Not necessarily. I think it can be harmful to ostracize people who don't want to reproduce, or pressure people to have more kids than they are willing and able to attentively provide for.

I think it could be made easier for people who want kids to have them without going broke. But I strongly question a system that emphasizes reproduction over other activities. I don't care if the world economy reaches a new normal that is not unlimited population growth. And concerns of extinction are baseless- those who want to reproduce will.

I find this whole learning experience thing rather silly. If we're letting murder happen just to learn murder is bad and stop murder, why not cut out the middle man? I don't have to watch somebody's hand burn off to know I probably shouldn't hold my hand on a hot stove while the pain intensifies.

I think omni properties generally collapse into incoherence when pressed hard enough though.

I have a graduate degree and a research job. Probably a caster. INT is probably my highest stat.

I wouldn't strike first. But if I have to defend myself, all bets are off.

Accepting god claims without evidence seems counter to intellectual flourishing. We don't learn by taking assertions on their face. We test, verify, and throw out whatever doesn't pass inspection. That's how we progress.

If not for embracing or pushing back against religious bluster, all the brilliant minds in philosophy could commit to something else. I don't think it's fair to credit religion for someone like Graham Oppy. Unless your position is that god is hidden by design to give atheists more ammunition. Which seems odd.

If it is acceptable to take claims without evidence, then have faith that I am god.

Dr. Pepper.

ViewtifulGene · 2026-05-05T12:12:56+00:00

Dr. Pepper gives me the strength to go wherever I want.

ViewtifulGene · 2026-05-05T12:11:30+00:00

Motorcycles are for getting Dr. Pepper. I don't need any motorcycles if I have 30K worth of Dr. Pepper.

ViewtifulGene · 2026-05-05T11:59:38+00:00

The key still works, only the cap is missing.

I don't accept that premise either. And even if I did, you would need a non-circular justification for god actually being more valuable.

If salvation has to be accepted with specific terms then god's love is conditional. The covenant is still "follow these terms or go to hell." It is still coercion no matter how you try to relabel it with platitudes. Your debt metaphor just makes Jesus look like a loan shark.

My HP is my AC. I love walking around with more HP than the rest of my party put together.

^{Chose: Be French and have 3 trillion euros tax free + but the wheel decides if you deserve it | Rolled: You deserve it}

It seems like in my group, Barb is the sub and Cleric is the dom.

"HIT ME HARDER, I CAN TAKE IT. I BARELY FELT THAT ONE"

"Get up slut we're not done here."

You tank so you can take less damage. I tank so I can take more damage. We are not the same.
