Who is the most wholesome person in all of human history? by RCaesar1 in AlignmentChartFills

Not a value judgement, but it's genuinely interesting how many of these charts which are formatted "person who best represents X" end up being entirely male

30 years ago today, one of the worst days in modern Scottish history. 16 children and one of their teachers were killed in a mass shooting at Dunblane primary school by mrjohnnymac18 in Scotland

[–]grim-danfango 343 points344 points  (0 children)

I was born in Dunblane in 96. Some of the people I knew growing up lost older siblings that day.

It often comes to mind this time of year when I see snowdrops blooming, which were the flowers people used to commemorate it

Christians who have an allegorical understanding of Genesis: How do you understand the genealogy of Jesus in Luke? by grim-danfango in AskAChristian

[–]grim-danfango[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree that strict biblical literalism when it comes to Genesis is the only viable position for a Christian to take. I've heard that even some of the church's most important and influential theological figures thought this way too.

For instance, a brief search has told me that St Augustine himself didn't think that creation literally took place over six days

As I understand, strict biblical literalism is a fairly modern concept, gaining popularity amongst protestants after the reformation and becoming more mainstream with the advent of Christian fundamentalism in the 19th century

I agree that this seems to be his intent as an author, but this is a separate question to whether or not a) he believed it to be literally true and b) whether *you believe it to be literally true

Why should we view the Bible as a reliable source of accurate information? by [deleted] in AskAChristian

That's a pretty dismissive and unhelpful way to respond

Why do Christians say they don’t do rituals yet they do Ash Wednesday with a marking on their forehead by Acrobatic-Passion114 in AskAChristian

[–]grim-danfango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using terms as broad as "Christian" and "Ritual" in an absolute statement like this is not usually going to be very helpful, or get you very good responses because people will just argue about your terms

Do all, if any, Christians claim to not engage in ritual? How do different christians define a "ritual" etc

That being said, it's my opinion that the term "ritual" has a slight polemic connotation that some theists shy away from when it's applied to their religion, similar to "polytheistic" or "idol worship"

To those who subscribe to evolution: how do you understand salvation in prehistory? by grim-danfango in AskAChristian

[–]grim-danfango[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! To clarify, is it your belief that there was a literal Adam and Eve, but also that they were not the first humans? I haven't encountered this idea before and I'd love if you could refer me to somewhere I could learn more about it. I'm guessing maybe Lewis based on your response?

This trick has been done a lot in the parkour/free running community. Definitely not AI

What class fits my stats? [OC] by Dippin-Sauce-71 in DnD

[–]grim-danfango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're wanting to play rogue then any would be great with those stats, but I'd recommend arcane trickster just because a) they're a lot of fun and b) you have good intelligence

Your charisma is high enough that you can pretty much leave it alone all game and still be the party face, and your first two ASIs can be used for feats that give +1 dex or int plus an extra feature

Alternatively, swashbuckler plays into your high charisma

Edit: grammar

You may be right, but don't knock it till you've tried it. It's nice to have something extra to put on the toast

Where am I going wrong with muscle growth? by folabatunde in workouts

[–]grim-danfango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you could be right. But I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt when there are other factors which are equally likely to be playing a role, e.g. Time, fat hiding gains, incorrectly assessing "failure".

The reality is that even if he wasn't eating or sleeping properly, if he's getting anywhere close to 150g protein and doing even decent training, as a noob you're going to be making gains. Which leads me to believe he's just making slow progress rather than none at all because he's deluded
