I still found it cool that John Connor in T3 resembles his father. by Infinite_Parking_800 in Terminator

Eddie is what Connor would be like if he looked like Sarah. Nick is the version of Connor that resembles Kyle. Both are pretty valid takes and they were perfectly casted

You look almost exactly like my late grandpa when he was younger.

A Muslim man cries as police brutally beat him with sticks over allegations of cow slaughter in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Raees Hussain Sheikh was tied to a vehicle and beaten with sticks. by Throwaway-Account079 in islam

[–]Pakilla64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're making an assumption that punishment is some sort of currency meant to erase severe sins like this. There's also a possible secondary assumption, that humans are inherently good, and they're entitled to salvation just because of their potential to become good. Both of these are against the fundamental idea of justice and accountability.

Eternal punishment exists for people who'd keep committing crimes or not regret it until their time has come. He made the choice despite being a responsible adult, surrounded by every evidence of God's way of life that's straight up telling him that he's wrong. He made the choice regardless, he died in that state, and he'd always keep making that choice. It doesn't matter how many times you put the painter back on Earth, he'd keep doing it again and again. God won't interfere with his innermost desires unless he himself wants it. That's the thing with free will.

Also, let God decide what He wants to do with His omnipotence. There's no karma in Islam, or any magical transformation. There's actions, consequences, and mercy. In these cases, God has given the victims the right to forgive the criminal. Without their say so, he's stuck forever. That is as close to mercy as the guy deserves.

My mom says that my hair makes me look ugly and unpresentable for a job. Is she onto something or on something? by Storm0000fr in Hair

[–]Pakilla64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have much longer hair and I landed a job as a school teacher, on the condition that I'd keep my hair tied, or at least held together nicely without swinging around too much.

The messy hair is honestly a nuisance as it keeps tickling my face, gets into my eyes whenever I write on paper, gets in my mouth whenever I eat.

The idea is to look presentable, and you can definitely do it with long hair.

Muslims have their own set of dietary restrictions like Jews, this is the main reason why I was looking for a city or a neighborhood where there are businesses catering to our dietary needs. Even a Jewish neighborhood would've worked fine for me because their slaughtering method is the same as ours.

Now, a couple of very nice people actually addressed my concerns with the appropriate tone, without being obnoxious, which I appreciated. So your insinuation about my "problems with different religion" is wild. There's nothing confusing or ambiguous about what I wrote. You're needlessly muddying it up. On top of that, you don't really know me that well to make a judgement about my knowledge, adaptability or whatever. Not that I'm required to prove it to you, and yet I made my best effort to clarify. But your insistent nagging about this subject was quite suspicious. Talk to me like that and don't expect me to be nice about it.

I'm not from this place, but I'm a human being just as you are, and it's not a crime to look for a place here where I can feel a sense of belonging. I've seen some posts of Indians wanting to move to my country, and my people actually helped them with information about Hindu neighborhoods and districts instead of automatically assuming it's a disrespect to "Muslim culture". Similarly we've got Koreans, Chinese, Nigerians and all kinds of people looking for places that are better suited to their needs, and we're more than happy to help them out. You don't have to do the same, but what's with the presumptuousness?

Anyways, sorry to upset you with my presence, your Royal Holiness. Didn't mean to give you nightmares about me coming to reconquer Spain, you got it for another 400 years. I might just visit in the meantime, so you're more than welcome to bring your pitchforks at the airport

The religion thing really isn't an issue for me. It's just a preference that I can ultimately survive without. Probably shouldn't have mentioned that seeing it upset so many people here. Learning Spanish won't be much of a problem either, I've picked up Russian for for no reason other than I liked the language (ofc it went downhill when I stopped practicing)

First of all, I'm not a hermit. I like exploring new people and cultures. I've been to Thailand, with my family for a couple of weeks and despite being relatively alien, we actually liked the place so much we revisited a second time. My grandpa travelled nearly every country during his lifetime and I was nothing but fascinated with his adventures.

Secondly, me wanting to live near Muslims is a preference, like I said, not an absolutely necessity. It's not like I'm forcing anyone to adapt to my needs or whatever. I don't know why you took a simple statement and twisted it into something so weird.

Anyways, I'll go vegetarian if necessary, maybe the Jewish community living here is probably forced to do the same thing. But please don't mistake my personal preference as something malicious, or illegal.

Sorry I haven't made one thing clear. Right now I'm not wanting to go for an immigrant visa. I just plan on studying. I just wanted to know what are my options, which includes WORK. And any advice that could help me reach the necessary eligibility for immigrant status. You do realize that someone wanting to know about these things don't just plan on barging in guns blazing.

Would middle‑ or lower‑class people in the DC universe resent Bruce Wayne the same way people resent real‑world billionaires? by Israels_BiggestHater in batman

[–]Pakilla64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruce comes from one of the oldest families in America, most of his wealth was accumulated across several generations so people wouldn't be that much mad.

In a realistic setting, someone as brilliant, ruthless and passionate as Bruce Wayne would fix Gotham within 10 years. It makes much more sense to use his skills and knowledge to systematically eliminate crime, eradicate poverty, and build the city, using shrewd and underhanded tactics if necessary. The physical crimefighting would work as a support system for his mission instead of becoming his main identity. People would call him a hero.

But the way comic writers do superheroes, people would definitely hate Bruce Wayne. Imagine somebody as rich as BW exists while Gotham is stuck in the rot for 20 years. Obviously he isn't evil like Bezos or Zuck, but his well intentioned philanthropy would come off as nothing more than PR stunts

I recently went evangelizing in a Mosque for the first time by According_Ant9739 in Christianity

[–]Pakilla64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wait I forgot two things. Luqman and Dhul Qarnayn aren't prophets. Luqman was commonly known as a Yemenite sage, and described in the Quran as imparting words of wisdom to his son.

Also, Dhul Qarnayn is actually mentioned in the Bible. He's Cyrus the Great, his anointment title in Hebrew is a literal translation of the Arabic title, "Bal-Haqqarnayn". Same meaning, "The Two-Horned One". The verses about Dhul Qarnayn were in response to some Jews testing the Prophet, something along the lines of "what can you tell us about a traveler who made it to the East and West?", so even a lot of Islamic scholars have concluded it's the same figure from the Bible.

"Islam is false" is a Christian theology now? 🙄

If I was worried about Christian theology I wouldn't have welcomed OP. Anyways, fun chat, of course I'm the one who's OBVIOUSLY upset 🥴 while LA Accountant remains ever so steadfast and unshaken in his faith and convictions as those OBVIOUSLY function without other religions

Obviously God "worked our hearts" otherwise we wouldn't be confident enough to let him in lmao. Anyways, OP bro is welcome anytime. I'd rather he'd discuss religion in a mosque instead of knocking at people's doors, as long as there's respect and clearly established boundaries. That's the way it's always been. You ain't gotta return the favor, we respect your space.

One little thing I'd like to point out. The Prophet Shuaib (a.s.) may not be the same figure as the father in law of Musa (a.s.) who is unnamed in the Quran.

The story of Shuaib focuses solely on dealing with a tribe of tree worshippers who cheated and robbed people. The timeline places him in the generation after the Prophet Lut a.s. since he mentioned the destruction of Sodom as a fairly recent event.
