| Is impersonating other people right or wrong? Does it depend upon whether the person who is being impersonated approves or disapproves? Is it acceptable to impersonate others against their will if you don't like them? Discuss. I find this question to be bizarre. What kind of 'impersonating' do you ... |

Thats based on the... |

I make simple mistakes in calculus, particularly multivariable calculus, and appear to disregard things like geometri... |

| Well, if I were setting up the universe I would have made it so that the diameter of a circle was exactly one third the circumfrence of the same circle. Pi wouldve been exactly three, and not an irrational number like 3.14etc.... then circles would not be round. ruveyn Ofcourse they would be round!... |

| If theists get raptured, then that means they were right all along, which means anyone left behind is about to be SOL on an epic scale. Or, ya know, they were only partially right, and we heathens will just be left in peace. Or maybe we would have our own wars? Allied Atheist Alliance vs United Ath... |
