C++'s definitions
At its core, religion is adherence to a code of beliefs. Often bashed by evangelical atheists who don't understand that their belief in no god is itself a religion.
Also note that general religion or faith is not the same thing as organized religion. Organized religion is, theologically, man's interpretation of what God wants. For example, Christianity is a belief in God and Jesus (see the Bible for more specifics), and the organized religion of Catholocism (later, the Protestant faiths) was created to 'bring God to the people.'
Most faiths say basically the same thing (that there was one loving God, a flood, some prophets and some other stuff) but a lot of organized religions have been twisted into an excuse for people to kill each other (if theres one thing humans love more than killing each other, its doing it for a greater cause).

Get the religion mug.Best city ever, if you're a clueless Californian sheeple, a rich idiot, or a shallow prick who thinks the only thing that matters in the world is good weather.
Actually the city is pretty cool, you gotta love a town whose entire city council is at risk of going to jail, and whose (recently resigned) mayor was voted one of the country's worst.
I think I know a total of 5 other residents who actually like this place, most people who love SD are tourists who didn't stay long enough to get screwed over.

If you like $500,000 cottages, $3.00/gallon gas, corrupt local government, fascistic homeowners associations and oppressive regulation, San Diego is the place to be.

Get the San Diego mug.On the eight day, God created Infantry. He sayeth "let there be a game fit for Man, who was created in my image, and for me when I am bored" and thusly Infantry rose from the sea of binary code, a testament to divine power and the coolness of developer Harmless Games. But Man became sinful and an asshole (no surprise there), and God decided to destroy what he created. "Man has gone wrong," God said, "and I shall destroy these sinful men and bring about the ruination of their great game." And verily, He flooded the earth for 40 days and 40 nights, and made HG sell Infantry to Sonly Online Entertainment who promptly ruined it on divine order (not that they needed any help though).
Luckily for mankind Noah was allowed to build an ark and save his family and the animals, but God was swift and merciless with Infantry. After SOE completed its task, what remained of the once mighty game was set upon by all manner of demons, hackers, script kiddies, and nade lamers. And when the dust settled, Infantry was leveled, laid low by the hand that rent Sodom and Gomorrah, then banished to the underworld to be lorded over by Satan's assistant Joe for all of eternity.

Get the Infantry mug.To be so wrapped up in your own Kool-Aid agenda that you have no clue that you are really talking out of your ass. The word was invented by pundit Joe Klien in a rant about how Matt Drudge sucks, but the part of the original article he quoted to support his case actually validated the Drudge headline so Klien was clearly referring to himself.
Did you catch that Senator on TV the other night going on about how earmarks are bad but his own pet projects were special? How dumbolic.

Get the bunny mug.Popular bastardization of Maxis' classic SimCity series that effectively lets one play God in a small community. Popular with mild-mannered middle aged women and perverts, but for different reasons. Though many applaud Maxis' incredible success with the series others see it (and the subsequent abandonment/assimilation of SimCity) as blasphemy.
Oh Belinda, let me tell you about this most wonderful little neighborhood I've built at our next Tupperware party.
Sup lads I made those three dudes do it in the bathroom.
