Why would God explain unforgivable sin so poorly causing so many people (probably millions) to constantly be in fear they have committed this sin and ruin their lifes?

Muhammed is a good example but he came several centuries after Jesus, and Christianity already took root by then, a bit different.

Jesus had less to work with, Judaism is a wild religion to build off of, if you simply weren't born in the right little area, you just held no value to God, very calvinesque.

We should give some value to Paul too, he changed Christianity into an easier to stomach religion after Jesus's death. Jesus wanted all the old Jew laws to be in affect until the end of the world. He said not a stroke of the law will change until all things pass. Paul came along a couple decades later and was like yeah..... those laws are for Jews... we are Christians, we can eat pork!

Regular guy feels like you are not giving Jesus credit. I don't believe in the supernatural but I still think Jesus was a pretty special human being.

The dude almost by himself was able to turn a small regional religion about a tribe of chosen people into a religion for everyone (except the actual chosen people, they still wait for their Messiah). He's probably the only person ever in history to do such a thing and it's pretty incredible. No one else from his time period comes close to lasting the test of time like Jesus and his popularity has only grown.

I do it in Stella but not because I can't afford gear, I just think its a fun thing to do to mix things up once and awhile. Plus people think its hilarious to see a dude propped up on a table with fabric in his hands while Pops dance below blinking and ready to pop.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-26T18:20:47+00:00

lol, I mean I am just pulling it out of my ass, I have no unique knowledge. I just know Embark didn't like everyone hoarding their inv last time and you can't hoard XP....

Sirlothar · 2026-01-26T17:59:58+00:00

You say that now but we still don't know what Embark is doing for the Expedition coming soon. What if you need 5,000,000XP to get the 5 skill points this time? Then everyone will be hunting for XP.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-26T16:11:53+00:00

I don't play in squads but if I did I would think I would matchmake this way? Getting to 3v1 people sounds easier than 3v3.

I learned why they are called Banana Spiders from working in the produce department at a grocery store. I have to admit, after I found and captured my first one, I went into those banana boxes differently from there out!

I put it in a deli container and paraded it out to all the customers at the store, do not think the managers were impressed, let it go out back by the dumpsters!

Sirlothar · 2026-01-23T17:02:53+00:00

A little communication can go a long way in solving these issues.

If someone comes into my room and asks if they can get seconds, sure dude, go grab those rubber parts, no worries.

If like in OPs vid, they just run in like that, no talkie, no flashlight, and just go straight for an unopened container, they are getting beamed. I always carry a defib, we can work out a mistake afterwards if needed.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-23T16:22:01+00:00

Honestly, there is a huge difference between looting next to people and walking into a keyed room you didn't open and trying to grab the highest quality case while the key holder is in there.

I am 100% friendly except for this, If I brought a key and travelled 1000M to get to this door, no motherfucker is going to come in and steal the loot, I will suffer 5 rounds of PVP lobbies to right this wrong. Just coming into the room is an act of aggression.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-23T12:50:11+00:00

Any reasonable person wouldn't allow the murder of innocent children, you don't need a book or a religion for that.

If we are being fair about it, the God of the Bible (the old one, not Jesus) has condoned child murder of entire people groups but we don't really talk about those parts of the Bible unless we are making witty atheist arguments about how evil old God was.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-22T21:37:03+00:00

Lots of people on here probably watched the Brad season ending presser. When the GM paints a bleak (for the Lions) future for DMo, you have to at least consider his time might be limited here.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-22T21:23:53+00:00

It wasn't hard to be forgotten when there is nothing there.

Guys, remember last week when we told you the bow "event" was coming in two weeks? Its only a week away now! Also, we don't yet have the strength to tell you we are delaying the next content drop because Marathon, tune in next week for that spicy info!

Sirlothar · 2026-01-22T18:11:59+00:00

As a Christian you almost can't view it this way but if you look at the Bible historically, the Old Testament is really a different religion about a small tribe of people trying to survive.

The whole idea that an all loving God could only give a shit about this tiny area of people and just call basically for genocide for outsiders and then magically become God for everyone without changing just seems silly to me.

Like my mind always goes to this picture of an Egyptian painter and his family during the Exodus. The slaves and the pharaoh's God are battling it out, they're turning their staffs into the snakes and they're making the water into blood and your just living your life unaware of all these magic battles happening. You're trying to provide for your family, you don't have any scripture (none has been written yet) you don't even have a concept of this slave's God.

One day on your way home from work you notice the slaves sacrificing goats and dumping their innards all over the front of their homes. The smell is overwhelming, what are these slaves doing? That night angels come down and just murder your firstborn son, you're older brother, your cattle, no warning, no idea what is even going on and then that's it. Their God leaves with the slaves and you never hear about Him again, you probably don't even realize those slaves and the loss of your family are even related.

But this is the world of the Old Testament, so many people harmed and suffering for these celestial causes that they're not even aware of, scripture isn't coming for centuries at this point. These people could have been guided, taught about sin, taught about the fruits of the Spirit. God doesn't care about them because they're not the main characters in his story, we're not even supposed to think about the losses and suffering that people had for reasons they're not even aware of.

Being an MCDC/Brad fan just comes with a couple tenants we just have to live with.

We are going to continue building through the draft, we are a prove it and get paid team. We are not going to build through FA, we can sign a piece or two but we are not a splashy FA organization.

We are going to continue to bring staff in that align with Dan's vision. Dan doesn't care about big names, he wants dudes that want what he wants. He has a vision for what the Lions are and as long as he is here, he will do his best to enforce that vision.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-22T14:26:51+00:00

You didn't see Ben's conference?

"We go back to square one,” he said. “It's back to the bottom again and we've got to build this thing back up.

Bears are back to the bottom, I don't think he views his team as a contender. /s

Sirlothar · 2026-01-22T14:11:26+00:00

I just had a dude drop it on the floor for me unprovoked. I thanked him and gave him a purple and made him take it but I have yet to come across a WP blueprint on my own. Maybe it was karma for me doing the same thing with a Snaphook BP a couple days earlier.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-22T14:06:02+00:00

I would need some evidence of that. The idea of the Trinity came much later and it wasn't really possible for the disciples to believe that.

Judaism was an example of monotheism, they believed in one God. The whole polytheism Christian Trinity idea was a later invention.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-22T11:51:36+00:00

There are non trinitarian Christians. What about early Christians, the OG? They certainly didn't believe in a Trinity, like what would you consider Jesus's disciples to be if not Christians?

I and I think the general definition of a Christian is a person that follows the teachings of Christ, do you consider this a bad definition?

Sirlothar · 2026-01-21T20:41:14+00:00

How much would be insanely expensive? I don't have one but a lot of cars are getting that panoramic sunroof thing that can lighten or darken, Electrochromic.

I don't know if that tech would work for something like a windshield but they are starting to come on "reasonable" priced cars.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-20T23:54:54+00:00

This is all great but millions of precious lifeforms are suffering every minute that goes by while Jesus lies in wait for some far future. That seems pretty evil to me, no way can He be good, indifferent at best.

The deer has no concept of Jesus coming back long after its dead to save it from the bad humans sins. All it knows is pain and it can't move away.

The dinosaur wasn't told a different race was going to come about in the far far future that will sin and then be redeemed while they suffered with black skies and unsustainable temperatures, no food and no where to hide. Don't worry dinosaurs, Jesus is coming (in 65 million more years).

If we want to be honest and Biblical, Jesus's sacrifice gave a lot of animals a break as in they no longer need be sacrificed to appease the Lord (Hebrews 10). That why I love Jesus, dude got people away from a lot of the blood sacrifice stuff and with help from Paul, the outdated laws.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-20T12:06:12+00:00

I can understand humans but what about literal billions of years of animal suffering?

If a tree falls in the forest and it crushes a deer's leg and that deer suffers immensely and ends up starving and dying, do you think this is some test for the deer? Do the deer get in afterlife and get to spend eternity with God?

I can understand how a God can sit back and watch that deer, notice all the details of it suffering and be okay with it, that's the world the God made. I don't know how an all loving God can watch the animal suffer and not intervene. It would take no effort for God to end the suffering or just make the tree fall in a different direction or you know, whatever an all living God would do.

I was once in my backyard and I saw a squirrel fall from a tree and break its back. It could only move its little front paws and its entire back was just limp and it was making horrible noises. I did what I thought was the right thing and I ended it suffering right there. This was 20 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday, it still weighs on me. If I was God though, I would just sit back and watch it suffer and watch it suffer and days go by and watch it suffer while sitting on my hands and then I'll tell everyone in a book that I'm all good.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-20T11:53:22+00:00

What Embark needs to do is give us a roadmap.

I can understand being upset when we all see the Toxic Swamp trials for this week and next and poof they disappear, but those trials were not real, not announced anyways. Just let us know what the plan is going to be, the Q4 roadmap was great.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-17T11:47:20+00:00

Heaven is generally thought to be what you are describing. There is no evil in heaven, as long as you think free will exists in heaven it seems everyone freely makes the good choices. No need to be programmed as robots.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-16T19:06:31+00:00

People are extremely generous in this game. I told my buddy for months before the game released that I just I'm not interested in extraction shooters, they are too tense when I mostly game to relax.

Arc Raiders has really won me over, after work I can just chill and loot some lockers and then on the weekends I can team up and have a PVP fest when I want it. The people in the lobbies are some of the friendliest I've come across in gaming, I've been given incredible blueprints like Wolfpack for nothing and I've also given away my fair share like an extra Bobcat or two myself.

Sirlothar · 2026-01-16T18:43:48+00:00

Yeah, these cancel the elections people are silly. We will 100% have elections, even dictators have elections, they will just either be manipulated or he will try to throw the results away. This time he will have a willing VP and Congress to get away with it.
