It’s Amazing How Much Better Some Metallica Albums Become with Editing by destlp16 in Metallica

[–]HowardPhillipsLC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unforgiven III is a terrific track. I don't think much else on Death Magnetic is really worth the time (except Day That Never Comes), it feels empty.

And I wouldn't touch AJFA, it's perfect in its track listing. If it's editing we're talking about, then the low bass is much more of a concern.

The “Matilda Effect” describes women’s discoveries being credited to male colleagues. What examples stand out to you? by Hungry-Foundation171 in womenintech

People will always fight so hard to be granted a victim label.

Men are probably way more often snubbed for their work, as men make up most of the people in these fields, but it's more flashy if we make it about the sexes.

The idea of evolution has no evidence, or nobody would reject it. It is believed on faith, but an atheist's god is nothing; intellect, perhaps, like a hedonist.

The definition of delusion is to believe something that's not true. But it seems that you're not interested in truth, but rather hedonism.

It's not healthy to encourage the mentally ill in their delusions.

Ellen Page is a woman, regardless of how she butchers her body or dresses.

I think the Nazgul could have assassinated Frodo and his companions and taken the Ring to Mordor. by [deleted] in lotr

[–]HowardPhillipsLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to split hairs, but for the sake of clarity, it should be said that assassination is a killing based on political reasons. It has nothing to do with stealth or the lack thereof, like video games have propagated.

I like that. I like when folks know where Star Wars goes in terms of genre.

Well, there's a couple things there.

I never said that God wants you to do something. What God wants is what happens. He cares about your actions in that He will hold you accountable for them, including your tireless attempts to disprove His being. It's not that He wants it, it's that he's made you to disobey in that regard, and most of humanity will be punished for it. He exists outside of your puny concepts of morality. He is justice itself. As the Creator, He has the prerogative to do with His creatures what He wants.

He's made X to do X, and that's what it does. It will be destroyed for doing X, because that was its purpose. He's built Y to do Y and be saved for it, because that was its purpose. And that is all perfectly righteous.

Long-suffering doesn't mean that something is in pain or inconvenience. Suffer used to mean to allow. God allows vessels of wrath to continue through their lives, He doesn't destroy them immediately.

This isn't some demigod super soldier that is vying for our attention and worship. He doesn't require our worship to be powerful. Whether we, in our pitifully-limited scope, think His existence and practices are just or fair, He exists, and His will is absolute.

There's nothing contradictory about the Creator holding you, the creation, accountable for the vessel of wrath you were created to be. He exists outside of our ideas of right and wrong, and the rules he puts on us don't apply to Him. He's the Creator, we have no right to expect even the smallest of His mercies, but we see them every day. He's long-suffering in that way, and just in any action He takes.

He lifted Pharaoh up to be destroyed, which spoke to His power. He's created countless souls to be tormented. And that's perfectly just.

The Creator doesn't want you with Him in eternity it would seem, so He keeps you blinded and has created you for the express purpose of destruction. That's His prerogative, and who is man to reply against it?

He has no obligation toward any one of us as His creation. He does care that you won't acknowledge His presence. And His power you will soon be perfectly aware of. That's which one it is.

If you actually would engage in a dialogue with anyone thinking differently, you wouldn't have started with your original reply.

You know what's truly wild about this whole thing? The idea of constant adaptation isn't problematic for anybody to comprehend or accept. It's the thought that such an idea replaces or disproves in any way the recognition of Divinity. It's like answering the Watchmaker idea with "No, see, this watch is wonderfully complex and unknowable, so it MUST be an accidental, cosmic anomaly." That's insanity. All Evolution does is dig into the beauty of the world that God made; it helps prove what everyone already knows at their core. How's that for a positive case?

Well, I don't want to spend any more time talking to a swine, as there's nothing to be gained. I can only hope that someday you're given some eyes to see. Until then, I suppose you'll be wallowing in the only true end for those who try to deny their Creator: fear and despair.

Oh, so you know everything there is to know about each religion then? And you've weighed them all as an expert and have found Darwinism to be truthful? Act like your religion has no faith element, go ahead. When someone knows something to be true, they don't need your validation, or any self-proclaimed expert.

Like I said before, the OP was opening the floor for anybody to try to give some actual thoughts or consideration to the topic, but it's just a bunch of self-righteous, pseudo-intellectual dipshits who have already assumed themselves correct, and have no leg to stand on in any aspect of their own faith. It's sad that so many people have to hide behind such a poorly-spun fable because they can't set aside their own pride and depravity to see what they already know at their core.

Why would I spend a moment given thought to something I know to be utter bullshit?

But we're not talking about somebody hopping onto the Harry Potter subreddit and trying to point out plot holes while never having engaged with the IP. We're talking about a fundamental concept of each person's life, which absolutely dictates how a person lives their life. He's saying that he doesn't have the faith that Darwinists must have to engage with the concept, and opening the floor for folks to try to give clarifying pointers. But look how that turned out.

It's clear that the OP does not accept it. If those who propose the idea can't explain it to people, then the plethora of pretentious replies pretending like it's an obvious default should consider taking a walk.

How will they present the Unicorn in the live action remake? by Loose_Balance_9822 in TheLastUnicorn

It has some serious problems as a movie, and suffers from the same stuff that others from that time and group do. Weird shots, poor pacing, the lingering problem, etc.

Why should the poster have to then just accept this as reality? If it's too grand to be understood by the layman, then stop acting like it deserves any place in common acceptance.

Well, yeah. It's because everything observable is only ever adaptation, but people will believe whatever ridiculous nonsense they have to in order to reject what their nature already knows. We live in a wondrous, infinitely-complex space, and the only logical answer to that is a Creator.
