It’s one of the things I’ve bounced off of many times, but each time I come back and give it another shot it gets a bit easier until one day I thought, hey this isn’t as bad as I used to think. Not really a ringing endorsement, but I definitely don’t hate it anymore. I would still rather do as much as I possibly can in Krita though.
He looked at me. And I looked at him. And he looked at me. And I looked at him. And he says what did you want again?
Dante’s Inferno went into detail that was not biblical, but there’s enough in the bible that writing it off completely is cherry picking.
“They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
"And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
“And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”
Because there is no downside
Sure, unless you care about LGBT+ people not being discriminated against and murdered. And unless you care about teaching strong critical thinking to avoid conspiracies including anti-vax. And unless you care about the future of the planet in the face of climate change which is largely ignored by religious people who are more focused on the next life than this one. And unless, and unless, and unless…
There are tons of downsides.
As the only way in which the human condition can be contextualised is in a world that is created, and religions are the keepers of that knowledge.
Yeah no, we can contextualize with rational thought, it’s just that more work needs to be done that has historically been stifled by religion considering they have historically killed people who didn’t go along with them. Religions don’t have some monopoly on knowledge in this field, what they have is some shit they just made up, some of which works, and a lot of which doesn’t. But they have no methodology by which to test which parts work and which don’t so they just push all of them regardless.
That’s what they said… they said they had bad feet from years of wearing those shitty shoes.
The fact that you don’t understand that you’re NOT saying the same thing… is pretty sad. Not sure if it’s because you have poor reading comprehension or that you’re just so clearly emotionally invested in this that you can’t see it clearly, but either way, it’s pretty sad.
They’re probably the same demographic in some ways in that they’re right wing and Trump supporters, they’re just in the upper echelon of the grifters not the grifted.
Depends on the incline, too steep and you can start slipping
Smolitov’s! D’awww! The revolution will be cutified!
Because otherwise it might seem weird to offer people an egg for trying times
Movie makers figured out a formula that maximizes their return on investment, but to me that has limited the depth and variability between movies these days. In other words some of the best and most interesting movies I’ve watched came from the 90s where those movies did poorly in the box office.
You’re defeating your own point. You’re basically saying the same thing that happened then ( a bunch of crap made, but among the crap was some golden treasures you had to find) is happening now, but you’re complaining about it happening now and not then.
Take off your rose glasses. There has always been crap shovelled at us and if you wade through the crap you can find some real gems. It’s not different now, you are.
Oh no! Is the company that makes 70b per quarter and is buying back 70b of shares to keep making more in trouble of only making 80b per quarter next year and not 100b? Poor babies.
Privacy compromised!
I don’t think you know what “meme” means… it doesn’t mean “thing that gets posted once and never again” actually it means the exact opposite
