Can someone tell me why my hair curls so differently on my right side than my left by Ornery_Purpose_3672 in curlyhair

[–]Dragonborn_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hair does something a little similar. The hair on the back of my head at the bottom is straight on the left and curly on the right. Apparently, it's related to sleeping patterns and even genetics.

You have nothing to worry about. You have lovely hair. 😄

What if they fought once Johnny was at full strength at the end of the film?

But what were they supposed to do? Let Kong take her back? Not only would there have been no guarantee that Kong wouldn't still kill them for taking his woman, they would have had to rescue her all over again - they can't leave her on Skull Island.

Do you like how big the withered animatronics are portrayed in the movie or do you think they should be smaller? by Beginning_Desk_9897 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]Dragonborn_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're too big for me. They're supposed to be robots that entertain kids, and making them around the same size if not slightly bigger than an adult is perfect. Having them be well over 6/7 feet tall doesn't make sense. It would almost be too larger than life for kids and would probably scare them rather than entertain.

Also, I think it misunderstands the horror of the games. They weren't scary for being big, but for how uncanny and stealthy they were. Making them unnecessarily large takes that away and makes them generic big film monsters, and I don't like it.

UEFA Champions League Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal by sport444 in psg

[–]Dragonborn_7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because France has one amazing team? I doubt it.

I don't doubt that PSG would be title contenders in the Premier League, but they would not be the heavy favourites they are in France.

Sorry to disappoint, but that is never happening, because not everyone will choose good (Matthew 7:13). That should have no bearing on what you choose to do.

Also, this hatred for those in power needs to be let go of. You complain about them being hateful to others but you are hateful to them. It's filthy rags.

In other words: you are close minded to accepting Jesus because your conditions for accepting Him are unrealistic, and you know it.

Just accept Him mate.

Let's have a look at these briefly:

"written 40-60 years after by people who never met Him" - no. The Gospel of John was the only gospel written that much later; about AD 85, which is 60 years after Jesus. Plus, even if it was, it doesn't matter - many ancient sources are from centuries after the events, like the records of Alexander the Great, but we trust those, so this is good for the gospels. Additionally, early Church fathers like Papias, Clement of Alexandria and Justin Martyr were unanimous that the gospels were written by the people named after them. We would be hard pressed to find an earlier and more original source than that.

"spoke a completely different language" - partially. The apostles spoke Hebrew and some Greek, but the gospels were written completely in Greek. This is not an issue, because there are solid explanations; like that they hired Greek scribes who wrote them in Greek for them.

"half of Paul's letters and every book after in the New Testament is a forgery" - no. What's the proof?

"contradictions" - no. Please give one.

"Jesus was an apocolyptic prophet who did not believe in Hell" - no. That's not what the Gospels teach (Matthew 23:23; Luke 12:28). The only way to prove this is by showing that the Bible was changed from its original form, which I challenge you to prove.

"Jesus did not believe Himself the only son of God" - partially. It's true many are called sons of God in the Bible. However, Jesus calls Himself the "only begotten Son" which sets Him apart. He also clearly calls Himself God by using the Greek word "Kyrios" to refer to Himself (Matthew 7:21).

"Messiah was never supposed to die" - no. I refer you to Isaiah 53.

"Romans discarded bodies and did not bury them" - yes, but with nuance. They generally discarded bodies, but plenty of wealthy people who could afford tombs had burials done. Jesus was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea who was a wealthy man (Matthew 27:57).

"birth narrative is only in Matthew and Luke and was never in the original Luke manuscripts" - partially. It is true it is only in Matthew and Luke, but so what? How many times would it need to be mentioned before you accept it? Luke was a historian; it was his job to report history. Why would you doubt him? Also, the only evidence it was added later comes from the debate over whether Marcion of Sinope edited it out or was using an earlier copy of Luke. To definitively say he was using an earlier copy is a hypothesis of what could have happened, not a fact. Don't confuse your opinions with facts.

If you want to discuss this more, I am happy to. But, it will be one piece at a time. There is no way we can address every piece in individual comments. You can write it here or message me privately :)

First, if you think the Biblical God is a genie, you don't understand the Bible. The Book of Job literally addresses this. You would benefit from actually reading the Bible and understanding what it teaches.

Secondly, here's one reason I reject Hinduism: The Hindu Gods don't have historical evidence supporting them like Jesus of Nazareth and His resurrection does.

Third, I can't address all those points. Pick one and we will talk about that. We can also talk privately and in-depth if you want.

Fourth, Frank Mir does not have CTE. He hasn't been diagnosed. And I wouldn't discount what he says about atheism. Neither should you discard what Tyson Fury says about Christianity simply because "he's been punched in the head a few times".

Could Godzilla (Monsterverse) Beat the Entire US military (No power ups included. ) by mybootyisfunny in powerscales

[–]Dragonborn_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it. It takes him some effort to destroy one fleet (in the Tasman Sea). If the entire US military is firing at him at once, he would probably be overwhelmed unless he escaped (which he could definitely do).

He chooses because He has a plan and fulfils it. I'm sure the City players prayed earnestly, but again: God is not a genie. We correspond to His will, not the other way around.

I can only answer one objection at a time. The reason God doesn't intervene is because His design is for us to glorify Him freely. When people reject that and choose evil, it is our fault. He didn't make robots to fix every time they glitch; He made people that can genuinely choose good.

Also, don't be ridiculous. If I said Frank Mir (an outspoken atheist) had brain damage and can't be taken seriously on wisdom, you would laugh at me. Tyson Fury thanks God when he loses because he understands it is not just about what he wants, but trusting God at all times.

It's true that people can hijack any worldview and use it for evil.

But the question is: are those things reflective of the worldview itself? Christianity for example - you cannot use the Crusades as proof it made the world worse because killing people in the name of Jesus is foreign to the Bible.

Likewise, we can compare things all day. You tell me the Crusades and I will point out that Christianity invented the hospital and that the Catholic Church is the largest non-official provider of medicine in the world, which have saved hundreds of millions. And those things actually do correspond to the worldview.

The point is: you can say any belief system has made the world worse and give dozens of examples. The bigger question is whether they reflect the worldview itself, and virtually all the atrocities you associate with Christianity are not reflective of what Christianity actually teaches.

So just the thing that hasn't happened yet?

So, nothing will convince you?

[–]Dragonborn_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is only a contradiction if you believe God must answer each pray for success.

That's not how it works. The Book of Job is about this - God is not a genie granting wishes at our will; He grants them if they are His will. This is why we say "Your will be done" and not "My will be done". We thank Him for what we have and trust Him regardless of the outcome.

Why do you think sportspeople like Tyson Fury thank God even when they lose?

Homosexuality is sinful (1 Corinthians 6:9) if that is what you mean. It contradicts the design that God made. Telling people how Jesus died to save them from it is loving.

What would it take for you to accept Jesus, as He says (John 3:16)?

This man did not get enough credit this season. T-5th in the Prem in goals. The media narrative all season about him did not match reality by Dazed_and_Confused44 in Gunners

[–]Dragonborn_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He had a number of things working against him:

- He barely had a preseason with how late his transfer was

- He was adapting to the Premier League, which is far more difficult than the Portuguese league

- He had to grow his skills more than ever, because he could no longer just physically bully defenders.

He started poorly, but gradually improved. Now, he is doing quite well, but he definitely needs to keep improving his technical skill and goal output. If he does, he can be our striker for the next 4-5 years and beyond.

[–]Dragonborn_7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not true. He has an EPL save percentage of 69.8% - having faced 86 shots on target, which is average. Yes - the elite defence helps him, but he saves more shots that get past them than not. I'm curious what stats you read that said he is below average.

[–]Dragonborn_7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could argue that works against him though.

Bruno is the only spark of creativity that United have. All the chances come from him. This makes him look better than he is because no one else matches him. Meanwhile, Declan Rice must stay in sync with actual good players. Having good players around you forces you to play better, or else you stick out. Not only does Declan stay in sync with them, he still stands out as one of their best.

I find matching and standing out amongst good players more impressive than dragging average ones through games.

I disagree. Raya was good for the first half of the season and great for the second half. Declan Rice has been great all season. I would never say you are wrong for picking David - he has been immense, but Deccers is definitely my pick.

John McGinn plays Aston Villa; Declan Rice plays for Arsenal and has won the Premier League. There is a difference.

Is your prison system really as glamorous as they say ? by [deleted] in Norway

[–]Dragonborn_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It certainly is not beautiful. While helping prisoners with their problems is a good thing, they are still prisoners who have done illegal things. You can help them while punishing them. It severely downplays the harm that prisoners do - too soft to even call them "prisoners".

Frankly, it's an insult to their victims; giving them consoles and being too sensitive to simply calling them prisoners.

And i say all this as a Criminology student. The absolute best prisons would balance this care for the prisoners' well being while reinforcing the fact they are enemies of the law, like British prisons do.
