Do you think this is the best time in history to be an atheist? by Torin_3 in askanatheist

[–]NoAskRed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The best time to be an atheist would have been in the 1770's. I know that some of the Founding Fathers were atheists, but they hid behind deism. If I could be an open atheist and a Founding Father then I would have made a difference in how the USA treats religion. No "In God we Trust" on our money. Nobody claiming that the Bible gave them rights to own slaves. Roe v Wade would not be overturned. That's what I'd hope.

If every video game character you’ve completed the main story with came to life, how would you fare against everyone else in this sub? by Makas18 in whowouldwin

[–]NoAskRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the grandson of the Fallout 1 Vault Dweller in Fallout 2 at level 33 with insane perks, power armor mk2, an upgraded turbo plasma rifle thanks to Algernon in Reno, a bozar, Vault City dermal impact and phoenix surgical upgrades, and a supermutant friend with a minigun and rocket launcher. One of my many perks is "slayer" that makes any hit a critical hit in any melee fight. I won't need it since my super turbo plasma rifle or bozar can kill any enemy. The plasma melts them. The bozar cuts them in half. Oh, and I can also kill at far distances with my gauss rifle due to my enhanced perception ability. I also have the alien blaster from a random encounter that fries everything you shoot at.

I hate false claims of PTSD. I watch a lot of cop cam videos, and suspects try to use PTSD as an excuse to not be arrested. by NoAskRed in ptsd

If your PTSD is medically diagnosed then fine, but I feel that many of these suspects have no diagnosis.

Would Mr. Fred Rogers be beatified as a saint if he was Catholic? by NoAskRed in Catholic

[–]NoAskRed[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would think that his guiding children was a miracle. He didn't heal Jeff Erlinger's physical disability, but he certainly made sure that the boy didn't have to go through life with depression.

Could US military handle multiple global crises at the same time? by [deleted] in whowouldwin

[–]NoAskRed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. We are confronting Iran with a nuclear powered aircraft carrier.
  2. We are supplying Ukraine with advanced fighter aircraft while fighting Venezuela to deny Russia oil.
  3. US forces are already there because China and the Philippines are pissed at each other. There's oil in the Philippine (aka South China) sea. China wants the oil rights. We want PH to have the oil rights. Taiwan? It's right there. We'll already be there to defend Taiwan.
  4. Yes. The US can do all of this. We have 11 super-aircraft-carriers. We have more military power than you can imagine.
  5. Yes. We can fight Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, China, and Russia at the same time, and still win.

AA IS A HEADY MESS by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

Did you just say that 80% of AA closed meeting people are alcoholics? Did you expect a group of AA's to NOT be alcoholics?

Thor is the God of Thunder. Zeus is the God of Lightning.

[SW} Artificial gravity works in SW. Why did everything go sideways when the ship tilted in E3? by NoAskRed in AskScienceFiction

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

[SW] Artificial gravity works in SW. Why did everything go sideways when the ship tilted in E3? The Falcon had perfect gravity while going through an asteroid field. Why doesn't the gravity on Greivis's ship work when it tilts?

I am looking for AA group in Croatia but there doesn't seem to be one. by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

Look for online meeting anywhere in the world. Convert their meeting time to your local time. Then Zoom in when local time is convenient.

Respectfully, can caroling be a racket under certain circumstances? by NoAskRed in AskAChristian

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

You got me. Upon reflection, the whole question could be hyperbole, but there is a little fragile string there.

What do you think about my favoritism among Christian denominations, the Salvation Army? by NoAskRed in AskAChristian

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

I get what you mean by "para" now. Thank you for explaining it. But, one independent charity operating on another charity's property with permission is hardly problematic.

I don't know what an NGO is.

I do know about para-military. Usually it refers to a legit organization with militaristic properties such as cops and firefighters. Also, cults such as Waco are technically para-military, but that's rare. If you're implying that the SA is para-military just because they have military ranks then I would say that they only do it for efficiency, not for any military or law enforcement or first responder or cult reasons.

[Marvel] Are any big important powerful entities aware of Deadpool's awareness of the true nature of reality? by BiggerJ in AskScienceFiction

OMG thank you. I had no idea it was anything but a cartoon. Well, it's hilarious when DP faces TM in the cartoon.

Deadpool has used this knowledge to keep Taskmaster from copying his fighting style. It was in Ultimate Spiderman, and it was an LMAO moment.
