It's a messy protocol, but it will give you a great tool for low level graphics on Unix / Linux systems, something I've been able to pull out several times and save the day.
C++ seems great on the surface but it's a mess underneath. No language should ever be designed with the "Do everything" mentality in mind. Learn some languages that are more targeted to areas you're interested in and run with those. Personally I recommend PHP / Ruby for the Web. C for anything embedded / ASM when need. Gtk, QT, C# and X for graphics, JS, HTML,CSS for front end web and then pick up some solid mathematical languages in between. If you set yourself up with about 12 languages, you'll always have a tool to pull out, and each one of those tools will be better then C++;
As far as psychology can tell, we're happy when we're around people who share our beliefs, this is why attending church will make you happy in the same way that eating lunch will. Groups who support each other, make people happy. If religion did my people happier, then if each person took a different belief, they should each be happier then those no belief.
As for what created the universe, it's a very complex question but one that doesn't get answer by "God". I think the current accepted idea is that dark matter and matter got into a state of perfect summitry and that caused some balance shift to cause matter to over take dark matter and the big bang happened. Now that's not the final answer as we need to figure out what but the dark matter there in the first place, but it's still a better answer then God.
First of all I absolutely do not give science any power above that of man. Man preforms science to get answers and pose bigger questions. Science is unlocking the answers about how life started and why, but it never assumes anything and it doesn't have the ability to insert magical events. Science can only tell man, what he / she seeks to gain, that's it, science can never be super human so it can never be defined as a religion:
When you think I'm bound by my religion to accept your lies because you added "god" into the sentence... reasoned arguments are pointless.
If you can get why that was stupid, and then apologize for insulting my intelligence with such nonsense, I will provide an argument for the existence of god for you to critique.
Except that's what God is, it's an insert to prevent from giving an answer or admitting that you don't know something, for instance "God created the universe", gets you out of having to figure out where the universe came from. As another example, "God gave mankind morality", now we're not accountable to create morals. You can keep doing it and keep interjecting God when you don't want to be held responsible for an answer. Yes I made my quote up, but that's all Christianity, Islam, Mormonism and etc... are. Someone sat down, wrote some stuff on paper, claimed God spoke it to them and then it influences millions / billions of people.
You want me to apologize, but for what? Can you honestly think of way to use God in an answer that doesn't scapegoat the question? Now the alternative which I've proposed to many people over the years, is to prove God exists, without using The Bible, or prove The Bible is 100% accurate and then use it to prove God. Once you do that, insert it's name wherever you want.
I don't intend to insult your intelligence in anyway, I would never make a personal attack directly at you as I don't know you. If you felt at anytime I did then I'm sorry, it was intended to come off that way, but I seriously want to hear what ace's you have in your pocket to prove God, Please!.
I've asked you several times to make arguments in the name of God, you've rejected it.
he belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
"ideas about the relationship between science and religion"
synonyms: faith, belief, worship, creed; More
a particular system of faith and worship.
plural noun: religions
"the world's great religions"
a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance.
Which point of my atheism fits into those? I've rejected all forms of a supernatural being or God, I've simply asked you as a religious believer to explain some good arguments, which you haven't done. For Atheism to be a religion I would have to assume some form of supernatural entity and then reject it, I haven't, I've simply never assumed one existed in the first place.
If creationists want to be taken seriously they need to stop arguing science on points that aren't disputed. If creationists wants to be taken seriously they need to create a reason for God to exist, that doesn't fall back on weak, shallow, sad logic paradoxes which don't make sense. If creationists wants to be taken seriously, they need to prove aspects of there given religion.
The problem is, no creationist has ever been able to do this, they always have to result to shallow, weak, sad and pathetic arguments, against topics they don't understand and using logic that doesn't work. Just saying a theory doesn't make sense, doesn't make it false and doesn't make valid controversy. You can't just radically claim that Dinosaurs don't exist and never once provide evidence of that, that isn't a separate view, it's just a wrong view until you have evidence. Creationism has become the new face of the uneducated adult, and the worst part about this is that it's being pushed onto kids. Creationism can't be taken seriously until it starts making serious, adult arguments. Just because a creationist is to scared to grow up and drop the security blanket, doesn't mean they have a point, they don't.
You still don't get it, for atheism to be a religion it would have to put a God in place to believe in, atheism is the exact opposite of that. Atheism basically asks the question to the theist to prove God exists or give good arguments. The problem is no theist has ever made a good argument for the existent of God. I've thrown the ball in your court, either start doing that or you've shown you don't have any good reason to believe.
Actually science is not my God because I never gave science supernatural or superhuman powers. How is faith in atheism not a view to live by? Give me some examples on what religion gives you that I don't have and why it's more rsional then what I believe and why.
First of all, comma's are an important aspect of English grammar, try using them next time. Secondly, mirage has noting to do with kids, so I don't understand your point. You could be common law and raise kids for 20 years, that doesn't make you any better then a married couple who raises kids for 20 years.
God contradicts its existence because something would of had to create God, it's a infinite regression paradox. For God to exist he had to be created and for that to exist, it would had to of been created and etc... God answers nothing, it's an answer of a lazy, irrational, immature adult.
Religion is entire made up, it has no substance and no actual point. Religion is the belief in God / Gods, we've already agreed on that. God is a concept that is irrational, illogical and immature. God is basically a way of saying, "I give up looking for an answer, so I'll be happy to hold my beliefs over science.", That makes you appear to be an adult holding a security blanket. Deal with it. As I've already said, If science gets to the point where it can prove God, I'll jump on board, but it's never there and has never needed to fall back.
If you actually believe that fine but that still doesn't mean marriage is between a man and woman and it still doesn't mean marriage has anything to do with your religion, which given your hostility, it would seem I've offended.
We should not tolerate religious belief, it's a cancer to logic and maturity. If anyone wants to use a religious argument against me, they MUST prove God exists, other wise I won't listen.
The historical view is wrong. You could of said in the 50's and 60's that the only place for an African American to sit in a bus was at the back due to popular view point, that still doesn't make it correct.
Redefining marriage so you can interject incorrect statements about homosexuality, doesn't give you valid counter points, it shows the intellectual ability of a child.
2) It'll wound the poor, sensitive egos of religious people.
We should not respect religion, it's not a state of mind that is acceptable int 2015, God is dead, grow up and move on. It doesn't hurt the poor in anyway
3) If you want to marry your cousin and you want to fight for it, I'll back you.
4) What? Marriage has nothing to due with the family dynamic. Of course heterosexual couples are more likely to have children, that is biology, not marriage. Of course homosexual couples are more likely to adopt, gain that has nothing to due with marriage, so your three points in this section don't have anything to due with marriage.
5) Being a slut and fucking like crazy, giving birth and having a child, has nothing to due with marriage. Single parents are equality capable of raising a child, the two parent, man and women model, has been dead for more then a decade in every study that has been undertaken.
6. The government point is about fairness and you can't tell one group it's cool to marry and not another. Like I said, if you want to marry your cousin, I'll fight for you to have that right. If you want to marry a goat I'll fight for that right to. It comes down to fairness and if you one group gets a break, another must be awarded that same privilege.
A) I agree, but it's the system we have now, so until it changes we have to support all forms of marriage.
B) They shouldn't be encouraged any more then heterosexual couples. We shouldn't try and force marriage on anyone, that would be wrong. If you want to get married, get married, if not, don't.

Okay then.

The discussion is about marriage, not about having kids. We don't need more people on earth, we need less.

Actually. I have no grammatical error in my reply, so either I struck a nerve because I hurt your sky daddies feelings, or you don't know how to read.
Someone needs nap time and a bottle, it's sad that it's an adult, although with your attitude, more like a 3 year old in the body of an adult.
We should not tolerate religious belief, it's a cancer to logic and maturity. If anyone wants to use a religious argument against me, they MUST prove God exists, other wise I won't listen.

Redefining marriage so you can interject incorrect statements about homosexuality, doesn't give you valid counter points, it shows the intellectual ability of a child.
If you give one group the rights, you must give the other.
2) It'll wound the poor, sensitive egos of religious people.

A) I agree, but it's the system we have now, so until it changes we have to support all forms of marriage.
B) They shouldn't be encouraged any more then heterosexual couples. We shouldn't try and force marriage on anyone, that would be wrong. If you want to get married, get married, if not, don't.
So I still settle back to 0 valid points against.
Except that currently the government is involved and until we step in and demand everything is equal is wont' be.
I'm not enthusiastic or non enthusiastic about it, it doesn't bother me, it shouldn't be stopped and it shouldn't be shunned.
If you want to marry 20 people and you all consent go for it.
