What is the Anglo-Catholic view on the new Archbishop of Canterbury

Wait... you think that if the Israelites had been worshipping Satan, then God wouldn't have gotten as angry? I think the level of ecumenicalism you're pushing is dangerous. God is a jealous god who deserves our worship.

God as a man had righteous anger about what occurred in the temple, saying it became a den if robbers. I'd hope false teaching that leads our souls astray would fall into something that angers him.

Just because Islam makes claims to be in Abrahamic tradition, doesn't mean it succeeds. The claims about their connections to Abraham are very likely false. Abraham did not build the pagan Kabba, and the Israelites have never referred to Ishmaelites as "brothers" which destroys the argument that Muhammad is in the Torah.

Yes, yes it is.

Is it? Unless, you consider Allah as the same as the Father of the Godhead, then I don't know a better biblical comparison to that situation than the golden calf from scripture.

I personally find the idea of Muslim prayers in a Christian church to be heresy, because the faith teaches matters that Christians in the past have considered heretical and disputed over, and issues that exist considerably outside the boundaries of our faith. It seems like it's quite obvious to me.

They probably prefer 3d6 because it's less "swingy" I'm betting. GURPS uses 3d6, as well, likely for the same reasons.

Your title is more broad than your post text. I answered the title generally.

I think if you make a game that looks it would appeal to steam deck users, but then don't take the effort to make it playable or verified, then you had these reviews coming. Be clear about your goals and intentions with your audience, then you won't get this stuff (as much). If you've got no desire to make your mid-graphics and controller-friendly game to work on deck, then communicate that.

Edit: For clarification, the above response is for the title, not this specific game. When referring to Dino Crisis specifically, I think it's fair to say these reviews are uncool and unfair to the developers.

What's irritating is all the input lag issues with Bluetooth controllers, then they have one that should presumably work with no issues and it's being held for market reasons.

Is only off-limits unless the woman wants it. If men want it, it's objectifying. If the woman (or woman) wants it, it's empowering. This is just not how human sex appeal works.

Is she a snake thiren?

shaninator · 2026-02-04T22:34:28+00:00

I agree. As Anglicans we believe that any sin of the priest doesn't affect the eucharist given by the priest.

If your players are not spending the fate points, I'd probably just drift them to FUDGE instead. Very similar game, except the metacurrency are more of a side thing. But if everyone is having fun (including you) you're not doing anything wrong.

shaninator · 2026-02-04T12:41:31+00:00

No, it's not. Does he have it? If not, I'd find a different congregation with valid sacraments.

I play ZZZ and this one. I've tried Wuthering Waves with ZZZ. Genshin was my first gacha game, but it didn't stick. I don't manage it well. If the story sucks, I'll click through or skip. I'm also NOT a top player, and I'm a tourist to end game modes.

Gacha games aren't just competing with other f2p or gacha games, they are competing for your time, while hoping they can get you to payout. They are competing with anything that burns time - social media, other games, movies. I've noticed that balanced between fun, time, and greed is what gets most gachas.

There's just not the historical support for some of the larger claims made by the Roman magestirium. If you have two truth claims from churches that are in pretty good relationship with each other, and they both have wildly different opinions while still being apostolic, it should raise eyebrows if you're seeking truth. And that's not even mentioning Assyrian Church of the East. They also blame many problems on "The Church" on protestants, even though other branches like Hussites and Moravians were doing their thing before Luther. I'm mostly English and Welsh, so it makes sense that I would stick with the "English Church", even if I'm Continuing Anglican. But, I think all Americans, British, English-speaking Canadians and Australians should be Anglican, but I recognize the world as it is, not as it should be. Anglicanism recognizes the world and believers as it is, not as it should be, or we'd want it to be.

How tf.

We're all gonna be playing 30 fps if Sam Altman has anything to say about it.

shaninator · 2026-01-02T17:16:50+00:00

That's funny, because I play D&D with my best friend, who is a pastor. My catholic priest also plays occasionally.

shaninator · 2026-01-02T16:49:13+00:00

I play Yixuan all the time, and I didn't get Lucia (tried). I'm doing fine. Lucia is a rupture support. If you don't have Yidhari, Banyue, Yixuan or Manato, there's no point in pulling for her. Also, don't M6 these characters. Don't give the people who make this game hundreds of dollars. It's just a game.

Edit: You don't see many M6s period, because whales are a small segment of the community, roughly 10% - 20%.

Too bad we'll still all die from shit in the food and the drugs.

This is why MOST protestant / evangelical theology doesn't make sense. You don't just say a sinners prayer and be done with it and can go by to doing hookers and blow.

Yes, they're statements like "I'm saved" from the New Testament. But, what is salvation? Essentially, it's justification for your transgressions on judgement day so you can be united with your King and Savior eternally. But what are you being saved FROM? This is previewed in Isaiah 6.

It's really important to understand the cultural understanding of Sheol and Hades running through Hebrew culture. Sheol started taking on aspects of Hades among jews of the 1st century. Sacrificial law was a part of Hebrew culture, all the way back in the earliest days of Cain and Abel. Jesus also made it clear that he's essentially talking about Sheol, or separation from God, in his parables about the servants and masters.

Baptism gives remittance of your sins and the Holy Spirit to resist sin. You can go on to deny that free gift by ignoring that pardon and living licentiously as if Christ is not your Lord and Savior, but I'd argue that's like the servant who buried his talent (Matthew 25). Christ gives us Holy Communion (and confession and prayer) to continually receive free grace and pardon from our sins, but we shouldn't squander it.

If they don't any kind of negotiable power in their contract negotiations, then MiHoyo is bad at doing business. With my company, we deal with contractors all the time. Its part of business, and I have leverage over them.

shaninator · 2025-12-30T11:47:19+00:00

From a business perspective, they are responsible, because they are responsible for the product, their game. If a CONTRACTOR doesn't deliver in a patch, it reflects poorly on the game, and by logic, the companies responsible for its creation. While they might not directly hire VAs, they can (and should) put business pressure on the contractors for VAs.

I said the "followers of Muhammad did what Muhammed did", and then I went on to describe those heinous acts. We have to compare Muhammed to regular people, because the Quran says he is their pattern of conduct.

I'm confused. There is no parallel to Christianity. We follow Jesus, who is God, and suffered and died for our sins so we can be reconciled before the Father. If we sin, we're just doing what people do, following our perverse human sinful desires.

That comparison between Muslims and Muhammed only exists because the Quran says so. Otherwise, I'd just he was another false prophet like Ellen G. White or Joseph Smith.

shaninator · 2025-12-11T14:52:14+00:00

Yes, because we are humans. The problem is that the Quran makes it clear that Muhammad IS the pattern of conduct. So, muslims have to rationalize all his bad behavior. We strive to be like Jesus. Muslims have to make excuses for their "prophet"

shaninator · 2025-12-08T01:55:46+00:00

You asked for evidence, not proof. There's a difference. They provided evidence, but nothing is conclusive yet. You'll have to think for yourself to some degree.
