    It was more like "make a description of ONE Organization member" and most people were putting down juvenille ones (Zexion = emo, etc.), so I wouldn't worry.

    I think this might get closed, but the other thread only asked for ONE description of ONE OrgXIII member whereas this one asks for all....anyway, my analysis stays the same. (Please note I was a little cracked at the time)

    Xemnas: Desperate (for an identity), confused, angry, spiteful and misled
    Xigbar: Loyal, braggart, know-it-all, mocking and experienced (he moves around a lot and shoots a lot, breaks out the big guns when necessary, etc.)
    Xaldin: Stern, drastic (come on, SIX LANCES he must REALLY WANT TO STAB SOMETHING) and old-fashioned ("no one can love a beast")
    Vexen: Afraid, objective, thirsts for knowledge, and jaded
    Lexaeus: Patient, actions > words, level-headed and merciless
    Zexion: Two-faced, cooly arrogant, tries to appease the few he respects for approval (am I the only one who saw this?!) and callous
    Saix: Dogmatic, slightly insane/obessesive, has....strange fixations and is probably a sociopath
    Axel: Capricious, self-serving, self-sacrificing, very selective of his friends and sentimental
    Demyx: In denial, pacifist, emotional, light-hearted and...pouty (I DUNNO)
    Luxord: Superficial, compulsive, caustic, has a dictionary probably stowed in his cloak somewhere and a british accent
    Marluxia: Tyrannical, power-hungry, greedy, threatening, conniving and deceptive(dude for a guy who is supposed to use flowers, his attacks sure look a lot more like DARKNESS TEAR YOU TO PIECES BWAHAHAHAHA *scythe scythe*)
    Larxene: Contemptuous, cheerful, sniping, flirty, spoiled and forceful
    Roxas: lost, used, quiet and has bad luck.

    I *personally* do not believe that gaming can be classified as being full-blown "disease of the mind". Look at the appeal that we get FROM games and we can draw our conclusions from there.

    Games appeal for:
    - Control (predictability and the comfort that it will not a have a "dramatic" effect on reality -such as killing something-)
    - Praise (games give you ratings....good ratings is like being praised...complete with a voice tell you sometimes)
    - Competition (like sports except in some cases without moving, exceptions to this being most Wii Games and things like DDR)
    - Intrigue/Simulation (expressions of fantasies FREELY, it caters to the needs we may or cannot satisfy in this sense)
    - Interaction (some games actually are much better story-tellers then say movies or books, standalones, not cheap money-milking schemes)

    However the media tends to do what it does best...propagate SPECIFICALLY SPECIAL truths. It is a statistic "truth" of sorts that EVERYTHING has at least ONE DANGER or NEGATIVITY. What the media usually skips out on in terms of rationalizing anything that is "compelling" is that MODERATION is KEY. (They often speak of gaming as though it is some sort of POISION of the mind.)

    What really sets gaming apart from say addiction to a drug, is that there are no physical withdrawl sytems (at least as far as I know of).

    Gaming really hasn't gotten to the degree that there should be this much attention on it, really it is simply an overexaggeration from a probably bored collection of people. If people had the same "gaming" addiction to other hobbies or activities of recreation (like reading, drawing or other such things) there would probably be even less alarm.

    (Ah well this is all I can think of at the moment...so tired.)

    Hmmm.....its.....alright

    Aside from what has already been said about proportions....I would say stucture fluidity is another big point. Her head just seems to....I guess, veer off her neck. However this problem is easily remedied with say, a rough-stick-person sketch beforehand.

    I would comment on the eyes and face and such but that is merely a style preference (from what I can tell, what I call "shoujo anime style"), however the overinking of details on the hair seems a bit gaudy. Try experimenting to see what balances out between needlessly complex and 'too simple'.

    But don't worry, we all have our starting points, so just keep practicing and you'll be fine!

    I won't comment on the anime-style you've chosen so I'll just stick with the technical things:

    Hmm, the pose seems a bit rigid as does the "flow" of the clothing. The shading below the dress is very nice however. The joints seem slightly...incorrect but the hand details are lovely.

    Keep up the good work and remember to practice! 8D

    Well obviously everything that is technological up to this point is mere CHANCE and LUCK (sir Jedi there doesn't believe in luck or chance so it just POOFED into existence as well).

    Same for medicine, research and treatments don't do anything, its ALL GOD.

    Also, all extinct life-forms have no say in whether God is real or not, because they weren't mentioned in the bible so they do not exist. (AKA Dinosours.)

    Those are sadly in a lack of stock as we can see hundreds of posts later. I think the reason why "intelligent design" hasn't been brought up yet is because a certain....book seems to take priority in their minds.

    To argue the grossly general "intelligent design" arguement, which usually uses a watch as an analogy- watches or other complex machinery do not reproduce through an exchange of organic materials. Therefore the analogy is not a wise one and is somewhat voided of validity.

    No question there, Gandhi should be in the nice place should the nice place exist. A life of charity should be justly rewarded regardless of the "big invislbe man" they believed in.

    They SAID they did so it MUST BE TRUE as is the case for pratically every aspect of the Bible. [/sarcasm]

    And according to iPraise, if Satan managed to convince 1/3rd of God's angels to follow HIM (Satan), God must not have been all that satisfactory. (If paradise was perfect, why leave it?)

    Saix - Ias (ee-as,)
    Axel - Lae (said like "Lay")
    Demyx - Meyd (Mead, rhymes with bead)
    Luxord - Rould (I would side with this one because is sounds like Roald which is a name)
    Marluxia - Ramiual (It sounds like a guy's name)
    Larxene - Arlene

    To be utterly blunt this was spurred on by the Evoluton vs Creationism debate...however near the end (but not before going in a couple circles) the debate devolved into a seperate debate about how the Christian Bible was not credible.

    -Mainly between myself (a handful of the Evolutionist supporters) and the Creationists.

    So this brings us to the start of this (hopefully, unique to this forum and correct in format) thread.

    Logical Religion.

    I am not a particuliairly religious person and this should be fairly apparent, but I often ask myself, "How can these people have so much faith in a religion?"

    Surely there must be a logical explaination as to why people (of all walks of intelligence believe it or not fellow cynics) choose a set of doctrines to dedicate their faith to. Is there revolutionary logic in a religion that people such as myself, "outsiders", do not see? State your logic in why one book is MORE trustworthy or LESS trustworthy than another. But keep in mind that this is NOT a converter convention. (IE: CHANGE FAITH OR SUFFER, and other phrases of this ilk)

    Here is a quote to start it off from the Evo vs Cre debate before my debator 'quit' on the off-topic debate (and hence why this thread is being created so that the debate can continue):
    Summary:
    Yays of Religion should be able to counter-point or logically explain the things that the
    Nays of Religion bring up as contradictions.
    Specific or otherwise obscure examples are recomended to have quotes from the appropriate doctrine.

    Well I'm not too "up to date" in this sort of thing....but wasn't it true that when Barbie first came out, all "women were good for" were being that type of person?

    Problem is media tradition and sticking to old stereotypes.

    But yes, I do agree thatBarbie and Bratz (Bratz is worse in my opinion, the name itself already has terrible connotations) are ****ty role models for girls everywhere.

    Here is a math equation you might understand then.

    You + Bible = Stubborn Child
    You + Reading Other's Posts Throughly = Not in this reality
    You + Logical Replies = Also not in this reality

    God = Omnipotent Forgiver = Forgive His Creations
    Satan = One of God's Creations
    Therefore, God should be able to forgive Satan, but this is 'untrue' according to your statements.

    So why can't God fogive Satan or even reason with him?

    What does he hope to gain through giving us free will then? If you reply "kindness" again then he should be kind enough to try and reform Lucifer/Satan. If he can't 'do that', then I really can claim "hypocritical loophole" in that respect. For someone who is supposed to be merciful and eternally benevolent, shouldn't he be able to spare forgiveness to one of his own angels?

    Remind me how that doesn't sound like a brainwashing statement again?

    And if he is all-knowing, why did he give Lucifer free will if he was just going to damn him later? (Come to think of it, most things God seems to give free will to seems to be damned in some way or another sooner or later.)

    *REPOST FROM THE FORUM DATA RESET*
    I would like a link of RELIABLE reference for that boat please. Also, consider how many animals were allegedly on that boat? (Since they found it, they must certainly have the dimensions of it!) Also, what about food? Elephants are not exactly light eaters either- hell any grazing animal for that fact. (Speaking of which, where would the waste go....) By the way, there were also SMALL dinosaurs you know!

    In regards to the meteor....holy Grey Earl tea child! Where do you learn your physics from?! Please refer to National Geographic or any documentary provided by any of the credable science institutes for the meteor "impact size chart". The meteor that hit the gulf was many times SMALLER than the earth but it still had a monumental effect! The basketball does not destroy the car! :\

    As for the water thing, WHERE WOULD THE WATER GO?! But, do tell us, it is the internet, where you can POST THINGS like DIAGRAMS and show the rest of us! (Go you can make it on MS paint, post it on photobucket and then post us the link, please supply us with the visual aid!)

    Hmm, yo iPraise, if the T-Rex was too big for the boat, why did God make the T-Rex so BIG then? Hmm....oh the mysteries!

    Ah yes, and by promise iPraise, does this or does this not include the eventual "Red Giant" effect of the sun? (It'll roast us like marshmallows in a couple billion years if we're still here!)

    NOW BACK ON TOPIC

    I thought the Bible was supposed to be your Truth! I think it might have been better that we trust logic and information. I also find your statements highly ironic.

    I was under the impression that Christianity included the Torah which were the books in the Old Testement.

    I'm glad you say this because I think some common ground has finally been found from your side with ours! Bravo. (Do you like the taste of your medicine?)

    By the way, I have yet to have seen a "tumor" disappear without the aid of MEDICINE and intense MEDICAL treatment or an OPERATION. And diabetes does not "disappear", it has to be treated throughout one's life (do you even know what diabetes is? It's not life-threatening if you are mindful and take your insulin).
    Besides, (surprise) I doubt one prayer can "cure" someone of diabetes. How about a cure for AIDS (far more terrible in my opinion and many people pray for their loved ones to be cured of that)?


    YOU do not have to get respect for God. I believe you have stated that his glory is great enough or so you have tried to convince me (or us, but I can't really speak for the others).

    Now as to answer your question....I believe you would have to start speaking with logical, thoughtful statements first...and then provide crediable evidence...and then be collected in composition as well as level-headed. I (normally would) respect your belief in religion however I do not respect that you constantly ignore any point that I bring up "against" him but rather you continue to go with cookie-cutter answers to questions you pick out out (and forgive me for being candid, they are often poorly written). That is why 'you' cannot get any respect for God 'here'.

    Thank you for reading. :\
