How so?

My teacher is going to eat me alive. I hate her and she hates me so she’s going to do everything she possibly can to fuck my life.

I think that is a Barney song…

An Arnie song, actually.

Can an Australian have their world view turned upside down?

Nope, just upside up!

You’re assuming the traditional alignment of Earth as seen in maps and photos is the objectively true one. But look what happens when you do this:

you’re assuming the earth is flat and rectangular.

I assume no such thing.

The Earth is cylindrical.

Finally, I predict that when Dave Filoni introduces us to this new series on an episode of the Star Wars show he’ll be wearing a hat.

You can’t predict what is a foregone conclusion.

Why does God have to be a “He” anyway?

He doesn’t. Our language doesn’t have a gender-neutral pronoun for a single individual and I’m not sure if the Hebrews and Greeks had one either.

No.

Lazy sexist, was lazy.

Yes.

Just call God “It.” If God exists, it’s neither male nor female.

I prefer “They”. “It” is too singular and impersonal.

FYI, I was sobering up when I submitted my last post.

FYI, it was a joke about how much the world actually sucks.

Missed this. Thought I’d go back and comment anyway.

Yeah, there’s evil and ugliness in the world — lots ‘n’ lots ‘n’ lots of it. But there’s just as much good and beauty in it. If you focus on the negatives of life, you’ll never see the positives. And humanity has bettered itself over the countless millennia, even if there’s still room for a shit-ton of improvement.

If God existed before everything else, then who or what created God? Since nothing else existed, the definitive answer is that nothing could have created God, and its existence is not only ineffable, but logically unsound. Something cannot come from nothing. The universe itself also suffers from this problem. People who posit the existence of God and/or the universe are implying that the very principles of logic are so broken that literally anything follows from an argument. I could say that because some flower pots are red, Australia is made of bricks and it would be just as logical as saying that God or a universe arose from nothing.

Therein lies the problem of saying God “exists”. To exist is to be a part of existence — to be part of the creation. God isn’t a part of existence; God is the ground of existence, or existence itself. Ergo, God doesn’t “exist”.

But that’s only what I’ve gleaned from a cursory reading of Tillich.

impossible for God

False.
I don’t believe in god, but if it’s real, there’s nothing that’s impossible for it.

This.

The very idea we can even understand god…

If it’s any consolation, it’s what I believe, not what I know. I don’t claim to “know” anything about God.

Foundation by Isaac Asimov

It’s not you, it’s me. I don’t know what’s wrong with me right now, but I’m just not feeling it. I should be loving this, but I find myself lacking the motivation to turn the page. Is it depression? Some kind of reader’s burnout? Are you just not for me? Maybe I should have read you years ago when my mind was fresher, and you could have masterfully captured my imagination. Instead, I find myself feeling empty, and guilty for not finishing this book that should have been a quick read. One day, I’ll return. I hope to find then what I’m missing now. Until then, you’ll hold a spot on my shelf…

Sorry…

Years ago – c. 2011-2013 — I felt this in regards to the movies I was watching. I felt indifferent to most of the movies I watched, even the great ones, awarding them 5-to-6/10. But I was in a dark place; I was a solid pessimist bordering on nihilism, and that skewed the way I viewed everything in life, even films. I had to force myself to change my thought processes to enjoy movies more, and as a consequence of that, I grew to view life in general in a more positive light.

Counter point: if God is all good, why would he waste his time with such depraved beings? He could still be omnipotent and have just given up on us.

Because They love us, perfectly. And such perfect love entails absolute freedom — freedom from compulsory belief, freedom from absolute obedience, and freedom of choice — be it good or evil.

But we’re children of God, and as such God exists in us, speaks to us, even if we’re unaware of it. it doesn’t matter what religion we follow, if we follow any religion at all — God reveals Their will to us, and we respond to that will. It has taken three million years of evolution, but we are improving as a species, and we are capable of shaping the imperfect universe around us into into a beautiful, godly paradise.

I feel like footage from 2016 wouldn’t meld well with footage from 1983

However you have given me an idea: The rebellion attacks an Imperial Shipyard that looks something like this:

Perhaps they are building a new Super Star Destroyer that the Emperor would personally oversee the final preparations of. Perhaps the opening scene could establish the Endor Shipyard and keep most of the Jerjerrod scene. Maybe the Star Destroyer can cloak (it’s established in Empire that small ships can’t cloak, but perhaps the MASSIVE star destroyer can)

Then Luke and the Emperor’s battle could take place on the cloaked Super Star Destroyer, which after the Emperor’s death uncloaks, and reveals itself to the Rebellion. The Star Destroyer is destroyed and the Rebels escape! They have achieved their objective!

Maybe the shield generator is actually powering the Super Star Destroyer’s cloaking ability while it’s unfinished?

If you go this route, you should use the Eclipse as the Star Destroyer in question.

In light of the universe as it is, it’s impossible for God to be both omnibenevolent and omnipotent. Thus I choose to believe God is the former, not the latter.

Well this is awkward. I wanted to make an announcement about leaving, but now ender already got all the attention.

How long do I need to wait?

/Sarcasm

Thank God for the /sarcasm. I’d be depressed if i though yout were leaving for real.

I love everyone here, even the guys who occasionally piss me off. My life would be bleaker without you all.

Regardless of what your theological position is, you should read this book.
