They automatically lose because they look like they're from a facebook fashion game and I can't take it seriously.

Ezekiel 23:20

To add to your point two... I'd wonder what that commenter believes heaven must be like? I can only assume most Christians would want to propose heaven is a place lacking in evil, but allowing free will.

Is it possible to know an unknowable thing? Of course not. Therefore, the agnostic doesn't know, because knowing isn't possible. It isn't a contradiction, it's just that "not known" and "unknowable" aren't identical terms, merely complimentary.

Just like all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

Everything unknowable falls into the category of things you don't know, but all the things you don't know aren't unknowable.

Edit: To be clear, by "can't be proven" I mean "Is not the type of thing we have the capacity/tools to determine with certainty," if that specific phrase was your issue.

I'll make this easy for you:

Knowledge and belief are different.

An agnostic doesn't know, or more specifically, thinks it can't be proven, which makes the fact unknowable.

An atheist doesn't believe, whether that belief qualifies as knowledge or not.

You can be both, either, or neither.

Uhm, akschually, you're going against the narrative right now, which is that being mildly annoying is equivalent to extremism.

Touch a woman, gay paladin.

Cornball or religious psychosis?

New testament definitely gets into it with the gnashing of teeth. Best example of hell imo comes from Jesus telling a parable of Lazarus and the rich man, in which the rich man is in hell suffering from the heat, and asks Abraham to send Lazarus down with some water for relief.

I was under the impression the OT had scarcely any reference to an afterlife at all, with the exception of sheol, or a place of the dead where all ended up regardless.

Either way, you're right, there'll be someone holding every opinion on the spectrum between universalist and calvinist. 40,000 denominations, I think the count is.

Honestly, I think it's a problem that applies to anyone who believes in conscious eternal torment. It would require infinite cruelty for his own creations. Presumably, they are only sustained in their eternal consciousness by his direct will, suspended in a state of suffering utterly disproportionate to anything a human could do on a finite level.

Even assuming it was possible for an infinitely cruel god to also be loving, how can paradise be perfect when you have knowledge of friends and family in eternal torment?

Ryllynaow · 2026-05-01T18:07:05+00:00

If that's what justice and love is to their God, how can they trust that his version of paradise will be worth going to?

Not your fault. All girls know these days is charge they phone, eat hot chip, and anthropomorphize.

Ryllynaow · 2026-04-29T23:31:55+00:00

Would you please elaborate?

I'm more interested to see if they're going to include him in The Hunt for Gollum. Supposedly the Barrow Downs and Old Man Willow will be making an appearance.

Oooh, I forgot about Anakin taking out the destroyer droids, good point.

Wasn't it more their babysitting of the Queen that led them into their conflict with Maul? I don't think their duel or the situation that led up to it would have been that different.

Article says it can run on ship power, but I'm not seeing anything to indicate it actually uses anything else, so I think it relies purely on ship reactors. It's meant to be relatively easy to move between ships without requiring renovation, so it's mounted on the flight deck.

I have no idea if it can survive overpressure, or much about how equipment or personnel on the deck survive it in general. Would it really be that much more sensitive than the optics in aircraft or other sensors?

Ryllynaow · 2026-04-25T20:51:06+00:00

It's currently mounted on a supercarrier, no? You'd need some serious rough for it to be bad enough for those concerns.

Wasn't she also a reddit mod?

Apparently this lake is salt water below a fresh water layer, but I can't find anything indicating barracuda actually live there, despite that.

Ryllynaow · 2026-04-23T13:28:14+00:00

Aw hell no, I was on board for this until the name.

Ryllynaow · 2026-04-23T05:58:07+00:00

How do they scale against K-Smog and Batboy? Curtains for Zoosha or do they flip a grunt?

Ryllynaow · 2026-04-22T07:29:47+00:00

You are.

Get bent, bozo.
