UA, you're a freak anyway. Colors aren't for looks, they're to help differentiate pieces of code from each other. For those of us who aren't freaks.

You have yet to explain how homosexuality is against God's plan.

Fallout 3 in General

The rights to the Fallout universe (excepting the possiblity of a MMORPG) has been licensed by Bethesda Softworks, creators of Daggerfall and Morrowind.
According to this interview, they intend on making a Fallout 3. More power to them, but may they be infected with FEV if it sucks.

This apparently puts an end to rumors that Troika or some other studio would get the franchise. It also apparently ends the 'nearly completed' F3 project "Van Buren." More's the pity.

You know, Overwhelming, you haven't yet proven that homosexuality is outside of God's plan. Adam and Eve may have been a man and a woman, but they also did not fly, use computers, travel outside a small area, plow the earth, or many other things we take for granted. Are these sins, just because some ancient story doesn't describe them?

Your entire argument is "the Bible forbids homosexuality wherever it mentions sin because homosexuality is evil." It is you who is interpreting the Bible to your own ends, as are we are; it is an extremely vague and provincial work.

The reason that it was more acceptable to the man that his concubine be raped than his visitors is threefold. First, women were considered as property. Second, as mentioned early, it was considered much more shameful to rape a man because it was to treat them as a woman. Third, Mosaic Judaism puts much weight on treatment of strangers. It's less terrible to rape one of your own than a stranger, in their moral universe.

Kel, re "nakedness": Remember Genesis 9:20-27. It's considered a terrible thing to even see your father naked, much less have sex with him. "uncover the nakedness" is likely literal. Which would also incidentally ban incest, I'd assume.

I ascribe little inspired quality to the Abrahamic Bible. More meaningful to me are the great texts Tao te Ching and Chuang-tse, in addition to the eternal Principia Discordia.

"Homosexuality is wrong! It might not be mentioned in all of these places, but it's wrong, so that's probably part of it!"

You can't say "it might have included homosexuality" as part of your argument. I could as easily say that the wrongs committed by Sodom involved wearing silly hats. And you can't use Romans to retroactively impose Christian morality on pre-Christian scripture.

And your concordance is pointless. It's just showing what bits of the English translation correspond to what Hebrew; it's not showing a word-by-word translation of the Hebrew.

I'M GOING TO KABOOM IN YOUR FACE

Seriously, there's no reason to release a one-dungeon wangparty chock full of boring monsters. If anyone's really interested in playing a scenario like that, they can take fifteen minutes and make it themselves.

This is what, only the fourth third-party BoA scenario? For everyone's sake, please, make it less wangly.

The Hell Law says that Hell is reserved exclusively for them that believe in it. Further, the lowest Rung in Hell is reserved for them that believe in it on the supposition that they'll go there if they don't.

Illuminatus!

The greatest series ever penned. When I first read "The Eye In The Pyramid," I literally went mildly insane for a few days.

Most of the Cthulhu Mythos literature is pretty good, too. "At the Mountains of Madness" is great.

I want either a Lovecraft CRPG or a Hindu one. I may make that one of my myriad post-Pyg projects, after I've made some headway into Legends.

Remember, reproduction has been for many people a duty throughout history. It's not until relatively recently that people could actually seek out sexual compatibility.

If God says no to homosexualism, He has a good reason for it.
Here's one. Unprotected anal intercourse has a higher risk of spreading sexually transmitted infections. Most sexual morality laws originated from fear of STIs.

Today we have condoms, and many heterosexuals engage in anal intercourse as well. The point is moot, and the prohibition of homosexuality is as outdated as the prohibition of shellfish. More so, in fact, because shellfish is still pretty dangerous.

As I said over in BoA, Vogel would have to be a total, slobbery, incompetent idiot to make Avernum 4.

So it'll be out pretty soon, I figure.

Also, my prediction is that it's just going to be a NEW FANCY Stop Rentar. Vogel has the storywriting skills of an overactive nine-year-old.

I plan on inventing a time machine so I can go back in time and throw Ayn Rand off a dam so she never has a chance to inspire hundreds of thousands of slobbery objectivist imbeciles.

Also, it's all about the Asimov.

Note that Alec is not me, contrary to popular belief, and he was reasonably polite.

More polite than a garden-variety fanatic deserves, in my opinion.

Oh, and nice attempt to dodge everything Alec said.
