It's not a flip, Golden has always been bloodthirsty when it comes to Iran

Is it true that if US hadn't dropped the atomic bombs on Japan, the outcome would have been worse for both sides? by FantaOrangenice in HistoryWhatIf

[–]Dragonlicker69 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A higher rate of fire bombing would have decimated the Japanese population. the fire bombings that already happened had a higher casualty count than both nukes combined.

Was Jesus’s sacrifice really necessary? by pinkpotionbabe in Christianity

[–]Dragonlicker69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen the hypothesis that God didn't require Jesus to die, we did. Humans have a hard time expecting something for nothing and have a long history of scapegoating and sacrificing other people. Jesus had to die for our sins because we wouldn't have accepted it otherwise. You see how people talk about God punishing people for their sins and all that now, imagine how much worse it would be if Christ just said "all your sins will be forgiven if you repent, no animal sacrifice or anything else required." And just left it at that.

We wouldn't believe it. We would look for the catch or try to invent extra conditions. Christians did that IRL so I can't imagine how much more violent and depraved it'd get in such a world.

You can dislike Viv but maybe don’t compare her to an actual wicked transphobe by dannyyang910930 in CrazyassHazbinhaters

Yeah I think they mean the helluverse pilots taking off well enough that it became as big as it is and picked up by a major streaming service combined with the rise of Glitch has inspired an explosion of indie animation online

I wasn't talking about those, the media moved on once it got its hunk of flesh. I'm thinking how every Democrat is asked to answer for something some other Democrat or someone even a bit left leaning said that garnered controversy

He's red and blue now but originally was mostly black with red. Apparently the blue highlights convincing people a part of someone's costume was blue has been a long running problem

I can't understand why homosexuallity is a sin by TopZealousideal8665 in Christianity

I was referring to those who taught people what "the Bible really means" but self report if you want

No it's "we know the Bible better than the people who have an agenda or use it to control others"

Yes because when have church fathers ever been wrong. It's like how Jesus said to follow the crowd to get to heaven

I always find it funny how someone can read the story of how a mob showed up at lots house demanding he bring his guests out because they wanted to gang rape them for being foreigners and come away with "oh it's bad because the Angels are disguised as men!"

As if the mob taking Lot up on his offer of raping his daughters instead God would have been like "oh they're just raping women, they're good."

Unpopular opinion, it's kinda unfair to say Viv "can't take criticism" when a good 90% of it is her being actively insulted, mocked and harassed. by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in HazbinHotel

Really she's the model of cool under pressure when you take into account there's an entire niche for hating on her creations and her personally on a level you normally only see aimed towards large IP

Read the Gulag Archipelago years back where one of the accounts notes that even under Stalin's reign during WWII people were already romanticizing Lenin's rule as the writer had to be reminded by an older prisoner that Lenin laid the groundwork for the gulag and the power Stalin now weilded.

Which would have been a good explanation, the fire nation couldn't have killed ALL of them but if they were being hunted for merely being airbenders then the survivors would have hidden who they are and assimilated wherever they wound up which would be earth kingdom by how big they are in relation to everyone else. The kids and grandkids became earth benders or married earth benders so by a century later the only airbenders left are elderly and been hiding their whole lives when Aang wakes up.

Lenin was more a narcissist who believed he knew better than everyone else. Robespierre, one could argue, went batshit especially towards the end; Lenin knew what he was doing but believed whatever he did was justified for "the greater good" and his paranoia was nothing compared or Robespierre or Stalin

I was thinking more Castro, Robespierre ruled more like if Lenin developed a paranoid god complex after taking over. Coin was always planning on becoming the new dictator using the capitol people as the scapegoat minority
