Guys like you have existed since before Jesus even came along. Christianity is always going to appear to have chinks in its armor to people who want it to have chinks in its armor.

The basic premise hasn't changed. People are sinners and God offers a way out.

Christianity is crazy sometimes. Jesus obviously turned water into wine, yet we have Southern Baptist churches that will swear on a stack of Bibles that drinking is a sin.

I guess they ran out of 90s movies, now they're moving onto games. Maybe in a few years we'll be getting a Fresh Prince reboot along with other shows I can't for the life of me remember the names of.

Married with Children reboot?

I promise this isn't meant in jest, but who do who phone if you didn't expect to ever get in trouble with the police? I might need a lawyer someday, but it's not something I expect to happen. What do you do if an arrest takes you totally by surprise?

Funny you should mention that. Did you know that a distributed computing hobby and a drug farm can look exactly the same under infra-red? Haven't had it happen to be personally, but I can assure you it's no fun to have a SWAT team bust in simply because you're trying to find a bigass prime number.

Sandboxing a sandbox game? Play it in a sandbox and it's a sandbox tri-fecta. Sandboxes all the way down.

How does someone's beliefs influence whether or not there's a hell? Do human beings have a superpower I'm not aware of? Can I make my broccoli taste like chocolate by simply believing hard enough?

Your beliefs don't change reality, they just change how you respond to reality.

Wait, we can decide which morality system judges us? Wouldn't that mean that only conceited people get saved and the humble would suffer eternal damnation?

What about the fact that an action movie with a hundred murders generates about a hundredth the outrage of a triple X porno? How does that make sense?

Which is worse, a hell, or a heaven that doesn't meet with your approval?

(that's a general question, it's not specifically aimed at Limekiller42)

Obviously, it would suck if you only had the one train, but what if it worked like a highway and trains could get on and off? So you could have multiple trains sharing the same track.

And, yes, I know, people think it wouldn't be in vacuum anymore, but pumping out air could simply be an intermediate step after people are already on the train, like waiting on a runway for a plane to actually take off.

But when you invest in gold, you're trying to avoid the huge ups and downs of the stock market. Correct me here, but gold value tends to increase in a recession and decrease in a boon, and in a boon you can simply get a job to recoup the losses. To me, it's a choice of being safe or _possibly_ rich.

But I have schizophrenia and live with my parents, so it's sort of a moot point. :)

Inflation is bad when it's caused by people because those people then have power over you. What gives you the right to decide someone's money should lose value simply because they want to sit on it and not invest it?

So you're saying there was no economic growth back when everything was either bartered or money was precious metals? That's so fallacious I'm not even going to bother trying to Google proof.

Currency exists so that powerful people can fuck with you. Period. If it's not backed by gold or something else, but simply on someone's reputation it doesn't deserve to be trusted.

Bias and objectivity are very similar. Objectivity is simply approved of bias.

It's like prejudice, we have to have prejudice to survive but it can get out of hand. People say prejudice is wrong, but if someone decided to make a fashion statement by wearing a cloth stocking over their head, there aren't a lot of people that would approve.
