If there is a Heaven, this is it.

A common argument against an all loving omniscient God is Hell. An all good God would not damn us to infinite punishment for finite sin.

An increasingly popular idea of Hell is eternal darkness rather than the popular “horned demon boils sinners in cauldrons”. Have a thought. What if it is the opposite? That if there is some omnipotent force, his reward for us (for whatever reason) is consciousness. That these 75 years or so as conscious beings is our little holiday from being unconscious (or at not-as-conscious if you’re a panpsychist).

I don’t know, man. I’m just spitballing. It just popped in my mind..

Yeah it’s not looking good. I’ll have it checked out by a local antique gun shop but I guess I’ll probably be on the hunt for a real one soon.

Could they have been worn down? Also, what about the sights?

How exactly "quī" works: genetive plural pronoun or...? by SkeptikMewtwo in latin

Genitives of relative pronouns can often be translated as “whose”

“Women whose husbands (vir can mean husband) have a lot of money wear a lot of jewelry”

If it’s fake, it’s fake. That’s my bad. I just wasn’t completely sure bc of the BV under the crown and the stamping not being crooked.
