chyron you were supposedly so desperate for legitimate discussion that you couldn’t stop complaining about me, are you going to ever actually answer the legitimate questions I posed?

I will wait for someone else (who believes) to reply and perhaps add my opinion in response to what they said. I don’t want to be responsible for giving people the opportunity to shoot me down outright with regard to my answer, especially when I’m not even sure the question is genuine.

This response makes your earlier complaints ring quite hollow.

No. 1) I’m not convinced you aren’t trying to stir things up, 2) I’m not concrete on the subject, and 3) it’s not a topic I favor.

1. Then ignore me (try it some time, you might like it!) and answer Ash.
2. So take your best guess then. What does your religion teach about it? What you do think is likely?
3. Lol.

Why are you waiting specifically on me to answer?

Because you complained over and over that I was just trolling or being toxic or whatever. I then ask legitimate questions and you refuse to answer. So great job.

^That.

Tell me how that scene needed it.

I can think of at least two pretty good reasons.

There is a difference between showing a naked woman and showing nudity. Unless I missed something that would spoil the upcoming hour-and-a-half, can you explain why the later was necessary, rather than the former?

There is a certain effect that it conveys. It’s in your face. It’s an uncomfortable scene for the character and it’s an uncomfortable scene to watch and the nudity is part of that. In that way, you sympathize with her and her exposure and exploitation (and, ultimately murder). It’s not sexual in any way. It’s gross, and that’s the point.

Another couple of nonsexual examples of this are Carrie taking a bath, or when she’s getting harassed in the locker room, and when the naked kid gets flogged in Lord of the Flies. It makes it more uncomfortable and disturbing, which makes for a more effective scene.

I’ve never seen either of these movies (somehow) but those sound like better examples than Blade Runner 2049. I don’t think the scene needed it at all to work.

I give up, you guys have your opinion on it and I have mine. The scene could have played just as convincingly without those specific shots.

Given the scene, definitely not uninhibitedness or seediness. Possibly innocence or vulnerability, but the point is you can still communicate that quite easily without showing the actual body parts, and showing the actual body parts multiple times.

I can’t even…it’s not worth the bother.

Or the Emotional Support thread.

So all you changed was getting rid of what Possessed wrote, which is basically just quoting mfm?

^That.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I love it now.

Ok I’ll add something new.

Since I’m going to hell, what exactly does that mean? Is it the traditional hell with fire and brimstone and my soul is tortured by eating all the donuts forever? What’s the actual punishment for not believing Jesus was more than a good dude?

I’m actually interested in an answer to this from the believers in here.

Same!

Hey wait that’s just being banned.

IF you are going to hell… it’ll likely be one where you are forced to repeatedly read the Off Topic section of the OT.com for all eternity - but you can never make a post 😉

Noooooooooooooooooooooo

Am I thinking of a different show? I thought the reviews were terrible?

Maybe you should use the time away to make friends and perhaps get a job, then when you do return full time it will be more fun. Forums are much more fun when they are icing on the cake than when they are cake.

This.

Lol.

You’re starting to sound like ender, who got mad that I wasn’t who he wanted me to be. I’m sorry but it doesn’t work that way.

The attitude that it’s murder to abort a six-week-old fetus but a person who murdered a fully developed person can completely wipe the slate clean by accepting Jesus is revolting to me.

So you have said.

You might want to get over it.

One wonders why you can not.

My comments are about religion. Yours are about me.

But you don’t believe in religion. You’re just bitching. If you don’t believe, you shouldn’t care. People make judgements and decisions, religion or not, that other people disagree with. Complaining endlessly about how their philosophy makes no sense at some point becomes not much more than trolling.

It’s a discussion forum. I’m discussing the things that bother me about religion, the things that I take personally about religion.

But it’s your choice to take them personally. I would think indifference would be better.

How is this relevant to your original complaint? Now you’re just complaining that I don’t think like you.

Church is not required

I’m pretty sure the religions I’m thinking of disagree.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say church is required.

I said nothing about the Bible. You might want to tell religion that and see how far you get.

It’s like hanging out in the NFL thread just to complain at length about how American football is stupid.

American football doesn’t want me to be tortured endlessly after I die just because I don’t think Ben Wyatt is a quarterback.
