Randomness. You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

I wasn't aware that atheism had as a central tenet a particular belief in the origin of the universe, the nature of the universe, etc.. I always thought it was simply some version of non-belief in a god. You're conflating materialism and atheism. No doubt many, if not most atheists are materialist of some stripe, but the two actually have nothing to do with one another conceptually. You can be either one and not be the other. Even physicists don't claim to know what "caused" the universe because no one knows what "caused" the big bang. (This is similar the creationists confusing THE ORIGIN OF LIFE with THE EVOLUTION OF LIFE.) I'm an atheist, and I have no belief whatsoever regarding what "caused" the universe. I don't even know what the phrase "caused the universe MEANS." This is a good time to bring up what I think can be a problem when some atheists get into debates with religious believers. By presenting materialism as being central to, or even identical to atheism, they put believers into the position of being asked, not only to accept that their belief in God is mistaken, but that THE MATERIALIST WORLDVIEW IS RIGHT. They are two different, and not necessarily related things. That's like saying, "Creationism is wrong BECAUSE ABSOLUTE RANDOMNESS IS WHAT CAUSED THE UNIVERSE," rather than simply argue that creationism is wrong. I don't believe that "absolute randomness is what caused the universe," AND I'M AN ATHEIST! (August 13, 2016 at 8:54 pm)fdesilva Wrote: Take a dice, 6 is the best number in most games.

Psh, you need to roll a d20 to even try to hit another's AC. Checkmate, theist nut job

So what we have is.. 18. At least if I know my dice games correctly. You need 108 more 6's to get 666. Otherwise you just have 3 separate six's that you chose to put together (quite lazily I might add). At most you have 3 separate six's that make 6 6 6. But the number of the beast is quite clearly supposed to be 666 without the spaces.
I mean if my kids roll two 6's in Monopoly from Go, they land on the Electric Company, not pass go and then land on Atlantic Avenue. Besides, everyone knows that if the devil were real, Satanic Panic would dictate Dungeons and Dragons Rule, meaning 20, not six. So as a symbol it'd be 20 20 20.

It would seem the gamers here know the rules of dice more than the OP or his gawd.
Note to the OP: stay away from casinos until you understand the basic rules of how dice actually work. Disclaimer: I am only responsible for what I say, not what you choose to understand.
