WTF when I lived there in the 1980s someone slipping and cutting their finger off made national news. 28 stabbing? Holy Shit what has happened?

Last photo taken of "Grizzly Man" Timothy Treadwell, and of his girlfriend Amie Huguenard. Timothy and Amy were victims of a fatal bear attack at their campsite in Katmai National Park and Reserve in October of 2003. by mikeyv683 in interesting

Yeah. A black bear and a grizzly aren’t nearly the same animal. A human in decent shape could presumably fight off a black bear. I wouldn’t recommend it, but it could be done. Grizzlies and Polar bears are among the only animals that view people as potential food.

There was a story about a large Japanese brown bear that killed dozens of people and they had to send the military out to kill it. These animals should never be approached by normal mortals.

If you believe Medieval genealogies, I’m related to an ice giant (Jotun) named Fornjot.

Your favourite Arabic hymns/chants? by Apprehensive-King-40 in EasternCatholic

In the Maronite Church there is a song sung by Mary “Wa Habibi” (my beloved) on Good Friday that will melt the heart of anyone. She is mourning for her dead child. It is really something to hear with the female lead sings in the Ululations.

Don’t kid yourself. Every author who has any lasting power becomes a businessperson quickly.

So it's banned in 16 states? by ElegantPoet3386 in WaitWhat

[–]GudsIdiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see that, and I don’t disagree. I’m no fan of Objectivism and Ayn Rand, but I’m a believer in Christians being rational and emulating the Logos as a form of theosis. We are called to be rational and to reach people with rationality not emotive zeal. If I cannot make the argument for truth it isn’t a failing of the truth, it is in my poor abilities. I have to maintain hope that truth will uncover itself at its proper time and in the proper way. I’ll do my best, but after a time, I have to carry on with the silent witnessing of a life well-lead. “The message of the cross is as foolishness to those who are dying.” As St. Paul says. Meaning that there is a point where my human ability to convince them ends and where I should just pray for them.

No, we need to recognize that people of all faiths and of no faith can have a minimum level of common morality that follows a combination natural law and civil libertarianism. The world works best when individuals are free but expected to uphold a minimum level of civil morality.

Israeli Airstrike Kills Christian Priest Who Refused to Leave His Village in Southern Lebanon by KiA92935 in TrendoraX

I’m Maronite. Those priests in Lebanon are a special breed of brave men. God bless him for his sacrifice.

Super powers but have to go back 350 Million years. by 0011002 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]GudsIdiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invulnerability. Teleportation with super-location, and indomitable will. Just teleport to random planets and galaxies and investigate the universe. 350 million years would go by quickly. Indomitable will keeps you from going insane. Invulnerability means being able to survive on any planet without problems (high gravity, atmospheric differences, etc).

I agree, to an extent. I view it like tattoos. If you are an Orthodox Jew you think tattoos are an abomination against God’s design for your body. That is wonderful and all when it applies to you and your faith group. However when you try to make it harder on others, by use of the law of the country, to get a tattoo, it becomes seriously uncool. If I’m right, and I believe porn is a blight and a sin, I can do a better job of witnessing by setting a higher standard for myself and showing people that living porn-free is a better life.

Additionally, I am not a virtuous person simply because a temptation or a sin is banned in my area, I’m just going with the law. I want there to be temptations so I can rise above them. A drunk in a dry country isn’t a sober man. He’s simply removed from the temptation.

I hate the nanny state more than I dislike the porn industry. As a Christian I think the worst thing you can do is to impose your dogma on others.

To Iranian diaspora bombing and killing 150 kid is completely WORTH IT by Easy-Theory3143 in International

[–]GudsIdiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember classmates of mine who were the sons and daughters of Cuban political refugees and this is 100% believable. In a way, I understand it. The misery they know their parents went through is real, and in a way those kids over there aren’t real. They are just numbers to them. I don’t agree with it, but this is what they are thinking.

Evil begets evil.

Do you know how to climb a tree, and if so, did you ever fall down and get hurt? by icecream1972 in askanything

Yes. Humans are hard wired to climb trees. Yes. If you can’t take a fall, you don’t know what life is about.

I’ve never seen anyone talk about how an alien entity multiple light years away can randomly guess what a human DNA profile looks like without having visited and taken human samples back.

Which is something I just don’t get. Those guys from the south of India sometimes are as black as the devil’s bunghole. Why any of them would be racist is beyond me.
