That you can't get pregnant from oral sex.

...or, rather, that someone able to be pregnant can't get pregnant from orally sexing someone who can get someone who can get pregnant pregnant.

Whatever, LINK: http://www.iheartchaos.com/content/can-you-get-pregnant-oral-sex-one-out-zillion-chances-yes-more-you-know

Looking back it seems pretty obvious that he was just using you, but back when I played it I wasn't genre savy enoguh to notice such things.
This for Seymour Guado, though my friend picked up on it instantly. Aside from Pokémon, the only RPGs I'd played were the Golden Sun games, so I wasn't apt to the clichés. It kinda saddens me, though, that he could I.D. that so quickly; I was expecting (or at least reasoned, I guess) that it would be one of this intentional misguidings, but no, by the book.

It's not a lie...these scientists are just racist against pluto because he doesnt act like all the other planets in the solar system. It's been a planet for gods know how many decades. I feel its earned the right to still be called one reguardless of size of orbit.

I used to believe that all Americans were Christian, and that I was the only person in the states who didn't understand why God was invisible. Also why, if you were all-powerful and going to create something, would you shape it in your own damn image?? I'm not here to debate Christianity, just saying I used to think everybody bought it, that's all.

The new planetary body definition is in debate, and will likely be overturned within a few decades. [http://news.discovery.com/space/planet-definition-doesnt-apply-beyond-the-solar-system.html]

For awhile I thought Texas wasn't part of the US.

Boy did I fell so retarded when I found out the truth.
Well for a while it wasn't part of US, so u weren't that far off... It's better than Nebraska, anyway.

That silencers on guns actually make them almost whisper quiet. Trust me, games like CoD and action movies make them out like that but in Norway I fired my mates sniper rifle. I was all sure it wouldn't be too bad with the silence on but bloody hell my ear felt like it had just exploded.
Suppressors quiet pistol calibers far more efficiently than rifle calibers. Sniper rifle suppressors are less about noise and more about muzzle flash, as the rifle is to be intended to be used at long range, where the noise is simply "in that direction."

Yeah, we take offense the moment you say believing in God is wrong, which if you read the title is what your post (and the three posts before yours) are saying.

As for me? I used to believe cartoons were awesome. Then came the sanitized shit like Spongebob.
Actually if you take the context of the question correctly, what the actually accusation is not infact believing in god is wrong, but the fact that you are believing in a (as yet unproven to exist) fictional character created in a (as far unproven to be true) fictional book written by a bunch of over enthusiastic cult leaders. (thats what all religions that say you can only be that religion, start off as).

It's like believing in Santa (although in actually santa HAS been proven to exist in the past)

I never understood how saying you don't like something or you don't like to partake in something offends one, We choose what we believe in, no matter what we do it doesn't affect others who do like that certain in anyway.

All three times, it's the same homophone, and all three times you got it wrong. Siding with one kind in the hopes of nailing it did not pay off for you.

Ah, here's one: Assuming people pronounce the "l" in "salmon". It sounds too stupid that way, though, so I'll still try to work it in, the few times I say it, though I try to destress(?) it as much as I can. I also try to work in the "dn" blend in "Wednesday". Oh, and "pimiento", I've just heard it as "pimento", and only upon reading it on an Oscar Meyer package did I notice that "i"; that'll be a bit difficult to break myself from, but, eh, it's a gradual process, only so many words at a time.

Except when you're voting on something morally divisive. Proposition 8, anyone? (Was that California's, or my local Florida's that was "8"?) Then there's dealing with people who exercise their beliefs onto you or your environment, and it's only more dangerous the more fanatical the person is, as some stances just don't properly allow for the contrary to be tolerated; this extends beyond labeled religion, mind.

Damn I just noticed. Living such a big period of my life in Puerto Rico has ruined my writing in english :(

I used to think the news never lied. Then I started watching Fox.... and quickly stopped. Then I started again so I could laugh at them!

The topic title is "Things you believed all your life that turned out to be wrong." Note the "wrong" and not "that you no longer believe". There is a huge difference.

Bolded parts are the reasons I try not to get into theocratic debates with Atheists unless I know that they've done the research.
We really can't prove whats right or whats wrong in this case, Deeply sorry if I offended you, But I never found religion right on my terms, On your terms however it may be a completely different story.

It may come as a surprise to you, but most atheists have done more research than your average theist. There are separate issues that need to be addressed, in order:

1. Was there a person by the name of Yeshua bin Yusef living in approximately 1 CE? (Probably, but that's because Yeshua and Yusef were very common names.)
2. Was this person recognized as a prophet at the time? (Possibly. Then again, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of "prophets" at that time.)
3. Did this person perform miracles? (Almost certainly not.)
4. Was this person the son of the Abrahamic deity? (The Abrahamic deity would have to exist, first, so probably not.)

You may find the history of the Essenes enlightening. Apparently, the name "Jesus" is a corruption of "Joshua" (as in the prophet); the Essenes believed their "Teacher of Righteousness" was the successor of Joshua. Add a few hundred years and some oral history, et voilà, you have the story of Jesus.
