It depends on what types of games you enjoy. Experiencing the faster games
in 2D is improved with better pixel response rates/lower lag, and monitors vary
widely in that regard. You need a pretty good GPU to run the latest games on
the fastest or color accurate/high res monitors. (4K resolution is coming later,
too.) But whether you favor good colors or speed, why spend a lot of money for
a GPU to run a monitor that's slow or has poor colors? The fastest are known
for meh colors, so I looked for the fastest at 2560 x 1440 with excellent
colors/resolution.

Atheism IS a religion! My profound apologies to Xians.
by return of parakeet inin the course of my continuing research on why believers insist that atheists are religious, i stumbled upon a website (link below) that proves beyond any doubt that atheism is a religion.
you can imagine my chagrin upon discovering that i, as an atheist, belong to a religion after all.
i'm not exactly a member in good standing yet, but i'll work on it as hard as i can.

I start with a basic definition of God (as in the Adler version), faith as a
choice of hope or not in that possibility beyond the known, and atheism as re-
jection of belief in God or gods. Character, belief in yet other things,
ability to get the facts right, centric intolerance, names for God, interven-
tions, law of the land, etc., are all optional additional stipulations. Reli-
gion typically combines faith and belonging to a social group.Not all believers claim to prove is and not all disbelievers claim to prove
isn't. The prove is and isn't-ers belong in their own category, and it's the
same category as the GB--there isn't any prove is or isn't for the basics of
that. Someone trying to rationalize an atheist is a believer typically means
they likewise assert something as proven beyond what can be proven but that
category is for those of either group who are mistaken or propadandizing. For
example, the GB belongs in that group and I assume they don't have faith, not
that they do. -

Only people who make mistakes have to admit they made mistakes
by Terry indoes the jw religion rest on "insider information" or not?.
the average rank and file member believes this is true.. there is a "magical" belief about the faithful and discreet slave.. it is muddled, of course.. "how do they know?".
they just know..... the fds with the hotline to heaven likes to revisit old ideas and fluff them up like a pillow.. the dog whistle is a device only heard by dogs.

They've made every indication of playing prophet and more recently denied that
they have any special ability to predict. On one hand they ask to be considered
like anyone who might hazard a prediction without claiming special prophet
abilities previously implied, but on the other they require followers to agree
to all GB distinctions, including prediction, or be disfellowshipped instead of
categorizing current predictions as a matter of personal conscience.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah%27s_witnesses#Sources_of_doctrineThey seem to want to be considered as the best at interpreting, the best
guided short of intervention, and you have to agree to be in the club. -

Why all the FORGIVENESS in the universe doesn't solve THE REAL problem.
by Terry ina wife who forgives her husband for beating her preserves the marriage.
but, forgiveness doesn't solve the real problem.. a victim of molestation who forgives the molester earns our awe eases their burden of anger, but, once again it doesn't solve the real problem.. forgiveness skirts the real problems.. .
for thousands of years mankind approached god for pardon for various sins, crimes, misdemeanors and--through rituals of sacrifice actually obtained forgiveness.. but, forgiveness didn't solve the real problems and it resulted in the deaths of millions of animals.. .

Again, a leading case that's too general about Christian belief at a few
points.Interpersonal abusive behavior is discouraged scripturally. Spiritually, the
believer is encouraged to pull for the other for God and leave the judgment
about it to God, not just leave bad human behavior to God. Complimentarianism
is conservative vs. liberal. The conservative choice and worse is also due to
social trends that are broader and older.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_domestic_violence
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ComplementarianismMore generally, being irresponsible about the known things (evolution) and
harm (rights for women and LGBT people) over a possibility is conservative
stipulation added to belief (or socially or politically added by a non-believ-
er), not just belief.The known things and concern to not harm will never make a case against belief
in God, only what religious and political stipulations to not add to belief or
non-belief in the basic God concept.To be a credible possibility, it has to be reconciled to the known things,
including the bad things of it (tragedies, death) and people (overindulging
the self at other's unfair regard or treatment, needless harm).Those things are debated regarding how to reconcile them with an all-benefi-
cent God concept--do you blame God for the bad or allowing the possibility of
it, see a freedom of choice in it, etc. But that problem is eliminated by not
requiring the stipulation. You can still rue the bad just as much but it's then
like being able to believe in life for the good in it, and to believe in helping
with and encouraging the good in it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheodicyWith God, you could believe He wants you to do that and add afterlife as a
sweetner. Just blaming God for the bad then turns on itself as a judgment
parallel to arguing against belief in life due to the bad of it. It's not the
perspective I'd recommend for a possible God presiding over life any more than
for life.
