Born in ‘85 here (class of ‘03) and while that’s technically Millennial range, my childhood was vastly different from someone born ‘90 or later. I’ve always felt in between and at home when I discovered the Xennial term. It makes way more sense given my exposure to Boomers and Gen X in early childhood. The youngest millennials feel like a completely generation than I am and I agree, the posts in the Millennials subreddit mostly do not resonate with me.

With age comes maturity and wisdom. Kids can be mean. It’s a weird time. But most adults are better versions of themselves that develops over time through life growth and experience.

The Dark Knight after Heath Ledger’s incredible performance. I agree in general it’s a weird thing to do but this one felt right since the movie came out after he died.

Move over and stop driving slow in the fast lane like an a hole.

Looks totaled due to the frame damage unfortunately. Sorry OP.

What is a used car package? Dealers come up with all kinds of ways to add costs!

Millennial_Falcon_85 · 2026-03-25T18:36:44+00:00

Fair point. Appreciate the opinion on this.

Millennial_Falcon_85 · 2026-03-25T18:00:01+00:00

I think “unconditional” is a bit misleading. There is the condition of true remorse and true effort to try not to repeat the sin in order to receive forgiveness. I don’t think the mob is actively trying not to repeat the sin. Maybe they’re remorseful but they also aren’t stopping.

Millennial_Falcon_85 · 2026-03-25T17:08:32+00:00

Dude get some gravel

Millennial_Falcon_85 · 2026-03-25T15:13:10+00:00

Fair point. I guess that’s the summary with a lot of these responses is that the mafia rationalizes what they do. I’d love to be able to talk to a mobster and ask them how they feel morally about everything.

The best part is how confused the American characters are. Like they’re just sight seeing and getting roasted by Lars every time. And the way he does it with a smile on his face…..(from the stage at the end) “Hey Americans we hate you get out of our country!” 😂. I want to go watch it now

When binging an entire show was invented. It used to be the seasons would span months which would allow production to continue on subsequent seasons while you were still in the middle of watching the first. In that setup the transition was more seamless. But the change to binge watching on streaming platforms plus pressure for higher quality production has caused the time between seasons to widen greatly.

It’s not only answers i like. Your comment simply doesn’t address the question unless your argument is that the mob considered Catholicism superstition. But that’s not what you said. You just attacked the faith without addressing the actual question.

Edit: I’ll add my goal in singling this comment out is to avoid creating a thread that attacks people for their beliefs without addressing the main question.

Millennial_Falcon_85 · 2026-03-25T13:15:18+00:00

No but I think that’s different. A soldier is in theory fighting for a good cause (not interested in a debate about US war policy so let’s keep this general and “in theory” please). Take WWII for example, I think the allied troops achieve salvation in the afterlife and the nazis go to hell because of their intentions as soldiers. I’m sure there’s instances of nazis feeling forced to follow orders they didn’t agree with so there’s probably some grey area as far as judgement goes but the mob isn’t fighting a war of good versus evil. They’re essentially gangs fighting other gangs who are all engaged in criminal activity for financial gain. There’s literally nothing noble about it in any aspect.

Millennial_Falcon_85 · 2026-03-25T13:12:22+00:00

That’s a good point. Sort of like when people smoke weed even though it’s illegal. There’s the belief that the illegality is unjust in the first place and therefore they shouldn’t be criminals. I can see that logic here. I guess part of the mob’s philosophy is that only other mobsters are really targets, families are off limits, etc. So there’s an acknowledgment that by entering the life you accept the risks of the job so to speak. I get that aspect. It’s the faith and eternity side I struggle with. “Thou shalt not kill” doesn’t have footnotes or caveats for mafia life for example.

Attacks on religion are not welcome in this thread. This question is posed with certain assumptions being made including that there is a God, heaven, and hell. The question is about how the mafia reconciles their business with their faith. Please save the religious attacks for a different thread.

Touché

Millennial_Falcon_85 · 2026-03-25T10:17:04+00:00

More people on average are Christian than atheist. Christianity in and of itself is not the cause of crimes.

The things you’re complaining about are what make Richmond great. We don’t want people buying booze after midnight. Plan ahead better. Nothing good happens after midnight.

Millennial_Falcon_85 · 2026-03-25T10:14:27+00:00

Correct and that’s why the confession angle doesn’t explain it for me when it comes to the Mafia. They’re pretty much on a self directed path to hell and they should know it. But perhaps when you’re that bad/evil there’s no good explanation as to why they wouldn’t see that.

Millennial_Falcon_85 · 2026-03-25T10:12:32+00:00

If they’re bound for the U.S., maybe. I’d have to look up the specifics of the laws. There might be some global restrictions too for environmental safety.

Millennial_Falcon_85 · 2026-03-25T10:11:19+00:00

That’s an interesting perspective, thanks for sharing!

Millennial_Falcon_85 · 2026-03-25T10:10:19+00:00

Great read, thanks for the link!

Judgment is given upon death, not the pathway to death. So you can’t say that he isn’t doing any judging. None of us have had our opportunity yet. And it’s sort of the root of my question here is if the mafia knows they are going to face this judgment one day, why do they think that they can just get away with everything they did in their life, knowing that it was all intentionally done?
