Holy anime avatars Batman! Welcome to the site foo.

[Demon-Mask]

Too bad his avatar isn't anime, or you'd be right.

[Eradrazil]

Apparently all of my previous posts have now decided to show up. Sorry for the triple post >_<

[Kong]

For some reason the forum was marking Eradrazil's posts as spam and hiding them. Not sure why but I am guessing because of the weird Japanese words and being new.

I unhid his posts. That is why it appears that he is repeating himself above.

Welcome to RU Eradrazil.

[Eradrazil]

Thanks for the welcome.

Forgot to include the usual list of facts that I always include in introductions, so here goes:

* I'm 20 years old, live in Norway, and my birthday is March 9th, 1991.

* I am currently attending the fourth year of upper secondary school (For the curious, look up "Education in Norway" on Wikipedia)

* I am an avid collector of dragon-themed paraphernalia. Figurines, posters, swords, knives, you name it.

* I have ACC (Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum)

* I am somewhat fat and very lazy, though I somehow seem to have quite good endurance (By that, I mean that while I will be gasping for air after only a 10-minute run, I can easily bike 45 minutes straight without stopping).

* For book series, I like: Wheel of Time, Sword of Truth and Discworld.

* My favorite genre of music is VGM (Video Game Music), and my favorite musical instrument is the bagpipe.

* I currently own a PSP, a very good desktop computer, a PS2, a defective GameBoy Color (alas, it did not survive the sandy beach trip all those years ago), GameBoy Advance (Alas it did not survive repeated head-bashing brought on by anger), GameBoy Advance SP (Still works, though I don't use it).

* The reason I chose the username is essentially: Dracil > Drazil, with Era suffixed as I seem to have a fascination with time.

* Religiously, I am a pragmatic agnostic rooted firmly on the "No evidence" type of apatheism(Look up pragmatic agnosticism on Wikipedia if you're curious).

I do believe that's everything I feel I need to share. I may add more stuff later, who knows.

@SC13, it had two anime adaptions, long after the series was conceived.

[Slime Slayer]

Jesus Christ, don't go to google images to find out what agenesis is like I did.

Yes I know, I posted the video to prove you were wrong and I was right.

[Demon-Mask]

It is not primarily an anime series, his avatar is not from one of the two single-episode long anime adaptions, therefore it is not an anime avatar.
@Eradrazil: sorry if we are ruining your introduction by arguing.

[Eradrazil]

Eh, I don't mind. I usually just make a thread, make a list of bullet point facts and proceed to completely forget about it after a few minutes, so I don't really mind what this thread turns into.

If you want to get technical, anime refers to animation, provided that character was animated, in one form or another, it is indeed an anime avatar.

[elrod21]

Welcome Eradrazil! Hope you enjoy your stay here. :)

[TheGuardian]

Welcome to the site. and Yay Touhou lol. I prefer the Tasofro fighters more than the actual games cause i'm not terribly good at shmups, though i do love them. Also, Alice avatar :33. I think that's Alice. Damn small things. Well if you ever wanna play me in Hisoutensoku if you have it, drop me a line. I love playing other people. also check out the Gundemonium series if you like touhou.

[joz]

Welcome to RU, Eradrazil.

Jesus Christ, don't go to google images to find out what agenesis is like I did.



I shouldn't have googled it either...

[Dudebro]

You guys are googling to broadly that's why you're getting a ton of disturbing medical pics. If you google the whole condition he listed you'll see brain scans. Agenesis just means organs failing to develop correctly.




Welcome to RU Eradrazil. I'm interested in your religious beliefs(or lack thereof). I've recently decided I'm an antitheist, how apathetic are you about that kind of thinking? ;)

Btw unless I missed it you didn't say how you found RU. I'm always interested in that kind of info, lay it on us please.

[Tails]

Thank you for being Mr. Google today DB.

[Eradrazil]

@Dudebro: From what Wikipedia tells me, it looks like antitheism is simply refusal to believe in God, at least that's what I'm getting from it. Basically it seems to me like this: I currently do not believe in God, and think that if he really does want us to acknowledge his existence, he should simply show some divine sign. If he does show such a divine sign in my lifetime, I will believe that he exists because I will have seen proof of it, which I currently have not. You, on the other hand, flat out do not believe in God (or more specifically, you are opposed to beliefs in the existence of God, which seems like the same thing to me. No offense meant if any was felt), and would not be swayed by a divine acknowledgement from the 'ol bearded guy. So basically you're like me in that sense, only where I would start believing, you would continue disbelieving.

Also I honestly do not for the life of me remember how I found RU. I know I found it only a few days ago. I know I found it on a complete whim, but I honestly do not remember what that whim was.

[alohaex]

Aloha Eradrazil nice to meet you and welcome to the retro ohana :D

[samejamesbond]

Welcome to RU Eradrazil, it's awesome to see new people here.

[Dudebro]

@Eradrazil- If there was an undeniable sign of gods existence I'd have no trouble believing it. That's my beef with the whole thing, lack of proof. I think this part of the wiki description describes me best-
Antitheism has been adopted as a label by those who take the view that theism is dangerous or destructive. One example of this view is demonstrated in Letters to a Young Contrarian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letters_to_a_Young_Contrarian) (2001), in which Christopher Hitchens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Hitchens) writes: "I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful."
I feel that for the most part organized religion is a bad thing and it ruins peoples lives.

[KATZ]

* For book series, I like: Wheel of Time, Sword of Truth and Discworld.


Nothing quite like Robert Jordan (R.I.P.) except Terry Goodkind ;) (if you get my joke) But on the otherhand Welcome to RU ^_^

[Demon-Mask]

I feel that for the most part organized religion is a bad thing and it ruins peoples lives.
My uncle was a hardcore addict, destroying his body and mind with drugs and alcohol. Had he not found religion, he'd be dead in a ditch somewhere.
I don't believe in any god, but I think organized religion can/does have certain benefits.

[Dudebro]

I have no problem admitting that religion can help people. When I talk about the negative side I mainly mean the overbearing thought control it's usually guilty of.

[Demon-Mask]

Ah, I can understand that. My problem is the control it exerts over our government despite the supposed "separation of church and state".
