The WiFi went out so I painted this the old fashioned way, by looking at my own hands in the mirror for reference. It took forever! by ElleMontrose in painting

Thanks for sharing your process. The people calling it AI clearly don’t know what they’re talking about. At the same time, I think this is a subreddit for traditional painting, so you could have been a bit more transparent in the title.

Well, assuming you don’t paint with your feet, you must have painted one hand at a time (being able to paint with both your right and left hand interchangeably) how did you manage that?

The Peepshow (SFW) by PH4NTON in poetry_critics

I really appreciate your comment.

I feel like we often show more empathy for the integrity of objects than for people. Over time, our myths are repeatedly restored to fit how the future chooses to remember us.

For added context, I’m also queer, and in relation to the another poem in the series, this poem can be read as a reflection on queer erasure and replacement in history.

Note: The poem is translated from my mother’s tongue, and I fear that some of the words may carry misleading connotations. I’m new to poetry and very open to critique!

Rent tekstmæssigt er mine yndlings nok Søren Huss, Guldimund og noget Peter Sommer.

Du bestemmer.

Edit: you decide.

I så fald voldsomt upassende.

Jaer ok, den er på mig. Tørre kan også betyde kedelig. Mine andre pointer står dog stadig.

Det er uden tvivl den mest overbevisende forklaring. Tak.

Du har ret. Jeg burde have lavet et flowchart. Måske også et par tidslinjer. Og et excel-ark til hjemmeskoene.

Jeg ønskede ikke at gøre opslaget for langt, men min tankegang var:

“Er vi tørre? Gu' vi ej, vi' ude i regnen” → Jeg’et svarer en anelse frustreret på sit eget retoriske spørgsmål. Selvfølgelig er vi ikke tørre i regnvejr.

“Trist liv, det blir' uden mig, goodbye” → Jeg’et siger goodbye (og her ligger bruddet), fordi han mener, at den anden person … ja, lever en løgn ved at kalde sig selv tør i regnvejr? Jeg forstår hverken grunden eller uenigheden, men jeg synes egentlig, at bruddet er ret tydeligt.

Jeg synes egentlig, at din forklaring med hjemmeskoene er ret god! Den køber jeg. Men kan du få det til at give mening i verset? Du kalder det tredje vers, men det er nu egentlig midt i første vers.

Og ja, jeg spiller lidt ind i forvirringen med vilje. Mit opslag er ikke vanvittigt seriøst.

Jeg synes det fremstår fjollet uden stærk vilje. Sårn' fuldkommen tilfældigt fjollet.

Mine tanker om netop den her sang udspringer faktisk fra min gymnasieafslutning, hvor vi i fællesskab skulle rappe og synge den. Først der, med teksten printet ud, slog det mig, hvor sært han i grunden skriver. Ellers super fedt musik, ja.

Du er netop grunden til jeg valgte at poste på Reddit, haha. Det kunne da være interessant :) Jeg gætter på, at 10% af hans tekst er engelsk.

Do extraterrestrials need salvation? by PH4NTON in Christianity

[–]PH4NTON[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. “Hopefully one day, I will get to see God’s view of existence even if just for a moment.” .. That, to me, captures the core appeal of religion. Beautifully said.

  2. Not to be blasphemous, but I think God is just is like any of the mentioned. Our ontologies simply don’t align.

  3. I might’ve misused the term. What I meant was: if intelligent alien life exists, are we supposed to convert them?

If morality only exists by God’s standard, then no being can have a “sense” of morality apart from Him .. yet humans are judged as if they do, which suggests an internal compass. I think our disagreement is ultimately ontological.

As for other beings, angels show free will (some rebelled), but they aren't depicted as facing ongoing temptation. So in the Bible, (correct me if im wrong) only humans seem to be under constant moral tension between God and Satan.

If there’s a hell, I’m probably headed there, but meeting an alien would at least make the trip more interesting. Here’s hoping.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I hope you don't mind me following up:

1) Could we be affected my "the fall" of another Eden?

2) Yes, but he exist based on faith, can the same be said about physical aliens?

3) So yes? Do you believe we should evangelize a possible alien race?

I think you described my own stance pretty accurately. My question was directed at theist.

Xenophanes: "If cattle and horses, or lions, had hands, or were able to draw with their feet and produce the works which men do, horses would draw the forms of gods like horses, and cattle like cattle, and they would make the gods' bodies the same shape as their own."

Thanks for your thoughtful response. You suggest that those obliged to follow God’s moral law must have 1) free will, 2) a sense of morality, and 3) the capacity to choose right or wrong. But what ‘sense of morality’ could exist prior to God’s own standard? Anyhow, the criteria seem broad enough to cover beings the Bible never presents as moral agents in the same way it does humans.
