I doubt either will show their faces again tbh, and both of them would be pretty easy to recognize. Ariel definitely won't after the pit viper shit though.
That sums up my experience with it too. I'd have a flawless winning streak against others that didn't obsessively study it, and get my ass kicked in the tournaments. I preferred checkers tbh.
Can't speak for everyone but I laugh at idiots saying dumb shit, doesn't matter what the dumb shit is. Could be troon rhetoric, could be godfag shit, could be mathematical illiteracy. It amuses me to poke retards.
People being critical of a ideology having the response of "military saints" isn't exactly a solid defence tbh. It's basically saying that you can't handle questions, and will have to resort to violence to avoid that. It's showing weakness, not strength.
Aight, we can go a little lol - It is theoretical. It relies on faith/emotion, and has countless fractions and divisions on everything else. - God, as described in the bible, does not allow for free will to exist. It falls under predeterminism whilst the definition tautologically refutes itself. Also; If the biblical stories are correct, then free will would have been granted by the serpent not god. Adam and Eve, and Lilith, would not have known morality or even what "wrong" was until after two of them had caused original sin. That was granted by the fruit/serpent saying 'fuck it lol, have a snack'. Free will can only exist if yahweh wasn't all everything/perfect by definition, otherwise it's part of the plan and falls into predeterminism again. - Evil's definition is relative, as is good, morality is very nuanced even within followers of the same ideology.
- That'd depend if you blame the abusive parent or the immature child for eating the bag of crack cocaine that was left on its bed. I'd blame the parent personally, especially if they knew exactly what the kid would do it before they intentionally set the bag down there.
- Nothing, it doesn't exist. Catholic school for a skeptic is a pain in the ass though I guess? True, but all powerful would allow for things like everyone finding the same temperature perfect or restricting the temperature to only those that enjoy that temperature etc.
- All actions and inactions are choices when you know the exact outcome of everything. A deity would have access to that, but by having an absolute and perfect plan (with the knowledge of all outcomes of their choices) there is no room for individual free will. We would all be pawns, punished/rewarded for inevitability not from merit.
- I prefer reason personally, but I understand that people resort to things like ancient illiterate jewish mythology when the chips are down. I don't resent them for that, believe whatever the fuck you want as long as it harms no one that is unconsenting. Churches don't get a pass, as with other authoritarian tyrants though.
- Just gave it a quick search. Looks like it has a number of different definitions, "my lord"/"I am that I am". Interestingly, it's read right to left so it'd actually be HWHY not YHWH/yahweh.
"H = ה = hey = behold/reveal/breath W = י = yod = arm/hand/work/deed/worship H = ה = hey = behold/reveal/breath Y = ו = vav = nail/secure/add/and" So Imma just go with 'Reveal Hand Breath Nail' as its name's true meaning lol
- Adam and Eve had no knowledge of right/wrong prior to eating the fruit. And yeah, god would be worse than an abusive parent in that story as it'd be directly responsible for literally everything and then scapegoat all responsibility onto those it created. More like punishing sims for pissing themselves when you lock them in a room without a toilet. Punishing extreme innocence with extreme eternal malice. The bag of crack cocaine, fruit of the garden, was positioned by the entity that created everything and knew the outcome before it did so.
- If a mere mortal can come up with a better system, then what's the point in an all knowing/powerful god? All discomforts, suffering and evil is directly from the personal creator of everything.
- Not familiar with protestantism specifically, let alone the sub sects of it. But it'd apply to all forms of xianity that believes god is at least both omnipotent and omniscient, as that would deny the possibility of free will. Everything is merely reacting to the actions/inactions of the divine plan. Puppets eternally dancing on a sadist's strings. You keep saying we, but I am genuinely repulsed by abusive sadistic cunts that pretend to love me and demand me to worship them. That's instinctive for me.
- The only reason within faith is mental gymnastics, as you are only looking for things to reinforce what you wish to believe rather than looking at things to see what is. Churches are authoritarian by default, they are responsible for a great deal of human suffering and evil throughout the past and present (and inevitably future too). Sin is merely human nature, so it is hating the human for not being inhuman enough to be accepted. That's fucked up imo lol.
- That's contested a lot, way more than I previously thought tbh, there's no agreed upon translation (even on the backwards one). I remember it being ~"creator" back during my studies, others claimed it just meant "god" etc. If nothing else, at least it doesn't translate into "submission" though lmao.
- If not the creator of everything, then who/what did? It'd know that eve was weak willed enough to be manipulated by a serpent (which it also created), and just let his puppets fulfil their roles until it could come back and punish them. Every crackhead would have only had access to crack due to god's plan, and it'd know whether or not they would kick the habit and what they would do to keep getting their fixes etc. I'm just playing out the hypothetical of the xian god existing, I don't believe in it personally and I don't blame fiction. If I'm wrong about it existing, I still wouldn't worship it due to all the fucked up shit it is directly responsible for though.
- Man has created all kinds of things to better themselves, their environments and lessen suffering. Obviously not exclusively, we've created all kinds of fucked up shit too. We also punish parents who treat their children as god apparently treated his creations.
- I guess your god wanted me to have it, or I wouldn't have it lol. Predeterminism's a bitch, and god's overrated to the extent of calling it "perfect". I personally believe in free will, although it's questionable even in terms of science. Newtonian law being that everything is merely a reaction, if true that would mean that existence is already set with no possible variation. I just don't trust it enough to leap of faith, and predeterminism's very awkward ethically, lol. If you're right it could easily be god's plan for us to have this conversation, merely believing we have free will without actually having a choice.
- I mean.. Have you seen churches? They're all authoritarian by default, they've calmed down quite considerably since the reformation but they all assert they have divine authority onto the lesser peasants. This one kinda threw me, it's self evident to me that organized religion is authoritarian. As for human nature being evil, and who is to blame for human nature. The one that made humans the way we naturally are would be?
- It's just mockery with no existing target, I see no reason to show more respect than I would to any other fictional character. Like gandalf, motherfucker not just using the giant eagles to take the ring. What a total dick. https://youtu.be/2JSVVJbBiC4
- I have yet to see a reason to. I was agnostic until ~13, then I was exposed to roman catholic indoctrination for 5 years. That made me go 180', I read a lot of philosophical and occult shit and read their bible a few times. Picking it apart as the mess of contradictions that it is. Then I studied philosophy more formally at college, which unfortunately removed interesting shit like Nietzsche and replaced it with fags like aquinas. At this point I doubt there's going to be some kind of paradigm shift to make me believe and/or praise the biblical villain.
Old momo was a child raping faggot, his degenerate followers rape their family members, children and animals. You aren't going to win this, even the jews are somehow above you ethically.
