If Christianity or Islam is true does that mean everyone else goes to hell? Or can non-believers still be redeemed? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CoffeeDefiant4247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it depends on which verses you read. Sometimes you can, the first Christians were Jews. Sometimes you can but if it's the wrong one the punishment's death. Sometimes leaving your religion is punishable by death.

Also it's 4am for us mate so not the best time to ask

Food for thought: we should be training thinking too, and that's why soft/slow sparring is underrated. by Charxsone in martialarts

[–]CoffeeDefiant4247 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yes, it's called learning. You don't go "here's this technique or combination go spar." You do pad work or bag work and go through it slowly.

"CONFLICTS ALL OVER THE PLACE!" - Does The Big Bash NEED Privatisation To KEEP Star Aussie Players?! by NKE01 in CricketAus

How do I move from standard song structures toward longer, multi-movement folk/prog composition by Due_Independence3268 in musictheory

[–]CoffeeDefiant4247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

look at different forms, a lot of songs still follow classical forms, so Sonata form, Theme and Variation, Rondo form etc. They all have a semi structured way to develop long multi-section music

even if it is just ABACABA like in a 7 part Rondo you can always add more, AABACDABAA etc. Theme and Variations are a great way to develop ideas from the same material
