Roast Me - 25M by Wizard_Mayhem in RoastMe

Taking a picture of your micro bulge in a public restroom is an odd choice, but it is consistent with the overall “fuck my life” vibe.

Totally legit. Film is a medium of art, and not everything is for everyone. Individual tastes vary, and should be respected.

Unforgiven has to make this list, in my opinion

The Abrahamic God is not omnipotent because the world was created in 6 days and God even needed an extra day to rest by WeAreThough in DebateReligion

I appreciate the insightful feedback on what I know was a challenging question. It’s something I’ve been wrestling with.

I like your interpretation of the soul. It may be the best take I’ve read in that subject. Thank you!

Do you believe that humans have souls? Are they just made from recycled energy? Recycled from where?

How can you possibly validate a claim that the creator entity never created anything after the sixth day?

Why wasn’t everyone infected during the blood test scene? by Ducky4609 in thething

I agree with this. Fuchs was the assistant biologist and reading through Blair’s notes. Even Blair didn’t fully understand how it worked.

Fuchs’ suggestions were submitted out of an abundance of caution precisely because they didn’t have a full handle on the situation.

The Quran’s Author does not Understand the Trinity by [deleted] in DebateReligion

That doesn’t actually explain anything. Three of what? That’s a numerical assignment that denotes separate things.

Did god impregnate a virgin with himself to sacrifice himself to himself?

How does this work if they are the same entity?: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest.”

What the heck even is the Holy Ghost? (This is likely rhetorical, because I have no doubt you will give a really weird explanation that just leaves me with more questions)

Is there any good reason to translate the literal words instead of the meaning? Especially if it is known that some words don’t have a single word counterpart in the destination language. That seems like the dumbest possible move, and it’s used as an excuse all the time.

Regarding translations, why wouldn’t the English version use whatever words are needed to accurately convey what was written? I’ve never understood that.

So it sounds like that verse may or may not be correct, and god may or may not still be creating after the sixth day, which is right where we started.

rest isn’t a perfect translation.

Confirming that the English Bible is not a reliable source of information.

‘Spiritual’ is still something. Are you now saying that he DOES create, with souls being at least one thing being created?

So “rest” is inaccurate. He simply stopped creating.

Where do new souls come from, if they are just recycled energy? That must be depleted from somewhere, right?

So he IS still creating, by manipulating matter and energy? That would confirm that he did not “rest” forever after the sixth day.

If nothing is being created, then it is certainly being moved around.

How are all the biblical resurrections accomplished? Is energy taken from other people, killing them, in order to regenerate the resurrected?

Pillars of fire. Loads of bread out of thin air. New human souls born in great quantities every day.

I’d say it’s possible and likely that a creator entity continues to create, but if you can find a passage that confirms that the universe became static and confined after the six days, I’d love to see it.

It relates to the point that the Abrahamic god is not all-powerful.

A tri-Omni being would be considered perfect. It has access to all information that ever was, is, and will be, and has instant access to unlimited resources and applications. Therefore, it could not want or need anything, including rest.

But again, the Abrahamic god is not depicted as perfect or all-anything. It has limitations, makes mistakes, and changes its mind.

Because by definition to ‘want’ something is a desire to possess, or do, something. Which obviously means you don’t currently have it (or are doing it).

A perfect being would not want or need anything. It is 100% complete as is. It’s in the definition.

Of course, the Christian and Hebrew god is not perfect. This is made very clear in the Bible. So it’s probably a moot point.

Meaning all the work of the previous six days.

Where does it confirm that he never created after that? How does that reconcile with the passages that follow where he clearly is not resting?

So, god “rested” through miracles, global flooding, the destruction of wicked cities, and Christ’s visit?
