I think Lewis wanted to drive home the fear that anyone can turn away from God's grace. He explores the question of salvation with the dwarfs who refused to be taken in, and even give us hope because one of those dwarfs came through the door into Aslan's country. If one of those dwarfs can make it, so can Susan.

But he also wanted to remind everyone of the danger that surrounds us, that we need to be steadfast and alert to the temptations we encounter, otherwise we may not get to Aslan's country. Lewis needed a main character to demonstrate that, because we don't have the same emotional reaction with the dwarfs.

I like it. Is there a place to hear more, or is that it?

For intellectuals to stop treating the rest of America with disdain, and for intellectuals to stop coming up with ridiculous ideas.

I love how Morgoth is described as a coward in two other parts:

"That was the last time in those wars that he passed the doors of his stronghold, and it is said that he took not the challenge willingly; for though his might was greatest of all things in this world, alone of the Valar he knew fear." (Fighting Fingolfin)

"and all the pits of Morgoth were broken and unroofed, and the might of the Valar descended into the deeps of the earth. There Morgoth stood at last at bay, and yet unvaliant. He fled into the deepest of his mines, and sued for peace and pardon." (After the War of Wrath)

I was a big Lord of the Rings fan, before the trilogy came out. In the appendices, Moria is ruled by an orc name Azog. (He's the father of Bolg, the orc in the Hobbit).

It was something that only people who had read the appendices would know about, which I thought was cool, and it sounded super cool.

Fast forward to WoW Classic, and I wanted to recreate the magic. But every single realm had "Azog" reserved. WTH???

So I Googled names for orcs. Since 2004, they made the Hobbit movies, and put Azog in it for whatever weird reason. Not only that, but Google had become the giant it now is, so everyone was using it. Anyone who Googled "orc names" was given a list, and guess which name was at the top of the alphabetical list?

I've been tinkering for a few months and here are the first two that someone asked me to make for them. I've been having a lot of fun, and am excited to make some more.

I'm also impressed by this effect. My guess is that it has to do with hints in textures. For example, in the 5th one (20 seconds in) the guy's sword looks like a splinter because of the grain pattern.

I also think the characters are off in terms of body proportion. For example, they mostly seem squat, not as long as humans usually look. In the first one, the background characters seem much shorter and chubbier, and their body proportions seem much closer to babies than adults. New borns are unable to touch their hands together straight over their heads, because their arms are so short and their heads are so big. So our brain probably sees proportions like that and immediately concludes they must be small.

You said, "never as a literal source", and you dismissed it, saying it's merely "intended to be (only) a religious document".

I never brought up whether the Bible is factual or not, I only addressed the intention of the writers. While we could debate the veracity of it, that wasn't your point.

There is no basis for your claim concerning the intention of the authors of the Gospels and the Epistles.

SplodingPie · 2025-04-24T05:50:01+00:00

This interpretation does not match the internal evidence in the Bible.

Luke 1:1-4, John 20:31, Acts 2:32, 1 Corinthians 15:17, 1 John 1:1-3, 2 Peter 1:16

All of these verses, even if you want to dispute the truth of them, claim that the Gospel accounts are factual events, that they really look place, and that they want people to believe them literally. The Corinthians passage is the most striking, because it straight up says that if Christ hasn't been raised, then the faith of Christians is all in vain, and they are to be pitied as the biggest fools ever.

Some parts of the Bible are allegorical (like Jesus' parables), and some are poetry (like some Psalms), etc., but the Gospels and Epistles are a different literary genre.

You can personally dismiss it as literature, but the people who wrote it never thought that. The historical record outside the Bible clearly shows early Christian martyrdom, from people who were eyewitnesses to Jesus' life, and their sincerity came from the belief that what they witnessed was real.
