    Are Playing Cards Evil ???

    No, I don't think it's entirely valid. You're also apparently working off the assumption that Tarot cards have always been about fortune telling. The cards that the modern version of tarot were based on were playing cards. Look up the game "tarrocchi". It wasn't until some centuries later that...

    Critics of atheism please come forward.

    One has to have a TV show to evangelize? It's the same thing as proselytizing, really. They are synonymous, the difference being that evangelical has a slightly more Christian connotation in modern usage (and, sometime atheist proselytizing is just as obnoxious as Christian proselytizing, so the...

    Persecuted Catholics in Iraq

    I think you're taking this far too personally. Do you think it's inappropriate for someone to criticize Islam, or to criticize Muslims when they do things that appear to be un-Islamic? I'm just asking a question, and your response appears very defensive to me, and I don't understand why. I...

    Critics of atheism please come forward.

    There's nothing wrong with atheism. The problem is the atheists who seem to have nothing better to do with their time than talk about how dreadfully awful religion is and how atheism is so much smarter. Atheists sometimes look down on theists and fancy themselves as being smarter than theists...

    Ah, well I suppose that an indicator of the level of science we're at in this discussion. Human - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Humans are a species of mammal. Mammals are animals. Just because we see ourselves as being better or smarter than other animals doesn't put us in a totally...

    Are Playing Cards Evil ???

    Maybe if you want real facts you should do some real research into the history of playing cards, the Tarrochi, and the Rider-Waite. Because right now all you've presented is little bits of fact put together in a way--laden with ridiculous conspiracies that is--that makes them simply false.

    Indeed. I think it would be best if we got back to the topic. Seriously, if you want to talk about the war, please take it outside.

    That's like god-moding, though. Not as fun. =D

    Popcorn = awesomeness I like to melt peanut butter over it and mix in cinnamon and honey roasted peanuts! YUM!

    Are Playing Cards Evil ???

    So what? Tarrochi cards were originally playing cards, and didn't become "fortune telling" cards until centuries later, after modern playing cards were in use. Modern Tarot cards as fortune telling devices were also far different aesthetically than the original Tarrochi cards. So, again I say...
