How does Kim Wilde have that many albums?
I don’t imagine anyone could keep that pace up without exhausting their creativity.
the beatles
I’ve only listened to two of their albums, so I’ll have to take your word for it.
Oh, sweet zombie Jesus.
Go listen to Revolver and Abbey Road right now, you heathen.
Abbey Road is one of those two albums.

Though I’m currently at work constructing a time machine for the sole purpose of travelling back to 1982 to prevent the filming of ROTJ
Why.
Disgruntled fanboy, is Disgruntled.
Guess what, you can just ignore it. It’s selfish to take it away from other people who enjoy it.
If I had a time machine I wouldn’t use it to get rid of David Lynch.
FFS, I was just joking — caricaturizing my own dislike of ROTJ. Or do you seriously believe I’m building a time machine?
I believe that if you had the ability to build a time machine, you would definitely use it to stop ROTJ from being made.
Actually, if I had a time machine, I’d go back to 2001 and prevent my life from becoming a shambles.
Sounds like your second stop to me. I think you’re downplaying your ROTJ loathing.
As it was for the prequels, I’ve gone through denial, through anger, through bargaining and depression, and have come to acceptance. I don’t like any of them, but they barely exist for me, so I couldn’t care less about their continued presence.

Well it’s like I said the Bible was written by men thousands of years ago so you can’t really take much of what it says literally. I don’t care much for the Bible, that doesn’t mean I can’t believe in God.
Of course you can believe in God. It just doesn’t make you right. Or wrong. You’re just guessing along with everyone else with an opinion on it.
Obviously
I know but some people think it’s not only not obvious, it’s in fact wrong.
Bet chyron thinks the existence of God is obvious.
To me.
Sure. But assuming you don’t think yourself specially endowed with God sensing power, it’s something that could be obvious to anyone. They just have to know where to look.
Yes.
The Bible says the Spirit reveals the truth of God, and that the message of the cross is foolishness to those who don’t believe because they rely solely on miracles and the wisdom of man.
So if someone wanted God to reveal Himself to them, He will—but by His Spirit, not because we are wise.
How about people who have very similar spiritual revelations but for a different god than you believe in? Were they not as sincere in their spiritual experience? Why would god let him someone experience something that feels just as real as a believer in him?
What I’m getting at, is that spiritual experiences are entirely subjective, and since people get different answers, how can there be one true god?
Different religions, different interpretations and opinions of varying degrees of accuracy, same God. Polytheistic religions just seeing multiple advanced beings and calling them all gods because thats how they interpret them, and the one God most believe in May well just be one of them.
(My opinion)
I’ve entertained the possibility that peoples’ different deitities may be their own imperfect way of seeking to understand God. Seems plausible. Then there are those who recognize there is God but decide they’re going to worship a golden cow, which is a different animal.
To darthrush’s point, all of our experience is subjective but that doesn’t mean there isn’t in fact one true God.
The parable of the blind men and the elephant succinctly sums up the religious/theistic experience, I think.
This was my first David Lynch movie and I hope to god that the rest are a little easier to follow.
Lynch’s style shines most brilliantly in works like Eraserhead and Lost Highway, but if you’re not used to surrealist, non-linear filmmaking, here are his most accessible films:
For the love of all that is sacred and holy, never watch Inland Empire.

She was quite prolific in the '80s; her first four albums were released in a four-year stretch. Probably goes toward explaining why her music became so generic so quickly; I don’t imagine anyone could keep that pace up without exhausting their creativity.
Canada, I’m sorry, but fup ur.
Death by poutine’s in your cards.
Though I’m currently at work constructing a time machine for the sole purpose of travelling back to 1982 to prevent the filming of ROTJ, I would never place it beneath that “movie”.

They are.
“Monkey” used to be a catch-all 80 years ago, which is why Curious George is called a “monkey” when he has no tail. But in modern language, monkeys have tails, and apes do not.
IIRC, apes have larger brains than monkeys, too.
I was raised to be a weird sort of fair-weather literalist. As in my dad said things like “Maybe fossils are just decoration God put there, and maybe the world is only about 10,000 years old. Maybe.”
And on the eighth day God said, “The Earth needs some flare. Fake bones will really bring the planet together.”
I, also, was a literalist. Suffice to say, it did me no favours.
I watched the first episode, didn’t care for the tone or characterization, won’t watch further.
Shocking and awe inspiring
