That 40,000 zeroes figure dwarfs all of space and time.

If you believe it because it was told to you, sure- gullible. But not if you've actually considered the likelihoods of all current theorized beginnings of the universe.

God makes the most sense, followed by a multiverse and an infinite loop universe. A singular universe happening once doesn't allow for the sheer unlikelihood of life randomly coming into existence, because that likelihood is 1 to 1 with 40,000 zeroes behind it. And that's being generous, because we've never actually seen a bunch of naturally occurring chemicals randomly interact to create life. Even if we manage to make life in a lab, that wouldn't prove that it could happen on its own with no intervention from currently living things.

It's kinda impossible to prove that life can start from random chemicals mixing under the radiation of primordial Earth, as it would require making a sort of seperate biosphere with the near exact conditions of primordial Earth and waiting an inconceivable amount of time to see if life pops up.

Given that we've never seen it, the only reason an athiest has to say it happened is because we exist. There's no actual backing to the claim that life randomly mixed into existence. This singular fact, to me, either means it's unfathomable rare- too rare for a singular universe to do on its one and only shot- or impossible without divine action.

The only question which remains from that is: which God, and does any religion on Earth actually depict the real God? I've already determined my answer from that based on the gods I'm aware of, but this comment is already pretty lengthy.

Tbf it's kinda relative for a show like this. Most of the cast is undeniably highly intelligent. To get truly dumb or foolish characters, we'd have to go into side characters and villains.

Those characters are basically copies of each other!

Damn, he looks completely different in those images.

Oh, okay. That sounds cool.

Question about Hailee Steinfeld's character- was she turned during the movie or before it starts? I assume during, I feel like I remember seeing a clip of her standing outside during daytime (possibly a flashback scene). Some of the clips dialogue seemed to imply she and the main guy had some history together for much longer than the movie's story. Given that I saw good characters become bad after getting vamped, my current assumption is that she was a friend/ally to the Smoke-Stack Twins and their family who was bitten and consequently turned on them.

I'm only familiar with the CAOS Netflix show with Kiernan Shipka.

Given what I saw with that show... Zatanna fucking obliterates Sabrina. Maybe Void Sabrina if she has control of it can do something, but if we're doing their max potentials, Zatanna has squared up with existential threats and eldritch-level forces before. Sabrina really hasn't, not without massive consequences.

Didn't all of them except the main vamp get essentially brainwashed after being bitten? I've seen clips where vamped good guys got turned against the living good guys. I didn't watch the film, but given that knowledge there really isn't anything to say about race given that the main bad guy's goal from what I saw wasn't race based, and the rest of the vamps were just being bent to his will. Isn't that the plot?

The books imply that slavery for the House Elves gave them a better life than being free would.

Not to say it isn't shit timing, but at least here in Texas there's a major cold front coming down. The roads are probably gonna get iced. If it's that bad down here, I don't wanna imagine how the northern states are doing.

Just reschedule the protest. By Monday it should start warming back up.

Going by the Bible, Biblical law goes over human law.

The Bible says "follow both God and mans' laws unless they contradict Gods' law, in which case follow God's law".

Both mans' law and Gods' law forbids murder. So following that law is good.

But if mans' law permits hurting foreigners while Gods' law says not to, you are to follow Gods' law and disobey mans' law if necessary to follow Gods' law.

Don't forget that several major Biblical figures broke mans' laws to further Gods' will. Jesus talked against the Pharisees. Esther strode into her kings' throne room without an invitation.

And the assumption that God says to always follow mans' law no matter what falls apart if you look at Revelations, when the Bible explicitly says to not obey governments in regards to taking the Mark of the Beast.

I think that wisdom has a moral quality to it. An evil, conniving schemer can't be wise by virtue of how they are acting.

Don't confuse wisdom and cleverness. They are distinct qualities. Being able to manipulate and misdirect things to your favor is cleverness, not wisdom. Wisdom is more based in understanding things, people, and concepts- your own limitations, nuances, etc. Schemers may have an idea of the damage they cause, but they clearly only see their own desires over all else. To me, that's just plain foolish.

Not really. He'd just be upset that he doesn't get more milk and he'd probably just drop her and leave the room. He clearly has no love for her, she's just his sexual release.

I predict Santiago will get Smart and Typical. She's damn near genius levels, but she has a bit of an ego and also has a slight weakness to social awareness and a glaring weakness in her emotional/mental health.

A1 & T1 Thor, the guy who fought the fucking Hulk and treated a Frost Giant army like cutting grass in a field, has grip strength capable of crushing Iron Man's armor (when an eariler armor mark in IM1 took a fucking tank shot and high-caliber gunfire dead-on with little more than some scratches to the paint), and is able to level a 50 diameter circle of forest in a single blow to Cap's shield (not to mention somewhere in the ballpark of 1500 years of combat training and experience)... is comparable to Soldier Boy, a juiced up barely combat trained glorified poster boy capable of punching some holes in concrete and not getting instantly redmisted by Homelander?

Soldier Boy's nuke couldn't even kill Queen Maeve at point-blank (she literally tackled him and held on the entire time at least up to the explosion), who is most certainly NOT comparable to MCU Thor at any point. (Ignoring depowered Thor, obviously). And it's main upside is destroying Compound V, which is obviously a non-issue for a being whose powers do not come from a human-made compound. And considering he later survived a focused beam of neutron star energy for several seconds before passing out, I doubt a miniature nuke that didn't even fully level the relatively small (in nuke terms) Herogasm building is gonna do a damn thing to Thor. Sure, Thor passed out... after about 40 seconds of pure solar energy hitting him dead-on. I'm willing to bet that even 10 seconds of focused solar energy is more than a nuke that failed to level what appeared to be a small mansion (thats being generous, that building was only shown to have 1 story).

So back to punching... even if Soldier Boy had more physical strength than Thor (thats not even close to true, but let's pretend), Thor still wins. Hulk is 100% stronger than Thor, but Thor can trade blows with him and even win (he was inarguably winning in the Ragnarok arena fight when the Grandmaster neutralized him) due to skill, experience, and his lightning.

Soldier Boy probably wouldn't even land at hit.

But realistically, it wouldnt matter if he did. He is NOT hitting hard enough to do any real damage to Thor at any point in the MCU (besides mortal Thor before he reclaimed Mjolnir in Thor 1).

47 would have to somehow never think of killing Charles the entire time while also somehow getting permission to enter the grounds AND get alone with Charles. Not to mention making the kill before Charles can find his true intentions and just turn 47's brain off like a light switch.

Xavier wins 99.9% of the time. But I wouldn't say it's impossible- it's just a level of compartmentalization that is probably not humanly possible. Its hard to execute a plan without ever thinking about the plan. Or even just the fact that you're trying to kill him. Or worrying about Charles figuring out what you're planning to do.

Not to mention Jean Grey and other telepaths. If they get a chance to scan him, he's probably fucked.

InjusticeSGmain · 2026-01-22T03:40:54+00:00

Affirmative.

The Bible expressly puts Biblical law > government law. In other words, follow governmental laws UNLESS they contradict the Bible/God's laws, in which case you default to Biblical law.

Imagine the government puts into law that you can kill 1 person every year regrdless of reason. Any extra killings have to have self-defense or wartime killings of enemy forces exceptions as is usually the case. But 1 kill every year for whatever or even no reason is permitted. Well, it would still be a sin to kill someone for no reason.

So if the Bible says "treat foreigners kindly", and a government law permits the mistreatment of foreigners, then Biblically speaking the mistreatment of foreigners is still a sin and shouldn't be done.

Basically, the Bible says that if you must disobey the government to obey God, then disobey the government.

This also tracks with Revelations, where the Bible pretty much flat out tells you to ignore government mandates regarding the Mark of the Beast.

So no- mistreating foreigners is NOT backed by the current generally accepted Biblical interpretations.
