So far:
Die hard Christians at school: I told them I was agnostic, and that I believed in myself more than any invisible men up in the sky. And then, when they said they were going to pray for me, I said "Wow, with so many people praying about me, you'd think I was Jesus."
Work: Told my boss that I was going to Texas from Dec. 21 to Jan. 2nd, and while he glared bloody murder at me, he cant do a darn thing. Cause while I'm 18, I'm still considered a minor while in high school and living in my dad's house. He cant touch me.
My dad: I ranted too much about a mangaer I dislike at BBV, and he starts ranting at me about responsability. His back was turned to me and I wandered off into the kitchen while I could still hear him lecturing. I didnt even listen to any of it.
More escapades to come!
And then punch into the air and shout PIZOWNED

I dont mean to offend you guys here if you have a god and like that god too. I'm just tired of people telling me I'm condemned because I dont think like them.
In some weird way, I might be a hypocrite. But know what? I'm not caring about that now, cause my goal is not to spread peace and harmony, its to piss people off.

You want to really piss them off? Tell them that their God thinks pi is exactly three.

From 1 Kings, 7:23
And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
Given the information above, we have a circle with the following properties:
Diameter of the circle: 10 cubits, so radius is 5 cubits
Circumfrence of the circle: 30 cubits.
circumfrence = 2*pi*radius
pi= circumfrence / (2*radius)
pi= 30 / ( 2 * 5 )
pi= 3
God's value of pi is exactly three.

I guess that's something we have in common.
I'll tell you this: My beliefs will be SERIOUSLY questioned when:
A: Scientist prove that matter of all kinds are actually produced naturally, from empty space.
B: Scientists document that completely sterile, lifeless water produces single celled organisms.
I just think it's more likely that we were made not that we are an entirely random thing.

The Bible is the word of God. They're God's numbers. I'm not arguing for or against any any religion. I'm simply pointing out what's there in the Bible. God's value of pi is 3.

Unfortunately, around here, everyone is allowed to take constant jabs at Christianity, constantly try saying how them being athiests is correct, and there are no repercussions for it. But God help anyone who tries to go against them.
And Karnaj, your equation isn't relevant since you have no idea exactly how much a cubit is.

Densetsu was listening to Cher while typing:

It doesn't matter. As long as you use the same units throughout the equation, you will get the exact same value of pi.
Try it. Instead of cubits, use the same numbers in feet. Then meters.
Go on, I'll wait.

...I thought so.

Tell me that was a pun, it was too funny not to be.
Myself, I think all religions are the same. Its just the structure and ceremonies that are different. I got tired of such structure, so I declared myself agnostic. I know there's a higher power, but to encompass that power into one ideal is a bit too much for me. I think that I have a good idea, and I dont need someone telling me how to think.
Or maybe, I've just not had much luck with churches.
Azakias shrugs.
Anyway, back to the topic of this thread. Anyone have any idea how I can make more people mad?

And I was all like 'Oh yeah?' and Rodent King was all like:
Isn't being agnostic? Believing that there is a god, but you don't know/care about it?
Agnostic is saying that one does not have enough information, or is not willing to, make a decision about whether or not a higher power exists.
Atheism is saying that, "I know that there is no higher power".
So, about what you said, yes.
I respect agnostics quite a lot, but not the same for Atheists.
Azakias: just tell the Turbo Christians, "Thanks for your concern - when I meet God I'll be sure to tell them what a good Christian you are." With any luck they'll walk off slightly confused but happy - and should leave you alone.
Karnaj/Densetsu: A cubit is generally 18 inches.
Rodent: Purpose versus Process - God created existance; God created existance through the Big Bang (Last time I heard about the Big Bang was too long ago for me to know enough about it).
Or think this way - You can fix a car, but how would you do it?

It makes absolutely no difference. I could've said, "instead of 30 cubits, let's say it's 30 nanometers or 30 light-years," and pi would've still been 3, based on those numbers.
Pi is a constant. IT NEVER EVER CHANGES. The units mean absolutely jack shit when using it.

I agree, as long as the units are the same in all parts (instead of like r = 5 cubits and c = 30 inches) it makes no difference - I was just bored so I went and looked it up.

From the book of Densetsu, chapter 3, verse 16:
So they rounded to 3. You usually round to 3.14.
No, they didn't. *sigh*
If you've been through a decent high school cirriculum, you should've learned algebriac manipulation at some point.
The equation for finding the circumfrence of a circle is as follows:
C = 2*pi*R, where C is the circumfrence, R is the radius, and pi is 3.1415927...ad infinitum. So let's plug in 5 cubits for the radius, and see what we get.
You get roughly 31.42. Not even close. OK, so let's try solving for the radius. That would give us the equation R = C / (2*pi), and put thirty in for C. R = 4.77. Again, that's not even close.
Regardless, the value of pi is never given. Only the dimensions of this alleged circle are stated, and THAT gives the value of pi to be exactly three. There's no rounding done on their part.

man is.
the world is a house surrounding man.
the sun is whatever is Really Out There(tm).
there are windows from the house, so you can see outside, and what is Reall Out There(tm.)
different religions are different window dressings. some are attractive, some aren't quite as pretty, but are still functional, some windows have no curtains at all.
you can still look through any window and see some light.
so ends my metaphor.

Sorry, but you aren't the first person to use that metaphor. It's a good one though. Some people go further and say that all religions see some of the light, but theirs sees all of it.
If that's true than which one is it?
I, of course, don't think that any religion (even my own) sees all the light. But that is my opinion.
