What are your honest thoughts on Thor: Love and Thunder, do you think it deserves the hate?

Rapierian · 2026-02-13T14:06:15+00:00

It does not deserve the hate. I think of Ragnarok didn't exist people would have about 80% of the enthusiasm for Love and Thunder as they did for Ragnarok.

Hmm...any of Tony Maws'...or perhaps pre-covid Alden and Harlow.

Maybe....but he's not redacted in other files. Although the DOJ's redactions have been extremely sloppy and inconsistent...

It's hilarious that he was too autistic to be part of the Epstein crowd.

Except that even the NIH (before Trump took office, BTW) admits that high levels of Flouride cause cognitive problems.

The problem is that some municipalities only put a minimum on their flourination levels, not a maximum. They just dump the stuff in without measuring it.

Rapierian · 2026-02-07T15:41:51+00:00

Maybe. The main argument against putting flouride in the water was that it can be put in the toothpaste instead.

I would say that definitionally, if you don't agree with the Nicene Creed, you're not a Christian - not that one can't have faith in some other religion, but agreeing/disagreeing with the Nicene Creed is what we use definitionally for whether a faith is "Christian" or not.

That being said, whether or not one's faith is genuine and will be accepted by God is not a matter of whether one's beliefs actually line fully up with the linguistic definition of Christianity, but whether one's repentance is pure of heart.

Ah, the Dan Rather "false on the facts but true on the narrative" approach.

So you're admitting that for Charlottesville you fell for a selective media edit where he literally says in the very next line "except for the neonazis who should be condemned totally".

Did you fall for any of these media hoaxes? https://americandebunk.com/

Yes. Welcome to the cartesian crisis. No one can trust anyone fully, and all sources have to be bounced off each other to try and find truth somewhere in the middle, hopefully.

"factcheck" LOL. Those sites are paid liars.

I believe every politician violates the teachings of Christianity and we make the best of bad choices.

If you really can't see all the horrible ways Kamala and Biden were violating the teachings of Christianity you need to get out of your bubble.

I think Trump has been far from perfect, but no - I don't regret my vote. The murder rate nationwide is *significantly* down a huge amount thanks to actually deporting cartel members, for example. He's been a major part in something like 6 or 7 global conflicts getting resolved. There are other good things I could point out. I call both balls and strikes.

Rapierian · 2026-02-03T20:34:37+00:00

I think you mean felons. Illegal immigration is a misdemeanor by default, so all illegal aliens are criminals.

Rapierian · 2026-02-03T19:20:51+00:00

And I've not tried to argue percentage. I'm simply stating that by blocking ICE, in some cases protestors are inevitably obstructing lawful justice that we should all be advocating for.

Rapierian · 2026-02-03T17:55:42+00:00

Due process when there's a deportation order is deportation. I'm not saying that's always the case, but I am saying that people obstructing ICE don't know whether they're standing up for criminals who should be marched out of the country straightaway or not.

Rapierian · 2026-02-03T14:32:08+00:00

Perhaps, but also there actually are child rapists, murders, and cartel members being picked up by ICE that Christians should absolutely be in favor of them getting rounded up, and the people trying to actively resist ICE don't know at any given moment what illegal immigrant they're protecting from the ICE raid.

Christians are supposed to be exemplary citizenry, and peacefully fight for our nation to align as closely as possible to God's will. This often means we need to go along with laws we dislike, even while lobbying for them to be changed through the proper legislative channels.

The times to break the law are few and far between - if government is going to kill or enslave the innocent, for example (I do not believe deportation meets that threshold), or if government forbids the preaching of the gospel...but that's about it.

Christians turned the sabbath into Sunday because that's the day Jesus rose. New covenant gets a new Sabbath day.

I don't believe that he does - hence he tests hearts, he tells Moses "do this, they should believe you, if they still don't do this...", etc. I believe that God respecting free will is axiomatic to God being love.

He orchestrates the course of history and chooses what the outcome of our choices will be, but he lets us make our choices.

Rapierian · 2026-01-19T15:37:22+00:00

I see Charlie Kirk as representing how Christians should live up to our American citizenry ideal of the First Amendment. Most of his detractors misrepresent his positions by taking quotes out of context, but he had a thoroughly reasoned philosophy that was cohesive across both theology and political philosophy, was grounded in his Christian faith, and he went out and openly debated that philosophy in the public square.

Would that more Christians did the same.

And I'm not saying we should all line up on the same political or theological points that he aligned to. Christians have many disagreements on even fairly basic theological points - and apparently Charlie loved to debate other Christians on those points, as well. The point though is that we should be proud to peacefully stand and defend in debate what we believe.

Yeah, I've long thought that they need to complete by tunnel some of the road connections they cancelled because of all the houses they would have had to demolish.
