re: Why to believe in God?

[quote]That is a less elegant rephrasing of Pascal's wager. The flaw I have always seen in it is it doesn't address real belief and the need for faith.[/quote] I've always preferred an alternative formulation of Pascal's Wager. If there truly is no God, then everyone who faithfully lived thei...

[quote]Well I believe in Jesus and after reading the whole bible twice, I have come to the conclusion there was two “Gods” in the Bible. The one in the Old Testament and the real God Jesus in the New Testament. Also the snake in the garden was the first time Jesus came to earth. The tree of knowl...
[quote]we could get huge chunks or even crushed ice on huge ships and dump it in the path of the hurricane to get the water close to freezing.

[quote]On a side note…… I’m absolutely floored that a state like Florida doesn’t have a traffic contra-flow plan for hurricane evacuation purposes. You are either going north or south while evacuating the peninsula, surely someone would have thought about a better way to handle traffic[/quote] Th...

[quote]Simply shifting focus to better storytelling would solve everything.[/quote] I think the biggest part of the problem is that creators have forgotten what good storytelling even looks like. Or they never learned what good storytelling is in the first place. Or they learned, but neve...

[quote]they didn't flesh out the character they presented, forget about progressing her. You never got an idea who she was, aside from a generic Mary Sue. At all. I couldn't describe her to somebody using personality traits. She was completely cardboard.[/quote] This is why - even though TF...

[quote]It worked with their parents. It worked in high school. It worked in college. Makes sense to them that it works in the professional world. It's worked every other time they tried it.[/quote] Exactly. A lifetime of being pandered to and pampered instead of being educated and discip...

[quote]Im genually shocked that the "bosses" know they are GenZ. Usually, all Boomers call everyone under the age of 50 a millinial [/quote] At this point, the generational differences are stark enough to make the distinction. My wife and I are millenials, and we both have to work constantly ...
[quote]You know, you can only hand wave "personal choice" for so long. It completely ignores hundreds of other factors and pressures that play in to these things. It's ridiculous that trying to hold companies accountable and questioning things somehow is a terrible thing.[/quote] It's an extre...

[quote]I would be more intrigued to see a tense horror series portraying the events on LV-426.[/quote] Yeah, that would be cool. There's enough of an existing framework based off the original script + director's cut of Aliens. But would be intriguing to stretch that out into an 8-episode mini-ser...

[quote]It can only make sense if that is how the Weiyland corporation became aware of the xenomorph. In Alien, the android seemed to know rather quickly what the creature was and that may be what this sequel leads up to.[/quote] That's true, but it will be difficult pull off, in my personal opini...

[quote]Is it really? That doesn't make sense to me. That would basically be letting us know the aliens lose or are captured. Makes the show less interesting imo.[/quote] Agreed, and exactly. I don't know what the infatuation with prequels is nowadays. It's like every writer/director wants to b...
