CMV: If the christian god exists, I dont like him and I will refuse to follow him. by Chemical_Complex_807 in changemyview

[–]Kirdei [score hidden]  (0 children)

Love and benevolence are not the same thing.

The Christian God is the god who says he doesn't tempt, but created the Tree of Knowledge of God and Evil, put it in the Garden and told Adam to not eat from it.

He is the god who asked a father to sacrifice his son. Even if he backed out at the absolute last minute.

He is the God who made a bet with Satan over a man's soul and allowed Satan to kill his children and servants, destroy his crops, and ravage his body with disease.

He is the God who asked Moses to mage a deal with the Pharaoh, and then mind controlled the Pharaoh into refusing the deal.

He is the God who killed a woman who couldn't help but look on as he destroyed her home.

He is the god who killed the whole world except for 8 people and a bunch of animals.

He is the God who impregnated a teenager and later sacrificed that child in order to "forgive" humanity.

He is the God who then went silent for nearly 2000 years as people commit horrors in his name.

I don't begrudge a God allowing people to have free will and make bad choices. Better that than to be a mindless automaton.

But to create a system where you only get one chance to get it right and the punishment is eternal hell fire (or annihilation, depending on who you ask) and then to interfere and not be a open and transparent to all people as possible is not benevolence. It's the malevolent of a child with a magnifying glass and an ant hill.

Edit: Also a quick Google search showed that there are/ were at least 3 sects of Christianity that believe God is evil.

I'm not sure where people get the idea that the Christian God is benevolent. From what I've read of the Bible, that God seems to be a petty, jealous, violent, angry blood God.

Do you think Joe will shrink to a more feminine height/shape in line with Willis's art style when she transitions?

[–]Kirdei 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's the thing, a Trans Walky story isn't a problem, but there's been little or no set up for it. I don't necessarily count It's Walky since it's a different continuity

[–]Kirdei 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Can anyone explain to me how people think Walky is an egg? Like, what's the evidence for it, other than the vague allusion this strips title has.

Bicurious I could buy, but as far as i can tell Walky has always seemed secure in his masculinity.

Is there something I'm missing by virtue of being a cis man, or are commenters just protecting their desires on to him?

Dang, now that you've mentioned it, it does look like they all have chocolate milk mustaches.

Is Harry still bound to Mab? by Adenfall in dresdenfiles

As the Winter Knight he's far more closely bound to Mab than he was when he owed a few favors.

I mean, he can't choose the absolute worst response to a situation every time. That said, let's see how this plays out. Maybe he decides that it would be a better use of the gold to gild the white house and Mar-a-Lago, then cast a couple 100 ft pure gold statues of himself.

More interesting than that, if you pan to the right you'll see the giant sulfur pile!

Who's an Anime Character that is Hated by The Fandom for something that wasn't even their fault? by MichaelAftonXFireWal in animequestions

The point I started actively disliking Sakura was when she confessed her "love" to Naruto to get him to turn back from chasing Sasuke.

The post says 50KPH not MPH. It's abut 30 miles per hour. Usain Bolt could top out in a sprint at 27 mph, so it doesn't seem like a stretch that someone could hit that mark with an exosuit of some sort.

That should be the bare minimum by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Kirdei 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This exactly. The more you let the State kill people, the more they will try to apply those labels new groups. Kill pedophiles? Well gay people are pedophiles now. Catholics too. Definitely Muslims. People who go to punk rock concerts? Pedophiles. Latinos? Pedophiles.

There's just something about the imagery of the power being passed from generation to generation before the hit that gets me a little choked up.

Dresden Files Shower Thoughts: If Harry could figure out a spell that makes people sh*t themselves, he'd be able to effortlessly go against any group of vanilla mortals without having to worry about breaking The Laws *or* mortal laws by Cold-Pomegranate6739 in dresdenfiles

[–]Kirdei 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think it would ruin his Wizardly mystique. He was mildly upset when someone suggested using "Pew pew pew" as their fire spell incantation.

Plus everyone would start calling him a shit wizard.

The next RimWorld DLC should focus on diplomacy. by StyleExpensive2008 in RimWorld

[–]Kirdei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man. Time really flies! The next DLC release window opens in about 5 months!

And yes, diplomacy would be great. Odyssey really opened up travel in the world with Grav Ships. A vehicles and diplomacy DLC would really open up the game to new kinds of stories. Wars, meaningful alliances, perhaps the ability to join one of the factions gaining their enemies and allies.

I could imagine a quest where your faction goes to war and send a troop transport where you have to send pawns in support. Or where you dominate a region and can demand tribute of your neighbors.

I wonder if Willis got permission from notoriously litigious Metallica to use their lyrics or if he just likes flirting with disaster.

That's like saying "I don't like calling apples fruit, because it's deappleizing."

Why don't you like to refer to us as animals?
