I did not answer because I was not here. But yes, I do believe that Hell exists. Simply put, believe so because the Bible says it does, in particular because testimony about Jesus Himself says that Jesus says it does. And also there reportedly are people in our current society who have had near-death experiences who also confirm that it exists.

It’s not something I prefer to focus on, and I can understand the argument people try to make that a loving God wouldn’t allow for such a place. But I don’t like the idea of putting God into a box as though He isn’t a certain way just because people don’t want Him to be since it makes them uncomfortable to accept it.

JEDIT: The same can be said of angels and demons. The Bible says Jesus encountered them while here was here; and there are modern day testimonies of people who have encountered them.

So it is enough evidence for me to accept that such places and such people exist, and that whether I like it or not is not actually relevant.

Currently have got into a flight sim mood, so have been replaying X-Wing Alliance and am playing Crimson Skies for the first time. Sooo good! Crimson Skies reminds me a lot of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (which is fine with me, 'cos Sky Captain rocks. Giant Robots? Gadget planes?? Pulpy goodness??? HELL YES.)

What joystick do you use? I learned rather quickly that using a gamepad for PC flight games just doesn’t work.

I’ve never played X-Wing Alliance, although back in the day I did love TIE Fighter quite a lot.

His opinion? The one where he’s bitching about jason’s moderation while trying to pretend he’s not? I don’t care about his opinion. I only commented on his completely transparent and sad attempt at pretending he didn’t have it.

And anyway he’s only free to have that opinion if the moderators think he’s free to have it. They will have the say on it, not you or I or him.

But thanks for your opinion, as worthwhile as ever.

Please stop being snide.

That post reminds me of something a former member would have said.

But not a former member here, just a general member on any forum, right?

What does it matter?

Can’t tell if missed the point or not.

I did not miss the point. Your point is Warbler is making a comment about specific events on this specific forum while attempting to obfuscate it as a general opinion.

But I don’t see what confronting him about it (repeatedly) accomplishes, since either way he’s free to have his opinion.

Warbler.

Warb’s not wrong, though.

Cool.

Maybe I was making a joke that also was making a point

Joke only works when it’s funny, and point is only made when people get what the point is

but nah, you’re right, I was attacking Warbler and ruining the thread.

It certainly sounded that way, and it’s not exactly beneath you to do so. But if you weren’t attacking Warbler, I’m not the one to convince.

Do you mean “Completed” as in “100%'ed”? Or do you just mean “Beaten”?

I’ve completed most of them but beaten very few.

By “beaten” I don’t mean attacked the physical media the game is stored on. I mean defeated the final boss. As opposed to also acquiring 100% of the items and abilities in the game or else obtaining the best ending if multiple endings exist.

Post was not serious.

“Straight” meaning without excessive flourish.

Wow I don’t think I can possibly find enough Ric pics for this post.

I knew you were being facetious, but I answered as though you were not.

What are you reading?
Time

The Last Jedi novelization starts out slow in the beginning, but it gets to be good by the end. The story does flesh out the thoughts or motivations of certain characters as well as certain events in the film. While it does answer certain questions the film raises, it also does so as the expense of proper pacing. In effect, the novelization is a good supplement to the film, but is only a decent novel in its own right.

I only recommend reading the novel if you love the film. If you only like the film or haven’t watched it, the novel will probably be “meh.”
