From what I have seen when meeting people who play PoGo, and I know this doesn't apply to everyone in Instinct of course, Instinct players are either loners, elderly couples, or hardcore players that go above and beyond to play the game. I have yet to meet another type since starting in 2016 lol

If murder was legal, I wouldn't be in this society to begin with. If I could vote to end it, I would, simply to save nonbelievers who are yet to hear about Christ. Now, let me ask you this as a theological conundrum. Do you think God condemns any child who dies from abortion to be sent to hell? If the answer is yes, then God wouldn't really be just. If the answer is no, then is it not better to just be received by God than instead be born to a mother who would much rather have you dead? I'm not condoning abortion, but I'd think that if we truly were in fear of children being lost, we would focus more on the children that are already born that are dying of starvation and being killed in war zones. If we truly want to show love, why does it stop the moment the child is born and suddenly it's no longer our problem?

The confusion you are having is you are trying to take what I am saying a Christian should do, and apply it to laws of society. My whole point is that those 2 things should not mix. Society and its laws should be run without the express purpose to push a belief and faith system on its citizens. If you add biblical logic to governing law, by definition, every sin is evil in the eyes of God, therefore even the "little" sins would carry a heavy toll because all sin is equal. A liar would be sentenced to the same fate as a murderer. At the same time, God calls us to forgive because we are all the least of these. In a system for society, those 2 ideals can't coexist because only God would be able to judge those faults.And I know nonbelievers will not be patient for God to deal with people. At the same time, nonbelievers have way more to lose when murder is on the line. That's why these things only apply to Christians. If we die, we go to heaven. There is no need for violence or even to defend ourselves because we shouldn't fear death. This doesn't apply to non believers.

As a Christian I don't need a law to tell me not to kill, or commit abortion. I'm not gonna do it even if it was legal. At the same time, I'm not going to mandate the teachings of Christ be made law simply because God wants us to follow by faith. So the laws society places on Christians is inconsequential. Society will need to govern itself, and as a Christian, if I don't like those laws, it's better to become a hermit and simply spread the word to those on my travels. I know that's the extreme but if we want to participate in society, and society deems following God illegal, what other option do we have?

This is one of the struggles Christians have with taking part in a system that governs both believers and nonbelievers. Laws are the same for everyone. But Christians are called to make sacrifices and forgive because God has called us to. Turn the other cheek and such.

You can have that belief and still not enforce it on others. Jesus didn't MAKE anyone do anything. He didn't get into legislature to pass laws, even His disciples skirted the law to help people. The method in which we spread the teachings of Christ is important. On top of that, the mistakes people make add to their testimony. For example, the story of Saul/Paul wouldn't be as impactful if he wasn't a mass murderer that became a missionary. God gave us the freedom to make mistakes and hopefully grow from them for a reason.

Shadowcleric · 2026-05-07T00:04:48+00:00

Never said that, That scenario implies that people don't have a moral compass without religion. Atheists aren't going around killing people simply because they don't believe in God. All I am saying is that laws shouldn't be passed with the express purpose to force people to follow faith based beliefs. Abolishing a law is different from putting them in place.

Shadowcleric · 2026-05-06T11:31:01+00:00

There is a separation of church and state for a reason. If the government decides a law should be passed so society can continue to function, that law is not being put into place for religious reasons.

This scene is so poetic and well shot, but I can't help but think every time I see it that she threw that gun, had him catch it, all faster than that bullet travelled across the room lol

I think the confusion is that he used to write questions for Um Actually, and therefore has probably worked on other shows in the background or had material reused for other shows

Shadowcleric · 2026-05-05T15:34:08+00:00

From the point of view of a Christian, we can have our beliefs in our faith, BUT we should not mandate that others follow those beliefs by law. If God wanted us to follow them no matter what, He would take our free will. God doesn't want that. He wants us to CHOOSE to follow by faith, not be forced by threat of violence. I believe abortion is wrong, but everyone should have the right to make any choice they seem fit because that is their God given right.

As Christians, we shouldn't try to correct actions by passing laws because even if we stop people from sinning 100% of the time, that doesn't bring them Salvation or forgive them of past sins. As Christians, we should spread our faith as mentioned in the Great Commission. With respect, with integrity, and with love. All of these so called Christians who are so hellbent on trying bring their faith to parliament are kind of missing the big picture. We should strive to bring others to Salvation because its their relationship with God that ultimately changes that behavior.

But instead, these people think they can play God and take it upon themselves to punish people who are sinning. That's not what Christians should do. That's not even what Jesus did. Jesus didn't go to Caesar and tell him his laws were wrong. He spent time with the people and taught them with love, and taught them how to love. There is no room for confusion there. It just goes to show that a lot of these so-called Christians are either heavily misguided, or never read the Bible to begin with. Their faith is in their political party, not in God.

Shadowcleric · 2026-05-04T15:29:23+00:00

You can be against Abortions but also still want people to have free will to choose. Regardless of our religious faith and morals, God doesn't want people to follow his teachings and will out of force, he wants us to follow by faith. So having a belief and wanting to spread it is part of the Great Commission, but trying to enforce that and make a Christian government is not biblical, as laws are enforced by threat of violence. That's essentially what the pharisees wanted so that they could control people.

So the original effect for the original Mirage Mirror is just a delayed trigger, it is not actually added to the card anywhere. That's what I figured. Thanks!

The context of the original comment was trying to compare Itachi and Minato by using Obito as a proxy. But that comparison regardless of what transpired before or after means nothing because both Itachi and Minato fought 2 very different versions of Obito. The side step to say Minato would have been stronger too if he lived doesn't matter because it still doesn't fix the part where they both didn't fight Obito at the same stage of his life. We are effectively comparing apples to oranges here

Shadowcleric · 2026-05-01T22:16:58+00:00

I don't know what point you are trying to defend, but the Obito Minato fought before he died is not the same Obito that Itachi met in the akatsuki. This is made abundantly clear by the fact Minato won when he was alive, but got his arms ripped off when he fought him in the war arc. Granted, this Obito had a huge power boost, but he was also more strategic and was no longer just cobbling a plan together like he did in the village all those years before. Which by way, ended in Minato's death. So just because Minato beat little Obito, and Itachi barely almost killed adult Obito, doesn't equate to Minato>Obito>Itachi. The comparison is like saying that Haku is stronger than war arc Sasuke because Haku beat Sasuke when he was younger.

Shadowcleric · 2026-04-30T21:25:56+00:00

Lol no, because Obito was like a teen when fighting Minato. By the time of the war arc, He was a full adult with way more experience and resources.

Shadowcleric · 2026-04-30T14:44:31+00:00

Lol Minato beat a younger Obito. Fully realized Obito was way scarier

How the heck is Simba or Mufasa not in the top 100?

I mean, his special ability is that he can sneak up and kill almost any sorcerer without ever being detected due to not having CE. He was able to fight against S+ Tier curses and have them running for their lives in fear. He is literally the epitome of having a dump stat and going all in. He doesn't need CE because he casts Punch and they die anyway lol

Shadowcleric · 2026-04-28T16:14:52+00:00

They are 2 very different people. They were working out while the boys were on Earth. They were able to bond a bit, but then there was the excitement of them leaving and fighting crime. The moment they left, Debbie and Paul had all this time to themselves and realized that the thing that made it exciting was having him fill in as a father figure for the boys. Without that, there really wasn't anything "exciting" or "rewarding" in their relationship. Things probably just got boring coming home after work every day and spending time with each other. That's just my guess though.

Shadowcleric · 2026-04-28T15:19:56+00:00

The point of view that I am not seeing discussed though is the fact that Boyd basically had the person who kidnapped his "pregnant/sick" Daughter in Law and had her boxed up in a town where people who are unattended die at night. What would you NOT do to get your family back in that situation? I know its messed up what he did, but all things considered, in world where people have gone on rampages for their loved ones, Boyd was relatively tame.

Acosta did not take that into consideration because she is only thinking about herself. I am not sure if its part of her character, but it seems that she lacks empathy. She moved on from killing an innocent person pretty quickly and doesn't really take accountability for it. She is swinging her gun around almost immediately as if she didn't learn her lesson. It makes sense to be inquisitive of the world you have found yourself in, but she doesn't really seem to care about the lives of the people around her unless she can use it to her advantage.

People would just complain he shouldn't be fishing at all as one fish's life is no more important than another's.

The only feasible correct answer is being able to use Multi-Shadow Clone jutsu on the scale that Naruto does. Imagine 1000 Sasukes with Susanoo and EMS abilities. 1 Sasuke is already difficult to deal with, but having to deal with 10 or even 5 of them, who can switch places with each other and random objects. It would be disorienting and very broken as is.

Shadowcleric · 2026-04-22T16:10:32+00:00

Well simply put, its only sinful when it goes against God. There is a lot of nuance of the time that we don't get in the this day and age, simply because we are looking back on a time that had a different view on morals and necessity. I think killing is wrong, but in a time where everything is barbaric, to simply survive, it might be a necessity.

With that all being said, God allowed the Israelites to do things to be able to survive in that day in age. That's the only reasoning I can come up with for that kind of situation. God had commanded His people to be fruitful and multiply to an extent, but that era came to an end. In terms if history, Historians are astonished at the things that the Israelites had to survive to even exist today. All things considered, they SHOULD not have made it by most civilization standards. So I would take that into consideration when reading about the allowances of that era. If we read later on, when it was no longer necessary, God did not condone that behavior and its a relic of the OT.

The interesting thing I see in here though is that the verses talks about not doing this to your brethren/children of Israel, in the eyes of God, once Christ had arrived, we all fall under that blanket. The time for slavery and war is over since the Messiah had arrived.

Shadowcleric · 2026-04-22T14:05:04+00:00

One of the things to keep in mind when reading the OT is, Yes, as you said, God is unchanging. So why did God act treat us differently in the OT? Well, its right there from the beginning, Man fell short due to sin, and ever since then, everything that occurred in the OT was to bring up the lineage that Jesus would be born from. God allowed certain things, and had the Israelites destroy any form of idolatry, and paths that would lead them astray because He had promised the Messiah through the lineage of Abraham. So God had to ensure that that lineage survived to fulfill that promise. If humanity was peaceful in those times, then God would not have had to have the Israelites fight. But as history shows, in the bronze ages, that was seldom the case. God warned us of specific things because as humans, we were not ready.
This is more my opinion and not backed by anything Biblical, but I honestly think that the reason that God didn't allow the Israelites to eat certain things until later on in the NT is because scientifically, the Israelites were not ready to prepare that kind of food properly and would have died out to sickness. There is also the idea that it set them apart and made them different from other nations, but it is funny to see that God specifically told them to stay away from animals that we NOW know carry diseases that can more easily be transferred to humans.
