And DU, Tresk isn't in complete control yet.. Just because he has his own chat thread (replacing T'bone's). 

Bah, Kaelis.  I can squash him.  He's not around much any more anyway.

And I wreak havoc there already, hehe.

Well, I guess I'll just have to start messin with everyone too.

Yay.

I'm sure they all miss you.

[GI_Admiral 2]

wonder how SWMB is doing

[Mara 29]

Why don't you come and find out?

Bonus if you find me.

[GI_Admiral 2]

Maybe :p

[Mara 29]

I'll be waiting.

And don't worry, if someone bugs you, I'll beat them for you.

[GI_Admiral 2]

Ill check it out sometime :p

[Ayingel 24]

you probably went there when you realized that you couldn't keep up...

put the lime in the coconut and drink them both together....

[Mara 29]

Ill check it out sometime

I'm holding you to that.

[Ayingel 24]

:D you see? now you have to do it. but only when she is online. :D

[Ender 8]

Quit it with the religion bashing. I don't care if we're a minority, prejudice has no place on this forum. [/official modly warning]

We're not the minority. 85% of the U.S. is Christian, contrary to popular belief, and so is most of the rest of the world. ;)

[Ayingel 24]

but that is changing...

[Mara 29]

Yes, but how many are real Christians? Some just say they are and don't practice. Still others just say so just because they believe in some kind of god.

It's sad.

[Ayingel 24]

yeah.

so the thing is, we are a minority. and shrinking...and sometimes growing...

[Mara 29]

Shrinking in the US but growing in the rest of the world.

The most powerful nation in the world should be a good example, sadly we aren't.

[Ayingel 24]

that should go for a lot of things....but it doesn't. we need to "kick it up another notch"

[Tsl 7]

I meant on this forum, which was the given excuse for it being okay to say whatever one wants about us.

[Mara 29]

I meant on this forum, which was the given excuse for it being okay to say whatever one wants about us.

Then let's say whatever we want to about them.

'Cept the fact that we're following in someone else's footsteps and doing so wouldn't be a good mirror to Him. So we just turn the other cheek.

[Ayingel 24]

exactly :D

[Sentrosi 1]

as far as that goes only about 43% of the us are actually practicing christians... and as far as that goes we are not the most powerful nation... power comes from unity and intelligence and our govt doesnt express either of those...

hence why this nation is looked upon as stupid and arrogant... because the govt sucks the rest of the world thinks the US does...

and as far as kicking it up another notch good luck. the govt has screwed things up so bad that kicking it aint gonna work we are gonna have to basically tear down and rebuild

[Drake 53]

China is probably the most powerful nation now and they're only getting stronger.

[Mirax 3]

I don't know that anyone was bashing Christians in here. There was a time when intolerance of non-Christians was nauseating. It's nice that there's more tolerance of varying beliefs on these boards.

Go China!!!! They can make the world buddhists. ;)

[Drake 53]

Those are mostly the Tibetans. As for the rest of China...religion is frowned upon by the government but Christianity is spreading rapidly there.

[Mara 29]

Indeed.

[GI_Admiral 2]

Bah I just lost my whole post.

Sum it all up:

Think Christianity is the biggest religion, but others are catchign up.

Think that Sentrosi's definition of a "powerful" country is completely wrong (no offense). Most will base it on military and economy

If we base it on military US will still be most powerful, however, China is quickly gonna surpass in economy, and China already can screw us over economically and so military kinda is overshadowed by it. China will become most powerful country very soon.

[Sentrosi 1]

ok in all reality our economy sucks and our debt is probably the highest in the world despite the fact that yes our military is one of the best trained in the world...

i mean back in ww1 and ww2 we kicked arse... and helped up the moral of the british troops
