  • This is actually brought up in the bible, oddly enough:

    And the people stood by, watching; but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiahc of God, his chosen one!” The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine, and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” There was also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.”

  • This, but unironically, Jesus was essentially mocked by the cops on the cross. So this type of behavior was covered rather clearly and counter indicated.

    Two others also, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." And they cast lots to divide his clothing.

  • I recommend taking any means necessary.

  • I'd be walking on my air if I had video proof of insulting trump, him hearing it and understanding it, it making him mad, and him reacting poorly, directly to me. What a plum.

  • Everything, literally everything is "for show". Civilization is just a construct we've all (more or less) agreed upon. It still matters.

  • I know a guy who got served a hot pocket under ravioli while in jail. He said it was pretty good. He was a sushi chef.

  • You seem pretty emotionally invested, so I will recommend that as I am not particularly invested, if it is easier for you, I give you total freedom to ignore my individual opinion. I'm just one man, feel free to ignore me. But what I've quoted is primarily direct quotes from Jesus (per the bible), or taken from Exodus, which is about as foundational as it gets Christianity wise.

    I agree that the bible is a poor source of clarity. It is all over the map as far as rules, and not very consistent. But I'm not talking apocryphy here, I'm talking straight up 10 commandments shit. The core "do unto others", and "don't be greedy", and "be grateful", stuff that the whole thing is supposed to be based on.

    I think ultimately we are arguing the same thing: That there is something to justify anything within the labyrinthian maze that is biblical logic. But where we diverge is that you are willing to call anyone who claims to be Christian, Christian. And I'm trying to highlight how an overwhelming majority of Christians are anything but.

    My original point is that the brown shirt, class traitor, gestapo, murderer "christian" is just about as Christian as the king asshole there in the white house: ie, not at all. I'm attempting to call attention to the painfully paradoxical relationship between those who call themselves Christians and their estimation of the importance of things such as compassion, charity, humility, simplicity, community, and introspection.

  • I actually am seriously claiming that the Spanish conquistadors were not Christian. As enslaving, oppressing, and getting rich, are counter indicated by the bible. The inconsistency is not mine, it is the "followers" of the bible.

  • With all the feeding and clothing the poor, and the

    Whoever kidnaps a person, whether that person has been sold or is still held in possession, shall be put to death.

    And the

    You shall not oppress a resident alien; you know the heart of an alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

    And the

    Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

    I would argue a true Christian would be considered part of the "radical left" and that conservativism is an anathema to chistianity.

  • Well in the movie he has super powers, so his vision no longer needs correction. So his own glasses actually are detrimental to his vision. It doesn't make perfect sense, but that's what's depicted. Typically people do not honor this relationship, but OP did, which I find heartening.

  • The successor to the b2 is almost even owlier.

  • Kudos for getting the relationship of the glasses correct.

  • The leading cause of death for Roman Emperors, and most rulers throughout history, was violent death, primarily assassination or execution, followed by suicide...

    You know, maybe we should consider this option more thoroughly.

  • Yes, whenever I'm selecting a location to shoot a bunch of people I always prefer one that's vacant.

  • Reminds me of the criterion cover for Meantime.
