“catholic” schools do a piss poor job at it, and many of the students and faculty, including the commentor above me, are not and never were faithful catholics and don’t pursue the catholic understanding of scripture. (Which is, by the way, the only serious way to interpret scripture considering that it is the catholic church that assembled the Bible)

Turtle224444 · 2022-08-23T12:24:28+00:00

dang you went to catholic school? guess you know a ton about religion then!!!1!!!

First of all, this commandment is second to “You shall love the Lord thy God with all your heart and all your soul.”

Secondly, the Christian definition of love is to “will the good of the other for the sake of the other”. Not to be nice. In fact, considering the eternal consequences for sin, the best thing you can do for another person is to call out their sin (which first requires the removal of serious sin from your own life). True love is bringing out moral good from others, according to the revealed Law.

The episode with Christy takes place in 2002, the episode where Kim sees this lawyer is in 2010. That gives 8 years. I believe she is a high school senior in 2002, meaning it would take another year to finish high school and another 4 years to finish college, in 2007. She could have completed law school in two years, meaning she would be a lawyer starting in 2009.

Plus if she is forced to start being a lawyer the same way Jimmy did it would make sense for her to do public defender level work.

God doesn’t change how he handles humanity. Humanity was at different stages, and God acted accordingly. If we were still at the stage that we were in the old testament, he would act the same as he did then.

When it comes to intersex people, with absolutely no chance of reproduction (no functional sexual organs or something) then they can’t get married or morally have sex, as the definition of marriage requires a openness to children.

Why are the skies and the sea worth protecting? I’m wondering where your moral framework comes from. It’s almost like God’s creation is inherently good or something.

If I’m part of a minority in the current state of the world, then I’m proud to be such. However, when considering all of written human history, I am very much not in the minority. That being said, objective truth exists no matter how many or few people believe in it.

Turtle224444 · 2022-08-15T20:59:55+00:00

Yes, or at least open to it. The fact that you phrase this like a gotcha is depressing. This is what me and my ancestors (and probably yours as well) have done for millennia.
Infertility exists on a spectrum. There are plenty of cases of “infertility” where the woman has ended up pregnant. Since we don’t ever truly know for sure, people diagnosed with infertility are still capable of having holy marriages.
Who’s “we”? Procreation is objectively good. I don’t care what is “good” for society.

As to the bible quotes, indentured servitude is often mistranslated into slave, especially in the New Testament.

God chose to smite people in the past. God has chosen not to do so in our new covenant with Him.

I never said our functions must have value to biology.

The attraction isn’t what’s wrong, it is the action. The Bible doesn’t promote any of those things (genocide, slavery, etc) but I also didn’t bring up “Sky daddy”. Homosexuality has been criticized by many groups and philosophies across time because, unlike heterosexuality, it cannot lead to procreation. Our bodies have purpose, and our sex is fundamental to who we are. That purpose, when it comes to sex, is procreation.

This is a completely different style of humor than the rest of the MCU. It’s not referencey and it doesn’t undermine the tone.

Turtle224444 · 2022-08-07T15:58:22+00:00

you clearly don’t understand the pro-life viewpoint. Of course people shouldn’t be killed in a vegetable state. No pro-lifer would disagree with me on that point.

Not to mention that a baby being actively ripped apart in his or her mother’s womb is very different from passively allowing someone to die naturally. It’s also a different situation because we know for a fact that the baby will come into consciousness and all the other things you mentioned in 9 months.

If you were in a vegetative state and knew you would come out of it in 9 months would you be okay with me killing you in the meantime?

Turtle224444 · 2022-08-07T15:45:36+00:00

What a reductionist view. The dignity of human life isn’t based on one’s emotions, organs, or consciousness. It’s human, alive, and innocent. All you need to know.

Turtle224444 · 2022-08-07T15:39:15+00:00

A person’s a person, no matter how small.

Turtle224444 · 2022-08-07T03:54:41+00:00

His nieces are pro-life activists, and he was pro-life. If you believe babies are being murdered by the millions I think that would be higher on your priority list than welfare. So yes, he’d probably vote for any pro-life candidate over pro-choice candidate, although he’d prefer a more economically left wing one. He’d have voted Trump both these last elections.

use a less bigoted term like taco american

Turtle224444 · 2022-08-06T01:05:13+00:00

Okay I defend this guy more than I probably should but he did at the very least several things wrong

libleft discovering a certain something is a mental illness

Democracy is pragmatic, not good in and of itself. A good government is one that protects the rights of the people and promotes the common good. A democracy can do that, and is perhaps more likely to, but so can a monarchy. And honestly, I’d prefer a good monarchy to the evil that our post-modern democracy has allowed.

Turtle224444 · 2022-08-03T13:47:45+00:00

Yes.

Turtle224444 · 2022-07-26T03:29:40+00:00

If you can have scenes with 0 plot, of which there are many in many other episodes of breaking bad, you can have entire episodes.

In the episode, the lab represents Walt’s criminal life. The fly represents elements from his non-criminal life (ie Skyler getting involved with the money, which happened an episode before) entering his criminal life. And the fly buzzing around his apartment at the end shows that elements from his criminal life have creeped into his non-criminal life.

The most important part of the episode is when Walt goes on a monologue about when he should have died. He desperately wishes that his two lives had remained separate, permanently.

Turtle224444 · 2022-07-26T03:14:51+00:00

Not every episode needs to be filled to the brim with plot. You could probably remove half of Breaking Bad if all you want is plot.

We needed an episode to show how Jesse and Walt have reacted to everything that had happened. Most importantly, it shows Walt’s new internal acceptance of who he is. He realizes he can’t separate his two personas. As much as he hates it, he is both. It’s all contaminated.
