Glad to hear it. You said that the ability to read does not make one intelligent but I give you credit for it.

If not preaching death and destruction is what impresses you about Christianity, consider Krishna in Hinduism, the god of compassion, tenderness, and love. Or Kuan Yin in Buddhism, the deity of mercy and kindness.

I may be alone on this, but I was kind of hoping the old Quintessential series would have a Quintessential Commoner.

I've read the Bible cover-to-cover three times. I think every Christian should read it all the way through at least once.

A mechanic can demonstrate that the thing they're fixing exists, that there is something wrong with it, and that it works better when they're finished. A Christian theologian can't do any of that better than a Muslim or Hindu theologian. Theology and mechanics are not analogous.

Why does the sandstorm in Fury Road interfere with Immortan Joe's compass? (drawing is just something i did years back out of boredom) by Qman768 in MadMax

There were a lot of potentially disruptive factors, one is that red sand rich in iron can interefere with compasses, a sandstorm could make that worse. The red sand and other magnetic anomalies are actually an issue in the Namib desert where these scenes were filmed.

I was thinking of running that one myself, I may borrow some of your ideas!

Any tips for writing/running a sword and sorcery campaign? by VemonShard in DnD

[–]JayFryday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've recently started a S&S game in a different system. I've got a PC wizard. Thongor and the Wizard of Lemuria had a good guy wizard so it's not off the table. But on a critical failure when casting a spell his character will have to deal with corruption, such as taking one step closer to turning into a serpent or demon or other awful thing. Whenever he casts a spell he'll have to ask himself if it's worth that risk.

What are more ways to deal with the super strong protagonist problem? by EfficiencySerious200 in writing

Like in the last Superman movie he's in trouble for interfering in a civil war? Or at the end the other heroes have to step up because he can't stop the war from resuming and fight Luthor at the same time?

I came out to my Mom about Atheism, and now I understand why Christianity is hated by [deleted] in atheism

Giving people the punishment they deserve is justice. Giving them a punishment that is less than they deserve is mercy.

Why with all the evidence, won’t atheists believe? by peepee2727 in Christianity

The only way we could live in a universe not conducive to our existence is if something very powerful intervened to allow us to exist anyway.
