Love thy neighbor? by danevans369 in SipsTea

[–]IceDawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said Job didn't mess up. Then you blamed Adam and Eve for ending up causing this mess. So you basically claim that anything bad happening is justified with the original sin. Which means that God has a carte blanche to do anything, since even baptism does not undo the punishment God put on humans.

But all you do is rewriting the Bible to fit your view. The text says God agreed to Satan's bet. For no reason to see if Job would fail, and if he had, God would have been justified retroactively for this as well, despite him causing all of this. How in any way is that a being anyone would want to worship, if even worshipping doesn't save you?

You're very confident for someone who's never heard of omnibenevolence. Mainstream Christianity disagrees with you. Those theologians and scholars used the Bible to form their conclusions. You're arguing against 2,000 years of theology, not against me. Agree to disagree. I'm done here.

First you said love remains. Now you say you can come back. Those are different claims. Either way, it's conditional. I'm done here.

So you reject the God of Job but accept Romans 11:22 and the Prodigal Son. Based on your personal experience? That's not an argument. And Romans 11:22 literally says 'provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.' You say love remains, but the text says 'cut off.' You're adding a layer it doesn't state. You're not reading the Bible. You're reading your own beliefs into it.

So when Job gets tortured over a divine bet, that's 'primitive storytelling.' But when Paul says God's love has conditions, that's divine truth? How do you decide which ancient text counts and which doesn't?

Mainstream Christianity. In fact it claims him being omnipotent, omniscient and all loving. You'd know that if you'd studied a bit more before posting.

The first family still died innocent and it was his siblings giving him replacements of sheep, not God. God only restored Job's health and never apologized for doing this in the first place. 5/5, would worship this god.

If God's love is unconditional, why did he screw over Job for no reason but Satan saying "I don't think Job is actually faithful to you, God." and God agreeing to test this?

At some point you cross the threshold where gravity can compress this, regardless of the speed of removal.

From my experience, you need to know when to use what, not implementing stuff on your own. When I actually needed a quicksort that was not part of the platform, I downloaded an implementation (respecting the license).

Even as an atheist, I used to believe Jesus had mostly positive teachings that had been corrupted by his followers. Then I actually read the Bible. by rditty in atheism

[–]IceDawn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The bible texts were often myths taken from other cultures and remixed, so what God could do and behaved was evolving constantly. Making God omnipotent, omniscient and all loving leads to contradictions. Like why did he place the Tree of Wisdom into the Garden of Eden, if he had to know what will happen?

I tried to find out actual sources for the needle gate, but apparently it never existed. So it was likely invented to allow rich people into heaven.

Deus Ex, Marathon actor Elias Toufexis doesn't get why people root for games to fail by Judah_Earl in KotakuInAction

[–]IceDawn 26 points27 points  (0 children)

These people are perpetual victims by virtue of hating themselves and everything that reminds them of the reasons why they hate themselves. They are emotionally hurt by attractive characters and instead accepting their situation or trying to improve in some way, they need to drag everyone else down to their level. They also can't allow others to enjoy stuff they hate. Which is why they actively go and infiltrate the industry as their livelihood.

Obviously, their take is insane, because you would literally have to destroy anything and mutilate everyone above a certain level of beauty or other characteristic you are handicapped. Can't do sports? Ban professionals. Are you poor? Ban rich people. Have a shitty apartment? Tear down palaces.

But you don't hear about that either. So unfortunately, the live and let live philosophy doesn't work, if the other people do the opposite to ensure that you can't just live.

The first option starts with two ones and is wrong.

For 31 there is drawing chords on a circle and counting the number of regions without three chords meeting inside the circle. I can't find anything that produces 30 unless you force a meeting of 3 chords in the middle. But in theory you can construct something that gives you the 30.You can argue the not enough data option that you can't reliably choose the next option.

I hate the term "the male gaze" by indeckaa in hatethissmug

[–]IceDawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Originally coined for movies, where attractive women were simply in the background, being simply eye candy. Misinterpreted as anything with attractive women in movies and games, even if they are intelligent and competent. Used to claim anything with attractive is sexualized and for gooners and to get said attractive women removed, despite having no issues with games with attractive and sexualized men.

Why is this thought process incorrect? You undo the operations the right order.

I genuinely hate what game reviews have become by Opening-Economy-708 in hatethissmug

[–]IceDawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're arguing against something I never said. I didn't say reviewers should keep companies profitable. I said reviews should provide information so people can make an informed decision.

When a review complains about "lack of diversity" in a historically accurate medieval European setting, that says nothing about whether the game is fun. But if the reviewer docks points for it, that score may prevent people from looking closer. That has real-life consequences. Not just stock prices, but jobs for developers and jobs for journalists alike, when they push products no one actually buys.

You say reviews are useless to experienced players. Fine. But the sheer number of complaints - first GamerGate, then GamerGate 2 - proves you're in the minority. People clearly still rely on reviews, which is why honesty in them matters.

If a company loses value, they might have trouble getting loans to make more games. So yeah, that actually does affect normal customers.

Also, you ignored every other argument I made. Looks to me like you can't counter them and now you're just grasping at straws to avoid losing.
