Good solution.

Just wishing? That ain't good enough to be benevolent.
February 16, 2020 at 23:44
Is the notion of omnibenevolence at all coherent? You can make up as much crap as you'd like concerning God. Religious faith doesn't hinge on argument...

I live in a reality where we spell zanny with one z turned on its side, unless zanny is slang. All this time I thought it was spelled with two side-tu...

Does your current living situation constrain you in any way from exacerbating your psychotic tendencies? Change can be stressful, especially if it ups...

The amount of energy spent in the way of living our mundane lives is absurd. To be productive, and therefore turn the economic wheel, requires a huge ...

I too am afraid God might exist. That is why I read the bible and try to distill its perennial wisdom, to hedge my doubt. Disclaimer: I do not read th...

Because of the politics his narrative supports. The hate just reflects the polar divide of our political landscape. He's a religious conservative who ...

No, most likely not. There is so much that general education never touches upon to avoid charges of ideological bias. Best to avoid what would be cont...

I find it less creepy than those corpse crash test dummies.
February 06, 2020 at 03:44
So why didn't you reply with the story about your thanatophobia crisis? Or maybe you have necrophobia. I have the opinion everyone should dissect a hu...

Ha! Yeah, I get it. It's getting expensive.

Don't be stupid Frank. Jonah and Pinocchio are fictional characters while Attenborough and Herzog are hot stuff.
February 03, 2020 at 03:42
So there is no answer. Ha! The Eye of Providence brings to mind political conspiracy (Illumanatism), what with its Masonic origins. Because God is now...

The F word is jarring. It's something that best comes out in character dialogue with appropriate context rather than third person narration. I'm think...

How long do we have to wait for the answer of the riddle?

You have two eyes of a moderator and the power to silence fools. :P

It's single, not a pair. One Eye.

You're going to have to see the answer for us. God is always looking at nudes. He is constantly unclothing the world and driving spiritless machines t...

Active drug addicts might as well be classed as mentally ill, especially long time meth users. I can see how housing these folks would be an intractab...
