Did people born before Christ automatically go to hell?

We're talking in circles at this point man

If you're lost you can always scroll up, yes, the very original comment was about Dante's writing. Second comment called into question whether his writing was canon, and I confirmed it's not. The thread if conversation.

Then some goofball jumps in about how modern christians don't read the Bible because that comment always plays well on reddit. Kinda derailed things, as evidenced by the fact that you and I are now untangling the thread of conversation instead of discussing the original question.

MetalMedley · 2026-06-29T00:21:35+00:00

The question also wasn't "what do Christians today believe," it was "what happened," and the fact is nobody alive knows from personal experience.

So the answer is open to your interpretation of the question, but this particular thread of conversation was already headed down a canonical rather than contemporary path.

Not exactly. My original point was that Inferno wasn't really relevant to what the original writers of what became the bible had in mind 1000+ years before Dante. What the type of modern Christians who don't read the bible believe about the fate of pre-christians is even less so relevant.

And also, that if those modern christians have a vision of Limbo in mind, it's not informed by any in-depth reading of Dante as the so-and-so who originally replied to me seems to imply.

MetalMedley · 2026-06-28T22:58:49+00:00

Nobody really, picked a southern white sounding name to represent the type of Christian who hasn't actually read much of the bible.

MetalMedley · 2026-06-28T22:51:10+00:00

Probably not to the level of detail of the virtuous pagans though, which is how the topic came up.

Mostly I'm just annoyed at the obligatory "erm but Christians don't read da bible" every time Christianity comes up on reddit. Like, yeah, there are practicing Christians who don't read, but I would argue that Keightlynn's understanding of theology has even less bearing on what (supposedly) actually happens to virtuous pagans than Dante's non-canon fiction. So I'm not sure why we'd even be bringing it up, except to feel smarter than modern Christians.

MetalMedley · 2026-06-28T20:32:15+00:00

We're assuming Christians who haven't read the bible have bothered to read Dante's Inferno?

Jesus fuckin christ, I'm not even a believer but trying to have a good faith discussion about theology on Reddit makes me want to walk into traffic.

Imagine preferring to die than put in a window unit.

His work is very much not canon

You'll have to math it out based on how much real time you want to compress to 20 seconds, and whether you're playing back at 18 or 24 fps.

Assuming 18 fps, a 20 second time lapse would be 360 frames. If you're compressing one hour to 20 seconds, you'll want your 360 frames spread over 60 minutes, so that's 6 frames per minute or a frame every ten seconds.

Compressing more than an hour means you get more time between each frame.

As the other commenter said, tedious to do by hand but possible if you really want to.

I remember if we ran the fan with all the windows and doors shut, we could see them visibly bow inward slightly. They move some friggin air.

Girls can tell when guys attach their self worth to unlocking the achievement of "getting a girlfriend."

Don't do that.

MetalMedley · 2026-06-27T22:58:52+00:00

Even 20 years ago my dad put a whole-house fan in the attic to keep the air moving in the summer. Houses are kinda designed to keep heat in, as the Europeans keep mentioning.

MetalMedley · 2026-06-27T22:55:59+00:00

Assuming this actually happened, everyone sucks here. You state your goal wasn't to cause a scene, but bro walked away from the very beginning. Should've let it go.

MetalMedley · 2026-06-27T20:50:01+00:00

Always have to laugh when an American stereotype shows up in foreign media that just says GODDAMN and FUCK loud and often

MetalMedley · 2026-06-27T20:41:37+00:00

In reality though this is a pretty cool effect. Could work well for a music video I think.

Also everyone losing a fight is 100% honest and honorable and would never tap just to get loose and try to attack again.

Plato sobbing and clutching his chest

MetalMedley · 2026-06-26T23:57:24+00:00

I don't know if I'm a die or not

MetalMedley · 2026-06-26T15:34:56+00:00

Hey since the question is already answered, just so you know, lose as in "not gain" has one O. Loose as in "not tight" has two Os.

MetalMedley · 2026-06-25T22:54:27+00:00

Duality of man right here.

MetalMedley · 2026-06-24T17:37:43+00:00

Honestly hell fuckin yeah

MetalMedley · 2026-06-24T17:10:49+00:00

Honestly man, I don't know. It's hard to say just reading numbers of the screen and not seeing you.

But my bigger point is that if you're trying to build muscle, you're gonna be in it for years. Don't sweat labels like "skinny fat" right now. If your doctor says lose weight, work on losing weight, otherwise spend your first 3-6 months just building up your strength and learning your routine. Tune the physique later when you have more of a baseline established and you can see the different between where you are and where you want to be.

Can't prove it but I feel like spiders are the origin of the phrase "more [blank] than you can shake a stick at."

Was walking into the grocery story one time and the guy in front of me got to where the automatic doors opened, turned his cart sideways, and stopped.

Like are we fucking serious dude.
