the OVA is finally out i am so exited to watch it

i agree tenjo tenge does have the worst op

i don't have a clue how to change it

its a great anime. one of my favorites because it is so funny

i watched all of rurouni kenshin in one week thats 95 episodes 6 ova's and one movie. now that i look back at it i really need a life.

fate stay night
the one that says touch me softly

well this post isn't really about if god does or doesn't exist its about how people can believe in god. but if you want to talk about his existence thats fine too.

my favorite anime is full metal panic because i love comedys and action and it is sooooooooooo funny especially the fumoffu series

i would have to say nixon or lindo b johnson for the worst

i think it was totally immoral to drop the bombs on japan

for one i also have done some research in the past about this subject and have come to the same conclutions that Tatsumi09 did for many of the same reasons. for one the japanese were willing to surender but since the emperor's saftey wasn't garenteered they didn't surender. the emperor is like a god in japan at the time and most people wouldn't ever consider looseing him. i also don't think it could be considered moral or ethical to bomb a civilian city killing inocent civilians whether it was the americans, germans, or the japanese that did it and i also don't think saying it was war is in anyway a good justification of killing civians.

Aa! Megami-Sama

well to anyone who does believe in god or something according to Freud something is WRONG with you. when you can not solve a problem you turn to a higher power because you are too stupid or incompetent to solve the problem yourself.

i think Urd is sexier than belldandy but i do like belldandy more

elfen lied
school rumble
fruit basket
tenjo tenge
full metal panic (even though they are going to have more episodes i want even more when they are done)
cowboy bebop
trigun

while mangas are usually always better than the anime i prefer to watch the anime because i like to watch things instead of reading them

screw memorization just cheat

Lenin
“Religion is a kind of spiritual gin in which the slaves of capital drown their human shape and their claims to any decent life.Ã¢â‚¬Âť

Religion dulls the pain caused by oppression.

It does nothing to solve the problem; it is a bad attempt to make life more bearable.
1. Salvation from bondage and misery by promised after-life
2. Promises people will be rewarded for their virtue
3. Offers hope of supernatural intervention to solve problems on earth
4. Often justifies social order and a persons place within it

Helps people at the bottom accept their situation.

Karl Marx
As an “opiate of the people,Ã¢â‚¬Âť Marx recognized that religion served a true function in society Ã¢â‚¬â€ś but did not agree with the foundation of that function. As Marx commentator Norman Birnbaum stated, to Marx, “religion [was] a spiritual response to a condition of alienation.Ã¢â‚¬Âť (Ibid 126) Responding to alienation, Marx thought that religion served to uphold the ideologies and cultural systems that foster oppressive capitalism. Thus, “Religion was conceived to be a powerful conservative force that served to perpetuate the domination of one social class at the expense of others.Ã¢â‚¬Âť (Ibid 127). In other words, religion held together the system that oppressed lowerÃ¢â‚¬â€śclass individuals. And so, in Marx’s infamous words, “To abolish religion as the illusory happiness of the people is to demand their real happiness. The demand to give up illusions about the existing state of affairs to the demand to give up a state of affairs which needs illusions. The criticism of religion is therefore in embryo the criticism of the vale of tears, the halo of which is religion.Ã¢â‚¬Âť

Sigmund Freud
Believing in religion: pathological manifestation of a person's psyche
Distorted understanding between self and the environment (developed since childhood)
When encountered limitaions or difficulties, they look for a super being to resolve problems

belldandy because u can't beat an angel

well first off thx for the post i thought you made some intersting points. and to answer your question i don't really know why i want to be religous maybe so i have something to do or because i'm just bored. right now i just want to know how people can have so much faith in something that really can't be proven

i'd go with satsuki because she trys the hardest

I am an atheist and have been for my entire life. While I did attend church for a couple of years when I was like 5 I never really believed in god. Now that I’m a little older I want to find something more to life I guess and religion is a perfect thing to do. It can fill up some free time and should give me a new meaning to life but I just can’t bring myself to believe in god. I think its kinda absurd and stuff but I try and just can’t seem to believe in him. So I was wondering how all those other religious people do it so my question to you is HOW DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?

and tried killing
