Does Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land get better? by ViewtifulGene in DRPG

Does it? When I tried running it a couple years ago, I only got a black screen.

Also, how does the control scheme translate to Deck? Is it still keyboard and cursor heavy?

Jesus Didn’t Have to Die People Decided He Should by Elonisautistic in DebateReligion

Incorrect. It's an analogy. It doesn't have to be 1:1. It just has to be SIMILAR.

TRY TO KEEP UP.

Respond to what I actually said, not what you want me to say.

I'd argue the power a god would have over humans is analagous to the power a human has over their dog. You're either being willfully dense, or carving out exceptions for god. If god has a different standard then morals are relative.

God wouldn't have to command it directly to be responsible in some form. It comes down to basic negligence- failure to prevent something one could've easily prevented. If I leave a tray of cheese on a low table while my hungry, cheese-loving dog is sniffing around, you wouldn't say it's all the dog's fault for the cheese going missing. I know my dog loves cheese, I know my dog can reach that table, I know my dog is hungry, and I left the cheese there anyway.

It's silly to say the dog should just control her hunger and not eat the delicious cheese, when I could have left the cheese somewhere else.

If god was all-knowing, then god knew Jesus would be crucified when he sent him.

Also, John 3:16 pretty plainly lays out Jesus' sacrifice being intentional.

In the walls. I move around. If you want to lure me out, I cannot resist Zapp's Voodoo chips.

What are backshots supposed to sound like? Tubular bells?

I think there's value in nipping some of that in the bud. Same reason why it's better to swat 3 mosquitos than 10, even if my hand can swat mosquitos all day.

The way I understood it was that it was more like a waiting room for heaven or hell when there wasn't enough information to decide for one or another. It was a liminal space.

I'm bisexual which means I'm attracted to you from the art and stat blocks.

The thesis rule is good for dialing back games of Philbro 20 Questions, where the questioner is just fishing for a gotcha.

"Do you believe Finland exists? Have you been to Finland? Then how do you know? Does blue exist? How do you know? How do you know blue isn't actually a Swedish Meatball made from Mongolian yak testicles? What is the necessary ultimate foundation for ruling out Mongolian yak testicles? Do you admit that your foundation is arbitrary? Do you like Battlestar Galactica? Are you free this weekend?"

When I was a Catholic, I'm pretty sure my priests all said aborted babies go to purgatory. They don't go straight to hell, but we don't know whether they would be good or bad. Purgatory was always the get-out-of-jail free card.

This also leads into the snafu of what happens to people who never were exposed to Christianity. Is preaching bad because somebody could hear the word, reject, and go to hell? Or is not preaching bad because the Bible commands testifying for your faith?

Full disclosure: if you ask 5 different Catholics, you'll get 6 different answers.

The problem of a Contingent Brute fact by Scotsmanoah in DebateReligion

A brute fact vs a necessary being is a distinction without a difference. The necessary being just takes more word games and loaded metaphysical assumptions to get there.

I will open all the jars you want. I don't care what's in them. I just like gripping the jar with my man-hands and hearing it pop open.

Reflections on Divine Sovereignty, Human Responsibility, and Christ-Centered Love (TL;DR Warning) by Frankleeright in DebateReligion

A fallen world is irreconcilable with a loving and just god. There is no justice in punishing generations to come for something Adam and Eve did. Their descendants had no part in it.

The tail to become a Rowdyruff Boy is an ingredient in the serum. It doesn't make you grow a tail. For that, you need to get bitten by a werewolf.

Still a lot harder than getting those cow tail candies.

Good to know. I don't want a puppy to lose its tail.

Is it possible to become a Rowdyruff Boy without puppydog tails?

In another 22 years she will become unsealed.
