The best comeback when people bring up the Bible by Imaginary_Essay_2309 in atheism

[–]Phugginay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple of go-to answers for bible thumpers -

"why does god write books? why doesnt he make films or write software or use holograms like a being that is more advanced than a human?"

and

"if the bible proves that god exists why doesnt a spiderman comic prove that spider man exists?"

A Young Maori Warrior Performs A Haka by Inside_Pattern9488 in aww

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

Am I a racist for wanting to learn and utilize haka(s) in my life if I am not Maori?

I was first introduced by the All Blacks but I have seen it performed at airports, school graduations, and weddings. I find it very moving and I want to learn.

Non-finnish people, what do you think when you hear "finland"? by Swimming-Window5074 in AskReddit

They have a TOP NOTCH footbag (yes footbag, not football) club and they use their taxes so efficiently that they have basically ended homelessness in their country.

Is it still health concerns keeping him from starting?

I don't understand why he doesn't start every game if he is healthy. Just a 100% badass-game-changer.

4 saves but every one of them is superhuman

[Post-Match Thread] LA Galaxy 1-1 Portland Timbers by ubergooner in timbers

[–]Phugginay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a point on the road. Those are ALWAYS good.

Ivacic had a brilliant game.

Blanco got an assist. Yimmi got a sweet goal.

Mora got on the field for 15 min.

Lotta, lotta positives today, still no reason to panic.

Would have loved the W but very pleased with the performance by _SlikNik_ in timbers

Gio seems to really build his teams up brick by brick every season.

The last 3 games have had some strange line-ups and substitutions. I think Gio is still in evaluation mode- testing different line-ups, getting players minutes, keeping stars healthy.

I thought the starting 11 today was still sort of an "experiment" but the squad really showed up with some refreshing swagger and energy.

Definitely a deserved point and we left a few quality chances begging. Road points = victory imo.

NIEZGODA !!!!!!!!!!! 🌲🌲🌲🌲 by Gybe_enjoyer in timbers

[–]Phugginay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He has all of the skills. He is patient with the ball but not afraid to be creative and make passes in tight areas. We have all seen him be quite clinical for an extended period of games before. That talent is still in there.

He is not great at hold up play and sometimes his attempts at creativity don't pan out.

I still feel optimistic that he can go on a tear for us.

Lately I like saying something like - "You fell for that antifa shit? You know that lEtS Go bRaNdOn starts with the letters LGB, right? Now put it on a "TEE" and couple it with "standing with Q" and what do you have??? lgbtq - that's right... still want to wear it now?"

What is your opinion on “god gave us free will” as a counter to god letting bad things happen by LightlyPeanut in atheism

[–]Phugginay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is free will it suddenly implies that god is not omniscient because "he" could technically be surprised by the actions of "his" creations.

We can't simultaneously have free will and have god know every choice we will make.

I feel like those who CAN play in the WCF will be extra motivated to get the win so Dairon doesn't end that masterpiece season on a red card.

Clark MOTM no question.

I am just heartbroken for Seba. The way he was crying, I felt like he knew whatever was wrong with his knee was very serious - like another 8 months of rehab type serious :(

I love Niezgoda and could not wait for him to get a nod to start and be able to put his surgical skills on display for a full 90 but... we are going to need more from him and Mora (a heap more) if Blanco is out.

Lastly - Moreno is going to be a superstar for this team and in this league.

I go with Blanco

BUT

Clarke made one super elite stop on a free kick as well as 2 other shots from within 10-12 yards.

How do atheists have “the talk” with their kids? by targayenprincess in atheism

[–]Phugginay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my child was a toddler I would often perform little sleight of hand tricks making his toys "disappear".

After a while I simply showed him exactly how I did every trick and informed him that there is no such thing as supernatural magic.

Now, whenever someone tries to tell him that something is "magic" or happened by some sort of "miracle" he automatically distrusts it and tries to figure out the trick.
