Ummm... Point of interest; If your beliefs depend entirely on what people before you have believed, then they're not really your beliefs. If somebody has a hard time believing that an all-powerful,...

I really want to think of something clever to add, but I think Lykren and Zacheir hit it right on the head.
I will say that using difficult or pedantic language isn't a straight good or bad thing....
This thread is 31 pages long, so I'm probably restating what's been said. Nonetheless, I am compelled to go on a rant, because people are stupid.
Disregarding the fact that there is no such thing...
"Miss Tadis. We weren't expecting to hear from you this soon. How goes the hunt?"
"You set me up, Vexal"
"Beg your pardon?"
"Damn right, you 'beg my pardon.' At what point were you planning...

Ah, I changed the wording and the conjugation changed with it.
Fixed. Thanks for the feedback.
I don't usually write poetry, but here is something about space.
Stare into the void,
and it stares back into you.
Your brain cannot comprehend;
it simply misconstrues.
A little bit of...
Trying something new, and gauging interest for it. I'm opening up a story with an excerpt from a chatlog. For some context, this is for a detective story that takes place in the future, at the advent...
"Humanitarianism is the expression of stupidity and cowardice."
"I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature."
"The victor will never be asked if he told the truth."
Hitler had...
If you intend on eventually publishing this, you'll definitely need to brush up on your English grammar. (It's good that you recognize that its something you need to work on.)
For example, your...
Treasure planet! 2002 movie has aged pretty darn well! I forgot how good it is.
8/10 They could have done more with the cyborg's moral ambiguity. As it stands, he just sort of spontaneously...

Apparently, Google has picked up on my discussion of this book.
Ha ha, yeah, I was aware of all that.
The thing about it, though, is that any ethical dilemma this book presents is ruined by the fact that, at its core, it doesn't make sense :P
What I mean is...
But DNA is complicated! And fascinating! And awesome! Even if the structure of a strand of DNA isn't exactly overly complex, isn't a computer nothing more than 1s and 0s? And yet, after living...
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you knew I was making a joke there
An excerpt from an old poem I dug up. I didn't like my english teacher much. We had to write a bunch of poems, but we never got the chance to write stories. I preferred prose over poetry, so I...
She yawned and stretched her arms, walking across the room to her closet.
I like my villains the way I like my DNA strands: Complex, fascinating, and composed of DNA. :)
It's nice to have someone else who agrees with me about the father. (I was starting to wonder if...
You know, I think I need to go back and reread this book. It's quite possible I'm exaggerating the role that the cloning played in the story.
I guess I can understand why others would like the...
What does that have to do with harvesting thought? Although we can't assume for sure that Morpheus is telling the truth, there's no evidence that contradicts his version of the story; The robots are...
...Okay... That was virtually incomprehensible. The fact that the AI are the good guys has nothing to do with the fact that they are artificial. It's never stated that the machines in the matrix were...
Yeah, but you can't feed people pig excrement and rotten protein. It's not like the clones can photosynthesize or something.
Also, I'm not sure where the consciousness thing in the Matrix is...
Okay, we're leaning back into the same argument again; Just because horrible things DO happen does not mean the author can rely on the "Humans aren't logical" excuse to explain why nobody noticed the...
I'm not offended by the author's mistake; Like I said before, I'm offended by the fact that an author thought so little of my age group that she could sneak that glaring mistake past, and that she...
Once again, you're acting like I'm the one being a gloating, big-headed pedant, when you're throwing in outdated Greek phrases, nitpicking Aristotle, and, of course, crafting this eloquently...
