It is when it tells people what [not] to believe.
Fundamental atheists have zero respect for tolerating other people's different belief -- they arrogantly assume theirs is the "correct" one.
Considering Science by definition is amoral where else would they get it from?
Politics?
Philosophy?

Only an idiot attempts to tell another person what they have experienced. Quit being an idiot -- you are smarter then that.
> so now you are saying you have special vision no one else has? Hoe(sic) convenient.
1. Show me _where_ I made the claim that I was the _only_ one who could see??
2. Do you even understand the word: Analogy ??
> which is why we ask for proof.
Proof of what _exactly_? God? As I said before, There is NO proof except experience.
Did you completely fail to understand the analogy that _playing_ the drums IS proof that you _know_ how to play the drums ??
How exactly do you propose Atheists have an experience about something they have no belief in?? They dismiss _all_ actions_ that are needed such as prayer and meditation; their mind is closed. Not even an NDE would convince them that a higher reality exists -- only death, but by then it will be too late.
Nay, the only proof I will give is that "First" contact will happen by 2024.

There is nothing lowly about someone curious to learn. Curiosity is a gift; using your mind is good.
Agreed. Beautiful logic!

Before you get flamed
Dos Doom used @ 320x200 in ModeY, Quake supported Michael Abrash's ModeX @ 320x240.
Doom95 which ran on Windows 95 supported different resolutions.
I played it on my 386SX 16 MHz with the screen shrunk down a few levels. It was silky smooth on the Pentium 90 MHz, and the Pentium Pro 200 MHz (obviously) as was Quake.

Minecraft is the only thing that needs Java.
I'm not going to risk an entire computer for one game.
Besides, I would rather spend time making my own game then playing other people's games.
Anyone playing Minecraft
(I refuse to use Java due to far too many security issues.)
Another gem from betelgeux
You want to see the future of Minecraft all you need to do is look at Flight Simulator.
They had a solid community building planes and terrain and with every release the graphics and flight engine got better. There was some payware but 95% was free.
In Jan 2009, citing financial pressure, the last of the design team for Flight Sim was laid off and the tasks for ongoing development were distributed throughout the rest of the company.
In Feb 2012 Microsoft Flight was released as a free to play game. All previous aircraft, terrain, instruments from previous versions were incompatible. Only a single island of Hawaii and a single aircraft was available. The flight model was simplified to make it easier on the console players. Additional areas to fly in as well as aircraft were available for purchase. Reviews from longterm sim users were unkind to say the least. It was now an arcade game - it simulated nothing and was useless as a learning tool. It was nothing the community wanted or needed.
July 2012 the game was cancelled.
Aug 2013 the XBox.com closure ended the ability to get a new copy of game.
There has been no Flight Sim available from MS since 2012. 2006 was the last actual Sim release honestly. It had been on the market since 1979.
I want to be wrong about this, but MS has a history of not understanding and not listening to it's customers.
The start button that they spent 17 years getting customers used to was removed and they are still don't seem to understand why Win8 isn't the huge success they hoped it would be. In spite of the fact that they have been told time and again that this is a major issue for many users they steadfastly refuse to correct it - promising that it might be there in the next update.
MS knows better than it's users apparently and it will do what it wants like the 800lbs gorilla they are.
That indeed could be the case. As pointed out on Reddit by gooneh
Minecraft is written in Java, and requires the Oracle (formerly Sun) JVM. Jokes and jabs aside, my guess is that MS wants to replace JVM with
.NET under Minecraft, porting from Java to C#. All those 10-to-15 year olds playing Minecraft will be going to college and developing code in 5 or 10 years, and MS would naturally want them using their platform technology, so its a logical investment. Sadly, I would not be suprised to see support for Mac/Linux bit-rot and get dropped over a few years.
