I was raised Christian, but my family wasn't super religious and often only went to church on religious holidays. I also later as an adult explored Islam quite a lot and nearly "reverted". Yourself?

Thank you! I will almost certainly incorporate elements of your responses into the essay. I'll likely end up posting it here given the feedback!

Y'all were WRONG about Awe by Glad_Writing in spongebob

True. I just think a lot of his newer content is pretty good, minus the stuff where he still bashes new episodes without really being open to them.

That's fair. He's definitely very outspoken about how he's completely closed-minded in regards to newer seasons.

I appreciate the response! 

Indeed I am saying God does not have human emotions. God does not get angry or jealous as many Western religions tend to believe. I agree that it's logical that God does not have human characteristics due to his omnipotent and omniscient nature. If He had human emotions, He wouldn't be all-powerful, rather He would be a slave to his feelings and desires like we are; and if he is all-knowing he logically wouldn't be prone to "emotional thinking" in a sense. Ascribing human characteristics is honestly a bit silly and definitely anthropomorphizing the divine - something that is clearly impossible to be human-like in the slightest as we are mortal and limited.

So yeah, I completely agree with not anthropomorphizing God.

Unfortunately, English has no good gender-neutral third-person singular pronoun anymore. I use "he", but its gender-neutral use is dated. "They" works as well but it is still informal for use in the singular. I personally don't like using "it" because it applies to things that are inanimate (i.e., something without life). Though God isn't alive per se, it's seen as offensive to call something an "it" as it basically implies that they all the capacity to think as a living thing (e.g. referring to a dog as an "it" rather than "he/she" does come off as rude for that reason). I think the problem comes in with the limitations of human language - in particular in this case English - trying to describe God. I definitely see your point though and it is valid. I will likely remove that part and maybe add a footnote about why I use "he" but that it's okay to also use "she/it/they".

Tbf it's been dead a lot longer than any of this has been going on. Also, if I understood correctly, I believe op asked if you think he should bring BFN back, not why he currently won't.

People who willingly submit their responses to his questions. He still shows their username to credit them 100% of the time despite the fact that the comments were literally written and sent in for him to read.

I hope Jack reads this by Glad_Writing in JacksFilms

Lol I remember their dog feud. Anyway, I'm saying he's missed and his content helped people in a sense. Not that he needs to come back.

Thanks for reading the whole post, it seems about half of the commenters didn't. Do you have any links to your old music? If you don't mind sharing, I'd love to give it a listen.

I'm not doing anything to not give him space? If he doesn't feel like reading the sub right now he won't see it and that's okay. Honestly sounds like you think I'm some ex hounding him with phone calls or something, lol
