He made a very interesting point; I never really thought about it like that before.

[QUOTE=Paynith;32461249]He made a very interesting point; I never really thought about it like that before.[/QUOTE] Yeah. I also like how he doesn't bash faith, but makes the point that extremism is bad.

[QUOTE=Sexy Eskimo;32463139]I dont even know what firefly is.[/QUOTE] Some short lived show that was pretty good apparently. A guy I lived with pulled the whole "You've never watched that show holy shit what's wrong with you" and made a bunch of us sit down and watch it. Maybe it was because he wanted us to like it as much as him, or maybe not, but we all hated it and made it a point to tell him so. his reaction was hilariously butthurt.

Holy shit

I like how they transitioned from a regular nerd to a religious nerd when they walked through the arch.

One of the better College Humor videos to come out recently.

An amazing eye opener.

derp at the youtube commenter bitching that the video focused on the Christ religions. Ignore that it's more engraved into western society etc etc. Funny video :v:

God damnit I just realized I'm the Firefly guy.

Firefly is fucking awesome.

I've observed that some Americans tend to be passionate about a lot of stuff that doesn't matter for shit and don't give a shit about stuff that matters. It's a funny culture.

This video really did make me think from a new perspective. Never saw it that way.

Nerds that actually have fulfilling lives, yeah.

[QUOTE=pessimistic;32481898]Nerds that actually have fulfilling lives, yeah.[/QUOTE] Like a religious persons life is any more fulfilling then the average nerds.

[QUOTE=pessimistic;32481898]Nerds that actually have fulfilling lives, yeah.[/QUOTE] I'd rather spent a life absorbed by fantasy dragons than a fantasy person (God) Which is more fun?

[QUOTE=pessimistic;32481898]Nerds that actually have fulfilling lives, yeah.[/QUOTE] No vices, no sex, one day of the week shaved off for worshipping, and a constant need to "be good" in the eyes of the omniscient being constantly watching you. Fulfilling.

[QUOTE=Matrix374;32486702]You can say the same thing about people who fap to scat and shit and fixed your post[/QUOTE]What's better. Spending your whole life trying to please something that not only doesn't exist, but is also heavily implied to be a sadistic divine cuntwagon by the mythology surrounding it. Or say, writing up the laws of Physics, creating the Pascall scale or coming up with the theory of relativity. Y'know. Improving mankind instead of pulling it down.

AS IN A FRACTION! The difference is that society in the rest of the western world puts such individuals in their place when they get out of hand. In America they become influential business people or cult leaders. Much like Africa and other such places with under-educated populace to fuck with.

1:16 got me. I do that but never thought of it like that.
