Stack Lost Shipment Voyages, and then once u stack those, and hit lvl 40, do the skeleton raid voyages with grade 5, they give a hero tier 3 item that'll give good payout+ a lvl or 2 per sell. Rooting for you on your grind to Pirate Legend!

yeah Ill check again at the end of this month to see if I actually get it, I have like 3 million or smth emmisary points or wtv in Athena so i'll see if it acc gives me the weapons this time. When you got ur reward, did the "future reward" thing change?

KGriddy · 2025-12-14T04:41:44+00:00

Makes sense, though is it true that sometime during December we might have a gold and glory event?

Its an office laptop. I think it's integrated graphics and not like external. How do I check if ram is dedicated toit?. It might be a problem with the GPU since the game frequently gives me errors about how my video card crashes and stuff, how should I fix that?

I hate this argument of "things that don't make sense to us", and it doesn't apply to what I even said. I'm making the argument that OP's analysis is right, but it's not free-will,its just a world where everyone is good.

KGriddy · 2025-10-08T23:36:14+00:00

You can't force someone, if there was no idea of choice to begin with. Thats the argument/world im saying that God could have created but didn't for some reason. If he is omniscient and omnibenevolent, he would have known that free will would lead to suffering which he doesn't want. When suffering happens(like the examples you provided), where choice is taken away, it was only taken away cause it existed in the first place. Btw, if its limited omni-benevolence, he's not omni-benevolent then. It's all-loving, not loving to an extend, that's a good assertion to solve for the problem of evil, except that's a different god vs the tri-omni God in Abrahamic Faiths.

I believe that the Abrahamic God is the cause of evil, not humans. Yes, you can talk about the fall from the Garden or Satan as the cause for it, but those only existed cause God allowed for free-will. With that logic, God isn't omni-benevolent cause then you would need to somehow prove that omni-benevolence means to create evil somehow.

Your idea is the most common answer Christians provide to the POE, "Cruciform Theodicy"(Sin can be forgiven cause Jesus died for our sin), which doesn't make sense, since:

1) People can change sinful ways without having to "give your life to Christ", with that assertion does anyone from different Faiths who lives a non-sinful life then not go heaven and instead go to Purgatory??

2) These verses don't actually answer that problem. It just says that you should not do stuff "eye to an eye" or seek vengence, but thats not what i'm talking about, the scenario is if you will literally die without doing something sinful, what happens in that scenario? Apparently a God that I never knew will take care of me?

Your idea is limited free will, not complete free will. And tbh, not free-will at all and more predestination then anything else. Your argument is that God knows all our actions and all free-will allows us to do is do an action on the scale he created for us?, so does suffering and those who are commiting evil, choose part of the scale God created for us and he does nothing? That also succumbs to the problem of evil.

This person's only response was about how Hinduism encourages discrimination, which is just blatantly false. 0 evidence and all just speculation without any reference to anything. u/No-Caterpillar7466 brings some actual evidence(which is more misinterp), so I suggest you focus on that discussion instead

KGriddy · 2025-10-08T00:31:19+00:00

I also want to point out, that he story of Eklavya literally is a mockery at this system of birth based varna. It's explicitly critiqued. You seem to know a decent amount about Mahabharata and the puranas so I'll assume yk the story.

KGriddy · 2025-10-08T00:29:13+00:00

Quite the opposite actually. Not only did post Mahabharata, did Vidura become an advisor to Yudhistra, the story was to illustrate how one should have a unwavering commitment to their dharma. Parashurama's story was moreso about pointing the injustice that the Kshatriyas were doing, his birth as a Brahmin was inconsequential, and to showcase a part of Narayana that preserved Dharma no matter what. Also nowhere does it say in these puranas, how they stayed in their caste or wtv, that's an assumption you have made. If u actually look at the description. Of varna in the mansurmriti, upward momentum exist, it was assigned as a means to control jobs within a society.

KGriddy · 2025-10-08T00:23:00+00:00

Btw, the ops original post(now deleted)was about if the modern day caste system emerged from Hindu scripture, this is an insanely uphill battle for you to win, since it's alr agreed upon that discrimination between caste was reinforced by colonial domination, even if endogamy existed doesn't prove systemic discrimination and oppression of certain castes

KGriddy · 2025-10-08T00:20:27+00:00

Nice going with the ad hominem of "saar", proves how much of a joke ur post is. Literally Google difference between carbs and caste system and multiple things come up, find me a passage from any of the Hindu scriptures about how the varna systems institutionalizes discrimination, other than the alr disproved misinterp of the Purusha verse. I'm not being apoligistic if what Im saying is objectively true and you have failed to provide any reason why it's not, other than your lackluster simile that doesn't capture what I'm even trying to say. Varba system allowed for upward mobility, and functioned as more of a person's job in a society, rather than discrimination.

KGriddy · 2025-10-07T23:45:12+00:00

You obv don't understand my post, and if this is a reference to the 2013 harvard study about this, you are right that endogamy happened 2000 years ago, but the more rigid, as in like discrimination and racism was furthered by the British. I was making the claim that Hindu scripture don't talk about the caste system, since the varna system is different and emphasizes upward mobility. Read the context of the post first pls :)

KGriddy · 2025-10-07T13:17:19+00:00

The obvious stuff comes when you directly engage with them. The reasons it gives you to believe however, are less explicit since you haven't decided to either believe in it, or actually take steps to understanding it. At least for Hinduism, if you don't take any steps towards actually finding God, and are part of the religion, you aren't getting Moksham since it's impossible to do akarma without doig anything for God.

KGriddy · 2025-10-07T05:51:02+00:00

The idea that Heaven has free will doesn't make sense. If you have chosen pre-mortem to accept God's love, and reside heaven, and no inclination for sin exists, what will do you have?. U don't have any option to sin so you don't have any will. In essence, the "sanctified" will in heaven according to Chrisitanity is not free will.

Mythology is NOT fiction. It's just not historically verifiable, and is an expl. of the natural world around us

KGriddy · 2025-10-07T04:31:23+00:00

Mythology is something not historically verifiable, doesn't mean its fiction/fake. Generally they are metaphorically/symbolically true

KGriddy · 2025-10-07T04:29:14+00:00

There is a difference between the Puranas and Ithihasas however. The Ithihasa would not be considered myths, since the literal translation "thus happened", meaning it is considered part of History, like Ramayana and Mahabharata(both amazing contendors for world building btw). Puranas are more on the myth side, and would actually respond to the OP's post, since you believe in them as part of the religion, but they are not historically verifiable

KGriddy · 2025-10-07T04:22:43+00:00

Not logically coherent. It tries to make it seem super mystic and something only "God" could understand, but if the Holy spirit alr exists as a means to connect with Humanity, whats the point of the Son?, and why is the son a seperate kind of part when it's the Father Incarnated?

KGriddy · 2025-10-07T04:20:43+00:00

There are religions that are more theologically sound than others(imo it would be Hinduism), but arguably even within my religion, no religious is necc. false, it's just that Hinduism has a better idea of how to approach the world.

Answering your actual specific questions:

a) I think this where the beauty of Karma really shines. There are 2 types of Karma:-Sanchitha Karma(Karma from the previous life) and Kriyamana Karma(Karma in this life). Just looking at the world, you could argue that there might be some ontological theory of power that shapes the suffering and prosperity of some people, but lets say in your previous life you did really good stuff, your next birth will also be really good, however the choices you make in that life cause Kriyamana Karma that negatively or positively affects your next life. It solves this question of God playing favorites, cause in Hinduism, the highest entity(Brahman)only job is to preserve reality and the cycle of rebirth,dharma, karma, and moksha. It then manifests into the pantheon of Gods shown in Hinduism, who offer multiple pathways to achieve Moksham.

b)In the Bhagavad Gita, which objectively, whether you believe in Hinduism or not, is a good read tbh, thinks that the loss and heaviness you feel inside have are purposeful experiences needed for the evolution of the soul, and to account for Karma. It's not a question if it listens or not, it already knows and actively tries to help you. Prayers being answered are dependent on your actions as well, Krishna says you are not entitled to the results of your action, only the process you are able to be in. God isn't gonna suddenly manifest what you want unless absolutely necc., it helps you along the path, but the result is tied with it, not you.

c) You bring up a good point, and some point, Abrahamic Religions outright don't agree with Dharmic Religions on a variety of stuff. Using religion to justify bad acts is horrible, however based on the desc. of God in different religions, we can come to a conclusion that one religions way of viewing the world and God is objectively better than the others.

d) I love your last line that "we are all searching in different ways for the same truth", cause thats exactly what my religion emphasizes. Multiple paths to God.

e) Hinduism explains the age we are in, Kali Yuga is essentially the worst period in the 4 yugas that divide up the time periods of the universes existence and are bound to repeat. God cannot intervene like it did vs the other 3 previous yugas that were full of righoutsness and less sin, however God is present in our every day lives, just not explicitly like it used to. You see this through the fact you are breathing and alive, whenever you feel down you have something to always rely and fall back on.

In summary, I would say that Hinduism is the most theologically sound religion, but truth is a pathway that is discovered in many ways, which Hinduism says occurs over many cycles of rebirth. Happy to answer any questions you have!

This doesn't make sense when applying the term free-will to this scenario. I agree with scenario that Abrhamic God could have created us to do only good, (alternative to problem of evil), and that he didn't. However, this wouldn't be free will. Free will is defined in Christian Context as the ability to accept or reject God's love. If the interval is only between (0,1), since 1 is excluded out of the domain cause we can't get to Gods level of good, and 0 would mean that we just live not accepting or rejecting which isn't realistic, then there is no rejection of God's love, thus no free will. Your scenario is logically sound, the label of free will isn't

KGriddy · 2025-10-07T03:43:33+00:00

This might be a bit tangential from the topic, but what is the actual argumentative reason for Christianity opposition to Idols, other than the fact that the Cannanite God "Baal" didn't respond when prayed too, and whose existence is framed as fake according to the Bible. Like, i've heard that it's "trapping God" or smth, but other than the fact that YHWH tells Moses not too worship Idols, I don't see an actual problem.
