It's because I'm getting closer to things that were my goals for such a long time, and in their intensive light I can more clearly see things I had to deal with earlier, and could not change, because they were part of me. Now I see how their sources were getting into my soul and it helps me preventing that in future. Does that make any sense to you?
Otherwise, being hostile to something counter-productive is a good thing in my eyes. How do I know it's counter-productive? From knowing what being productive is.

A guideline is a statement by which to determine a course of action. A guideline aims to streamline particular processes according to a set routine or sound practice. By definition, following a guideline is never mandatory. Guidelines are not binding and are not enforced. ( U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs, http://www.va.gov/trm/TRMGlossaryPage.asp )
Guidelines may be issued by and used by any organization (governmental or private) to make the actions of its employees or divisions more predictable, and presumably of higher quality.

The line between copyright-infringing derivative work and fair use is really fuzzy. Needless to say, you probably will not win the legal battle against a megacorporation on this question, so it's useless to even try. Unfortunately this is one of those things you'll simply have to accept, unless you have really good lawyers as friends (or can afford them) who will back you up all the way.
Review, commentary and parody are generally protected under fair use, especially if they use only very small portions of the original work. TASes arguably do not fall into any of these.
When macrocorporation starts feeding people actual shit, you'll have nothing but to eat it, just because you don't have lawyers to help you refuse eating it, right? Am I right? Show me a single case where gameplay footage creator posting his videos without any aim for monetization lost such a case, and then we'll listen to your nonsense (maybe).

Let's start from the good part.

What method do you use for deciding what is true and false? Do you maybe compare the different explanations that various sources give you? Do you then choose the best explanation that makes most sense to you and requires least amount of extraneous assumptions? If so, you use the same method that I do. Edit: At least that's what I try to do, but it is impossible to avoid all cognitive biases and other shortcomings that I might have.
My method is this:
1. Meet a problem that can't be resolved right away.
2. Spend some time on resolving it basing on already present knowledge.
3. Have hard time figuring out what it really is about, what misinterpretations or lack of knowledge on my side were used by that problem when it appeared.
4. Collect some of those and try to apply to the problem, just as a check.
5. Figure out more and more things of different importance, that could break the solution again if not considered.
6. Resolve the problem and hear it click.
7. Remember the feeling, compare it to what I felt when I first met that problem, and to what I thought before and during solving it. Figure out what of those appeared to be correct, fix the rest in my head, and make a mental picture of the resulting feeling. It is called common sense.
8. Once other problems like that are met, try to resolve it right from step 7, and if it doesn't work right away, improve my notion of common sense by executing 1-7.
Wow dude! You spend so many words on telling me about those bad creationists and stuff, even though I never said I'm one of them. You seem to be obsessed with dualistic vision of the world, where it's either evolution, or divine creation, and since divine creation has no direct scientific proof, it's obviously evolution. And to help you agree with that, you have to tell yourself how bad (or wrong) creationists are. LOL.
You know what? The method I described to you in the beginning of my post doesn't agree at all with the entire evolution idea (except for those tiny tweaks). We'll see what it ends up with.
Now the worst part. I have written 2posts for you, and you haven't bothered to reply (only to the first one before it was edited).

Ahahahahahahaha!

Because evolution is basing on death, and death didn't exist before sin. How much pleasure did my brain deliver you?

If your only objection to the theory of evolution is a blatant straw man, then I think theory is on pretty solid ground. You can't attack what it actually says, so you have to invent a distortion to attack.
Yes, I see you have a good explanation on how the eye actually appeared. Your detailed post nearly convinced me I was wrong all along.

There's a rumor that once you leave their house, you're neither guest nor family to them anymore, and if they need, they are free to kill you.

I'm also just not a believer in the theory of evolution.
Which part of the theory of evolution you think is false? You can quote some false statement from this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution
This naturally goes to everyone else, too.
Alright. There's a thing called microevolution. It's when species slightly change to fit the environment. It's what Darwin saw. Some people believe that there's also macroevolution, when species form other species. Both are said to be caused by random mutations, that can help them survive, or be adverse, or be neutral.
Microevolution is not a belief, it's a fact, there are events of it happening around us. But I'm yet to be pointed to events of macroevolution. Everyone whom I asked says that there are fossils that prove that macroevolution was an event sometimes. But not now, not before our eyes.
I'm kind of okay with that, maybe people witness it happening elsewhere, I dunno. What bothers me though, is that they give endless abilities to microevolutional tweaks. Like, if we only had enough time, anything could evolve into anything. Example:
There are creatures without eyes all around the planet. Then suddenly, by a random mutation, there burns a creature with an eye. But there's no corresponding neural center that would operate that eye, so it doesn't work, and the creature's lifestyle doesn't improve.
Then, randomly, when a next creature with an eye burns (I remind, there were no eyes on the planet beforehand, so either this one's entity appears right out of nowhere, in all functionality, or also randomly evolves into something filled with something that can capture pictures of the world), it also randomly has the required neural center and can finally operate the eye.
Then eyed versions of that creature have their lifestyle improved, they force out their own old versions. Then what? We can find none of the old versions of them in our soil, like they never existed.
Do you trust all that? Because I simply don't believe it. And don't say you have a proof, you only have assumptions based on bones, and some little tweaks in organisms.

how come Jesus did not have even a single female disciple
You've only heard of 12 of the disciples, right? Let's count.
Virgin Mary
Mary Magdalene
Photine
Thekla
Helena of Constantinople
Saint Nino
Olga of Kiev
Let me guess. It's too few for you? If so, go ahead and tell us, what actions of God would have satisfied your feminism.

(Hmm, if we agree that women should be allowed to vote today, then our explanation for why Jesus had no female disciples should include better reasons than the ones that were once used to stop women from voting.
I fail to see how being a disciple is a "right" in your eyes, let alone comparing it to voting (seriously?!) Do you even know how disciples ended their lives? Most of them were tortured to death. Would you say God is cruel for letting apostolic women die like that? Because you now seem to claim that for God not letting more women die like that.

ars4326, how is that honoring the woman? Isn't she clearly stated here to have been made for the use of man, a mere tool?
At first I thought your posts were honest interest and incomprehensibility, now I see you're advisedly writing bullshit about things you have no intention to even know. It's worse than ignorance, and I don't have a proper word for that. It's not scientific skepticism either though.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them

You keep pedaling this idea like it has any relation to reality. Equality? Are green and square equal? Are arm and leg equal? If not, you'd assume it's because one is worse than another, right? Or you make such assumptions only to troll?
PS: I haven't read the last page, okay? Will do now.
EDIT: So I started reading this page.

Justify
There were several aspects.
1. Era itself, and people relations back then.
2. World that's outside of the Bible's target audience.
3. Temporary nature of all Old Testament laws.
I don't think the first one needs any explanation. If it's common at the time to wear Sepultura t-shirts, and someone somewhere is referring to it as good, you don't need to justify it, because it's just a tradition.
The world around jews was all about idols back then, and you don't wanna know what was common to them. So some aspects of Bible only make sense when you look at the whole population and compare.
The third results from the previous two. If something's no longer traditional, you don't need to consider it in your era. If the outside world is no longer that bad, we don't need old laws either. But there's still its own meaning to the third part: all the old laws were to improve the overall approach of the given nation and to prepare them for the new law.
And if you see such statemenhts in the New Testament, then it means this: it's exactly the way the Church was invented, it's how it works, it's what (in the long run) made it survive 2 millenniums. Have problems with that? Don't join the Church then, I dunno. Sometimes people react to things like it's already a Reckoning Day and they are asked why they didn't accept something.
