It sickens me to see people preaching such falsities day after day... Preying on those lacking in self confidence, free will with little or no drive in life. These people plant their insidious seed of hope in their mind. Twisting and corrupting them. Throwing a veil of lies in their face and telling them their life can be so much better if only you let yourself believe. They are like vultures in this sense. They feed on the weak, the vulnerable...they take advantage of their low self esteem, their insecurities and attempt to mold them into the "faithful".....

bravo, Im gonna use that in my website if thats ok with you :D

Very well said, religion is a brainwashing agent.

my god is the same as yahweh and allah. i believe god is more of a lifeforce and our souls are merely a piece of this vast lifeforce. I believe in karma ,yin and yang as well as the ten commandments. i believe in reincarnation to be when your body breaksdown into the soil and your genetic code becomes plant food. you don't actually get to come back but you do get to be a part of new life. i believe "hell" to be as if you never existed not infinity in fire. i believe satan to be nothing more than negative energy or chaos. God is reason and positive energy.

I believe the catholic church itself (not the followers) has corrupted christianity since it's concept by way of altering it's teachings. i believe saturday is the sabbath and to keep it holy but i am not jewish nor adventist. SUNday is for SUN gods. I don't believe anyone should force their beliefs on anyone. judge not less ye be judged. i believe reality is what you make-believe it is and normality is only mass histeria. i don't believe god is male or female. what would god need with reproductive organs? i only refer to god as him out of traditional habit. i believe all religions to be right. They all have the same basic rules just different perceptions. i believe it's the end of the world as we know it and i feel fine.

religion doesn't make you blind. false truths make you blind. i agree that there is a lot of brainwashing with modern christianity. that is why i avoid churches. besides that i haven't found one that shares all my beliefs. i believe that if you want to be a christian all you need is a bible to reflect on and to maintain a personal relationship with god. i believe god created all things by way of evolution. something had to miake and mix the gases that made the big bang.

I agree 100%. Note though that I don't mind at all if people are religious, as long as they don't talk to me about it, and tell me how "good" they feel :p

[edit] Oh and I forgot; I am completely atheist. I find the whole idea of a god or higher power completely absurd, to be honest. [/edit]

I agree on that, I was an avid consumer of Greek Mithology when I was a kid (hint below) ... :D

P.S.: Look at my nickname... my last name is Ares... for real... ;)

nah, keldyn has the coolest last name in the world if you're into reading dragonlance

hehehehe... nope... I'm not in that reading... going to search about.... ;)

Anyways, I'm not saying I have a cool name.... just stated the cause for my interest in Greek Mithology... :p

I think i'm agnostic myself. I tend to look at it both ways, if god exists, or if he doesn't, and why. Though, i think there's more proof tlo the non-existence of God. You can't say God doesn't exist because you think so, but then again, you also just can't say God exists because the bible says so, or any other sacred book says so, because i bet most of the sacred books themselves have no proof or proper authority.

I am a Bhuddist, and i think Bhuddism is one of the religions which teaches you to be for yourself, have a neutral mind, and it doesn't force you to beleive in something. My whole family is Bhuddist, so are most of the people here, because Bhuddism is Thailand's major religion. :)

I will raise them up a Prophet

from among their brethren,

like unto thee,

and I will put my words in his mouth;

and he shall speak unto them

all that I shall command him

( HOLY BIBLE ) Deuteronomy 18:18

SAY: DO YOU SEE? WHETHER THIS MESSAGE BE FROM ALLAH

(God Almighty), AND YET YOU REJECT IT, AND A WITNESS FROM

AMONG THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL BORE WITNESS OF ONE LIKE

HIM......"

(SURA AHQAF) Holy Quran 46:10

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
