Welcome to the Global Right Alliance's forums!

Firstly, you can only see a very limited amount of the forums at the moment. You will be able to see the full forums and properly participate in our region and its community when you register.

Join our Community

Now, on to the region itself. Don't let the name, specifically the "Right", fool you. We've got members from across the political spectrum, and our political parties have always reflected this. The Global Right Alliance (GRA), as primarily a gameplay region, has been everything from an anarchy to a monarchy to a homegrown rotatorship. The region has had such governments because of its culture, which adores political intrigue and thrives on confrontation. With the increase of the region's population, many veterans have returned. It is the beginning of a new Global Right Alliance and a new government system.

I know the forums can be quite intimidating; there's people who have been here for nearly a decade and have over 10,000 posts. However, we welcome new members and encourage them to get involved. If you want help finding your way around, we have resources to help you to get on your way.

Do not put a question mark where God put an exclamation point. Posts: 703 Group: Resident Member #99 Joined: September 3, 2005	Only thing more fun than punishing commies! I like the "Origin of Species" beatdown voted for all of 'em though.

Irritant Posts: 768 Group: Resident Member #141 Joined: October 31, 2005	Joe Bobs Mar 24 2006, 04:37 PM Wrong! I have both empirical and rational evidence for that. all the religious people I've known have a degree of blind faith, and I relaise that the ability to believe without either empirical or rational evidence (for which there is neither in believing in God) requires blind faith. The Ontological arguement...Kant and Hume demolished that but its still the most convincing "evidence" in saying "God exists"- a meaningless statement nonetheless.

GRADF High General \| FRA Arch Chancellor Posts: 10,045 Group: The Architect Member #179 Joined: January 3, 2006 Nation name: Joe Bobs	True, very true. The idea that saying "God exists" has no value and reveals no truth. So there is no point discussing it then! haha! I like that. About 3000 years of philosophy destroyed in one sentence.

Posts: 703 Group: Resident Member #99 Joined: September 3, 2005	The Ruescher Empire Mar 23 2006, 02:50 PM Lol well at least Uropa is honest. If someone does get off something witty he usually rebuttles and its all good, so far Gol has made petty insults at Uropa. No I haven't. He has been flaming me solely because he dislikes me. And I do believe all YOU have been doing is sucking up to him every time he makes a snide remark.

And I was over-generalising. Perhaps I should say almost every intellectual argument. Or any argument that a theist actually includes aspects of faith. Otherwise the theist is indistinguishable from the atheist. It also appears the ego of Joe Bobs is indistinguishable with that of U-Ropa. golgoroth. if you want to insult me, i lay down this challenge: i will beat you in any arguement, on any subject relating to social sciences or religions, in public, on these boards. if i lose, i will cease posting, if you lose, you will do the same. do you have the testicles? It is not that I lack testicles, it's that I'm not stupid enough to take such a dare and lose my posting priveleges. I merely want a truce. You stop being a jerk to me, I'll stop making pathetic comebacks. Everybody wins

I don't doubt that you're a better debater than I am, but you can be rather arrogant about it <_<

Good point. Would Joan of Arc have asked for a truce? Surely faith should ensure your victory to defeat the evil atheists, Golgoroth?

Good point. Would Joan of Arc have asked for a truce? Surely faith should ensure your victory to defeat the evil atheists, Golgoroth? Were my faith at stake, most likely. But there's one big difference their. God would be intervening in free choice, which is also the reason he doesn't just appear and let everybody know he's real. Would it not be asking for a miracle if I asked to suddenly know everything there is to know about apologetics? EDIT: And anyways, U-Ropa isn't an atheist. He seems to enjoy leaving everybody guessing as to what he believes, but he's said that he's religious

If not, can anyone else? And U-ropa, how atheist are you then? Do you disbelieve any God or just the Judo-Christian God?

I'm not attacking them, merely wondering what they are. Do you not wish to divulge this information?
