Religion and belief in a singular creator are not the same thing. Furthermore, I don't really believe you have any credible way of producing a valid number of 'intellectually curious' individuals who have made the choice to believe in a singular creator versus not.
edit: misunderstanding of mutually exclusive and added some more words.
Just to clarify, the original response was to the original posters claim that God does not exist. My request for him to present his proof to me was not meant as an open attack on atheism or even a critique of it, I was simply speaking to and about one persons beliefs. In any event, I begin to suspect I should have said nothing with this being such an emotional issue for people.
It only takes courage for those who live in areas that are indoctrinated with dense religious ideology's who will suffer consequences for their actions. For most in the western world, it is not such a hard thing to identify oneself with.
edit: original response claimed it took courage to doubt the existence of a creator. It has since edited out to claim it simply takes intellectual curiosity. I would argue that the same intellectual curiosity could have the end result of someone having a belief in a singular creator of reality.
I'd agree, it takes faith to know that there was no creator of the world, the same faith it takes to know there was. Just to clarify, I'm not arguing there's proof that 'God' does exist, I'm arguing there's no proof that 'God' doesn't exist. The original comparison falls short, the world can be proven to be round, not flat.
edit: a thanks in advance to all you enlightened fervent atheists for the down votes.
Yes sir or ma'am. I believe whatever you were trying to convey might have been lost and is not made obvious by your comments position in the responses. The downvotes on your original comment seem to support this theory, but perhaps my reading comprehension is just off today.
You realize that despite the authors sharing the same skin color that they come from different countries, different walks of life, and each have entirely unique perspectives to offer, and that you're marginalizing them just based on one obvious superficial trait, right?
That's pretty close to the truth - people bolting after the seasonal rush is over is the best case scenario - they still want the people do they end up hiring for the period to stay on through the entire period.
Did you not read the article in this post? Or are you just being daft and trying to say something snide about Dell?
The article itself is about switching out quality components for cheaper ones after your first batch gets good reviews. So yes, if Dell is doing the same thing, it follows that yes, they were at one point good, and then they started swapping out for cheaper components.
Still, society generally views playing chess as being nerdy, no matter how involved you are with it. They don't make these distinctions you're making. Whether or not they're accurate in their description is another discussion entirely, but I think we can all understand this in the context of the conversation.
Going to the gym in itself is still not a 'nerdy' activity. All you did was describe going to a gym in a very nerdy way by comparing it to an RPG - you could most likely apply this practice to just about any activity one could do.
edit: I do disagree with that statement of the poster to whom you replied, you can still be a pretty big nerd and go to a gym.
> And in order to be useful, you need to drink everything with that cup.
This is a very important point and really limits the usefulness of this cup. Lots of empty calories that happen from drinking happen on the go at places like bars, restaurants, or coffee shops - are we expecting people to bring their cups with them everywhere and empty out their beverages into their smart cup before drinking?
1. of the most excellent, effective, or desirable type or quality.
best for the most part won't mean different things to different people, but which rapper whom people think is the best is certainly a subjective thing.
What is the intent of the blog post tho, if not just some vanity thing? Are you expecting recruiters to read this, are you forwarding this link to recruiters who send you emails? It feels like what you're saying is most likely not going to reach, or have an effect, on the intended audience.
"The word that comes to mind is playful. This is a book for 5 to 7 year olds. You want it to be playful to capture children's attention and imagination."
To play Devils Advocate, the video was not intended for children. Unless even the kids in the Bay have their hands on fat stacks of cash.
I don't think it's any more accurate to say the average case is having to cycle through ten passwords to login to a site. Generally, I remember my passwords for most sites, and for the few I don't get right on the first try, I'm usually able to get in by the second. And yes, I have more than two passwords I use.
