A lot of people will agree with you here; yet in same the very same forum many of those people will deride Muslims for their practices or speech patterns always thanking Allah for things and blessing the prophet every time they mention him.

There's certainly a double standard at play here.

The only reason I know this is I get a lot of ***from Facebook from them. I don't make it my mission in life to debate Atheists. But when they fill up my news feed it gets old fast.

I try to avoid Facebook unless I actually need to contact someone through it. There's a lot of God flying around my feed and I try very hard to not be that person you're talking about when it comes to friends and family.

This should go over well here:

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/03/ben-carson-gay-choice-prison-115744.html?hp=l4_4

Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon and potential Republican presidential candidate, said Wednesday that “a lot of people who go into prison straight, and when they come out they’re gay.”

The remarks were made on CNN’s “New Day” in response to a question from host Chris Cuomo, who asked if Carson thought being gay was a “choice.”

“Absolutely,” Carson replied.

Asked why, he went on to explain his prison theory. “So did something happen while they were in there?” he said. “Ask yourself that question.”

Carson made waves in 2013 when he compared gay marriage to pedophilia and bestiality in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

“It’s a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what they are. They don’t get to change the definition.”

He later withdrew from a commencement speech at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine after students and staff expressed outrage at the remarks.

“Of course, gay people should have the same rights as everyone else,” Carson told attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2014. “But they don’t get extra rights. They don’t get to redefine marriage.”

What about side kicks my limited knowledge of evil doers is they have a right hand man.

Keeping evil apprentices is always tricky.

Basically you're taking someone you think is worthy and plenty resourceful and naturally inclined toward supervillainy and putting them a mere knife in your back away from all of your power and resources. It's basically the evil version of the need to procreate, and I strongly suggest pushing down that impulse. It never ends well.

Depends on the type of right-hand man you hire.

Are they a Starscream? If so, you're asking for trouble.
A fanboy? Well, what great evil doesn't want to be idolized.
A prodigy? Watch out, the heroes might convert them over.
A wild card? Look out, this person only exists to further chaos. BETRAY BETRAY BETRAY.

Also, always make sure your right hand is actually listening to the evil monologue and not planning to take you out once it's over. If you're at the half-way point of your story, you're pretty much finished.

See, this is where being Lawful Evil comes into play. You build a proper structured environment of evil.

And then you just keep really attractive apprentices and then once they start getting too good at what they do, off them and start over with another really attractive one.

I mean, sure, it may make you a terrible person to just off the person you're sleeping with because they might off you later, but...you're an evil overlord. Isn't that your thing?

Systematically having both a ***, lead hencher, and a plan to deal with internal threats all in one. It's even better if you've managed to get the indoctrinated to your cause. Then they might even willingly die for you.

That's the kind of law and order I'm talking about.

In order to be an Atheist you have to have a smugness about you.

Eh? If we're going to stereotype then at least do it right.

Introducing Sparthy's WHEEL OF ATHEISM. (Patent Pending)

#1. The Ex-religious atheist. Most likely harmed/emotionally assaulted/fed up with religion. Comes from a very religious family, uses atheism to lash out against perceived wrongs. Driven very strongly by emotions.

#2. The Neckbeard. Watched some videos on the internet and is now a master of time and space atheism. Believes him/herself to be superior based on a limited introduction to philosophical ideas. Essentially the other side of the Youtube Jihadist.

#3. The Scientist. An individual who lives by logic and through career choice has arrived at atheism. May or may not give a ***about the philosophical implications of God but sees Science as the most reasonable means to obtain answers. Since God relies on faith, the antithesis of the scientific method, QED atheism.

#4 The Contrarian. Religious nutbags are in no short order so this individual has decided to buck the trend and become an atheist. Enjoys the fact that people hate him/her, has no real desire to discuss the philosophical underpinnings of atheism, indulges in large amounts of counter-culture movements, trolls theists and is most definitely a member of the church of Vegan.

#5 That guy who just literally finished Nietzsche. Can't stop saying God is dead or stringing together other bite-sized catchphrases from history that favor atheism. Believes himself to be in possession of rare knowledge though said works have been available for centuries. Has begun to grow out a beard and 'stache to inherit the powers of philosophy.

Most likely a hipster, enjoys a good dose of nihilism.

That's the kind of law and order I'm talking about.

Lawful Evil is best evil. Nobody likes the selfish Neutrals *** and Chaotics exist just to betray you.

Ideally, you build a cult of personality surrounding yourself and have your minions develop their own reasons for serving you. Given enough time you won't need to pull a lever into a shark pit or execute someone for failing to off the heroes again.... they'll do it themselves.

Or alternatively just pull a Xanatos Gambit and be a plot chessmaster. You know everything, including who's probably going to betray you. Then you off them and stock the open slot with that hero who just crossed the moral event horizon.

"I shall call you Darth...Vader!"
Seriously? Where on Earth did Palpatine get that name from? Is there like a big handbook of Sith names? Like a baby book?

Speaking of beards it is sad that I can't grow a real beard...my dreams of becoming a lumberjack will forever be just dreams !

I'm either clean shaven look 14. Stubble look like a serial killer. Or attempt to grow a beard look like a prepubescent.


No good options !

I can grow a mean porno stache. My beard game less so. Now I just need to work on my porn name and having poorly lit and edited scenes to 70s funk.

The cheesier the porno name the better.

The women are very creative.

Paige Turnah. Carmella Bing. All very good.

And yes there is a legit discussion:
