actions - then I apologize. I basically despise the way it rose up, but I have no major qualms with it now, as it hasn't been evil in quite some time, that I can tell.

emcee: That is so flagrantly disregarding my point I'm not even going to try to refute it.

Edit: But I'm feeling argumentative, so just to explain exactly how you have selectively read my post... I clearly outlined that if you accept that much of the Bible is myth then there's nothing really wrong, but even at its very core Scientology can be proven wrong. If you did not notice that, that is your fault, not mine. Yes, there's stuff in the Bible that it obviously wrong. There's way more wrong stuff in the Scientology writings, and it's much more ingrained in the faith.

Yes. Yes, that IS true.

Not just the old testament. Much of what comes after the first parts of the new testament, which was generally later writings tacked on. Lol, revelations. And yeah, some of the stuff that's true has stuff that's not true in it, because that is the nature of how stories go. People just want to make them better, but that doesn't mean that the core beliefs are wrong and that doesn't mean that the underlying principles that wise men have taught are wrong.

Scientology, on the other hand, has numerous obvious faults that were there from the very start, as can be empirically proven because we know the early texts and it hasn't even had a century.
