Allah has a definite emphasis on revenge and appeasement
Christian God has a definite emphasis on Grace and Mercy
Re-read your post, but this time think "old testament god". All your differences are new-testament. Christians and muslims are both doing the whole old-testament-god thing. Christians just branched off to believe that jesus was his son, and later on muslims branched off to believe that muhammad was his prophet. Both are split from judaism. The "Father" from christianity is the whatever-god of jews and the allah of muslims.
Oh, and pointing out that it can't be the same god because muslims have murdered non-believers? I'd love to compare the numbers of people killed by each religion in the name of their respective gods, just out of curiosity.
The only difference between God and underpants gnomes or FSM is that the question of God is a central question in philosophy, including discussion of what "God" even means to different people from different real living cultures around the world. Underpants gnomes and FSM are just artificial creations that mock thousands of years of human insight, intuition, art, and culture.
It's called counterexample. The fact that the counterexamples used are funny/mocking (or even rude, to some) doesn't make them any less valid. You're right that the question of gods existing is a central question in philosophy. And counterexample is a technique VERY commonly used in philosophy.
He was going up against this:
There is no evidence for or against X, therefore there should be no belief or disbelief in X.
And he filled in X with FSM instead of God. The fact that one is a "central question in philosophy" and the other isn't is exactly the purpose of counterexample.
This would be the case if the display was only being viewed by one person, and the display knew where that person was looking on the screen. Human eyes can only see much detail in the center of thier gaze. A "full human resolution" monitor of this sort would have to display that level of detail across the entire screen.
You use the word "logic" quite a lot for someone whose arguement is:
There is a flaw in the comparison between FSM and deities.
I know why, but I'm not telling cause it's a secret.
It's a secret because you may not take me seriously.
Therefore there is a flaw in the comparison between FSM and deities.
Don't make a claim if you flat out refuse to back it up because you "don't know me well enough" to back it up. If your only concern is that you won't be taken seriously, consider how little you're taken seriously with only the arguement above. Anything you can say would only improve how seriously you're taken.
...could you -really- not tell i was being sarcastic? i'm one of the most obsessive compulsive standardistas you'll meet (besides a guy named felix, he's worse than me).
(2) It's none of your business who was responsible. Are you some kind of stalker?
Yes, he is. He's been rambling on and on about this for years now. Maybe by 2010 he'll let it drop. Either that or go on a killing spree while screaming "Asa made me do this!!!"
Boardwalk + 2 houses + girlfriend landing on them + her last $300 = No "playtime" for months
That's when you make the game interesting. Think along the lines of "If you give me Marvin Gardens, I'll take off my top." Then you end up winning, and the guy's happy about it.
How many fucking Google ads do you think you deserve?
As many as I feel like putting, since nobody is forced to visit my site, and if there are too many ads for their taste, they're free to leave. I was replying to somebody who said they'd rather have an ad between each section than a seperate one-ad page for each section. But if there are more than four sections, this is impossible if using google for ads.p>
you can send as text/xml, but not as application/xml or application/xml+xhtml. And text/xml is still just text, and invalid for XHTML 1.1 and higher. I'm pretty sure IE still parses text/xml as SGML, too.
But XHTML2 can't be a reality until IE can parse XHTML, or IE loses a lot more market share. (no, it can't, it can parse pretend XHTML that's served as text/html, and you can't serve XHTML 1.1 or XHTML2 as text)

Sadly enough, if the sentence stays worded like that, I don't see anywhere that a comma belongs.

Care to enlighten us pastafarians on this huge logical flaw?
They're "LEGO bricks", not LEGOs. Watch out, or you may get a chair built of LEGOs thrown at you. Oops.

I agree, but I do something similar (not quite as bad) on my site simply because google won't allow more than 3 of their ads on a single page.

What's next?
XHTML2 and CSS3
But XHTML2 can't be a reality until IE can parse XHTML, or IE loses a lot more market share. (no, it can't, it can parse pretend XHTML that's served as text/html, and you can't serve XHTML 1.1 or XHTML2 as text)

As for not speaking well for Java, although not the original meaning, Java has come to be the J in AJAX.It stands for javascript, which is just netscape's version of ECMAscript, and has very little in common with Java.
