The Unpopular Opinions Thread!

I am a christian.

@cyberkid: That's not an opinion....that's a fact.

Facts are things that are true.
Opinions are things that are arguable.

You saying "I'm a Christian" could be fact or opinion

Fact if you really are Christian
Opinion of you're some other religion, but say you are christian.

New Opinions:
- BEST TOPIC EVER :p

That makes maybe three of us so far. Least I'm not alone.

And:

No, fact if he is one, lie if he isn't. Opinion if he's not sure.

Finally:

I agree. Well, topics that come up on April Fool's Day are even more awesome, but they come around once a year.

So am I.

congratz

I like how you guys are ignoring the fact that Christianity is a MAJORITY and this is the UNPOPULAR opinions thread.

Actually, by looking throught this topic, I'd say it's a minority.

But you're right, these aren't opinions, they're facts, therefore these statements don't belong in this thread. My bad.

Worldwide Christianity is the most commonly practiced religion. Islam comes in second. I really haven't the slightest idea where Atheism fits in there but I'm sure it's still smaller than those two.

Although today Agnosticism is probably above everything.

Going to church doesn't make you Christian any more than mixing random colors together makes you an artist or putting a lab coat on makes you a scientist. Trust me, it's a small group. 90% of people who go to church probably do it just because it's the thing to do.

Then again, the same can be said with other religions I suppose.

Anyway, off topic, more opinions:

Xbox 360 is terrible except for graphics.
PS3, same.
The Mario Party series is getting worse.
Disney Channel is awesome.
Country music is annoying.
Yodeling is annoying.
Ballroom dance music is annoying.
Classical music isn't as annoying as people make it out to be, but is still annoying.
Fangames are usually better than professionally done games.

Why do you guys suddenly feel the need to ruin a perfectly good topic (In fact I'm actually surprised it's lasted this long)

Well anyway here are some more:
-Brawl is okay
-The original paper mario is still my favorite
-Luigi's mansion is actually kinda creepy
-I prefer to use gm's built in paint program over ms paint (It's great for pixel-by-pixel art)

well thats just like your opinion man

I agree with these also. Except I think brawl is great, but not worthy of a 10/10 score.

you're still doing it and I still am finding it offensive.
I am a hacker.
that is not to say I am a computer criminal, I don't break security to violate laws, or to do illegitimate things, break privacy, or whatever other naughty things you might associate with the word "hack". "hacking" is not the word for that; "phreaking" and "cracking" come to mind.
I am simply a hacker -- that is, by the definition in Webster's New World Hacker Dictionary (since the last time I cited the Jargon File people said it wasn't a reputable source for definitions), "A hacker is an individual who enjoys learning computer system details and how to capitalize on his or her capabilities. This term is often incorrectly used for 'cracker,' which refers to someone who engages in unethical or illegal computer exploits."
PLEASE stop mislabeling our culture as that of criminals. It is not. Do not put yourself on a moral high ground above me, for I do none of the bad things you think I do.

oh? what research have you done? what research have you ignored? I think you're one of the people who should watch all nine of the youtube videos I linked last page; you have quite a bit to learn, or at least realize.

evolution is not contrary to religion; stop making it your enemy. it's stupid to deny something that has been proven very thoroughly.

Apparently I have been misleaded by the word hacker all this time. I'm sorry too, even though I haven't said anything yet, I might have.

I don't blame you for having been mislead, the mainstream media and news do it all the time and it's sickening. As long as you're not one of those stubborn types who refuses to learn the proper definition you're ok in my book tho' =)

Lightning calm down

in fact everybody needs to calm down

Here are some more:
-I think gml is easy
-n00bs are cool
-Yoshiman and Joey are the best leaders we've had
-I think Grant should be the next admin

"Missing links" are still missing.
All intermediate human-ape fossils found have been proven to be either fully human or fully ape.
etc.

If it was proven thoroughly, everything would be there. Religion can't be proven thoroughly, and evolution can't be proven thoroughly. Both require a certain amount of faith.

But this is off topic. If you would like to discuss this further, please keep it out of this topic.

EDIT: I don't mean to sound mean, I have great friends who are not my religion, and who are probably evolutionists, I don't know. Sorry if I sound mean.

Actually science is the process that we use to draw conclusions. The conclusions themselves have been proven through science; in a sense they have very little to do with science itself.

So if we're experimenting and hypothesizing about evolution, that's science. And besides, every scientific experiment you conduct always proves one thing or another, even if the result isn't what you expected.

I don't see why we can't learn the history and theory behind other world religions. It's not as if they're forcing views upon us.

I thought it was proven and I did some more research. Now I know it's proven. Thank you and good night

evolution does not require faith. it requires evidence. such is the nature of science.
the missing links are all there, and they are plentiful. you are ignoring them.
