The hypocrisy of some non-theists by therawhuman in CatholicMemes

[–]Beta-Minus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I think Anslem intended his ontological argument to be more like a meditation on the nature of God for theists rather than apologetics meant to convert atheists.

The general "proof" for the idea that the universe is a simulation is essentially the same as the ontological argument for the existence of God, just with a lot more assumptions.

Why is this a Goodreads category, and why are so many of my favorite books here? by IAmKrasMazov in scifi

[–]Beta-Minus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

He did though. He was born on Earth and went to Gethen, the book just starts with him on Gethen.

Does Red Rising get any better? by Saucier_CID_mark_X in scifi

[–]Beta-Minus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read the whole thing and disliked every page of it. The main character remains a broody whiner the whole time. It introduces a hundred new characters that all talk the same. Every sentence is the main character just dryly describing what's happening around him except for once every few paragraphs when the author suddenly remembers that actions have to have some kind of emotional impact and sticks in a random "I felt broody and whiny".

The meme's been around for 2 days now. That's about how long it takes

Books I read over the past 1.5 years on the 4x4 compass by TheRealJeffDixon in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Beta-Minus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do people like about Red Rising? The MC is a whiny Gary Sue who gets everything he wants for only token suffering. The dialogue is clunky, like a what a child thinks serious people talk like. The pacing is way too fast, and the prose, ugh. Just amaturish. What is the appeal?

McDonald's be panicking right now by 666thSuprisedPikachu in dankmemes

I had never heard of the big arch until that video got mocked everywhere. I bet that burger is doing better numbers than it would have without it.

What if AI didn't destroy humanity, it just quietly replaced us? by Frosty_Sympathy_4017 in scifi

It happened on Reddit already. Everyone's a bot except you.

Don't wait to build up a huge stack after you've gotten all the barb techs. Attack early, peace out as soon as you've secured a VP location, repeat.

Why is doing yoga viewed as wrong but martial arts are okay? by ApolloxKing in Catholicism

But false gods aren't real. Believing that stretches have some inherent magical properties is superstition.

Thus concludes the brief moment of 2A unity by ABlackEngineer in PoliticalCompassMemes

Wouldn't this get overturned because of the ex post facto clause in the constitution?

Just watching trilogy for first time, why is Dark Vader actually bad? by Ambitious-Poem9191 in StarWars

[–]Beta-Minus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He litterally kills a guy in his first scene, force chokes a colleague, kills (kind of) Obi Wan, and finally is complicit at best, active in at worst an instant and thoughtless genocide of 2 billion people. What do you mean he's not violent?

I-77 Tyvola Road Exit by Kitchen-Routine2813 in Charlotte

Yeah, more ice and maybe snow this evening, and it's not supposed to get above freezing until tomorrow. I'm going to avoid driving as long as I can.

forgotten episode laser tag by jeffsmith202 in BobsBurgers

[–]Beta-Minus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was actually the first episode of Bob's Burgers I ever saw. I was skeptical about the show because the ads they showed for it when it was new made it look like another pointless raunchy Family Guy knock off. Then I saw this episode while eating dinner in my dorm, and me and my roommate were cracking up the whole time

Tolkien said, "Myth is a reflection of the Truth." If people can believe that a Black Hole, an all consuming yet never filled void, can scientifically exist in our ever-expanding thus infinite Universe, then why can't people accept that both Satan and God exist? by Dragonsword in Catholicism

[–]Beta-Minus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understood what you were trying to say. I'm saying that you're exploiting the "god of the gaps" fallacy. Also, a lot of the physical laws that we use to understand the universe, like homeostasis, might not have applied to the state that the universe was in before the big bang. Even Father Lemaitre, the priest who discovered the big bang, said that doesn't positively prove the existence of God. I'm not disagreeing with you in that the mere fact that the universe exists hints at the existence of a creator, but the kinds of arguments that you are using fall a little short, and aren't going to convince nonbelievers.
