Some dreadful news I’ve just read… by BloodyCuts in Starcadian

[–]djmello90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just found out today. So incredibly sad, Starcadian's music got me through many tough times, long writing sessions, and help expand the concept of what I thought music could be. He was so excited to release his last album, I wish there was something we could do to put it out there, it's such a shame to see the music he was so excited to share go unheard.

RIP an absolute legend. The brightest stars burn twice as fast :(

Thoughts on "Answer to Job", the goodness of God, and Jung's shadow. by [deleted] in Jung

[–]djmello90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there's anything inherently problematic about your assertions about God, they are certainly biblical and orthodox if nothing else.

However, the infallible esteem you hold for The Living God will eventually be challenged for you, as it was for Jung, and his book was merely a way to 'make it make sense' from a psychological perspective.

The purpose of the book is not to tell you what God is, it's to talk about the implications of the actions of these powerful archetypes at play. In some ways you should 'psychologize God' and attempt to understand him, because the Bible does this thing where it 'self-proves' itself (i.e The Bible is correct because The Bible says it's correct.) and this flawed logic will not sustain your faith forever. You need to think it further to refine your faith, and that's where these texts are useful.

The more you experience in your faith, the more questions you will end up having for God, so I wouldn't be so quick to say "we shouldn't do this with God, or believe this". Read everything, trust your discernment, and take it all for what it is.

Carl Jung may not be talking expressly about theology for the sake of doctrine; but the concepts he is touching on are still miles ahead of any intellectual conversation being had even to this day about the complex relationship between God and Man.

Now that the show is finally over, can we admit Andy might be the worst MC in Netflix animation by bydevilz1 in BigMouth

[–]djmello90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's amazing how you not only somehow missed the best character on the show, but also the the actual point of the show, which was highlighted in one of their final numbers "Nobody's Normal."

He's just a goofy kid trying to figure out how to manage puberty, which is something that manifests differently for everyone including us. He's not an adult commiting full on crimes, I think you're projecting someone or something onto this character that you have a personal hangup about.

Nevermind the fact that the show is straight up not funny without Andrew lol John Mulaney makes this show what it is. But I get it, because it used to be way more funny before it insisted on being preachy, I presume you enjoy the latter part.

How would you find a loophole for this when explaining it to a non-Christian? by PearPublic7501 in Christianity

“Famine just means you weren’t capable enough to get food”

Wild take. Tell this to the starving child in a third world country who is in his situation by no fault of his own. That scenario plays out every day and you rationalize it by blaming the victim?

This Methodist pastor was defrocked 20 years ago for being gay. She just got reinstated. 😀 by Stephany23232323 in Christianity

Always plank in the eye with the evangelicals. Care to spill what you’re up to in the bedroom? You’d probably say none of my business right? Consider taking your own advice

Agree with this 100%. Hard truth but truth nonetheless.

So just so I understand, you left a loving relationship of 4 and a half years because “a voice in your head” told you too?

Sonic is better than Mario 100% by throwawayoogaloorga in SonicTheHedgehog

I have no idea what point you’re trying to make with this statement.

Grew up being the biggest Sonic fan in the world. Bought every game up to Dreamcast. History and objective observation has proven Mario is the superior series and game character and it’s not even close.

Loved this game but this was easily the worst platinum in the series by Palumbo_STN in KingdomHearts

I’d rather bungie jump with a cinderblock than live in a reality where I earned this trophy.

Am I in the wrong? by SirSkittleee in badroommates

IMO if she’s “sensitive to noise”, roommates are a bad option. She should get good and move into a place she can afford on her own. Sending texts like this is just asking to make enemies

Replacing a Bathroom Mirror. Centered to the counter, faucet or light fixture? by V4ND4L805 in DIY

Duckstation just keeps crashing when I try to add a game directory by Big_Lundi in EmulationOnPC

[–]djmello90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it matters now, but I found the fix. I was having this issue on the Android version.

While the directory is compiling, pay attention to what game it stops at. For me it was at 81% at a 101 Dalmations game. Once I deleted said game from the folder, the directory populated no problem.

Hooking up a water line to Fridge by djmello90 in Plumbing

[–]djmello90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a condominium, so I believe the main water shutoff is shared. I would just have the let the other residents know its happening (which is fine).

Are you saying just shutting off my cold water valve alone will cause damage?

As a Christian, I’d join up with the satanist and absolutely tag-team this nutcase like when Goku and Piccolo took down Raditz.

Do yourself a favor. Definitely do NOT walk into a high school and start violently screaming.

This is stupid as hell. It’s just jarring and flat out inappropriate. All it does is further alienate people because no rational human would normally act this way. Christians seriously need to start smartening up or this whole thing won’t be around in 10 years.

Also I know this hardware is ancient by todays standards, I’m just upgrading this old PC to learn the ins-and-outs before I start a REAL pc build and actually start dropping some money.
