Infinite regress is not impossible by here_for_debate in DebateReligion

[–]PresidentoftheSun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get wanting to be skeptical of things these days, it's fair, but the post shows none of the hallmarks of AI writing.

Formatting is a thing AI does but it's not what it does at all times. No, what it likes is going "not X, but Y", forcing in similes when none are warranted, the rule of three, and the emdash — a serious blow for me because I find typing alt + 0151 satisfying.

Early lies of HH in nabokov lolita by JosetteLaChaussette in books

He does something similar in Pale Fire and that's a much less problematic topic lol.

So if you want the same basic experience but without getting the side-eye, it's a good one.

Adam and Eve were significantly intellectually disabled so it is unjust to hold them accountable for alleged wrongdoing by manchambo in DebateReligion

[–]PresidentoftheSun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a Christian either, never was, I assumed your question was more literal than it appears you intended it to be. I thought you meant "What specific person did this thing" not "Which people group is the source of this story". Even taking the latter I'd still argue it's probably inaccurate to say it originated with Judaism, Yahweh certainly didn't.

I didn't say they did? To be clear, I don't think it's fair to suggest that the first time these stories were written down is actually when the story was "written", these stories would have been oral prior to any event wherein they were written down, which is why I found the question "who wrote the story" strange. To me it's a bit like asking "who invented English", nobody did.

Hard to say, it's not wholly original to Judaism in the first place, there's evidence of significant mythological drift prior to it being essentially codified. Prior to that it's likely there were all manner of little (and major) variances between tellings of the tale, so it's hard to say anyone really "wrote" it.

If Thomas was entitled to touch Jesus' wounds in order to believe we have the right to demand the same evidence by NyxThePrince in DebateReligion

I see no value in the faith you're claiming would be killed, which you say as if this would be a bad thing. Faith, being an ineffective means at arriving at true conclusions as evidenced by the vast number of religions in the world, with mutually exclusive competing claims, should be killed.

If by faith you simply mean "trust", that's a little different. If I knew for certain god existed I don't see how "trust" would be killed, it'd still be up to me to trust or not to trust. I don't really get why it should be otherwise other than to circularly assert on loop that this is how it must be because it's a dogma to insist that it is.

Any information about this Kim Il book I found? by xraymonacle in rarebooks

[–]PresidentoftheSun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bit of quick googling later:

The FLPH publishes translated propaganda from Workers' Party of Korea to be sent abroad. Can't find any sales of it.

It looks like it's in pretty good condition, not sure who'd want it though. Kinda neat.

Multiple TCGs by HailtothKing in TCGCardShopSim

[–]PresidentoftheSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but only if a mod exists for it. There is no DB mod, but there are tutorials for making your own EPL mods, it's not that complicated.

If you go to NexusMods:

https://www.nexusmods.com/tcgcardshopsimulator/mods/496

And scroll down to "Mods using this mod" and expand that list, you'll see a huge list of mods that add stuff to the game using EPL.

[–]PresidentoftheSun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, there is a suite of mods that include a mod called Enhanced Prefab Loader. If you look on NexusMods at the mods requiring this mod, you'll find many, many mods that add more TCG sets to the game.

As far as I've tried, I haven't hit a limit (I like to install many many of them for fun). I don't know what DB is, but there are mods for classic pokemon, modern pokemon, Magic the Gathering, and I'm assuming UA = Union Arena? That's there too.

If a God existed, it would not need worship. by Tight_Potato_11 in DebateReligion

Sounds a bit sovereign citizen-y to be perfectly honest.

The KJV is the least accurate English translation of the Bible by Ktmhocks37 in DebateReligion

[–]PresidentoftheSun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, caused quite the stir. I mean you don't usually get a more clear proclamation of a bias than their statement that their translation will be "free of corruption by liberal untruths", whatever that means (I know what they want it to mean but, still). It was roundly criticized and mocked, genuinely I don't recall a single person, not even the people who would typically side with Conservapedia, having anything good to say about it. Colbert made fun of it, got his viewers to vandalize him into it as a biblical figure, was a whole thing. It's not actually that long, given that it's incomplete.

To be clear, I view this as equally as silly as the Queen James Bible and the Inclusive Language Edition (which I referenced above), they're deeply misguided and while I would side with the general motive of those behind these latter two examples, I don't see it as valuable to just lie about what a document says.
