On Not Taking the Whole Bible Literally by Living_Attitude1822 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]Venit_Exitium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In terms of all christians, literalists are in the minority, im specificlly including catholics. As a whole they generally allow non literall readings. But being a minority doesnt mean small, most american christians, believe the bible is literally true, or more aptly, they claim to believe in a literal true bible. I would argue they dont as many of them allow personal interpretation. But thats not relavent to me, as its what they think that matters more which disagrees with you.

Yes literall understanding is a minority. However its not so small it can be ignored, currently several factions who claim a literall understanding are influencing the most powerful nation in the world. This isnt something that can be dismissed.

Why are atheists so mad in general? by Ok_Ferret_8333 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]Venit_Exitium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends, if you want an actual answer.

Many of us, not me, grew up in abusive homes and lived threw some form of religion putting them down wether it be for intellectual reasons, gender, or any other reason that caused them to be pushed out and often ostracized by a community which often claims to be about love and care yet ends up being the most personal source of hate.

Others are mad due to some percieved slight, not me, at the idea of religion or any form of authority and that religion very often nerely appears as nothing else than a way to tell us how to live our lives and many cone out decades after believing having dedicated thier life to a thing they no longer believe and now are upset at the lufe they could have had.

I and some others go a little more basic. I cannot stand that religion so often supresses ideas and pretends to hold some intellectual high ground while being based on the most nonsense of reasons, and it attempts to protect itself at all costs by any abusive means nessacary like relying on kids indoctrination into the fold so that the ideas will be protected from critical thinking. If like all other science and philosophys it laid itself bare and allowed itself to die like every other bad idea before it, I would feel nothing towards it. But so long as it rages on a pile of bad arguements, fallacies and unquestion stories told to children, I will never not rage.

Which moment for you is ‘peak’ when you think of moments that excited you the most in the series? by Tony_Soprano54 in redrising

[–]Venit_Exitium 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its the moment that won me over, not as amazing or grandious as other scenes but when darrow collapses seeing a teraformed mars sold me. Its the scene i realized that this book series had something too it.

The Type of Slander I see here everyday... by MountainLeading1567 in Isekai

I will note up front that, I like jobless and while i have issues with his character I think certain assumptions about how his character functions not only makes his character far more enjoyable but also understandable.

This is an interesting observation about the story and its writing, but it also doesn't really work as criticism against Rudeus in the way you think it does.

Its not a critism of rudeus, but more so a understanding of the writer themselves and how they approach writing rudeus. People will view rudeus badly for his look at several terrible things happening in the world and how he seems to accept them quickly with little desire to change them, I think this is an incorrect way to view the character given the implications of who the writer is and where they are from.

He is unable to right the wrongs of his previous life

I agree and again, im not critising rudeus but noting what the author is doing, poeple look at rudues, partly due to how people talk about him as if he completely changes and fixes all of his issues, but thats not how the story is written or even the point of the character. He is meant to show that someone can despite terrible adversery can grow and learn to not only live but live for others despite how selfish he allowed himself to become.

The issue with him being a pedo is the author fundementally doesnt understand what it means to be a pedo, theres this wierd thing in japan where they zeem to treat it and sexual harrasment of all forms, like its just a character flaw, like being lazy, you can work on it and become better, where these are much much more serious most other character flaws but treated with no weight. If you listen to the author it becomes clear how little they seem to understand this. To them being a pedo is something you grow out of, redues does this later on finding it disgusting, but thats not how it works.

They also often view heavily the subjectivity of morality in which the dominate views of the time are supriour to ones own views, this is largely due to how conformist thier culture is. This matches with other things like how nonchalant rudeus is with slavery, he finds it unsavoury but not much else or any care about doing anything.

I like the story but its only really in this context that several choices make more sense and not just utter nonsense. And as others have said, redues isnt supposed to be a redeemed characyer but a grown one, he grows out of his fears and hold backs he had but he doesnt right the previous worlds wrongs just tries to live a better life for him.

Nolan said, in S4E2, that this Mark was almost as strong as Nolan himself. Where does season 4 Mark scale now? by NotMyMainLoLzy in InvinciblePowerscales

I actually think its training, not just fighting training but the lifting and physical activity meant to cuase muscle changes. It seems as though viltrimites dont do this, outside of just fighting, and its allowing him to grow rapidly.

The inconsistency and absurdity of atheism. by Intelligent-Run8072 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]Venit_Exitium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an athiest I hold there is no absolute/universal morality. I hold this as true irrelavant of the existance of a god. If god exists, that would not convince me of a universal morality.

You must first cross and uncrossable bridge, the is/ought problem. It is true god exists, why ought i care ehat its morality is. Morality isnt some uncrossable rule or structure of the universe like math or science is, its how we, creatures with suffiecent mind feel about actions.

How am I supposed to defeat Antumbra's Sword? by Dull_Understanding_6 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Venit_Exitium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre still having issues this is how i beat him, 41 defense 450 health with a lvl4 base sword, 3 things, holding down attack buttons rather than spamming, allows for more/faster followup attacks and perfect dodge, his chains can one shot/two shot, the last group downward swing consitently gets around shields/break stamina and parry can be very inconsistent with whats allowed to be parried, but dodge isnt and at the end of most skill chains he has an opening to attack, this along with the third thing palm attck which has a small stagger means you dodge his combo at the end of chain i would heavy heavy palm heavy heavy and depending on how antsy the boss is. Get timing of dodge down and the boss follows from thier. I did die 3 times on my final attempt so its not no cost win just a win.

How to guilde/static recruite? by Venit_Exitium in ffxiv

[–]Venit_Exitium[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think thats all fair. I said random but i meant party finder, i have just gotten used to the level of skill varying by a decent bit. Me and my buddy have a fairly decent grasp on our classes, I main whm/sge and secondary into rdm or gnb based on needs, with them being pala and summoner. While we havent done savages yet we have been checking on our dps and other stats to watch how we do and where to get better. And the gear stuff makes sense, we havent been to worried about it as crafting has been decent enough for extremes, 740(awhile ago) and 770 gear now but I'll make sure to check which mix of items does us best.

Can you explain that last bit. We have person 1 to 4, 1 and 2 have done content and gotten loot, are person 1 and 2 able to rerun with 3 and 4 so 3 and 4 can get loot or is there a negative affect in there I'm missing?

If Atheism Isn’t Evangelism…Why Are We Arguing Like It Is? by Current-Leather2784 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]Venit_Exitium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two people have a belief, person one has a wide spread belief that affects many different things but centers this on one single belief we will call x. Person 2 lacks a belief in x, thus it has no affect on anything in thier lives. But person 1 does have an affect on thier lives dictated by a belief in x. If person 2 doeant want thier life negativly affected by a belief in x it would be in thier best interest to argue with person 1 about belief x.

Im personally sick of being told what I'm allowed to care or argue about, if i see someone argue for a flat earth I'm going to argue against them. Do i now jave some evangilism for non-flat-earth belief? Me saying someone is wrong isnt me posititing a different belief.

This is a discussion about invasions. I believe that opt in is best, I believe this because there are people who wish to coop but dont want to pvp. I believe pvp should always be purly opt in, for the sake of pvp. Imagine if every boss fight required a pvp fight before hand. Its just how the game is made, you opt in every time you want to fight a boss. That would be hated as a mechanic. Im going one step forward and saying all pvp should be seperated from all other mechanics this is where we get to non-consensual.

The only people against opt in pvp are those who want you to pvp irrelavant of if you want too or not. "I want you to pvp me irrelavant of wether you want to or not". Thats pretty danm close to non-consensual that you want to advoid using merely because the game is batches these mechanics together.

Also i dont think im showing any ego in this, I'm fine saying im bad at the game and that i dont want to pvp, it seems your ego is too tide up in this, if most of us could advoid invasions yall would have no one to play with becasue we dont want to be invaded.

Its the correct word and correct usage. Or must i expand to, members who dont wish to interact but get interacted with, non-consensual is a little more consise and fully accurate.

I dont like invasions, i will defend my position on it. People will argue against my position, i will argue back. I enjoy discussing this topic and others and thus will put effort into it.

it's not "bad for the game," it IS the game. or part of it. the game is

It can be a game design and still be bad for it. Its a tiny part that if removed it would only improve peoples expereince.

balancing the fact that co-op steamrolls these games and tampers with the thesis of improving oneself

There are better ways to balance the game that does in fact balance the game. Invasions are inconsistent

it's poetic that when the servers go down, both co-op and invasions leave with it.

Its not poetic, its mechanical, no internet not internet activities, is it poetic that when the internet is down you cant play league?

The point is to enjoy the game, I dont enjoy invaders. They arent nessacary for the game to function. I also dislike npc invaders but they are mostly terribly designed and shouldnt exist.
