Good luck proving what made you sick, though. A foodborne illness can sometimes take days before you develop symptoms. At that time, you might think it was that sketchy chicken salad that made you sick, and you might be right…but it could also be any number of other things that you ate before you got sick.
That’s cool and all, but I don’t see how that changes anything. Christian Satan is different from Jewish Satan.
Sure, but we’re talking about Satan within Christian mythology, not Judaism.
Well, not for you, but for somebody else reading this. I think people assume that because the movie happens first chronologically that they should see it first. (When it was actually created after the series as a prequel.)
You should read Revolt of the Angels.
Have you read the Bible? The only evil shit that Satan does is when he fucks up Job’s life, and that’s in collusion with God. Meanwhile, God is doing evil on almost every page of the Old Testament.
The reason we’re supposed to hate Satan is because he rebelled against God. Again, if you’ve read the Old Testament, you have dozens of good reasons to rebel against God.
This train of thought is what lead to the creation of Satanism as a literary movement in the 19th century and then as a religion in the late 20th century.
Shit. You shouldn’t watch the movie first, because it has major spoilers for the series in it.
Huh. Interesting. Do you know any WWII scholars who will back you up on this?
I never have this problem, but I always install with pacman.
I found learning Linux much more fun, because I didn’t have to fight with the computer on every damned thing.
my time on this earth is finite (for now)
Let me know when you get that immortality hack working!
This is all subconscious shit that marketers have to deal with. There’s a good article about it here. What bothers me is not knowing what unconscious biases like this that I have.
One thing that I do is randomly select varieties of things that I buy (wrt color, scent, etc.) I can’t think of a time that I’ve ever regretted doing that.
The whole “long hair = gay” thing is such weird boomer shit. It’s right up there with believing that gay men wear dresses and makeup.
It’s not even 21st century homophobia. It’s like something out of the 1950s.
Speaking as a Satanist: we don’t believe in Heaven, Hell, or an afterlife, so we’re very much anti-apocalypse. This world is the only one we’ve got, so we don’t want it to end.
The only good that prayer can do is as a mindfulness exercise, and there aren’t any shortcuts for those.
So that’s what those are for? That’s like saying “I don’t need to go running. Look, I can just draw a stick figure in this book, flip the pages, and he runs for me!”
What’s wrong with effective altruism?
I don’t know how you could read the Bible and not think that’s where those are fuckers are going.
What kind of tea? I hope it’s a nice roasted oolong.
