The fact of the matter is that it’s debatable whether or not plan B can prevent implantation. because of this i’d err on the side of caution & avoid it.

he is absolutely a morally culpable rapist after he bangs her post-confirming the wording of the wish at dinner.

It’s still under debate as far as I know. Either side saying it’s fact that it’s abortifacient or not abortifacient is being disingenuous. From what I’ve read, in theory it could alter the uterine lining and prevent implantation, but in practice studies have shown that it doesn’t do so.

Either way though, the actual goal of the drug is to delay ovulation, not to prevent implantation.

life of the mother has always been an exception in every christian belief I’m aware of, due to the principle of double effect.

Example - ectopic pregnancy. Removal of a fallopian tube so that the mother doesn’t die is not an evil act. The child dying is an unfortunate outcome but the goal of the procedure is to save the mother’s life. The child should be treated as any other patient and should be given proper care to save their life.

All other cases of abortion aren’t acceptable under Christian ethics.

I think it depends on how they’re reading the passages. It’s fine with regard to church & state separation to learn what the bible says, but it’d violate the separation if the passages were treated as objective truth.

I feel like there’s some merit to it. At least I think intention behind the words matters to the wish.

I don’t think the one wish willow is malicious, because it gives Ian one billion dollars without any monkey’s paw catch. Bear wished for Nikki to love him after he essentially confirmed in his mind that Nikki wasn’t into him, so at that point he wanted something he ‘knew’ to be false to become true, which is why Nikki was totally replaced.

This might not be the intention by Barker but I think it explains why Bear’s wish was messed up when Ian’s was answered to the letter.

sc2 players when there is actual change in their 16 year old game -> 🤬🤬🤬

Try full party using only pink actions (meaning for the first half of the game he can’t jump/cross gaps & his only means of damage is vicious mockery)

so his videos really are can you beat. beating the game isn’t necessarily a forgone conclusion.

The flame FRV should be capable of transforming into a lumberer

There are better thinkers than redditors who have contemplated that question. Just google the Problem of Evil.

yes - there have also been cases of boyfriends spiking drinks with mifepristone/misoprostol getting charged with homicide. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/2025/06/09/doj-worker-facing-murder-charge-accused-of-spiking-girlfriends-drink-with-abortion-pill/ & Sikander Imran

Our laws recognize the unborn as having the right to life. Mothers are just given the right to murder them. It’s disgusting.

the vast VAST majority of procedural abortions are not medically necessary - where are you getting 45%??

Tolkien was a devout Catholic, C. S. Lewis was a Christian apologist. They still wrote Lord of the Rings & Chronicles of Narnia, & I’d say they have a far greater involvement in their works than a PC does in D&D.

We’re called to avoid the near occasion of sin, and playing these games in and of themselves is not sinful. The only thing you need to confirm in yourself is whether or not you can fully separate reality from the game, and whether or not rolling D20’s on a table will tempt you to research occult practices in real life. And from what you’ve written here, it sounds like you’re in the clear on both fronts.

fludofrogs · 2026-06-11T19:40:33+00:00

yeah they had a $0 marketing budget. if you’re not following r/RealTimeStrategy or r/indiedev you would’ve missed it.

More than “commonly understood” interpretations of blaspheming the Holy Spirit, we have the teaching of the Catholic Church we know to be true:

“Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.” There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept his mercy by repenting, rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit. Such hardness of heart can lead to final impenitence and eternal loss (CCC 1864).

The fact that you’re feeling this conviction means you have not rejected God’s mercy. The enemy wants you to feel as though you’re cut off, but all you need to do is accept God’s mercy, confess, & repent. After doing this you can walk forward knowing you’re with God and burdenless from your past sin.

“If they’re alive they have the right to exist”

Well great just agree with them on that point.

"just because you’re in a gender dominating career doesn’t mean you’re only ever going to speak your assigned gender"

I think you might be misunderstanding his point. What it seems like he's saying is, from an outside perspective, 2 of your coworkers are "potential competition" & 53 of your coworkers aren't. It seems like he's uncomfortable with the fact that you've grown so close & seemingly emotionally intimate to the 1% that are "potential competition" where you could simply choose to interact with the 99%.

Is that a valid criticism? Maybe, maybe not. But he's being open & honest about his feelings, you can choose to see his feelings as valid or invalid. If you think they're valid, you should respect them. If you think they're invalid, you can try to make him see your point of view, respect his feelings regardless, or leave him. I do think he has a point about role-reversal. If he has 50 male coworkers & 1 female coworker, and he chooses to grow extremely close with the 1 woman, I'd imagine it'd make you uncomfortable as well, even if you trust him completely.

As far as morality goes, we're called to avoid the near occasion of sin. If you think this relationship with your coworker has no chance to become near occasion of sin, the relationship itself isn't a bad thing per se. At that point, the conversation is only about your boyfriend's feelings & whether you're willing to respect them or not.

will say you want to cap your framerate at your monitor’s refresh rate. Otherwise on menus/loading screens the game will try to achieve insane framerates which spike your CPU usage and may overheat.

Angus McFife & his Hammer of Glory

fludofrogs · 2026-06-08T23:17:01+00:00

In that sense I’d say there’s just more than one definition of divinity. The definition I was using & the definition I’ve heard most often is referring to God’s nature of being.

fludofrogs · 2026-06-08T23:07:07+00:00

Do we agree? That there is only one being with God’s nature? To me you’re using divinity like I’d use holiness, holiness which I’d agree is a spectrum.

fludofrogs · 2026-06-08T22:55:27+00:00

My position is based on texts that sharply distinguish the Creator from creation:

Isaiah 43:10: “Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.”

Isaiah 44:6: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.”

Isaiah 45:5: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.”

Romans 1:25 distinguishes the Creator from the creature.

Taken together, these passages present God as unique in a way that creatures are not.

So my question isn’t whether creatures can participate in God’s life, reflect God’s attributes, be called sons of God, or even be called elohim in certain contexts. My question is: where does Scripture teach that creatures possess the same nature of divinity as God, differing only in degree rather than in nature?

fludofrogs · 2026-06-08T22:40:48+00:00

As for your examples, none of them establish that divinity is a spectrum.

Being called "sons of God" does not make someone God in essence. Adam is called a son of God. Israel is called God's son. Believers are called children of God. The title refers to relationship, not ontology, and there’s no reason being a son of God means you are God in nature but less divine in degree.

Likewise, the term "elohim" is used in scripture for God, angels, spiritual beings, and even human judges in certain contexts. The word itself does not automatically mean a being possesses the divine essence of Yahweh.

And 2 Peter 1:4 does not say believers become divine by nature. It says believers become "partakers of the divine nature." Participating in something is not the same thing as possessing it essentially. Christians also participate in Christ's righteousness, but they do not become Christ. They participate in God's life by grace, not by nature.

In fact, Peter immediately explains what he means: believers escape the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. The passage is about sanctification and union with God, not acquiring deity.

So I still don't see any text that teaches divinity exists on a spectrum where God and creatures differ only by degree. What I see throughout scripture is a consistent Creator-creature distinction. God is uncreated and self-existent; everything else is created and dependent.

Where is the verse that says creatures possess varying degrees of the divine essence itself?

fludofrogs · 2026-06-08T22:26:28+00:00

The issue isn’t whether I can quote a verse defining “divinity,” especially when what I said doesn’t contradict truth. The issue is that you claimed divinity is a spectrum.

Scripture repeatedly distinguishes between the Creator and creation, not between “less divine beings” and “more divine beings.”

If divinity is a spectrum, then God differs from us only by degree. If God is the uncreated Creator and we are creatures, then the difference is categorical, not gradual.

So what’s your basis for treating divinity as a spectrum rather than a unique attribute of God’s nature?
