The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

Then this one here. It all come together now.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. I can't wait until I have time to play life for myself.
Also thanks for the pacman ;D
That's soooo fun! Especially interesting is when I figured out how to make the ones that can travel across the screen indefinitely. After that, you can make a few separate 'colonies' and see if they spawn any of the traveling kind of their own. If you build the colonies approximately equidistant from each other and the traveling kind do spawn, you can watch them interact with the other colonies and watch more spawn and travel across the grid. It's neat!
EDIT: It's even neater. Clearly what I figured out isn't original, so there's some awesome save files that have way more complex groupings that move across the grid... and even clean-up debris after themselves.

I think its cool making big ones and littles ones and watching the big ones "eat" the little ones. I'm not very good at this and I haven't gotten it so that the big one isn't morphed when it "eats" a little one. This things going to take up more of my time then, well, pacman
Woa...
For a message from Gahd1, draw the following on an empty Life board, then press go.

"Anyone can repress a woman, but you need 'dictated' scriptures to feel you're really right in repressing her. In the same way, homophobes thrive everywhere. But you must feel you've got scripture on your side to come up with the tedious 'Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve' style arguments instead of just recognising that some people are different." - Douglas Murray
Also, try 10 dots in a line.
Edit
Oh, that's on the site.
Any line longer than 10 generates some fascinating stuff.

The neatest part for me is that as long as you draw a pretty big pattern, it will always spawn-off lots of little 'gliders' and spinners.
