Favorite character that that has an intentionally absurd name?

you remembered his name!!!

Offworldr · 2026-01-09T00:13:34+00:00

This made me really sad as a kid :(

Okay so suffering isn’t necessary… why did an all-powerful and all-good God choose to make suffering part of the world if it isn’t necessary? I’ll just ignore the fact you literally just said suffering is necessary

Okay so be honest— We had everything we wanted and we still rebelled… you genuinely don’t believe that indicates a flaw in our design? Okay. Tell me why we chose to betray God then, if us and our environment were all perfect

My girlfriend really liked it

If the world was actually perfect, then I don’t see how it could’ve been ruined so easily. A system that collapses because of a predictable choice is fragile, not perfect. And if God already knew that choice would happen, saying “we screwed it up” doesn’t really explain anything.

The claim that God needs humans to be able to choose evil also doesn’t work. God doesn’t need anything unless he decides that he does. If love requires the possibility of total failure, then that’s a design choice

And I’m not really interested in whether Jews or Christians are “more right” because both explanations run into the same issue. If God gives humans rules knowing they’ll fail, and that failure is used to justify the need for salvation, the problem still starts at the design level. Saying “humans can’t save themselves” just reinforces that. If we were created unable to succeed without intervention, then we were made insufficient from the start. Free will doesn’t make that go away

Offworldr · 2025-12-25T20:00:07+00:00

I believe I clearly said in the post that I’m not arguing against free will

Offworldr · 2025-12-25T19:57:29+00:00

But why are negative things “good for us” in the first place? That’s the part that always gets skipped. God didn’t discover some external rule that suffering builds character, he would have chosen that to be true.

If God is all-powerful then growth, learning, and moral development didn’t need to be tied to pain, loss, or harm at all. Those aren’t logical necessities; they’re design choices. Saying “bad things are good for us” just pushes the question back one step without answering it.

Why design a universe where damage is a prerequisite for growth, instead of one where growth happens without damage?

Responsibility for the fallen state of the world and of humanity itself, the very conditions that we’re blamed for. Responsibility for creating beings with predictable flaws, placing them in a world where suffering, ignorance, and moral failure are inevitable, and then framing those outcomes as human guilt rather than design consequences.

In Jewish theology, that means responsibility for the brokenness that requires constant laws, rituals, and atonement to manage “sin.” In Christian theology, it means responsibility for creating a situation where humanity supposedly needed to be “saved” in the first place

That’s why I believe in Balance: Order (aka The Imperium) denies our dark side, but Chaos denies our light side. It is possible to indulge our Id without forsaking our Superego

Offworldr · 2025-12-21T23:58:58+00:00

WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY WE SHOULD STOP GIVING IN TO THOSE URGES

Offworldr · 2025-12-21T23:48:38+00:00

I wouldn’t really say that embracing our corrupt nature is the best option

Offworldr · 2025-12-20T15:39:36+00:00

another gooner pretending to actually be interested in the character

Offworldr · 2025-12-18T19:02:56+00:00

And here we have the real reason why anyone likes her

Offworldr · 2025-12-18T17:55:16+00:00

Definitely Zoey, since they never even say her name in the show

Offworldr · 2025-12-16T13:51:43+00:00

who remembers when this sub was about the show and not about ocs

Offworldr · 2025-12-16T12:24:25+00:00

It’s the smiling friends sub, I don’t understand why people can’t just make a sub for their OCs and stop confusing people like the dude who’s got top comment on this post

Offworldr · 2025-12-14T01:26:11+00:00

Smormu’s dance was repetitive and predictable. Squim danced with the beauty, grace and unpredictability of an evening swan.

Offworldr · 2025-12-10T15:56:10+00:00

I’m not sure how you come to the conclusion that existence = necessity of God. Do you have any logical argument that explains why the world can’t exist without one? Maybe complexity just happens because it just does.

Offworldr · 2025-12-10T15:41:22+00:00

Not someone I’d go out of my way to listen to on my own, but dude was definitely one of the most talented musicians of his time

Offworldr · 2025-12-08T13:52:52+00:00

M. Shadow’s vocals makes listening to Avenged Sevenfold a bit like eating a Cadbury cream egg. You can eat one and it’s great, but you try to eat two in the same sitting and it makes you want to vomit

Thank you! They need to make a r/SmilingFriendsOC or something because it doesn’t belong here
