How are you
Hooow you doin'? Bucurestean 10:03, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Good enough. And you? Dr. Magnus 10:05, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm fine. You don't sound as happy as always. Bucurestean 10:06, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Could it be you are back? In a less aggressive form than your previous stunt?  10:15, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Only to vote in the elections. I will not participate, just cast my vote. And maybe voice my opinion on a few things. Dr. Magnus 10:14, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppet (again) and the block that comes with it
User:ArminBlanche is a confirmed sockpuppet. By the way you reacted (through Pierlot) the last days, you have only confirmed it once more. You have a history of sockpuppet denial. As it is customary, ArminBlanche will be deleted and blocked for infinity, and you will receive a temporary block. The period will depend on the following considerations: Therefore, Wikination chooses to block your account for the next month. This is in accordance to your misdoings and the repetitiveness of them. I know you will as a result hereof not be able to vote in the elections. That's a pity, but it's your damn own fault. Shouldn't have vandalized at this moment. So good luck and goodbye. I hope you realize this is not a personal attack or some sort of vendetta (I wouldn't know what for), but the regular consequence of your wrongdoings. If you want to tell people how you dislike communists (weren't you one of them?), then just tell us. 11:25, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sockpuppetry is not allowed.
 * You broke the first general Wikia regulation: "Be civil to other users at all times."
 * Rules 7 "No personal attacks" and 8 "Be graceful" you did not respect. These "Wikia guidelines" match with our own site regulations.
 * It is not the first time we catch you doing things you're not supposed to be doing. And you know that. You have been a respected editor at times in the past, and I wished you had stayed that way.
 * Who did you know Pierius has acted through me? Pierlot McCrooke 12:12, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Because he writes bombastic and grotesk sentences and speeches and you don't write three sentence without a spelling error. Not meant to insult you it's just true. Why do you get involved in this, Pierlot? Every time somebody, anybody does something stupid, you get involved. You should learn when to stay away, I think. It would certainly earn you votes ;)  12:34, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * He writes great speeches. I am sorry for all that happened Pierlot McCrooke 12:41, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * BTW:You did remember all that nonsense discussions on Fictieve Landen? Theyre no more. Now there is some fictive countries-related editing Pierlot McCrooke 12:59, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Citizen News VI

 * Of course, the voting doesn't apply to you. The other things might be worth taking a look at though :) 07:36, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Welcome back! It's been fine hear but, i see you've been checking up on us! I hope your the commie left-winged perius! Congress has been shaken up and all that! anyway i hope you do good now! Marcus Villanova 13:07, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks man! Yeah, I noticed some changes in our congress. For instance: I am not in it; what more is there to say. And I must say I am glad you finally prosecuted those darn nazi's. Dr. Magnus 13:09, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yay you got your wish there it was like a month block and basnned citizens rights. Why the NSL there a bit morre center-right/commies as the CLP.nm is full commie! Marcus Villanova[[Image:Flag of Lovia Small.png|border|20px]] 13:11, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, the CLP.nm is a fine party yet I prefer the NLS because of their criticism of the United States: others are not critical at all (dare I say they kiss ass?) and I like the NLS because I agree with many of their viewpoints. Dr. Magnus 13:26, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Yea i would join any party that would kill Justin Beiber Lol! Marcus Villanova 13:30, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * And every party that supports nigahiga? - Btw, study your politics again - I'm far leftist, more communist than CPL.nm SjorskingmaWikistad 13:32, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Kill Justin Bieber? Well, it sounds a bit extreme. Just ducktape his mouth and forbid the little bastard to ever sing again would also do the trick! Dr. Magnus 13:37, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

NO it doesn't we need him not alive but not dead get it? lol jk jk but he can't sing and he's an annoyong prick that makes 5 ans 13 year old girls go retarted, but it's not all that bad i kinda look like him (CHeck my talk page) and that's why i get chicks...lol Marcus Villanova 13:40, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

@SW Any party that supports Shane Dawson! Marcus Villanova 13:41, July 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Lol... So it actually pays of to look like the little bastard? How interesting... Well, anyway: I joined the NLS and I hope the party will make it big. My character, the Red Baron, has less then a year to live so I'd better make it count. Dr. Magnus 13:43, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I hope you don't really have a year to live? Why only a year why this whole cancer thing? Marcus Villanova[[Image:Flag of Lovia Small.png|border|20px]] 13:45, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

No not really, I just think I'm to addicted to the site and otherwise I'll never leave. xD Dr. Magnus 13:49, July 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * So you'll kill Donia but make a new charachter? Marcus Villanova[[Image:Flag of Lovia Small.png|border|20px]] 13:51, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Nope. I'll use the character as long as I want and then I kill him off when I am tired of all this stuff. Then I just write the cancer finally got the poor man. So that I won't leave no "loose ends". Of course the Donia Clan will always remain in Lovia. Dr. Magnus 13:53, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

I see.. i'll have to pick up the convo another time mabey in a half-hour beacuse i'll be making a Sports in Lovia page! Marcus Villanova 14:03, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Can you please come at llamada chat Pierlot McCrooke 18:00, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * @sjors:Study your politics, haha, what a statement, but what you say is wrong... And btw Anti-American is not a viewpoint, come-up with an alternative, that would be great... Jon Johnson 08:01, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Anti-American IS a viewpoint. Check-out Cuban politics. There is btw a difference between ideology and viepoint. You basically have one ideology (for me that is communist) and several viewpoints. Seen my program? Don't teach me politics, if you make mistakes yourself. (hope I didn't make a mistake in this comment) SjorskingmaWikistad 08:41, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * And the Justin Bieber statement was a little joke, to show how you can go too far with anti-Americanism. SjorskingmaWikistad 08:44, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * O, and for all the people who think I'm center-right: I'm far-left, not center-right. SjorskingmaWikistad 08:45, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * f you want to teach me a lesson in politics, you have to try harder. And besides we are neo-marxist! Jon Johnson 11:05, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

On terminology
First of all, sorry Pierius I'm using your talkpage for this but since the little discussion is here, I haven't much choice.
 * @Johnson: anti-Americanism is a tendency, or 'viewpoint' if you like, most commonly associated with leftist or environmentalist movements. It is in fact an outing of anti-capitalism.
 * @Sjors: Ideology is a difficult term. Marx - and anyone who calls himself a marxist - was/is against 'ideology'. Of course the meaning over the years shifted. Also the term 'communist' covers a wide variety of thoughts.

I myself believe analysis should be the first step towards change. I dislike 'the American three' (capitalism/neoliberalism/social conservatism) too, but offer an alternative with a strong theoretical base. 11:06, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I totally agree. However, what I don't get, is why Jonson is reacting so strongly towards me. Did I do something wrong? SjorskingmaWikistad 11:20, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not wrong, it is just that he is a constructive guy; he wants answers rather then questions, solutions instead of problems. We can't blame him for that. 11:24, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Constructive? He deleted all my work on Portland. SjorskingmaWikistad 10:16, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Real Sports
Your team in Libertas Real Sports, you think they could also play in our 2011 MSL League? Could you imagine 20 teams! I think also FC Muntegu will be in our league, Deutsch-Lovian Football Club Frößt and one more sucky team will play making it 20! So will Real Sports Play? Marcus Villanova 19:19, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow, 20 teams, sounds like great fun. :D SjorskingmaWikistad 10:12, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Of course it my be in there! It is nice you want to bring Libertas to Lovia. If it weren't for you, all our hard work on that site would have been worthless. VV Magnus Real Sportas could be in there, if you do all the work of course (I am pretty busy u see). Good luck and I'll be watching the progress of the leagues you are working on. You are doing fine, its nice to watch. Nice also to see Ferdi Berghop as one of the topscorers! Dr. Magnus 16:49, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Okay I'll translate the page over and induct them into the 2011 season. Marcus Villanova 19:33, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Fictieve Lnaden
Why did you have blocked yourself at FL wikia? If i can log in again i'll promise to unblock you. You have not to forget the fact that creatpors of wikia's need ehlp 83.161.230.43 17:08, July 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Face it, its all over now. You have to do the work all yourself, for once in your life. For the site to be succesful, to thrive, it has to have an engine, a user who is a constant source of new articles. You, as the creator of the site, are that engine. Not me. I am not gonna write on your site no more. Find others to do it, and put some efford into it yourself. Man up, why won't ya! Dr. Magnus 17:18, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * You clearly dont understand that you were the thriving success form the site. Youre making a very DUMB decison now 83.161.230.43 17:24, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Castle
Pierius, we would like to designate the Emerald Highlands a National Park. Your castle, however, is in the middle of that area. Since you (your character) are dead, we were wondering whether we could do anything with it? The NPS could make it its park HQ; or we could demolish it; or relocate it (perhaps??); or anything else. Please respond asap. Martha Van Ghent 15:48, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * We really need to finish this thing indeed. 16:08, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * It should stand as a musem to Peirus and the higland and how he loved them! Marcus Villanova WLP [[Image:Flag of Lovia Small.png|border|20px]] 16:57, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

The castle now belongs to Ygo August Donia, the baron's oldest son and heir. I am okay with you making the castle the parks HQ. Relocating or demolishing it is not an option. It is of historical and touristic value. Dr. Magnus 18:47, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppet tsunami
See Forum:Wikination. Just wanted to let you know we are discussing your sockpuppetry case. 07:50, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * How nice of you to inform me! I can assure you you got it all wrong, I have nothing to hide and nothing to do with these people. And how could you even think for one minute I could be Honecker? It's ridiculous. Dr. Magnus 09:11, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * How? Because you have been a sockpuppeteer for your entire wiki career? And a denier too. 09:34, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow sheriff, these is aggravating. Seriously, this is a delicate matter. Heavy accusation but I doubt Dimitri would make them if he wasn't convinced. I will retreat and listen to some Beethoven whilst thinking this over... 09:53, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * You go do that, Yuri. Right now I'm listening Supermode - Tell Me Why, another great song. Dr. Magnus 09:55, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * I listen to all kinds of music but the only sounds capable of moving me are to be found in classical compositions. About the accusations: are you really clean? Or is there something Dimi knows and I don't? 09:57, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Dimi has once got mail from Pierius Pierlot McCrooke 09:57, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * He know a lot you and I don't know. He has concocted a crazy theory based on loose sand and feels pretty good about it. He actually believes I am bothe Honecker and Drabo, and says I am sectretly a racist nazi and an evil communist at the same time. You just listen to your music and enjoy. Dr. Magnus 10:00, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * This site council thing is still new to all of us but I will try to judge fair and expect no less of others. At least some form of evidence will need to be provided. 10:07, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have just mailed you, please read it. Also: there is some evidence, in the form of similarities in writing style. Dr. Magnus 10:10, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Intimidating behavior: block
Your account will be blocked for one day, due to intimidating behavior against User:Pierlot at Forum:Wikination. 17:23, October 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * In this case you can count on my support. I find it a good thing that you've admited your deeds. Wrong speculations should be stopped immediately, in case you're not proven guilty, you're not guilty, it's as simple as that. Justice was just doing a little bit better after the abdication of Judge Medvedev, who had led two controversial trials, but now I see the King is attempting to regain his power, by selecting scape-goats. To let the majority decide whether one's guilty or not, is complete nonsense. --Bucu 08:28, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well well well. Errors in this section:
 * the majority does not decide. The site council does, on a fair basis. So far, we haven't decided anything yet.
 * I am not regaining power, I have just given it away to the site council - of which I have only one vote and in which I have only little influence.
 * Pierius has a long history of sockpuppetry. We have evidence for 5+ sockpuppets, and interesting leads to more than ten. There is a serious, heavy basis for this investigation. Allegations that we are "pinning an innocent man down" are therefore totally unfounded. And you, Bucu, should know that.
 * Also, I will look to it that Pierius is not punished for things he did not do. 10:01, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, currently we only have an investigation running. I can imagine it isn't fun for Pierius but one could say his past makes him a little more suspicious than your average user. We should however not tolerate the ungrounded prosecution of dissident elements, this is after all not the Soviet Union.  14:10, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not like I'm the only user here who has ever had a sockpuppet (or two, or three ). What I have done, or have been involved in or suspected of on other websites does not matter. My past on this wikia is nothing out of the ordinary; yes, I have had sockpuppets but I have admitted to them and I have been punished for them. It happened, it was wrong and I am sorry, but I cannot change back my past. I cannot take back the few rules I have broken. Its over and done with, but you still haven't buried it yet. At least Bucurestean sees the madness in this ordeal. Dr. Magnus 14:38, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

Oceana
Didn't you have a good propaganda machine in your humble Hurbanovan house? :) Please push the button, we'll have to need your help, priatel Bucu 20:32, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can count on me always, priatel Alexandru. See my latest image. Dr. Magnus 20:33, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've seen it, it's great! The more the better! Sloboda! Bucu 20:35, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * You could use it, like, somewhere. It probably looks bad but I ain't no pro when it comes to makin' posters. Anyhow, I am glad and humble and the thought I fight the good fight warms my heart, Dr. Magnus 20:37, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see why we need to have another civil war over oceana. Please stop!Marcus Villanova 16:18, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * You do not understand, Marcus, you simply do not understand. What we try is to prevent a civil war from taking place, not cause one. :) Dr. Magnus 16:53, October 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Humm...I see. Marcus Villanova 17:04, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's why Ilava should become governor. He's the only one who understands the Oceana people. If a Lovian comes to power, Oceana people will have hard times, and knowning these revolutionary people, they will do whatever they can to keep their state. Bucu 18:55, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you yet joined the CCPL, priatel? I can't think of any other party more worthy of your support at the moment, Dr. Magnus 19:01, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK . An Oceanan party would be interesting, btw ;) Bucu 19:04, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Though it does sound like a civil war. I do understand Oceana so it doesn't make sense. For Andy to become govenor it's not like he's gonna destroy it he'll help it. I doubt it Andy will rape people of there heritage and culture but probaly enhance it. With Oos as Deputy i'm sure Andy will do alot of what Oos wants to do. Marcus Villanova 20:46, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'm also willing to take some of his environmental ideas, but I've been waiting to years to become governor again (I lost my governorship because my citizen rights were taken away), so I'm gonna fight 'till the bitter end. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 04:49, October 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please aceppt the outcome OWTB. And do not threat with things Pierlot McCrooke 05:34, October 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please write properly, Pierlot. Accept is written with two c's and one p, it's not so hard. Do you never check a setence before you click on the save button? If not then please be so kind to start doing that. Dr. Magnus 15:36, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm sure he is. Now, let's all be polite and quiet and easy. Cool like a Fonzie. 14:10, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Dimi, what all the worrying, we're two great politicians, friends, comrades, so we have debaters, and negotiations going on, it's normal, you know, certain things have come to light! JON  THE DUDE   JOHNSON  14:11, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

And don't get me wrong; it's not you who I insult, its the people that advice you. When you said you would vote for Ilava because that would make one enemy less and you would still have a green deputy, you talked like a true politician. Dr. Magnus 15:06, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * But are you the right person to serve Marcus with advice, Pierlot? Dr. Magnus 15:26, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * There's only ONE person fit! It's.... Magnus the Redeemer! 15:27, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * You got that right! Now I'm off... Dr. Magnus 15:28, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * even without this advice, marcus should vote walden. Voting CCPL as a waldener is against walden principles. Most of the CCPL viewpoints are against walden principles Pierlot McCrooke 15:30, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * sure. Again i'll think about it. Soon I have to campign for a candidate who is up in the polls 70 to 30 percent! Marcus Villanova 15:32, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Religion empoisons everything
Responding to comments posted on Talk:HebdoMag.

Your argument is a common one, and one that is awfully wrong. In 2006, under the Templeton Foundation, an expireriment was done that tested scientifically if praying actually did anything. The result? Being prayed for doesn't help; the Templeton Foundation, one of the largest religious groups in the world, sponsored a study that proved against them! If you really want to go further in depth on this, read The God Delusion. Pages 60-66 (The Great Prayer Experiment). On a side note, Group 3 suffered psychosomatic effects, knowing that they were being prayed for, and hence responsible, straining on their own bodies with the consequent stress.
 * Group 1 - Received prayers, but were not told that they were being prayed for. Recovery was average.
 * Group 2 - Did not receive prayers, and were not told that this was the case. Recovery was average.
 * Group 3 - Received prayers, and were told they were being prayed for. The group "suffered significantly more complications."

It's late for me; I'd best go to sleep. :P Edward Hannis 05:32, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Another Dawkins-fan? The God Delusion is a top piece in my little library too. @Magnus: I think you should read it, because I know you are intelligent enough to understand what it says - contrary to most religious people.  05:57, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

I'll take that as a compiment and read it. Although in general I would diagree with you that most religious people, in your words, aren't intelligent enough to do the same. My great uncle was a priest and one of the brightest and most educated people you'd ever meet; before dementia struck him. Dr. Magnus 06:11, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying religious people lack the competence, but their critical thinking is in most cases paralyzed. If they see the book they go like 'heretic, heretic!' without reasonable arguments. They have been miseducated into non-thought. 06:25, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

It's not always quite as extreme, I do however agree that your religious beliefs can possibly put you in an awkward position sometimes. I do not share the beliefs of atheists but I do respect them as valueble human beings in there own right. As long as they are not on a crusade against religion and dismiss us as intellectual lighweights and uneducated, semi-medieval folk. The big bang theory makes as much sense to me as does Moses splitting the red sea to you. Even though I believe much of the old testement is grossly outdated and\or unjust (the chosen people, God killing their enemies, portrayal of Egyptians as monsters)... I am more for the New Testement; God is Love and Love is God, love and respect each other, be humble before God, be pious and be friendly, be kind and be gentle, do not fight or kill each other. It's not even nearly as violent as atheists tend to claim; that's only the old testement on which the Quran and Talmud are based. Even religious people can progress, advance. We came a long way since the crucifiction of Christ. Man is the measure of all things. Dr. Magnus 06:39, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I can think of a few religious thinkers that don't agree with that statement (man is the measure of all things) but I do since I'm a socialist. Religious people are to me what they were to Marx: victims of a man-made institution. They are not stupid, but kept stupid. Think about the treatment of woman in countries with a sharia? Or maybe the way buddhists handle handicapped children? Man is the measure of all thinks and for that very reason I'm a socialist. 06:45, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

It is easy to name the bad sides of religion yet even easier to name the good sides of religion. For centuries, monks and nuns have teached children to read and write including those of poor farmers. For centuries they have helped the poor, worked the lands and prayed for our immortal souls. It kept people stupid? Is teaching homeless children keeping them stupid, or is taking care of the most vulnerable people in the world in the streets of Calcutta, like Mother Theresa did, a bad thing? Is it wrong to be so kind and forgiving you forgive the man who nearly shot and killed you, as did Pope John Paul II? We are not in any way victims, we are the products of being raised by the values of a book that has been of greater impact, good or bad, then any book ever had on society. We follow the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, a wonderful and admirable man who healed the sick, fed the poor and shared everything he owned with everyone he knew needed it. A carpenter's son who died for our sins and would not have wanted it any other way. We try to live our lives the way he would have wanted us to live it. It's hard and often we fail. But we stand up and try again, because we are driven by compassion and we wish to do good. Godspeed, Dr. Magnus 06:54, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

 * (1) Education is not just learning to write and read those things your teachers want you to write and read; education is learning to think. (2) Religious inspired charity us nice, but charity doesn't solve the problem. Structural changes on theoretic grounds need to be taken. See it like this: a nun teaches a child how to read and then gives it a bible. If the child asks why he and his little sister have nothing to eat and why his daddy died in the civil war, the nun will say something about God's plan and that's that. You might call that education, I call it 'well-intended charity that actually strengthens the current structure by oppressing critical thinking (as opposed to good education) and feeding religious differences'. 07:14, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * In your example you forget to mention the nun is just as poor as the little orphans she takes care off. They often have orphanages in in which they take care of the most vulnerable of children. They feed them and take care of them. They eat the same, simple food. And in their hardship, words of comfort from the bible are a great support for both. They pray for better times, and because they can read and write, they are better prepared for life and have a better chance to get a job when they grow up. Good education? Better to have bad education then no education at all. You forget that often these monks and nuns are volunteers from poor countries themselves. They know hardship and they do all they can to help people. They know what it likes to have nothing, and they do not care for eartly wealth or riches. Like father Damian treating people with leprosy, treating those who other see as outcasts, and later dying as a result of it. Dr. Magnus 07:23, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Better to have good education than education that oppresses emancipation. What's the use of reading and writing if you aren't allowed to freely develop and practice them? I dare to say it is better not to teach than to teach 'to pray and be content with what God has given, to find rest in the situation because in the afterlife all will be better'. Teach them about empowerment of the people, about democracy, about freedom. Religion is in the third world still opium for the masses. 07:28, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

 * Although it may be true that religion can cause happiness (albeit blind one, more of a plasibo), it is important to keep in mind what religion does to us every day as humans: it separates. If you can name three major wars with no religious bases, (I can only really name one, the American Civil War) then I'm impressed. Most conflicts are because of God. By the way, you are atheist, too. For a Hindu, Muslim, aboriginal, American Indian, (or any ancient civilization, while you're at it) you're an atheist. Keep that in mind. The question of God, for you, should start at this: what makes it my God? Theist Agnosticism is a step towards Atheism. Edward Hannis [[File:CogHammer.gif]] 18:02, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

It's easy to name wars that had nothing to do with religion: All had nothing to do with religion, although one could argue in WWII religion may have been a secundary cause. The primary cause of war is territory, power, spreading the own culture and language, things like that. War is in itself a sin to God. Religion can indeed cause happiness. It is not a blind type of happiness nor is it, to put it in your words, a placebo or in any way a replacement for true, genuine happiness. Religion can motivate people to do great things, to cross the globe, to sail the sevens seas, explore and discover, invent and learn. The goal of religion is not to keep people stupid, it is to educate people and give them a sense of moral values and a guide by which they can live their lifes in a good and can be a pathway to a more fulfilling life. I am no atheist, not to a Hindu, Muslim, aboriginal or any of those people. I believe in a different religion then they do, but I respect their religious beliefs. In fact it's nice of you to name muslims because in my point of view, which I share with many, Muslims, Jews and Christians alike worship the same God, albeit we serve Him each in our own, different way. Christianity's Old Testament hails from the Jewish Talmud, the New Testament was later added by the Christians to include the teachings of Jesus, who in term is seen and recognized by the Muslims to have been a prophet and Messenger from God, the last one before Muhammed, as was Moses before Jesus' arrival into the mortal world, in His human form. I respect other peoples religion and religious viewpoints because I see both the differences aswell as the many similarities. I have had great conversations with more liberal muslims who fully agree with me on this. We each worship Him in our own way. I do not see this respect with atheists such as yourself, Hannis. You try to ridicule my religious beliefs, unlike Yuri who actually listens to what I have to say. You should try that aswell friend, and open up to different views. Or are atheists not as openminded and progressive as they claim to be, and do they push their agenda's the same way you say religious people tend to do? Think about it. Dr. Magnus 19:07, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * First World War: had nothing to with religion, just territory and historical borders
 * Second World War: same thing (Hitler was in fact an atheist)
 * Communist Revolutions in Russia
 * Communist Revolutions in China
 * I'd hate to break it to you, but WWI & WWII were set off by religion. The basis of the conflict between Serbs and Ottomans was rooted deep in the fact that they were Christians and Muslims. The conflict would be set off in the Balkan Wars, which in turn led to conflict in Southern Europe in general, and due to alliances, when a catalyst was set off (assassination of Ferdinand), WWI broke out. The conflict and rivalry in WWI made a grumbling Germany, which would seek revenge in WWII. So, religion eventually finds its way to the cause, albeit indirectly, it is still the underlying force.
 * Not that it really matters, but Hitler was not an athiest. To quote from his Mein Kampf, "I sake down on my knees and thanked Heaven out of the fullness of my heart for the favour of having been permitted to live in such a time." To quote from Rudolf Hess, "I know Herr Hitler very well personally and am quite close to him. He ... is religious, a good Catholic." So sorry, but Hitler's one of your own, up to his death he believed in your God.
 * I'm glad you brought up the similarities between the Abrahamic religions. Most religions tend to be similar. Tell me who you think this is:


 * Born December 25 to a Virgin
 * Upon birth, met by three men (sometimes kings)
 * His birth was signaled by a star
 * At age 12, teacher in the temple
 * At age 30, baptized
 * Had 12 disciples, with whom he went around performing miracles such as
 * Walking on water
 * Healing the sick
 * Raising the dead
 * Etc.
 * Was cruxified
 * Dead for three days
 * Resurrected
 * Had nicknames like "Messiah", "The Light", "Alpha & Omega", "The Good Shepherd", etc.
 * Who did you guess? Yes, it was Jesus, but more importantly, it was also HORUS, 3000 BCE. He would even raise El-Azarus from the dead (Lazarus much?). By the way, Jesus is a copied name. Followers of Krishna (who was before Jesus, before you even think of accusing that) had a nickname for him: Jezeus, more commonly, Jeseus.
 * I am ridiculing the Bible, and I do think that it is dumb that grown men would honestly believe it. I think I have the right to ridicule the Bible. Here's an example. Allow me to quote,
 * “He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim ... It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it.” (1 Kings 7:23)
 * According to your book, pi equals 3. And if you dare say that the book is not about math, and that for that time it was very accurate, then I'd accept that point. It would also mean that if the book was good back then, but not as great nowadays, that maybe you should stop reading from it everyday, and stop saying that the book is absolutely holy.
 * This post is getting long, but if you insist to argue, I'll prove to you that you don't get ethics from the Bible, unless you're really evil or plain immoral. Edward Hannis [[File:CogHammer.gif]] 20:48, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ha, the classics. I love discussions like these; I'm all with you on this one Hannis, though I'd like to say that most conflicts are justified by religion so that makes religion more of a tool than the actual cause. Without the religion it would be harder to justify but nationalism does pretty well too.  05:50, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Wow, I'm impressed with all these examples, Hannis, I must say! Just noticed you must have put quite some effort into it, well done. Yes, Yuri, these discussions are just great! Hannis, the first world war was started because of a conflict between Austria-Hungary and Serbia: the Ottoman kingdom, which was known as the Sick old man of Europe and at its downfall in those days, had nothing to do with the start of the war. Of course it took sides, as did almost all nation except for a few that managed to keep their neutrality. Serbia was backed by Russia and Austria-Hungary by Germany who each in term had their allies. It was a war that was bound to happen no matter what and religion was not the cause of it. Neither did it cause the Second World War as Hitler invaded Poland because he saw parts of Poland, France and Denmark as historical German territories that were lost in previous conflicts. Hitler’s goal was to create lebensraum, living space, for the German people. Hatred for minorities had nothing to do with the start of the war, but it did influence some of the horrendous killings the Germans engaged in later during the war. These feelings of hatred where, however, never the reason to start the invasion of other nations. So religion had nothing to do with the start of these wars. Hitler was, in fact, probably an atheist but he never came forward as such because he saw it as an invention of the communists he so hated, in my opinion. He and Eva Braun were married without a religious service or blessing ceremony. The comparison you draw between Jesus, Horus and Krishna, it does not shock me. I was aware of many people that lived before Him that did similar things and deeds. The Lord works in mysterious ways, and since he created the Earth, Heaven and Skies and all that is in them, he also created these people. There must be some sort of devine hand in their actions as well. We are all His children, after all. It is very nice that you tell me that the bible is inaccurate when it comes to math; I was aware of this myself and frankly, I couldn’t care less. In fact it was a priest who once told me the measurements in the bible where often incorrect or outdated, and that Goliath could have never been ten feet tall since the measurements of today have changed in the thousands of years that followed. The Bible is not at all correct in every way, the Bible has its flaws because it was not written by God Himself, it was written by people who followed in His path, by people who wrote down the words of his prophets but often did so years after they had already passed away. It is impossible it can be 100% correct and I am not claiming it is. I always take whatever I read with a grain of salt, and whenever I read about the “chosen people” in the Old Testament my stomach turns from all this arrogance because Jesus told his followers they were ALL God’s children and thus all equal, like sheep in the herd of the Lord. So nobody is better then someone else. There is progression in the Christian faith; the Lord from the Old Testament is a vengeful deity, the Lord of the New Testament is full of love and is the Father to everyone of His creations. I follow this book, believe the words it says, respect the people that it writes about and respect their actions. The bible often gives us stories of people in which they are far from perfect; they can commit adultery, sodomy, murder, theft… it is up to us to make the decision: what it is wrong, and what is right? I get my moral values for a large part from the bible and the rest from personal experience and I am in no way an immoral or blinded man, Hannis. Dr. Magnus 07:40, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Says one amateur Egyptologist. And 'Jesus' is the Greek form of Joshua, a very common Jewish name. --Semyon 12:15, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't doubt there was a fellow named Jesus who was like a hippy avant-la-lettre, telling people to be kind to each other. Fact is that the bible gives four different accounts of Jesus' death; if all four are true then Jesus was born on different locations and days. The reason for this inconsistency? The bible is a collection of writings of different authors who lived in different times. It is rather silly to claim it is in its whole an absolute truth. 12:40, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is because many stories of Jesus were written after He had already passed away. Before they were finally penned down by the remainder of His deciples, or theirs, they were passed trough mouth by mouth, and in that way I think some errors may have slipped in. Because of the impact the bible has on the world, it is an important book. Better said: it is the most important book in the history of the world, because no book before or after the bible ever had the same kind of impact on society as a whole worldwide. Hence, it is important to study the bible into great dept, to carefully examine the bible, and to read it. Of course you will then come across inconsistencies, even mistakes and errors. That's what you get when so many authors write a book. The meaning of it all, has, nonetheless survived trough the ages and the teachings of these holy men will continue to guide people for as long as the earth excists, and mankind. Dr. Magnus 12:49, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you taken in account that the composers of the Good Book weren't entirely neutral? The First Council of Nicaea picked those stories that streghtened their position and that of the emperor (Constantine I believe, though I might miss with an emperor or two). The bible thus not only depicts inaccurate, it only depicts what the governing elite could use. 12:55, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know, the same thing happened to many parts of the Old Testament written by the ancient Israelites during their Babylonian exile as some sort of propoganda for their people, prior to be freed by Cyrus the Great of Persia. That's where the whole "chosen people" nonsense comes from. The same could have well happened in later centuries so that is why I look critical at some parts of the bible. We can each interprit it our own way. Dr. Magnus 13:09, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * ...In the beginning, God created the sky and the earth. The earth was empty and had no form. Darkness covered the ocean, and God's Spirit was moving over the water. Then God said, "Let there be light", and there was light... &#123;&#123;SUBST:User:Aesopos/HT}} 14:42, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is that a serious comment? --Semyon 14:47, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * That is a very serius comment! In fact these are the first sentences of the Old Testament. Adding this text here, means that I am very much surprised to find you all having this kind of converstion here and I take it you are looking deeper into this because you are eager to learn (as I do) and therefore the "verwijzing" naar "light"?

 * the Bible has its flaws because it was not written by God Himself, it was written by people who followed in His path, by people who wrote down the words of his prophets but often did so years after they had already passed away. That's exactly my point, and as you said it yourself, in a major understatement, the Testaments are not testaments, but testaments of the testaments of the testaments of the testaments of the people who claimed that they saw Jesus. The youngest texts of the New Testament are 200 years after Jesus. I can't imagine how you could live your life believing in something that was little more than an exaggerated version of a 2000-year-old game of telephone! Edward Hannis [[File:CogHammer.gif]] 22:27, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * More Biblical fun, this time from Jesus and his best buds.

''We should fear God (Matthew 10:28) ''We should love God (Matthew 22:37) ''There is no fear in love (1 John 4:18)
 * Jesus probably had short-term memory-loss or something. I mean, Jesus contradicts himself in the same chapter! Edward Hannis [[File:CogHammer.gif]] 22:32, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * By that argument, I 'can't imagine how you could live your life believing in' virtually the whole of ancient history. Herodotus' (to choose a random classical author) earliest manuscripts are dated to 500 years after his death. --Semyon 09:48, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * That is a rather lame argument in itself. Consider De Bello Gallico; Caesar clearly had an agenda and in the light of that agenda we can nuance his 'history'. The same counts for the Bible: we must take in account the context in which it came to be. There is also a big difference between 'a colored view of history' and 'a colored view of miracles'. (Note: the comment about context also counts for contemporary publication, just think about negationist books) 16:37, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * All I wanted to say was that it's unfair to judge the Bible more harshly than other texts, just because there is a gap in transmission, when in fact the gap is bigger in other historical works. Judging it by its biases is something completely different, and I'm not arguing against that. --Semyon 18:14, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

I talked to Pierlot and he said my cousin Andrew can adopt Ricky. So now he and Dalia can get married. Horton11 12:46, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Since both you, Dalia and her former husband McCrooke agree, you can both marry Dalia and formally adopt her infant son. Your cousin has my blessing and my permission, as the family patriarch, to marry Dalia. May she give him many sons. Dr. Magnus 12:49, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah! not many Lebruns left though. They either died or moved back to France. But also Prince Andrew Danish family might come. Maybe not the queen but his father and Royal Danish relatives. It might be the biggest wedding in Lovian history!


 * Yes all Villanova's will attend. I think I need to make more Villanova's there are currently only four and one of them is dead. I'll create a mother and sister that way five can attend. Also my Lovian friend Stephen Grimsley will attend as my plus one. Marcus Villanova 21:17, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I've been thinking about publishing your book. What if there would be no company willing to publish the book because they find it too riskay (:p), too controversial, you know, because of it's author and maybe even because of its subject matter.
