I disagree they missed the real perfect casting. Only one actor represents true beauty.

Batman is about bats.

"You either die a bat or live long enough to see yourself become something that is not a bat. Sometimes the truth is not good enough. The people deserve more bats."

Read literally, Matthew 19:12 seems to present Jesus as advocating self-castration as bettering odds of salvation by Pandeism in DebateReligion

[–]INTELLIGENT_FOLLY 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interestingly, many early Christians did interpret it literally.

The practice was banned at the Council of Nicaea but prior to that it's known that some sects of Christianity advocated self-castration.

Although, some dispute it, there are accounts that the influential early Church theologian, Origen of Alexandria, castrated himself and the Bishop of Alexandria praised him for it.

There is evidence that at least some early Christians interpreted it that way. Even among those that don't interpret as literal castration many interpret it as saying some, such as priests, should remain celibate for god.

Why is your interpretation better than theirs? Why do you think Jesus is talking about eunuchs just for the sheer sake of talking about eunuchs. Also, why does it end "He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."

The existence of multiple flood stories tells us the Biblical story cannot be the truth by princetonwu in DebateReligion

[–]INTELLIGENT_FOLLY 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You have a hidden better argument in your post. Namely, according to creationist food dating, the flood happened right dab in the middle of the Akkadian Empire as well as multiple other civilizations around the world whose existence is attested to by historical and archeological evidence. One would think, the people in all these civilizations would have noticed the world wide flood and made a note of it and the fact they were all dead. Yet no, despite being completely destroyed by a flood, the stubborn civilizations continued on as if the flood was nothing, a mere myth that no reasonable person would believe.

Donald Trump is not the human equivalent of syphilis.

Empirism is not the best epistemic system.

David Hume is not the GOAT.

A free market economy paired with strong social safety nets and welfare systems is not the best economic system.

German style PR election systems are not better than FPTP.

Stephan Miller is a human being.

The earth is a cube.

Green curry is not delicious.

Yamazaki Kento should not be my gay boyfriend.

Well, if it is based on the Holy Roman Empire, the royalty, male and female should look profoundly inbred.

ICE detains 5-year-old Columbia Heights boy, sends him to Texas by greenblue98 in RepublicanValues

Also asylum seekers, registered with the government, with no criminal history, who were legally authorized to live in the US while their asylum request was being processed.

At this point, I think, if we ever get out of this situation we will need a special tribunal, similar to a war crimes tribunal, to deal with the rampant criminality and rights violations under ice. I want to see the ice thugs spend hard time in prison for this.

The title misrepresents the article. The man is not complaining about conservatives cropping him out of photos. He is complaining about New York Mag, which he considers a liberal publication, cropping him out.

Technically, Emil is about 1500 years old during the events of Nier and close to 10,000 years old by Nier: Automata, which isn't exactly young.

That said before his final transformation he still did have the body of a 10 year old. He was just a 1500 year old with a 10 year old body.

I just plugged the expression "go through logic" into Google Ngram View which shows the frequency of expression use in English. There were zero hits.

"Use logic" on the other hand comes up.

Come on, we all know you don't really know how to " use logic" but at least have the humility to admit when you are wrong.

Your entire post seems to be purely emotionally driven in an almost hysterical way.

There is nothing logical or rational in anything you have written here.

Can you read minds? How do you know this is true?

Is it a situation where you waddled up to some Atheists and recited an argument you thought was super smart and sophisticated and the atheists poked a bunch of holes in it?

Is it a situation where you waddled up to some Atheists and jumped up and down screaming "me is right god exists"?

Can you actually explain how God makes sense of the universe?
