"It aged better than your Jussie Smollet thread."
Ouch. lol

A lot of people want to fit everyone in their neat little boxes with perfect little labels. It's not your fault they can't wrap their heads around anything that isn't group think. Also, as a funny little side-note, UV denies me my own nationality, so it seems to be a pattern.
Didn't Fury say that Robert Redford's character was responsible for his eye (in Winter Soldier)? I could be wrong, though.
"How would it be possible for man to "abuse" free will, when free will is supposed to be we can do whatever we want? If it turns out we're not allowed to anyway, what's the point of free will?"
The point of free will, in my humble opinion, is the right to choose.
"how is it possible to act according to free will except via our nature? And who created our nature? Who gave men an overdose of testosterone? People don't break rules unless they want to, so why make them want to?"
Forgive me if my answer seems a bit long winded, but you ask really good questions and I'm going to try to give you the best answer I can. Whether you believe the bible to be true or not has nothing to do with my answer. I'm answering according to the canon of the christian bible. So, according to the canon of the christian bible, man has already fallen and cannot be redeemed, regardless of free will. Our nature is to sin, but that's not by God's design. The entire message of the christian bible is about God redeeming man, all sinners. God knows we cannot earn our salvation ourselves, which is why (in the bible) he died for all sins to make man perfect. We are not perfect because we try to do what is right, but we are made perfect because God was born into a man, lived the perfect life (without sin), and paid our fines and penalties so we can all be made perfect, regardless of what we decided to do with our free wills.
I hope my answer was relevant to your questions. If not, I really do apologize as I tried my best.
I know I'm acting against my better judgement by acknowledging you and leaving myself open for more of your ad hominem attacks as well as knowing my thoughts mean absolutely nothing to you, but what you wrote is very well written and I couldn't agree more.
There are A LOT of red herrings going on. A LOT. More than usual.
"You people are idiots because you waste so much time on a movie chat side arguing about this Orange fuckhead."
MIC DROP. Should have mic dropped.
God didnt invent these things, as these things are a result of man abusing free will and straying from God's intention.
When I used to drink, I'd have shots of JD with sips of room temperature beer. I don't miss those times at all lol. Be safe :)
Sometimes I come to these forums in hopes to be enlightened by different views and ideas, with the main goal of finding common ground. Pretty much to step out of my echo chamber. There are a few people on here that share my goal, and we can disagree and still have civil discourse. The others who cant, on the other hand, whether they by on the left or the right or in the middle, are only here to spew hate and kick the hornets nest, only to watch MC chaos to ensue. I usually ignore these types as their close mindedness and insult driven posts leave no room for compromise or rationale.
" I don't lay awake worrying about it but do worry about the uninformed electing a critical mass of individuals that really don't know what they are doing."
Well said. Personally, I don't like the government telling me what Im supposed to drive, then taxing me in order for them to take away what I've worked hard for (gas guzzlers and whatnot). Its pretty ironic how pro-choice the left is, but only when it suits them. What about my choice to pick and choose if I want electric or gas? What about my choice to use a bump-stock (dammit Trump!)?
But I digress...it's not going to pass.
He's gay and he's black, which means he's pretty much bulletproof. But I do wonder how the wizards in Hollywood will spin this.
Agreed. Just finished watching Exodus: Gods and Kings. Seemed as if he was just going through a checklist. Im not bashing him by any means, but I will say he's lost what he had. Even Covenant and Prometheus at least LOOKED beautiful. Sadly, there were no redeeming qualities about Exodus. Hercules and Xena had more appeal.
Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Both Blade Runner movies (been binging them for the past week now).
Hey now, you're an all-star...
I don't support universalism, but I do believe that every single person has value because we're all made in the image of God.
I certainly DO NOT believe in equal outcome, as each individual should work hard and contribute in order to recieve their wants and/or needs. I. E, a lazy person who has never worked a day in their adult lives has no rights to the property and/or earnings of an adult who has worked hard for said property and/or earnings.
I'm all about equal opportunity, though :) And I can say that in 2019, in the U. S that the playing field is pretty even.
Hahaha!
Lol, yes, he is an idiot. I'm glad we can agree on that. And yes, at 40:09 he says the quote that I posted.
I understand what you're saying about Capernaum and abortion, but I disagree. I think the rights of the unborn and having the resources to sustain them are two completely different issues. But, that's just my .02. I will give it a watch though. It's $15 on Amazon (yikes!), but I'm sure I can find it on ebay for cheap. Thanks again.
"It clearly states they are talking about abortions up until the mother is in labour."
"The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother..."
I still can't comprehend how you missed this. But I will watch Capernaum, so thanks for the recommendation, sincerely.
Good job. I gave you two time-stamps that are both within a 30 second span and you refuse to watch and listen to the facts coming straight from the horse's mouth. Im impressed.
