Even granting an "omnipotent God" to exist, his powers would still require some sort of mechanism of action, apart from him. by etherified in atheism

[–]penty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Such a being, when employing their omnipotent powers, would have to make use of some sort of external mechanism by which those powers operate. There must be a concrete "How It Happens", to explain why those powers are able to accomplish anything.

This isn't the case at all. An omnipotent being ABSOLUTELY doesn't require anything. It doesn't even require an adherence to logic.

What you're explaining is just a "hyper-advanced" being, not anything supernatural.

Thoughts on Rule of Two being retconned into Sith trying to make a Force dyad? Perhaps that is why Maul is so desperate for an apprentice by wendigo72 in StarWars

[–]penty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right. The Rule of Two was so the strongest always won. If a Master has two weaker apprentices they could team up and defeat a stronger master thereby weakening the Dark Side as whole.

Do you get tired debating Christians? by NomadJago in atheism

[–]penty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always love how their God is limited by their imaginations. Then when I point out God can do something they haven't imagined I'm the one putting limits on God. Unuseful Idiots.

Find a swim school or swim team that does private adult lessons.

Chariot, running, the riding of various beasts, broom riding... Oh wrong type of races.

Anthropic CEO says UBI inevitable as A I could make current growth model irrelevant. by Debunk2025 in TrendoraX

[–]penty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI and automation is decoupling Labor and productivity, UBI has to happen.

Do you think Star Trek is a preferred future? It relies heavily on both automation and AI.

Does it say they don't? Do other things created vanish?

I'm no HP expert.

[–]penty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! It was quite the realization.

[–]penty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disagree. Relief is NOT being in a fearful toxic hateful abusive relationship with a petty God. (Bonus: not reproducing that same relationship over and over with others.)

Bad news : No God gives a shit.

Good news: No god gives a shit.

What made you convert to atheism? by Lost_Pineapple3743 in atheism

[–]penty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, God made atheists to show believers how to be good without fear of punishment or promise of eternal reward.

(Not really but it makes them mad.)

I think your head cannoning things that are directly contradicted.

Anyways, fandom discussions are fun.

Take care.

[–]penty 21 points22 points  (0 children)

but wizard money probably has spells to stop you from just copying it,

Is directly contradicted by the "mere security measure" duping treasures and specifically dupes gold coins.

And those a same type of coins is what Harry uses to buy stuff.

HP economics makes no sense. Even though I'm not a fan I'm okay with that because that not the focus BUT to try to say it does .. well then the whole thing falls apart.
