It goes with 健康的 there. It's not saying that turkey sandwich and cup of soup is perfect, it's saying it's perfect nutrition-wise.

One person brings up your curt, stupid, and unhelpful response and you lose your shit and take it personally.
If you weren't busy being butthurt, you'd have seen I caught my mistake. Fuck off jerk-burger.

I don't see how telling you not to put words in my mouth is taking it personally. You're the one who waved away my response without so much as a comment on what you didn't like about it. Not to mention you corrected it while I was posting (just look at the time stamps for fucks' sake). If your problem is being curt, maybe you shouldn't be on 4chan.
oohhh... i know linux... look at all my options... fucking tosser

Can somebody please check my translation. I'm not 100% sure who is 未だに信じられない, 人１ or the speaker(I think that the 人１)?
"I just can't believe that it's an illusion."
"If you're saying this, than even now you don't realise how much(how much is the percentage of it) our lives consist of illusions."
人１「……これが幻覚だなんて、とても思えないよ」
人２「それを言ったら、わたし達の人生の何割かは幻覚だったなんて、未だに信じられないわ」
Context: Both are seeing an unrealistic scenery.

So, maybe somethng like this: "Now when you said it, how much(how much is the percentage of it) our lives consist of illusions, even now I cannot realise."

何割かは is "some amount of~". It's not "I can't realize how much", but rather "I can believe that some portion of."
In this part - 女子とイイコトして戯れている, 「イイコトして」 is the means by which 戯れている is done? Or it's just two states, "he is doing イイコト with girls and flirt with them."?

The latter. The two are separate, but related. There's a lot of different things イイコト could be but while he's doing that, it's clear he's messing around.

How do you understand it? Well, if he's messing around with the girls then "He's messing around with them by doing イイコト." would sonnd fine.. well maybe not, but unfortunetely it's still unclear to me.

In the following sentence the thing that the speaker finds ひどく滑稽 is himself who is thinking about about it?(そんな事を考えている自分)?
そんな事を考えている自分が、ひどく滑稽に思えて、それがひどく可笑しかった…………

Yes, it's 自分がひどく滑稽に思える at the lowest level. The comma doesn't break that.

儂もますます消える気はない。御主が敗れる暁には、御主の意思を奪い、闇の王として祭りあげてくれよう。
御主の意思を奪い、闇の王として祭りあげてくれよう。 - I'm not sure how to translate this part correctly, so can you check my translation please.
"The time when you fail I'll claim your purpose and you will set me as the Lord of Darkness."

くれる is often used in the meaning of あげる/やる in older texts. The speaker is saying they will set them as the lord of darkness.
I feel out of place asking here, but I was pointed towards this board for one instance.
I can read kana almost at native-level, but I seriously slack with kanji. I've been playing Sengoku Musou 4 lately, and while I usually know enough to be able to accomplish the mission objectives, there's one in particular that's beyond my knowledge.
I usually use Saiga-JP's radical-based search engine, but it's extremely time-consuming and I thought I might have better luck asking someone who's more knowledgeable than I am. http://i.imgur.com/8I7qT5y.jpg - The mission objective in question.

I got it figured out, thankfully. Having more than one source to rely on helps tremendously.
I'm trying to practice memorizing kanji more since I've been importing so much the last year, but I have no clue what books are good for it or if I'd even get anything out of them. My language memory, even with English, is piss-poor.

Wrong. There is no way that memorizing symbols can be fun for me. Ever.
But that's OK. This will pay off eventually.

Maybe I'm mistaken something but I think I read some time ago that ても could have the same meaning as なら／ば, but now when I look through the web I was unable to find anything except "even if" meaning. So, can you please tell, does ても have this meaning or not? The reason I'm asking this, is this sentence -
人は殺しても地球は守るんです(Well, at least the translation "If you will kill people then you will protect the earth.")

The meaning comes from sentences like そう言われても困ります="I will be troubled if you say that" (used in the sense of "I don't know how to respond to that"). There's no "even" in this sentence, because the troubling comes directly from being told something.
I have no idea about the context for your sentence, and the context makes a huge difference. It could mean "even if I kill people, I will protect the earth," but that's hard to say without knowing more about who is speaking to whom. In any case, I don't think it means what you are saying it means.

Guys I'm not quiet sure how to translate 体力馬鹿 in this dialogue. Well I've seen that somebody called "to be really weak" i.e. "to be an idiot in strength". But in the dialogue I think that he is saying something like "Sorry for being strong and idiot" or something like this.

Hell no. As I understand it it's just something that originated from Ranma 1/2.

~ばか is often used to mean "idiot who is totally~". Stuff like 筋肉バカ to mean "musclebound moron" or whatever. It's usually only used for things like sports or muscles or whatever (so you wouldn't see 読書馬鹿 or something). So yes, it would be "an idiot and strong" in this case. http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q13580043

Is it grammatically possible to imply by 「それは」 not the whole 「璃子様は神様のお嫁さんになること」, but only 「神様のお嫁さんになること」. In other words - "Madam, her mother, and everyone(the mother of her mother etc.) is dreamed to become the 神様のお嫁さん."? Not for Riko to become...?
私のお嫁さんは無理です。璃子様は神様のお嫁さんになることが決まっているんです。それは奥様も奥様のそのお母様も、すべての方が夢見てきたこと…

No, because the entire phrase is coupled to ~ことが決まっている. They all dream of the day when riko becomes the 神様のお嫁さん.
