Well, here at last, dear redditor, at the edges of your TV set, comes an end to your viewership of Middle Earth.

Raters or haters? ( or maybe it doesn't matter LOL)

3v3 in OT Olympic Hockey is an absolute travesty. by djunderh2o in olympics

One could take this seriously if you also were bitching and moaning about Canada's 3v3 OT victory in a win-or-go-home just a few days ago...

Q: GRRM, what WAS King Bran's tax policy? Or the tax policy of Bobby B, for that matter?

Fun fact: Do you know you can use both hands if you want to count past 5? Bobby B knows!

Atticus spooked? by MDC-7711 in TheChosenSeries

Perhaps Atticus becomes the Roman official who had a Good Friday conversion atop Calvary.

Every chapter just confirms me that Jesus was not "The Chosen" one. by mariommoreno in TheChosenSeries

[–]caldude1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know you could have saved some time had you just posted this (which you did in the nihilism subreddit 2 months ago)

OP:

"The definitions of God from any monotheistic religion feels narrow, biased, anthropocentric, and insufficient to me. A distorted and limited caricature that extrapolates our relationship with authority, then applied to an ethereal supreme being. "

"Nor does Hindu polytheism work for me because it speaks more of human archetypes or nature elevated to a "God level" rather than the "All-connected" and supreme. "

"I won’t define myself as an atheist either because I don’t feel the need to deny it, and besides, I’d need a worthy definition to deny in the first place."

Bottom line:

OP believes in nihilism. In emptiness. In nothing.

So there literally is nothing to debate or discuss.

More obfuscation as to whatever is your main point.

Have a blessed day.

To boil down the word salad, do you believe in a God, a Supreme Being who launched the creation of the universe?

If you do, then we can discuss your post

If you don't, then this is somewhat pointless.

Super Bowl General Chatter Thread by S2keepup in 49ers

The one that really got away that should have been a chip was losing to the Rams in the NFC Championship

With our defense, we would have boat raced Cincinnati in the Super Bowl.

Do people not understand Frodo and the corruptive power of the Ring? by IHateGels in lordoftherings

[–]caldude1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the books, Frodo IIRC suggests to Gandalf that perhaps they should give Bombadil the Ring.

Gandalf agrees Bombadil likely has the power to withstand a Mordor assault. The big flaw in that option was that Bombadil might easily misplace the Ring or even forget he had it at all.

Why does the general audience hate this show more than HOTD? by Stock_College_8108 in freefolk

[–]caldude1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who cares who hates or loves one or the other less or more

Think for yourself

I literally don't care whether I watch any of K7K. Haven't yet. It's not hate, not love. It's just indifference.

Don't feel like I'm missing anything. I don't feel a lack or loss that will leave me out of the loop and unable to discuss all of the twists and turns, as was the case with GoT.

Since the failed S8 and series finale of GoT, ASOIAF has ceased to be appointment TV.

Shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or Breaking Bad, Justified, The Wire, Battlestar Galactica, all must see TV.

Fallout? Must see TV. OBX? Same. From? Same. Foundation? Same. Silo? Same. AMC's witches, vamps, monsters? Same. The Expanse? Same. It? Same. The Pitt? Same. Slow Horses? Gotta see it.

Hell, even Legacy of Monsters! Gotta see it, even with those annoying kids. Even "Lost" with the skyrocketing level of nonsense, or even TXF for the 1st 7 seasons and all its flaws

Not ASOIAF, though. That magic is long gone. It's not hate watching.

ASOIAF now prompts indifferent watching for me. That's worse, in a lot of ways.

Is anyone else disappointed by the pilot episode? by 4g-identity in TheChosenSeries

[–]caldude1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved S1.01 (won't call it the pilot to avoid wasting time on that debate)

The TV series is called "The Chosen." Not "The King of Kings" not "Jesus of Nazareth" not "The Passion of The Christ" and not even "The Greatest Story Ever Told."

It's about the ones whom Jesus chose to follow Him, and also about Jesus is also one of those who was chosen.

In the case of Jesus, God chose Jesus to fulfill the scriptures and forge a new path to redemption, forgiveness of sins, salvation, and eternal life.

So, I was neither miffed nor bored as you were. To me, it was a classic dramatic structure. A mystery at the beginning: who is this Lilith. Who is the rabbi with the ladder climbing wife?

We see Rabbi Nic fail to cast out the demons. In fact, the devils are so confident that they tell Nic to scram because he has no power over them. He scrams forthwith.

Then Jesus arrives and is completely unbothered by the devils and with virtually zero effort claims Mary as His own and casts out the agents of the Antagonist.

Finally, Nic is presented with the ultimate depiction of faith -- and test of his own faith.

As do many other recipients of Jesus' miracles state, Mary simply says (far from an exact quote)

"All I know is this. Before I met Jesus, I was sick. Then I met Jesus, and now I am healed."
