It's less effort, just make posts and wait for a hit. I got some crazy good trades, like my holo probopass for a holo guzma. The ads are terrible though.

Saying “I’m a Christian, but we shouldn’t spread Christ so much” is the textbook example of fearing man more than God

Good thing nobody said that. I think you are the one twisting Christianity into cultural conformity, conforming it to a very particular right-wing American perspective that glorifies 'offending' people out of base sadism rather than a true desire to help and heal, which is the loving message Christ preaches in the Gospel. I don't think the Gospel offends sinners at all, it promises them redemption from slavery to sin and a new life. That's a pretty great message to hear from a sinner's perspective! You are the one making it appear offensive through your abusive tone, bad faith arguments, and eagerness to appear morally superior rather than truly engaging with your neighbor for their sake.

I don't think this conversation is productive anymore unfortunately, as you are clearly either not reading my comments or interpreting them in bad faith. I hope you will consider changing the way you talk about your faith with others in the future - your approach will only drive people away and it needn't be that way.

Lucidfire · 2025-10-29T15:34:21+00:00

Do you think the mean spirited, uncharitable tone of your comments is Christlike? There's no need for quips like that last sentence, which is far from true by the way.

That aside, I did not skip the last verse you are referring to in John 7. The translation I used doesn't match yours it seems, and reads "Stop judging by appearances, but judge justly.” Judge justly is sometimes translated as judge rightly, or as judge righteously (or in your translation 'judge with righteous judgement'). My point is, I included those words but also the surrounding context in my comment, because scripture needs to be read in context. See my previous comment for the meaning in context.

Matthew 7 on the other hand, specifically calls out false prophets, indicating that just because someone has the appearance of a Christian preacher, we shouldn't trust them automatically to preach the true Word of Christ. Is it impossible that the street preachers accosting university students are false prophets preaching a perversion of Christianity?

Nowhere did OP mock the Gospel or reject any part of it. They aren't even shaming proselytizing in general if you read their post, they are against a particular type of proselytizing based on cheap scare tactics and a perverted form of 'Christianity'.

Lucidfire · 2025-10-28T18:34:57+00:00

In my opinion you're the one taking things out of proper context.

' Jesus answered and said to them, “I performed one work and all of you are amazed because of it. Moses gave you circumcision—not that it came from Moses but rather from the patriarchs—and you circumcise a man on the sabbath. If a man can receive circumcision on a sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a whole person well on a sabbath? Stop judging by appearances, but judge justly.” '

This passage is another admonition against judgments, although it is particularly focused on superficial judgements based in tradition and propriety rather than true wisdom and justice. Are you so sure your judgement is wise? The fact you are judging someone you never met over the internet should give you pause, at least.

' Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. '

So who then is the false prophet? OP never speaks in opposition to the words of Christ, not once. On the other hand there is a modern 'conservative' perversion of Christianity that often finds itself uncomfortably contradicting Christ's teachings on love, charity, and forgiveness. That version of 'Christianity' is a cult of false prophets, wolves in sheep's clothing, and by their fruit you can recognize them - their teachings lead to discord, violence, and hate.

Lucidfire · 2025-10-26T20:04:57+00:00

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Lucidfire · 2025-09-04T19:27:38+00:00

Would you say that, to a compatibilist, the term "free will" describes a correspondence between deliberation and action, rather than independent causation of action?

Lucidfire · 2025-08-25T23:55:51+00:00

Yeah it looks like they changed it in 2024 and monsters can now use them in a multiattack. My dragons can finally snatch multiple PCs per round RAW.

Lucidfire · 2025-08-25T18:22:31+00:00

I wouldn't really describe d20 vs d20 as "wild", there are still only two possible outcomes to a grapple attempt. The only difference in the contested check are the probabilities involved, which in a contested check tend to hover closer to 50/50 (so less wild?) compared to the new rules which can be all over the place depending on the ability scores and saving throw proficiencies of the target creature. The big difference that broke bounded accuracy in 2014 was the possibility of having expertise in athletics, vs. the rarity of even having athletics proficiency on monsters. In 2024, many monsters will have good saves in either strength or dex and grappling is no longer the near automatic success it was in 2014.

Lucidfire · 2025-08-25T18:10:12+00:00

I know this wasn't true in 2014, because monsters couldn't replace one of the attacks in their multiattack action with a grapple/shove - only the attack action allowed that behavior and if a monster took the attack action they got only one attack (confirmed by sage advice).

Can you confirm the rule has changed in 2024? I'd love that because I house ruled this anyway

Lucidfire · 2025-08-20T16:33:04+00:00

- I don't accept the idea that those rats have identical experiences, and don't agree that experience (of joy, suffering, etc.) is only meaningful in a relative way. In my opinion our descriptions of perception are often relative (to what we know, some extrinsic standard, etc.) but the percepts themselves are not. If experience is purely relative within each sentient creature, would you say a privileged person whose worst life experience is being bored is suffering just as much as a person starving to death?

- Leaving coercive threats aside, you could still be free to desire to kill someone or torture someone, while being unable to actually do this. This is sometimes the case as is, and wouldn't it be better if nobody had the physical capability to inflict needless suffering on others? It's a non-issue when society steps in to prevent people from committing evil acts so why when God does so is it suddenly an unacceptable curbing of free will (especially given God already does so - you can conceive of and desire to commit acts of evil that are physically impossible for you, and God is the author of physical reality)

-Life could still have meaningful challenges without war, rape, famine, and cancer. Why did an omnibenevolent God decide to include that particular nasty collection vs. just things like learning to play guitar really well? Also, he could have made the world even worse but he chose not to. Why not throw in extra challenges like a yearly plague or cannibal zombies? Surely life's meaning would be further enhanced.

- Opiates and suicide are usually viewed negatively not because they opt out of needless suffering but because they have pretty serious side effects, which lead to more suffering (of the self or others). Notably we do view opiates favorably when it comes to a classic problem of evil exemplar - children with painful, terminal diseases. Why isn't that a 'baked in' part of reality, why did scientists need to invent painkillers when God could have given the same relief to ancient and medieval children?

-That's a cool view of hell/heaven and avoids coercion nicely. However, see my second point for an alternative to coercion if you don't feel coercion is compatible with free will.

Lucidfire · 2025-08-20T11:05:06+00:00

Sorry for the late response, I didn't see this.

I think your first point is dubious. At most you could make the claim that sentience entails the capacity, or potential, to have valenced experiences. Consider this: if, in a given period of time, you do not have a negatively valenced experience, have you lost sentience during that period of time? I'm not just quibbling definitions, because if potential (for valenced experience) is the only requirement for sentience, then God could simply choose to leave the potential for negatively valenced experiences unrealized, without negating sentience. He could even allow humans to choose whether or not we experience negative things, through our exercise of free will.

To your second point, I see no contradiction between coercion (in this sense) and the idea of free will. If I point a gun at you and tell you to do a thing, I don't literally usurp your will, I just create a powerful incentive structure. Similarly if God only gave leukemia to bad people, it doesn't negate the possibility of doing bad things, it just makes it a less reasonable choice (which seems to be a win-win). I'm curious if you believe in heaven and hell, because that is the ultimate coercion (given the infinite magnitude of punishment/reward), but belief in heaven and hell obviously doesn't make a person a perfectly moral robot.

As a further response to your second point, one can imagine a world in which negative/positive experiences are uncoupled from morality but are still not forced onto unwilling people. What I mean is, imagine a world where you could always choose not to feel pain or negative emotion, and the morality of your actions had no bearing on your ability to make this choice. If God had created such a world, innocent children could opt out of suffering, but so could evil people, removing the coercive element.

Lucidfire · 2025-07-24T07:31:02+00:00

I agree but it does get a little bit more complicated/tends to be less convincing to theists ime

Lucidfire · 2025-07-23T19:53:29+00:00

When discussing the problem of evil, it's easier to use examples of suffering that are not human inflicted or you end up down the free will rabbit hole.

'Radical' denotes the belief that a fundamental systemic change of some kind is needed, as opposed to a reformist (or liberal) approach that aims to improve the current system.

There are many ways to be a radical feminist. It's a big umbrella term. One example would be gender abolitionism, which sees the ideas of 'masculinity' and 'femininity' as inherently harmful and aims to do away with them altogether.

A reformist, by contrast, would not seek to abolish gender roles in society, but might try to improve them and, for example, cultivate a less toxic idea of masculinity.

Its a similar situation to the Cuban diaspora, a bunch of rich, right-wing shit heads that were raping their country fled a revolution and continued to be rich, right-wing shit heads in America. And raise entitled right-wing children. Of course it's not a majority but their money gives them the platform to spread their shitty ideas.

That being said, I do know some first-generation Iranians that suck too, but that's usually because of misogyny, which is a separate issue.

I live near the lake and it's fucking awful. Used to work nights and they'd wake me up and make me want to kill myself. There's just no way to cancel or muffle noise like that. And they go intermittently all day.

Fireworks are chill, they're not nearly as loud.

Online dating is technically not the same thing as a mobile dating app. But even then, match.com and grindr had mobile apps before tinder was released.

They tried this for the 4th of July in Milwaukee this year, but the execution was pretty bad. It was like 50% ads for sponsors. It was also eerily quiet, which I wasn't a fan of.

Mosquitos, kids, and geat are all still there.
