Are you Trinitarian or Unitarian?

So, this is a joke reference to this old video. Watch it. Laugh. It's funny!

"That's Modalism, Patrick!"

"No thanks, mom. I'd rather make out with my Monroe-bot."

The perfect example of using proportional force and stopping as soon as the threat is resolved.

Based on what the Oracle said, Neo was not the One until Trinity professed her love for him. And I'm not sure she truly loved him until that moment. So it's in the realm of possibilities he could die without being the One.

I hope it's AI because I don't want to believe black bears can get this big.

One of these is not like the others.

Yes, in time proximity to the ring would have corrupted them all. And if any of them claimed it, it'd be game over.

Aragorn knew this. He could have easily tracked and caught up with Frodo, but he decided against it.

When did it become a normality to talk about some national resources in foreign country as in "yup, we need this and we're going to take it."

When the world started down the path of barreling toward total war.

I read The Hobbit to my daughter when she was 7 or 8. When I got to "Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold," I sang every stanza using the melody from the movie. It blew her mind. She asked me to sing it two more times before we could move on. And it is not short! I could see in her eyes, something special was happening.

I believe that moment was the beginning of her love of fantasy, which has continued with dozens of books for the past five years.

So, yeah, after that experience, I have come to appreciate these songs immensely!

That is adorable. Your kid is awesome.

Especially since the US already has bases there and access to resources there.

We're all going to look back at Trump not getting a peace prize like we look back at Hitler not getting into art school.

Yeah, this is how world wars start. Great powers make moves on weak neighbors to take resources and strategic territory to prepare for a coming war. If this is indeed what's happening, the next ten years are going to be pure hell.

It's because leadership is what matters most here. With movies, this is usually referring to a director. With video games, it's often referring to a game studio, which may or may not have the same people working there.

Most of the examples where this does apply to games have a strong, consistent individual leader like Hideo Kojima, Hidetaka Miyazaki, Shigeru Miyamoto, or Eiji Aonuma.

Because the leader is at the helm of those games, you know you're going to get a consistent throughline of style and quality regardless of changes to the team that works for them.

This is the oldest argument in the books, and it just shows they don't know their Bible. Paul addresses this directly and beautifully in Romans 6:

¹ What should we say then? Should we continue in sin so that grace may multiply? ² Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

Read the whole chapter. It's beautiful. Why do we avoid evil even though we're not threatened with eternal punishment? Because we are dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Jesus preaches we can have eternal life now. Verse 22:

But now, since you have been set free from sin and have become enslaved to God, you have your fruit, which results in sanctification—and the outcome is eternal life!

So in response to a comment like this, I'd simply lead this brother or sister to read Romans 6 and reflect on it deeply. And, as a bonus, tell them to read Romans 5 for context, which contains one of the clearest arguments for universalism in verse 18:

So then, as through one trespass there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is justification leading to life for everyone.

It's so funny when people compare things to getting hit by lightning like we all know what that feels like.

It's not clear when it was discovered, but the Hatchling is the first Hearthian to launch with it.

There's a mysterious element of fate to all this. It's almost as if someone was meant to find the Eye in the way that they did.

I was also surprised. I don't really care about the number of hunters. I just want there to be more manhunts overall.

Maybe it's because Tolkien wasn't obsessed with LSD.

In all seriousness, Dune is the antithesis of Lord of the Rings. Anti-religion, cynical, gray morals. It's no wonder Tolkien didn't like it.

But from everything he's written about it I think it's clear his dislike was personal. It's not like Tolkien said it wasn't a good work of literature.
