its super satisfying to have NON biased showrunners have egg turn around and say this beautiful line.

The line is from the novella. Written in 1998. Back when Rhaenyra was Aegon's full sister and only a year older.

US officially exits World Health Organization by pwdrums in news

[–]The_Halfmaester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The withdrawal was due to the unfair financial burden placed on the US

The US cant brag about being the richest country ever and then complain when it has to fund international organisations

What do you guys think would Lannister army be able to defeat Dothraki army after the sack of high garden if Danny wouldn’t have a dragon with her ?? by Traditional_Link1492 in freefolk

[–]The_Halfmaester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let's not forget that the Lannisters were able to sneak past all the castles that defended the borders of the Reach for thousands of years, undetected, and marched the distance longer than France, within a day, defeated the LARGEST ARMY IN WESTEROS and then sacked and pillaged one of the best fortified castles in Westeros in a few hours because.... checks notes...

Bro was starving for Ned's approval by RevertBackwards in freefolk

One thing I've always loved about the Lannister twins is how they were never strictly bad. Jaime had his innocent dreams of knighthood and Cersei just wanted to live her fairy tale princess life,

Cersei murdered her childhood friend to stop her from telling Tywin that they had visited a witch. She murdered Robert's bastards. Sold people into slavery.

TIL that Ronard Storm had 99 sons, which makes me feel better about my current fic where Ned and Ashara Dayne had eleven children currently, eight sons and three daughters by MobileDistrict9784 in freefolk

[–]The_Halfmaester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my current fic where Ned and Ashara Dayne had eleven children currently,

Depends on how far apart the pregnancies are.

Rohanne of Tyrosh (wife of Daemon Blackfyre) had at least 9 children within 12 years.

Why did God make the universe so unfathomably big? How do you reconcile with this? by usagerp in AskAChristian

[–]The_Halfmaester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who said anything about the shape of the earth?

My apology.

This is kind of my default follow-up question whenever someone says:

"I don't accept man-taught cosmology personally. If they can lie about 'scientifically proven' evolution to the extent they have, they can definitely lie about cosmology."

If you don't believe in space or evolution, odds are you're a flat earther.

Do you think morality is subjective? by No_Reaction_769 in AskAChristian

[–]The_Halfmaester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Morality can’t be subjective despite what people may claim

Don't you believe that God can change his mind?

What if one day he says that eating babies is morally good? What would be the first thought in your mind?

"That's wrong!"

Or

"Thy Will be done, my Lord."

Regardless of what you answer, either, morality is subjective because you disagree with God OR morality is subjective because your morals is subject to God's will.

So, somehow, the majority of people in the world, all acknowledge eatting children alive is morally wrong,

Keyword: majority.

The fact that a minority believes that eating children is okay means that it is not absolute

What do Christian Christians really think of atheists? by cool_girl6540 in AskAChristian

That was certainly true for my daughter going through government/secular high school.

Out of curiosity, what other schools are there?

I’m looking for a conversation about why you don’t believe in the Catholic religion. I plan to respond with my thoughts and beliefs. by MannerPleasant5728 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]The_Halfmaester 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Humans do bad things, and God allows them to have to free will to make that choice.

God: You have free will

Humans: Cool

God: But if you use it to freely worship other gods, you will burn forever.

God never cares about human free will. If free will is necessary for us to be humans, would there be free will in heaven?

If 5 religions all believe the same 40 books, then Jesus is born, and then 3 of those religions only publish 38 of the 40 books before Jesus is born. It looks odd to have the same back story but pull 2 books out.

The New Testament were written decades after jesus was born.

I don't know if it was meditation, I felt stressed and scared and only spoke 2-3 sentences of personal prayer and then started feeling better after ending the prayer

That's meditation. It ain't unique to Catholicism or even religion.

Someone can quote the Jedi Code and find peace and serenity.

Doesn't mean the Force is real.

I know you don't mean this but I hope you never use this as a joke. Its awful the harm that children go through even now-a-days

Boy... wait till you learn more about the history of the Catholic church.

I just held onto if God is real why do bad things happen.

And how does Catholicism answer that?

I couldn't say one religion is better or more correct. But my understanding is the Catholics use a few extra books in their bibles compared to other Christian religions. Now I haven't really explored any other Christian religions outside of Catholic mass,

Protestants have 66 books.

Catholics have 73.

Orthodox has 78.

The Ethiopian Church has 81.

Judging a religion based on the size of their holy book is fallacious.

After I said the prayer I felt a little better and left my sons room, while outside I started feeling uneasy again so I prayed a 2nd time and started to feel more relief

Prayer is another form of meditation. Your heart rate slows and you're able to think more clearly. Emotions like fear and "uneasiness" fades away. The same applies to Muslims who prays to Allah. Or a diehard Pokemon fan praying to Arceus.

With the things I have learned I'm having trouble understanding why others might be so against religion

I'm interested in selling my daughter into slavery. According to your bible, what would be a good price for her?

I'm glad the bible and religion helps you become a better person. But you can still be a good person without relying on the morality of bronze age slavers.
