  1. I can try to check. Edit: for what it's worth, social media tells me he is still there.
  2. Many are calling it just that... Or the worst since Crash.
  3. Dialogue isn't necessarily just to listen to, it can be a gameplay loop of its own. Planescape: Torment is the egregious example.
  4. https://twitter.com/revrrlewis/status/1098700066150334465 AOC has Guard Dog's vote locked, it seems.
  5. This could go here on in the funny things thread. Watch out for the language, and enjoy Carlson make a fool of himself:
  6. So Judas died from hanging and fell headlong from that hanging position. That's some impressive gymnastics, especially coming from a dead man. Or perhaps it's the mental gymnastics that are impressive. Also, that doesn't address in any way the money issue.
  7. ^My Google grab for the night from some former atheist site. After applying some zoom to that passage, it appears that it says nothing at all. Here ya go, in any case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_consistency_of_the_Bible
  8. 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 abd have a question and then see an answer a thousand pages later. Are you kidding? The bible is filled with contractions, especially between the old testament and the new.
  9. Perfect summation of why cats are better than dogs.
  10. People assume that? seen some stuff like that, I mean I seen a lot of them saying he was comunist or socialist, seen few about anarchist as well Well, the notion that he was any of those things is dumb, of course. What one can say, though, is that Jesus' morals, as set out in the gospels, fit quite nicely with communist and socialist ideals. The largely American phenomenon where capitalism is morally attached at the hip to Christianity is, obviously, patently ridiculous. This is nothing new, though. Supply side Jesus was a great comic. Personally, I've always thought Marxist rejection of religion was a huge mistake, at least from a "marketing" perspective. And what about all that '"Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's'. Really not fit that much That is kind of contentious in interpretation but, do you mean separating church and state and putting the law of God above the law of man doesn't fit with communism? I dont think its about separation of church at all, as at that time there was no church to talk about. And Rome at that time was senate ruled republic (well, kinda ) in sea of feudal kingdoms. I am pretty sure that commies called religion 'opium of humanity' so that really does not click either, I can see why people would kinda see him as socialist but I am not sure if he ever talked about 'politics' or how society should be structured, only on personal level Yes that's what I meant when I said I thought marxist rejection of religion was a "marketing" failure. If we're going to take that tack regarding what Jesus thought at the time, in my opinion it's pretty clear that he was just being a smartass and rules lawyering around the question, which was basically a thinly veiled attempt at entrapment.
  11. 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. According to John, Jesus used a whip in the cleansing of the temple. The word politician is weird though.

  13. Well, tables were flipped and he had a whip on him. I don't think I've ever seen specified who he whipped.

  15. 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. It's a summation of some things Jesus actually did. If the gospels are to be trusted, anyway.
  16. Without electoral reform third party candidates in the US will never be anything other than, at most, a spoiler in the elections. Most likely even just that is pretty much impossible.
  17. She has nice hips. "Pretty much" isn't the same "literally".
  18. Well, the Ayatollahs screwed up a whole lot more than just football... No kidding. I guess I should have asked if the Ayatollahs also screwed up football in Iran, in addition to everything else.
  19. At least this makes clear you seem to be pretty much always wrong.
  20. Which is another way of saying that way too many people took it seriously.
  21. If everything is going well I do nothing. If everything is pear shaped I have to fix it.
  22. 40 years? Did the Ayatollahs screw up football's development in Iran? Are you guys happy with Queiroz?
  23. Surprisingly, despite the name and association, BuzzfeedNews is a proper news organisation, these days.
