  1. When a Jew (most of the converts were Jews at this time) confessed his belief in Christ, his family would disown him. People would look down on him. He was excomunicated by society, if you will.

     

    Ananias and Sapphira saw that people who did this were honoured, and thought that would be a good idea.

     

    So you're saying that that Ananias and Sapphira decided to be excommunicated from society in order to gain praise from a loony pseudo-jewish sect? Do you really not understand the story?

     

    The point is that the apostles had appointed themselves god's terrestrial distributors of wealth, as you admitted. So Ananias and Sapphira sold their own possessions and donated to this cult, yet god was supposedly pissed because they kept some for themselves, so "god" kills them....even if you want to pretend that god killed them for only lying, does it seem an appropriate response? Killing them after they had donated to this unpopular cult?

     

    I said before that God does not like phony Christians.

    How is this different than any other intolerant and pseudo-fascist doctrine in history? You people seem to take delight in not thinking about anything that might possibly depart from your book of ancient fairy tales.

  2. Issac Newton believed in God. Even Einstein, while he did not believe in the God of the Bible, believed someone must have started the universe.

    Einstein was an atheist and never said that outside involvement created the universe. Newton did believe in god....and he also thought alchemy was real. He also refused to publish most of his work while he was alive because he was afraid the catholic (christian) church would go after him.

     

    While most of your statements were intellectually insulting, that one I couldn't let go unopposed.

  3. I'm starting a thread because it's annoying to have a discussion like this in the update section.

     

     

    When all's said and done atiesm is a religion. Athiesm's theory on the origin of the universe is Evolution.

     

    This simply isn't true, evolution cannot be used to explain the origins of the universe, it can only explain how life developed once the universe had already formed. Atheists have many different hypotheses on how the universe formed, from spontaneous combustion to the universe never having a beginning, being only an endless series of contraction and expansion. Definitively stating that atheism has only one idea on the origins of the universe is just wrong.

     

     

    When it comes down to it we will all find out the answer to this when we die and so we should focus on how we can be better people to each other in the present.

     

    People who think they know the will of god have been the most violent and resistant to education in human history. It will be impossible for humanity to progress further as long as there are people who think god wants them to throw acid at women who won't marry them.

     

    Athiesm is a religion based on the pre-supposition that there is no God.

    If I say there's a microscopic teapot orbiting Jupiter that sends thoughts into our minds and you don't think that exists, are you then part of an anti-teapotist religion?

  4. As expected, the "choppyness" is because of low FPS because it was being recorded. It's fluid in-game. If that's your only argument AGAINST the in-game movie, you're up for a treat may it ever get released... Those darn SFX effects. Where are they?

    Alright then, I retract my argument.


  5. No, you're just assuming that everyone has the same standards that you do.

     

    The BIK is supposed to represent a flashback, a departure from the present. The BIK more clearly demonstrates that and is much more fluid and dynamic than the choppy in-game version.

     

    Oh, one more thing: why is this even being considered for inclusion in RCM? This isn't a restoration whatsoever, nor a bug fix.


  6. Yeah, I know the site moderators are terrible, but still, why hasn't any RCM material been uploaded since 1.6? Some people seem to think that that is the final version.


  7. Gaah, I couldn't remove the music 100% without making bao sound like he's constipated. veryangry.gif

    I did manage suppress the music a wee bit successfully, but most people would still find it jarring to have bao's speech have a sound track.

     

    FTR, I'd consider using these lines in a mod, whether you voice it or not. Dialog & Plot > VO's


  8. Suggestion: There's no need to overwrite things from the original game! You can use the Hidden Complex from Nar Shaddaa Docks as the place where you fight Dessicus and as the one which he sets on fire. I mean, I love the GenoHaradan plot, but I also always enjoy the original plot from Nar Shaddaa.

    Where did LoH ever say he's going to overwrite the original plot? All he said was that the Exchange plot is a lead- in for the Genoharadan...which implies, to me, that the only thing that will be changed is the Jekk Jekk Tar sequence.
