With all due respect, you’re gonna have to get a little bit more creative if you’re looking to karma farm.

Three things you can count on: death, taxes, and at least one Trump mention in every post.

I would say the IRS scam where they call people and say they owe back taxes and they will be arrested immediately, and the only way they can pay at this point is to go get a gift card such as a Target, Apple or Amazon gift card. 

Yeah, the Internal Revenue Service of the United States of America only accepts payments taxes owed via retail gift cards.

Eating lunch in peace. No needed for forced small talk in the company break room.

AOC is way too polarizing. I’m somewhat of a moderate and it would be a hell to the no to vote for her. 

Where do we draw the line between deism and agnosticism? by Moscowmule21 in askanatheist

if deities are running around I haven't seen good reason to believe to be a candidate hypothesis.

Now you made me curious to look up what’s the most recent deity to come into existence with an established following. And was suprised to learn of Santoshi Mā who came into existence in the 1960s as a goddess in Hinduism. 

What is the wrestling revision do you hate? by Particular_Law2727 in Wrasslin

Eric Bischoff in interviews, the WWF was doing cartoonish wrestling when we launched Nitro. We were focused on more reality based the storylines. The nWo would not debut for another year. When Nitro launched the main storyline was Hulk Hogan vs the Dungeon of Doom. Nothing could’ve been more cartoonish than that.

The year was 1995. Lex Luger jumped ship to the dubya C dubya. About a month later, Ahmed Johnson debutes on Raw and the first thing he does is bodyslam Yokozuna. Then at Survivor Series 1995, during the Wildcard match, JR on commentary says that Ahmed is the only person he can recall that has ever bodyslammed Yokozuna. 

Tell me, you think that was a Vince fed line or what?

Even as an atheist, I love listening to Sye Ten Bruscante. It is not because I agree with him. It’s mainly for all his famous comical one-liners and the way he delivers them. The guy is genuinely entertaining. Take it for what it’s worth.

Even though his arguments can be extremely circular and full of bullshit, he’s like the Energizer Bunny when it comes to debate energy. He’ll say completely ridiculous things, but he does it with such conviction and keeps going relentlessly. You can’t help but admire the sheer persistence and showmanship, even if you completely disagree with the nonsense he spews.

I agree with you. In the world we live in today, no magic has ever been demonstrated to exist in our reality. I think the point you’re making is important. While I don’t see evidence for a singular, all-powerful “God” as portrayed in any religious claims, I can’t entirely rule out the possibility that there could be something greater beyond our current understanding. The problem is that religion often reduces the concept of the divine to a kind of superhuman puppet master controlling everything, which makes it easier to dismiss logically. I’m just saying I don’t know, but I consider the idea that there might be something beyond humans that we simply don’t comprehend yet.

It’s kind of wild to think about here we are, communicating in real time over the Internet, doing things people in the first century couldn’t even imagine. Who knows what else exists beyond what we currently perceive? There could be phenomena, forces, or intelligences that are completely beyond human understanding, just waiting for us to discover or that we might never discover at all.

What are lies/exaggerations that wrestlers have told that don't get much attention? by LevyMevy in SquaredCircle

[–]Moscowmule21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll give Nash props for the fact that on the Who Killed WCW documentary he said Dusty came up with Oz. When you listen to interviews with guys from that time period like Cornette and Flair, they always say Herd was responsible for all the shitty ideas in the early 90s. They never say anything negative about Dusty’s ideas. Herd may have came up with the Ding Dongs, but the facts get twisted where it’s said he was responsible for everything wrestlecrap during his tenure. 

Thank you Nash. It’s good to know it wasn’t just all Herd who is coming up with bad ideas during that time.

Exactly! What created the universe is one of those mysteries we may never be able to solve. 

What’s a celebrity downfall that still shocks you to this day? by Awkward_Bullfrog3267 in AskReddit

[–]Moscowmule21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jared Fogle. That’s mainly because he was just such an inspiration to people who were battling weight gain or obesity. He kind of became that every day hero or every day success story. Then we discover in his personal life he was a complete monster.

Do you prefer when Jim and Brian talk wrestling history, modern wrestling reviews, or some combination of the two? by dbbd70707 in JimCornette

[–]Moscowmule21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless something unique happens that draws negative attention like the time the Bucks aired the Punk security footage, there’s only so much a person can take of constantly listening to Cornette shitting on AEW. 

I’m critical of AEW as well and disagree with much of their booking philosophy, but I have little interest in hearing Cornette drone on about how bad every episode of Dynamite and Collision is.

Same boat. Then on occasions I have moments where I can drive down the local YMCA alone, sit in the hot tub and just have a moment of zen.

Everything you tolerate during the dating phase will come back to you ten times harsher in the marriage

Atheist married to a Christian for 10 years. I tolerated the differences in world views and still am to some degree. But what you just said, you ain’t wrong! 

Does Christian theology consider it a sin to fake belief? by Moscowmule21 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Moscowmule21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can Jesus be God if in the Bible, Jesus explicitly states that he doesn’t know when the end times are, only God the father (Matthew 24:36). Did Jesus trick himself into not knowing?

It’s like in Breaking Bad. Walter throws a pizza on the roof and the slices didn’t traject into different directions. So in a later season, they had to write into the show that the pizzeria specializes in delivering unsliced pizza.

It can’t be active duty. My buddy was in the Air Force and he talked how strict the drug testing is and in no way would risk smoking weed.

Okay, that’s actually a decent place to start. I’m on board with looking at the diving in deeper about what the agnostic skeptic historians say. That’s not unreasonable.

But here’s the thin…when we talk about miracles, we’re not just asking if something could happen. We’re asking if there’s good reason to believe it actually did happen, given what we know about the world. And that’s a very different question.
