    I'd have to recommend the Cloud II's as well. I think its the best "bang for your buck" gaming headset.

    I'm just arguing that there are most likely truths of the universe that are entirely above our ability to understand them.

    For now. We will eventually figure out the universe, but it will take time. But its logic and science that will figure it out, not reading about a character that doesn't exist. It is the unknown but we don't fear it, we just want to understand it.

    We can calculate and guess, but there's still some science behind dark matter and the big bang. Its not something that we can't at all calculate or measure, but its still something far more substantial than an invisible God. Its something that scientists can agree on because of the facts, not because of what someone wrote thousands of years ago.

    I don't believe in any sort of God. I was raised religious (although loosely) but I honestly can't remember when I started to question the existence of God, but I know it was early on, before I was a teenager.. In my country, you are christened into religion (Evangelical Lutheran) and I just, I never believed in it. I always thought that the idea of an invisible force that cannot be seen, measured, calculated or otherwise manipulated (whether physically or in theory) was ridiculous and unbelievable.

    And in any case, I find the idea of religions idiotic. The fact that some people need religion in order to be kind, in order to not hurt others, in order to have discipline in their lives, in order to have faith in themselves is just ridiculous to me. It baffles me how much people let these beliefs control their lives and how much people take on blindly. For example, Elvis died over 40 years ago and yet in 40 years, there have been numerous theories and suggestions as to what exactly was in Elvis' favorite banana/bacon/whatever sandwich and yet he died just over 40 years ago. And then we have religious texts that are centuries old and people dare say that there have been no mistranslations or misinterpretations of such texts. I believe that the texts for every single religion in existence have been created by man in order to gain control and nothing else. I believe that all religions are just advanced fear mongering and spreading of false information.

    I want to emphasize that I have nothing against any particular religions and that I hate the idea of religions and Gods themselves and not the people that believe in those things and practice those things and preach those things. I am not saying that people aren't at all fault, but I am saying that I put the biggest blame on the religions themselves, not their followers.

    I agree, should definitely be something more straightforward. When I see SOC, I think System On Chip.
