Posting is now MUCH faster!
We've made posting much faster now. Test it out. When you submit a post your post will now instantly appear and you will be automatically brought back to the thread and post. In the past you would submit a post and be brought to a screen that asked you where you wanted to go next. That screen was annoying and unnecessary.

Over 700 new games have been installed
Over 700 new games have been installed bringing the grand total of games in our arcade at over 1,500. If you find any games to be broken or inappropriate please report them to me. It would be helpful if you included a detailed explanation as to how you feel the game is not working properly or how it is inappropriate.
And don't forget you can add games to your favorites so you don't have to search for them every time you want to play them. With over 1,500 games it can be quite frustrating if you lose track of the name of your favorite games. I hope you enjoy them!

How did you stop believing?
My favorite atheist story, so far, comes form Ricky Gervais.
http://www.vido1.com/QWxEFeSdVMtN1MW1WU ... and-being-
I wish my de-conversion story was as elegant as that.
For me, there was no catalyzing moment that stands out clearly. I remember that the last time i actually tried to believe was in 7th grade. i was outside, looking at the stars, and i started speaking to the sky. I promised that i would try to pray once a week, just to try to keep in touch, because i thought i really hadn't been doing my due dilligence in regards to flattering god about how great he was.
That was the last time i can remember thinking i was actually speaking to god. Then, i just started to make connections as i learned things. They used to ACTUALLY believe that Zeus was real. They didn't treat the subject like mythology. That was their god. Being a science fiction kid, i thought, well what happens in seven hundred years and humanity has to re-build after the alien invasion and they come across the bible? They will look at that and say, they actually BELIEVED that this guy was a god!
I think it was empathy, the ability to put myself in other people's shoes, that told me there was no god. Every practicioner of every religion thinks they are following the truth. The ONLY truth. They can't all be right. These ...Read More...
