Speculation God, GOML
I wouldn't call myself adhering to any ideology, but I'm more of an agnostic-atheist rather than an outright atheist.

My belief is that there's no way to tell if God exists or not as we lack any kind of irrefutable evidence to back up any claim. We can't tell that God exists, but we can't tell that God doesn't exist either nor do we know if there's one god or multiple gods.

There's no evidence. There are no indicators that help any side of the question. Without evidence, there's no way to back up a premise.

However, I do defend that God, as described in Abrahamic religions (such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam), doesn't exist. Those religions describe God as omnipotent, omniscient, merciful and good. If God is exactly as described, wouldn't he have the power to make this world better? Wouldn't he be benevolent and good-nature to rid the world of its evils? Wouldn't he know the solution to all of this world's problems?

I fail to see why such an all-powerful, benevolent entity would ignore the problems of this world and wouldn't use his might to turn it into something good. Therefore, it stands to reason that God, as an omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent being is something that doesn't make sense from a purely logical point of view.

Therefore, I live my life and form my own opinions with atheism in mind. The God described in those religions doesn't and cannot exist in my own point of view.

Also, I don't intend to debate. You're free to believe in what you think is right. So, whether you agree or disagree with me, let's just leave it at that and respect each other.
I agree wholeheartedly; however, the defense to the issue of evil is that humans were granted free will. So I suppose God is like, "haters gonna hate."

I can't really say I'm religious anymore

But most of the world's problems are caused by man

If man cause problems, it's man's job to fix them

So, this, basically:

Sort of.

But as you said, not really here to debate. I lretty much agree with everything you said.

And I respect other peoples' beliefs as well.

How would humanity grow if all our problems were solved for us?

What would we want to achieve if we had everything we wanted?

Eh, probably not, if that would be a technical issue.

Basically just imagine Nana being "reduced" to the level Luma is.

That way she would work fine in both the 3DS version and 8-player Smash, while still keeping somewhat of a 2-in-1 couples character, of course not to the same extent as in Brawl or Melee, but still
But then what's the point?
Yeah, you have the character back in the game, but they're not the character you played as in Melee/Brawl, they're a knockoff of one of the Newcomers.

My view of this whole thing is that the ICs can come back, but not without being changed in some way. If they do come back, all they will bring is the character.
The experience will be left behind.

But that's just me though.
It's perfectly understandable that people would disagree, but this is just my personal reasoning.

They would not bring anything with them that they had before.
In fact, they would bring even less.

Not sure why people confidently pick sides when it comes to religion.

If you're agnostic like me, you sit on the metaphorical bench. Then if a God comes down to declare rapture onto the non-believers, you just jump in with the Theist crowd and get a ticket to heaven.

It's foolproof!




Don't take me seriously.

Old news, never mind.
Turns out I'm just a slowpoke. :079:

Mods, you can delete this, if you would.
Or don't. That's fine too.

I agree with you to an extent. That is why I probably wouldn't like a SoPo.

However, a Luma-fied Nana would still keep something similar to the duo aspect from previous games. I admit it isn't the same, and is undeniably less than a full Nana AI, however I would be much more okay with that than a SoPo or losing them altogether.

Hi everyone! How's it going?

I just made a new wallpaper for my phone. It's based on the Smash 4 Album Cover. What do you think?

Honestly, that is how you should just approach every dilemma. That way, you can never be wrong. What is the worst that can happen? People call you out on being objective? :shades:

I completely agree. Luma-ing Nana or removing her entirely would completely ruin the Ice Climbers experience, because it just... it wouldn't be the same.

I see God as more like a "father" looking down on his creations

He wants them to grow and evolve

So, instead of instantly solving all their problems, which would cause them stagnation

He gives subtle pushes toward the right direction

That way humanity can grow, expand, gain enlightenment

How do you think I make it through life? Having opinions all the time? Pfffffffffft.

Just follow the herd! You can never go wrong if you stick with the majority. :shades:

I SoPose that makes sense.
:troll:

I'm just saying that I, personally, would like the ICs to be the ICs as they were.
Kinda like Mewtwo, Roy, and Lucas.
(Mewtwo is still floaty, Roy is still a Marthy clone, Lucas is still Lucas)

Even Ryu is made to be "Like he was" in SF.

I'd rather not get into the latter.

:popo:
This entirely.

You people DO NOT want to see me get defensive. Quite frankly neither do I.

I prefer to keep the conversation off my faith around those who I don't know the religious beliefs of, or know that they disagree and keep it at a level of respect.

Oh, jeez. Are we seriously talking about religion..?

As a religious person, I think that's my cue to abandon thread and wait for someone to change the subject. :lol:

I disagree.

It wouldn't be the same, you're right. But it wouldn't ruin it either. And I am someone who adored them in the previous games. I would be perfectly okay with Popo and Luma.

I SoPose that makes sense.

I was kind of hoping they would have changed Roy a little more, but I do like how they changed a few things at least.

At the cost of how many innocent lives, livelihoods, and disasters?

That's like a parent letting their pet die because it was their child's responsibility to feed or take care of it, to teach them the consequences. ;P

Yeah, exactly. This is why I generally don't talk about religion.

I do respect other people's views though.

Currently reading through Stephen King's It. It's good, although the chapter I'm currently on is a huge ordeal.

Also if God does exist I have already secured my spot in hell. So that would be bad.

Again, to clarify, I respect everyone else's beliefs and I hope you all do the same.

Completely random question but if I were to set up a Cards Against Humanity game on Xyzzy this weekend, would anyone be interested?
