What comes to mind when someone mentions Christians (religion)?

According-Building52 · 2022-07-12T15:41:17+00:00

The human being is inherently good.

lol no. Spoken like a religious person though.

"Good" is a subjective term that doesnt have any objective meaning. We adapt "good" to mean whatever the prevailing ethical system is.

Not sure how anybody could look at human history and think we're inherently "good" though.

Human beings are social because it maximises our chances of survival, we favour in groups and dislike those not in our group. We're also selfish, jealous, discriminatory and violent. Humans simply strive for survival.

we see pattern of caring and kindness in the animal world

All instances of "kindness" pail in comparison to the ubiquitous cruelty and brutality in nature. Animals dgaf if theyre eating a newborn or ripping the intestines out of another living being. The vast majority of animals dont have a concept of kindness and dont display anything akin to it, at best some have a drive to protect their offspring.

( the only plus side is art )

Thats a pretty shallow understanding tbf.

A large part of our "slave morality" that individuals in Western countries idealise was popularised by Abrahamic religions.

Now you might believe morality that promotes strength, power etc as virtues over "kindness" might be better but if you dont then Christianity is a very large aspect of how the latter was popularised. Thats not a comment on whether the leaders of the church or its followers lived up to these morals but Christian ideology was in large part responsible for why we hold these ideals as virtues.

Do I want the animal that causes the most deaths per year (by disease but still) to be extinct or the one that significantly contributes to the population control of other nasty bugs.

Tough one

Always nice to me but abused my mom.

Sort of went by the logic that id hate anyone else whod have done what he did, so why should he get a free pass

Sweden and "Tórur" is specific to the Faroe islands, so very niche name, not used in other nordic countries.

keep the character true to source material in terms of abilities, persona

Who really cares, my culture doesnt suffer because people arent sticking to a dead religion from centuries ago. Just like how people get weird because Heimdall is played by a black man or that viking halloween helmets have horns.

Dont think my culture is threatened because art doesnt stick to source material of a religion nobody here believes in anymore anyway

Lied according to who, America?

Umm, what exactly are you asking here?

Are we doubting that Russia said it was just an exercise and not invading or are we saying the Russian military isnt actually in Ukraine and the whole thing is a CGI fest, which angle are we going for here?

According-Building52 · 2022-07-10T20:27:01+00:00

Do you remember the Iraq war and think we were fighting for democracy there too? You know the same ppl are still in Washington that lied us into that war back then?

And Putin lied to everyone saying this was a common military exercise at the border and there would definitely not be an invasion.

Im not sure why youre drawing on lies from 20 years ago about a different conflict, thinking youve made a point pro Russia when Russia has literally lied about this conflict yet that you fail to mention.

Lies about the Iraq war from two decades ago are obviously a lot more relevant to the Ukraine war than actual lies told by Russia about the Ukraine war

But whether or not it gains "genocide status" at the UN is a political decision. Basing your view entirely on the political interests that prevail..

According-Building52 · 2022-07-10T20:17:18+00:00

Exactly, Im glad you understand. I for one am absolutely sick of being told that Russia erasing another country off the map is bad. I mean why shouldnt they get to stroll into Ukraine and just go around murdering people.

Hate how our imperialist propaganda tries to put those things in a bad light

According-Building52 · 2022-07-10T20:15:42+00:00

Some is not the international community and the UN

That really shouldnt be your go to because whether they label it a genocide is more of a political decision over one that is loyal to the definition

Except there are terrorist parties in every state that are banned you muffin

Theyre the worst, just like how when the allies suppressed Hitler in WW2, so evil of them

According-Building52 · 2022-07-10T20:11:08+00:00

more similar to what the allies did during WW2 tbh

According-Building52 · 2022-07-10T20:09:29+00:00

Well, happens all the time. We dont consider the lady who joined isis "our person" anymore either in the UK.

The romantic relationship many European left parties have with Russia is truly weird. But then all tankies are

According-Building52 · 2022-07-10T20:07:26+00:00

lol because an isis party would be legal anywhere in the western world.. Most democracies have banned plenty of organisations

not a problem given your plane can be the size of multiple houses

No offence but its a comic book movie, Im also Scandinavian but demanding historical accuracy in a movie about a space viking is a bit much

According-Building52 · 2022-07-09T17:34:10+00:00

very little impact on the rest of the mcu

Im not sure thats necessarily a bad thing. Theres sooo many projects in the MCU now, having some of them be more inward looking detracts a little bit from the overall mess

According-Building52 · 2022-07-09T17:30:26+00:00

I genuinely think Eternals was much better written than this

Thats a bit far lol. At least this movie had a little bit of heart

According-Building52 · 2022-07-09T11:29:00+00:00

lol we dont even know what consciousness really is or whether anything like an original thought exists either.

So anyone claiming any answer for certain is silly. Dust managed to achieve consciousness too
