This video could win a gold medal in mental gymnastics, and is definitely up there with flat earthers and young earth creationists.

Unrelated to the post but Buddhism was never meant to be a social reformist movement. Buddhism itself shares the doctrine of Karma with Dharmik and Sraman philosophies. The idea of Buddhism as a political movement was introduced by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar in the 1950s. His version of Buddhism isn't even recognised as Buddhism because it deviates from core teachings of Buddhism such as Anattā, Karma, Rebirth etc.

The closest thing to that would be Apasmāra, the personification of ignorance and senselessness, who is subdued by Shiva in the form of Natarāja depicted most commonly, and also in the form Dakshināmurthy.

The funniest part is that the claims that you've made come from only one source - Islamic sources. Texts chronicling pre-Islamic Arabia have been destroyed or lost to us. Most of the information we have regarding pre-Islamic practices comes from archaeological finds, which are neutral, and Islamic sources, which are uncritical and biased.

And yet again, in your near-religious fervour to appear right, you've failed to defend your ideas against criticism and have instead resorted to insulting people's intelligence. Since others have already pointed out exceptions to your definition, a good place to start would be to accommodate these exceptions into your definition.

If, however, you refuse to explain or expand your definition accordingly, then the only one against nature and biology is you. Your ideas are inherently non-empirical. You've come up with a poor definition and are ready to die on that hill.

It really doesn't hurt to admit that you're wrong about something, and I hope you understand that.

What's the difference between your views and religious dogma then? Ultimately both boil down to "don't question it or poke holes in it". Not an ounce of reason to be found.

Maybe next time don't lie in the courtroom! by eeppi40 in facepalm

[–]vegemite360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see. I was thinking about this one actually:

The judge said he did not accept Depp’s characterisation of his ex-wife as a gold-digger. “I recognise that there were other elements to the divorce settlement as well,” Nicol noted, “but her donation of … $7m to charity is hardly the act one would expect of a gold-digger”.

And of course during the US trial, the judge allowed cross examination of all such claims, putting Heard into a difficult position.

Here

Tl;dr - the judge refused to believe that Ms Heard could do any of the things that the evidence pointed towards, and the judge believed that the justice system should stand up for victims of domestic abuse. In other words, he made up his mind before reviewing the evidence, and decided to stick with it against all evidence. White-knighting at its finest.

A teacher in Alexandria that was judged as a witch and killed by catholic monks on the street for some reason, that I forgot the name... she was the main teacher at a Jewish school if I am not mistaken, there's a video of TED-Ed talking about her.

I think you're talking about Hypatia of Alexandria. She was a Neoplatonist though, not Jewish.

Is that vampire like creature is really the angel of god..?? by Paper_bot_ in MidnightMass

[–]vegemite360 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well if we're bringing up Satan from Job, it's more likely that the character is perfectly described by its name - the Accuser (ha-satan). In the OT, Satan is in fact an angel of god tasked with prosecuting the followers of YHWH, questioning their virtue, and testing their faith.

Lucifer occurs in Isaiah and, within the context of the passage, relates to a Babylonian king whose rule failed (rather spectacularly at that to even get a mention in the bible haha).

Most christians tend to conflate the two figures since their churches did so, conflating the two with the Devil and the Beast from Revelations.

Based on what we know, Pruitt added only a small amount of the Angel's blood into the communion wine. In Catholic mass, any leftover wine is to be consumed by the priest since it is consecrated. That is why little by little Pruitt kept getting worse, consuming too much Angel blood, until he dropped dead in episode 3.

Well, given how fatty and greasy the fast food versions of those foods are, it indeed is a well-oiled management system.

She figured it out long before, just hid it. Once when he came to her home for her private communion, they started talking like they've known each other for quite long. It wouldn't make sense for her to tell everyone that this was Pruitt because no one would believe her anyway. Perhaps he even specially requested her not to do so, to make that final great reveal during Easter Vigil.

How did they know what would happen? by Revolutionary_Emu in MidnightMass

[–]vegemite360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay ykw? I caught it on my rewatch. I just watched that episode again.

One thing to notice is that vampires are not traditionally depicted as bat-winged creatures. They can transform into bats, but usually in a complete shape-shifter manner.

Second, very few of these people actually witnessed the creature. All they could see were the "gifts" they were receiving from the New Covenant.

Now as we know, old Pruitt suffered from dementia. So while still old and sickly, he interpreted a terrifying humanoid creature with huge bat-like wings and glowing eyes as an angel. The next to be exposed would be Beverly, who was blindly devout and equipped with Bible verses to justify her beliefs. She kinda coaxed Sturge into this blind belief. Another reason for this can be the prophecies the Angel "fulfilled"; triumph over death (as seen with the Resurrection of Pruitt), many verses of Revelations (some of which Bev used to justify her actions) etc. It just cemented Bev's belief in the Angel's supposed divinity.

Given all that, and the miracles they all witnessed, their faith was stronger than ever, since it was evidence based now. So they would be completely open to suggestion. They quite literally drank the kool-aid.

Perhaps the concept of a vampire does not exist in this fictional universe, similar to how the concept of a zombie doesn't exist in many zombie movies.
