This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Why debate dogma?

Comedian Pat Condell on Islam and dogma. A voice of sanity? I think so. You could apply his words to Forgeite dogma too!;)

So atheists have been abused, treated badly by clergy or they're stupid.They're just being trendy because they can't understand The God Delusion because they don't have the education, plus they're just pretending to be atheists anyway. Pundit you're the one with a problem, terminal stupidity.

Awesome, that guy is stating a lot of things I believe.  BUt it sounds much cooler and smarter with a British accent.

Dude it sounds cooler and smarter because the guy is intelligent and witty, not due to his accent. I've also fallen off my chair a few times laughing at how fucking funny this dude is.

However George Carlin is even better!

It was ok, I didn't think Alanis worked myself though.

Surprisingly accurate on many matters of Catholic dogma.

He's acquired a very emphatic intonation, which I like.  Sounds very authorative, like a newscaster.

There seems to be too much attention to how something is being said and not to what is being said.
Who gives a shit how authoritative a person sounds? It is what they are saying that counts.

Not if he couldn't talk, no.
