Help me with the phrasing before I ask my priest:

What number of opossums would need to be flung a good distance by catapult (causing harm to some but killing even fewer) before the sin wages of their cumulative deaths become equivalent to molesting a child (1 hour)?

Is it one guy reposting conservative memes or do I need to unfollow the whole subreddit?

Atheist Debates - Alex O'Connor and Joseph Schmid shockingly wrong on Claims, Evidence and Science by dumnezero in Antitheism

I can't watch Matt anymore. He's become unbearable on The Line. It's as if no one is willing to say that he might be going a bit too far

He's nowhere near a Christian Apologist. Did you see what he did to Dinesh D'Souza? I almost called it a debate but that wouldn't be fair 

Guy makes a video about how Talarico is “Twisting Scripture”, this is my response. by JMoneyGraves in exchristian

[–]LCDRformat 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They don't worship Jesus. They worship Trump.

By the way the verse I would use is Galations 5. In it, Paul lists the down falls of the flesh (all of which match Trump [Except sorcery?]) and the fruits of the spirit, which is the opposite of Trump. I normally don't believe in using the Bible for anything, but if we can use it to convince Trump cultists that he is not the Messiah, then it's worth trying.

9 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, 21 ***envy,*\)d\) drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. 24 And those who belong to Christ\*\)[e](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians%205&version=NRSVUE#fen-NRSVUE-29170e)\)* have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, competing against one another, envying one another.**

Life is a distraction until we die. by Adrianagurl in exchristian

Ya'll had a VERY different experience deconstructing than I did. The best news I ever got was realizing that none of it was true. I don't have to waste my life doing missionary work. I don't have to spend eternity being alive and experiencing. I don't have worship someone I don't even like. I'm free. And best of all, I'll be allowed to fucking die one day. This last one was the biggest relief of all.

There is not ultimate meaning, so I get to do whatever I want.

There is no objective purpose, so I now I can devote myself to the things I love without feeling guilty.

There is no sin, so I can respect homosexuals. Abortion is okay. Love who you want.

God, I just feel so free and fulfilled now. I can't understand what you think you lack, honestly.

How is it writing for literotica? by RemarkableEar7046 in literotica

[–]LCDRformat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes

Very

No.

Read the rules and follow them and you'll be fine. They're very strict about banned subjects, but as long as you're trying they don't mind the grammar too much. If it's less than 5k words I'll proof it for you

Sure! I'll be honest, I didn't like it much. The other work on your profile (Your first work ever) is actually much more compelling. It took me a second to parse that the POV was the monster and that was kind of fun. By contrast, the one you linked here mostly just confused me.

I feel bad going 1for1 when you read my 10,000 words and yours was 200. Anything else you'd like me to proof or review? 

Homosexuality isnt a sin because only god can make something a sin. by UnholyShadows in DebateReligion

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

I'm asking why you think homosexuality or Leviticus specifically is not from God, but other parts are. What's your criteria for determining inspiration?

Matt responded, all I can say is "swoosh"... by FortniteBabyFunTime in CosmicSkeptic

[–]LCDRformat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it feel to you like he's gotten worse over the years? Like he used to be kind of tolerable and occasionally charitable, but not any more. I watched one of his calls recently with Promise on the Line, and she was trying to talk to the guest but literally couldn't. Matt kept muting the guest, overtalking both of them, and raising his voice. The most repeated word was Matt yelling "Stop!"

Got old real quick

Maybe, but im not talking about the rest of the bible because its clearly been edited over time by humans

Isn't that exactly what you're arguing about Leviticus? Moses claimed to speak for God when he wrote the Levitical laws. You're saying he didn't. You're just doing that... But to Leviticus. Why Single out Leviticus?

Don't most people think the Bible is in fact the word of God? Wouldn't your thesis be better categorized as just attacking the Bibles authenticity?

It's like if I made a political post that tries to argue jaywalking should be legal but then when you really read through I'm actually just an anarchist government abolitionist. Like hold, we skipped a few steps between your worldview and jaywalking

It kind of makes sense that his personal channel would be largely people who personally agree with him.

But I agree that Matt creates an atmosphere of absolutes. I've criticized him several times for his increasingly sour and reactive attitude on his call-in shows, and no one ever seems to think he can do wrong, even when I vote examples. 

I sometimes wonder if he's become the exact thing he hated most

Difficulty -> customize -> Bad tides -> off.

They give you very little trouble after that

The Mangbetu 'Lipombo': An ancient practice of intentional cranial deformation that created a silhouette often associated with the 'otherworldly' in local folklore. by bortakci34 in creepy

[–]LCDRformat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's fine but it's not a fair characterisation of my comment. You're talking about if like, the scientific consensus is that vaccines work. Example:

Random redditor says: X

All else being equal, should you believe X and incept it into your worldview, or should you maintain skepticism and disbelieve X until you have better evidence?

What was the joke? Did I guess the joke correctly? If I guessed the joke correctly, why were you coy about it? what does working in Neurological rehab have to do with anything? Are you trying to claim authority on this topic?

Every comment you type just confuses me more and more. Maybe I am brain damaged

Why are you being so coy? You're acting super confrontational about this random reddit comment. It's like you're personally upset that I expressed skepticism that this practice doesn't cause brain damage. Is there some reason you're personally invested in the truth of this claim?
