  1. ...and the earth is flat, right?Oh you're one of those flat earthers? Strange, I've never met one.There are only two types of people who believe carbon dating is mental gymnastics: Young earth creationists and flat earthers. So, which one are you? Oh, I like you! Tbh, I lean more toward young earth creationist. I feel like the more scientific data we get, the more younger the earth gets.
  2. ...and the earth is flat, right?Wjatever you want to believe, I'll always believe the earth is round but WHAT IF some scientific evidence suggested that the earth is flat and gravitational pull bith allowed us and tricked us into thinking the earth was round. That would be something, wouldn't it?
  3. Behold, I just happen to be a lisenced Dream interpreter! The cat: A person in need. You are a helper at heart, compassionate, caring and ultimately a lover. The drugs: Cats are like an addiction to you, you couldnt resist helping them if you tried. They are your weakness but supporr your strength as an individual. The plant/plants: You are subconsciously on a mission to help others. The origin roots deeply within your childhood, meaning you have had this kind heart for many years - nothing can uproot this devotion in you.
  4. I almost picked it up but my experience with the Outcast remaster made me change my mind. I would also recommend avoiding Outcast: Second Contact unless it's like your favorite game in the world... for the same reasons.
  5. I googled it, I was relieved to learn that it's pretty common. I found out it's called "double dreaming", not to be confused with "false awakening" which causes anxiety and confusion.
  6. I'd love a game all about Ciri. I also wouldn't mind if someone like CDPR took a stab at doing a racing rpg.
  7. Sometimes I have dreams within dreams. I wake up from a dream within a dream but I'm still dreaming. Weird.
  8. Deadly Class just get better and better
  9. Tbh, we've seen stranger gymnastics in deaths on 1,000 Ways To Die though, and even more imprssive mental gymnastics in "proven" science in things such as carbon dating (the facts change and are constantly updated based on progression in technology).
  10. Sorry guys, I'm using small size to save space on thread Here is something you may like - up to you if you choose to believe it or not. Here is the interestimg part though...or at least to me. Warning, it's about to get bloody! What is the thrilling conclusion of the article? Is there some science to the Bible?? I find this reminds me of a police interrogation works - I don't know why, but I do know that in police interrogations, if they're to question 2 or more individuals and the story is the same then it means the individuals pre-meditated or planned for everything to be the same but if the stories don't match then the police deem it as more believable (we've all heard of this). Why is it so? I can only assume it's like as the article states - two different viewpoints from very different individuals with different backgrounds. Apology again for smallest font.
  11. Of course, one has to understand that when Jesus was crucified, things changed. Alot of things became opposite. That should have been expected as a prophecy would be fufilled. That's probably why the old testemant is separated from the new as well. Here, this explains what I'm trying to say better than I can: ^My Google grab for the night from some former atheist site.
  12. And I'd ask you to point out those contradictions and agendas (not to argue but just to know where you're coming from out of curiosity) but I think we both know you're not going to answer that and that's fine by me. As I said before, many non-Christians view things they don't understand as contradiction, displacement or something other than believable. The Bible is interesting because you may read one thing and have a question and then see an answer a thousand pages later.
  13. I beg to differ, it takes alot of years to fully understand and realize the concept of the basic Christian Bible idea really is. That's why they have colleges for this type of things. Schools with years of training. Anyone can say "It's easy, watch me Google and 1, 2, 3... Done!" But if you're talking with someone that grew up in church and in a faith-driven family, then it's going to be easily proven that it's not so. If it were that easy then there wouldn't be any need for churches or colleges on Christian theology with 3 year classes on Salvation which span from the gospels to Revelations. Yes, I am aware that Jesus said this in thr parable of the good samaritan but this isn't the only parable and this isn't the only lesson. You're zero-ing on only one thing and discarding the others, this is exactly what happens when someone DOESN'T know the Bible but wants to make one point. I mean no disrespect here. And while I do agree with those 3 principles there lies a largley in-depth review into them that must be had in order to gain the whole picture. For ex., You should look at these scriptures as well, Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." -14:6 https://biblehub.com/john/14-6.htm And "I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God."-Luke 12:8 What does all that mean? It means that there are more things here that you need to take in order to get the whole picture. Why else would he say "You need to publically announce that I, the son of God, am God in order to be saved" if all you had to do was love God and love thy neighbor. You guessed it, because that was only a piece of the teaching. It's not as simple as one would think, these are very complex if you don't know what's going on. Alot of people who can't grasp the concept of this get angry and claim that Jesus contradicted himself but that's because they aren't observant enough to see Jesus' teachings as a series, instead they grab whatever they want for a one time thing. It's common. Those weren't snark comments that Jesus threw at Thomas, you have to do more research and actually read if you want to gain real insight, Google is not helping you today, that much is clear. Thomas was a skeptic, claiming to be a believer but then doubting and misleading others, he was in danger of causing a fall in others at one point. When Jesus appeared to him, Thomas literally didn't believe anything Jesus told him until Thomas felt him. Goes to show that some people just don't get something they can't touch. There was nothing snarky about the approach that Jesus used. I'm guessing you do not know that Peter denied Christ 3 times before selling him out to his enemies for sheckles, BUT he was a disciple too. Was Jesus ever snarky to him? No? No, He wasn't, if Jesus wasn't snarky towards Peter - the guy that turned him in, then why would he be to a guy that only doubted? Doesn't make much sense. I'll tell you why, Jesus knew exactly who His followers were, He even called out Peter 3 days before he did what he did. There was no bitterness there, there was no negativity or resentment, and if there was dontcha think He would have punoshed them in public to make an example? He never did. Jesus bashed the pharisees and that's about it and that was only because they dishonored the house of Worship while in a high position. Very different circumstances but still no snide comments, just a righteous anger. But just for the heck of it, where are these comments you are speaking of, I'm curious. Then go on, do explain, how exactly is it hard for people to get along? Maturity should be easy for adults to obtain and give a appropriate mutual respect to one another, yes? Though in "today's" standard, I can see how politics divides these "mature" adults and causes some form of bitterness or strife. Sure one could say "If everyone would love God their neighbors, then we would be peachy" in order to appear smarter and make some sarcastic but while that's an easy scapegoat, it's unrealistic, there will always be wars - people who love each other and love and fear God at the same time CAN be at war and killing each other. If you're talking about history then you should remember a little thing called The American Civil War where Christian families fought against each other seperated due to nothing but location with nothing they could do but kill or be killed? There are plenty of wars like this. And then if you're talking about things like school shootings then mental illnesses and other factors are to blame, they are people not in sound mind. For terrorists, they are religious sects that are cult-mind behaviors. Yes, history repeats itself that it easy to love God and love thy neighbor but other factors make it appear as other than. As you did. NARF!
  14. I don't care for BR games personally, they do seem higher quality but I think they are to the new generation what Arena Shooters were back then but at least Battle Royale can be interesting to watch lol Just not really the type of game I'd spend my time on. I suspect that like Arena Shooters, BR is just a fad genre, it will be over and replaced by a new type of fps in time. And like Arena Shooters, we'll say "Good riddance!" And we'll probably complain with whatever they'll replace ot with next
  15. And I know Jesus from the Christian Bible would never say this part because it sounds arrogant and unhumble lol : Tbh, That sounds a bit more like today's feely-good Joel Olsteen type of message, if it was truly so then sadly the actor is kinda inaccurate because so much of Jesus' message is left out. The whole point of Jesus was to show the world that God sent His son to die for man, so our sins would be no more. It's easy to love God and love your neghbor but the hard part os accepting that you are a sinner, that there is a heaven and hell and that you're going to be judged for your actions. Also parables about faith and what not. Those are all crucial to Jesus' message as well. I wish it were easier like the actor allegedly portrays and that "love God and your neghbor" was the only point but there wouldn't had been any need for Jesus scolding pharisees, healing the sick, flipping tables, dying on the cross and ressurecting if it were true. I mean, I get that it's simplified but the bad thing about simplifying to a non-Christian who is curious is that it beckons alot of question and misinterpretation, on the other hand going too much into it turns off people as it can get confusing to a non-believer. There's much more to it as any religion can say "Love God, love your neghbor... That's it!" That will never be the case here. It goes to show how easy media can manipulate the Christian Bible, just as any American cult seeking to either zero in on one thing and discard the rest or add to it how they see fit. It's dangerous because even if they mean bo harm, it can completely change things and mislead the people it intends to reaxh out to. Was the 60 Minutes interview an emtertainment piece?
  16. Roman Catholicism church structure was all about higher politics, control by manipulation as well as invasion of privacy through invoking law with subtle breach in privacy. We don't even fully understand it today but it wasn't until Roman law came in to play in which the church required a tax of money to Ceasar's empire through the church. Want to use the city's library? "Render unto Ceasar what is already his". Want to use the monetary for prayer or worship? Pay unto the church (which gives to Ceasar and the deacons in house for profit). It wasn't an offering of good will but rather tax-based admission through manipulation, quite different from what the American church has done today - Christian churches don't force payment but there are some who feel guilty for not giving and those are often the people who accuse the smaller churches of being all about money. Thankfully, there is no "Pay for your salvation" & "Pay for your sins" today as there was back then. Was Jesus a rebel? Why yes, He was. Anarchist? (Anarchy being a state in which the person defies authority or persons in authority). Well, Jesus only served God, He did so because this is what scriptures saud to do. It's funny because we see people like Governor Herod or Pharoh Ramses in the Bible who serve their own version of god but also, contradictorally demand worship to themselves. This was a false mindset that was never meant to exist but power of course, crept in. Brethren, ask yourselves when did leadership demand worship? So then, Jesus was to restore what should have been in the first place - though I can understand how the Galileans saw it as anarchy since they were only taught ine thing from birth. Superstition and tradition has always had some weird affect on the church, we can see that. But is it really Anarchy to restore the original law just because of age/location? Precisely why Jesus say "Render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar" to new law but kept the old law sacred, he wasn't after changing society as a whole, only to drive politics out of the church and it worked. Though church is often still in politics today, if course. Also, I should be reminded as well as all of you that Jesus never broke Roman law or underminded Roman authority. We see this when he was judged by Roman law. Pontias Pilate says: "What law has this man broken?". This,is indeed an interesting study... https://factsandtrends.net/2018/07/13/did-jesus-break-the-law/ The law, even in it's secretly non-Catholic roots, found no fault in Jesus misleading people or as a danger in public whether to society, the church or politics because he was only there to restore order. However, the people who didn't understand, went into chaos and traded Jesus in for Barabbas. Sounds like something that would happen today lol
  17. That's why as a Christian, we are taught to be very careful where we get our teachings and who to trust. For example, What I hate now us that we have Christian youtubers who aren't even Christians but are representing the Christian church to make a dollar and don't even teach the right thing. They'll make videos about how some celebrity is fake or someone is in the illuminate, then those Christian youtubers get exposed later for being involved in the very sin they preach against. Anyone can claim "This church did this, these Christians did that" without proof and Anerican Christians are often accused of doing anything for a buck, what the non-Christian won't talk about is the good church that does things right but instead will discard them as there is actually a positive thing to say. As far as the "official statement" goes though, Did Jesus drink all the wine? Were we there to see it? Would Jesus get drunk foolishly if he was to carry out a specific plan? What dies your Bible say? (Assuming people have one). Oh yes, it says "Drink in moderation". https://www.openbible.info/topics/drinking_in_moderation Most non-Christians assume that Jesus had some type of sexual relationship with Mary and that He and his disciples engaged in orgies but that actually originated from a Christian sect/cult who added on to the Christian Bible, why? You guessed it, to permit them in orgies without guilt. We see this time and time throughout the years. David Koresh did a bit of this as well, it's why when people heard his radio sermon, they viewed it as a joke. Was Jesus really an anarchist? Would Jesus portray the opposite of what He was sent to represent? Wouldn't make much sense. https://reluctant-messenger.com/The-Anarchist.htm Sad, isn't it? The biggest question if all is, is Religion just some facade in a desperate attempt to control peoples' life-styles, moral choice, politics? I was playing Assassin's Creed: Odyseey and noticed how this is actually the broad theme of the game itself. The cultists twisted everything to benefit their own will. I love the game exposes it but in order to fully understand it, you'd had to have some religious background because most will think it's religion in general when it's not. It's non-religious people who use religion, they never have respevt for the religion they manipulate after all. This isn't any different of why the pharisees in the Bible were using the church to make money and mass manipulation. Christianity was never designed to do this (hence why the Bible instructs not to treat Christianity as a religion but a relationship with God). Jesus stood against the pharisees and his own house of prayer because He knew it was corrupt. Sadly, there will always be people out there who try to corrupt it and damage Christianity and it's reputation further.
  18. I was just going to post this.. https://comicbook.com/marvel/2019/02/18/the-punisher-canceled-netflix-jon-bernthal/ I already comsidered them cancelled long ago. This will most likely be the last season of Jessica Jones. Disney won't be picking them up but I'm hoping for some new live action shows with the same characters (different actors/acreesses).
  19. Favoritism and commercialized bias. It's cool to love Star Wars because it's well, Star Wars - a popular franchise that has had horrid writing since the very first movie. It's cool to hate Alita because well, it's an adaptation - therefore people automatically assume it's horrible. I have no doubt they probably did anything but watch the movie to give it a fair chance. I agree that the movie deserve somewhere in the 90's. I don't care wgat anyone says, it's a great movie.
  20. If the meme is being serious, one can only assume that the creator was reading out of a cultic Bible, one if those Bibles which are somehow edited by a modern author that changes some things. Since there are quite a few of these, there's no way of knowing what brand of kool-aid.
  21. It's looking better but we expected this!
  22. Mr. Grizzly pampers Tabby Cat for the day!
  23. You mean like nobody said that popularity equals IQ? You should stop the guessing, you are pretty terrible at it. You mean when I was joking? But even so, how do you get me saying popularity equals IQ and get popularity equals success and wealth? I have to guess because as usual, you make things up as you reply randomly to comments I make. I did, as a joke. I didn't say anyone else did.
  24. I'm taking this as sarcasm? It sounds more someone trying too hard or at least exaggeration of the Christ-like general idea lol Though it would have been much catchy if the person put "What would Jesus do?" At the end.
