And you wonder why I call you an idiot.

I don't wonder, I know. You try to insult me with it when my excellent posts upset you.

Warbler's Christian thread.

This is a thread for me post Christian thoughts and pics and stuff like that.  I do not wish this to be a thread to debate religion.   Feel free to debate religion and Christianity and, but please do so in another thread.   Please keep anti-relgion and anti-christian  and disrespectfull stuff and mockery out of the this thread.  I thank you in advance for doing so.

There is NO DEMAND or COMMAND anywhere to be found.  You sir, are seeing what you want to see, in order to justify your "technical issue" postings.  

If you are a decent person like you say you are you would apologize to Warbler. 

I highlighted verbs that grammatically qualify as commands. If you require any further grammar lessons I will be happy to provide them, as I am a decent person.

 We accept your opinion.

You instead should accept the fact that it doesn't necessarily reflects the truth.

I don't give opinions, only facts.

imperialscum said: Why didn't they just bring Jake Lloyd in then. As in TPM Anakin was actually the last time a good person and what you call a "pure Jedi". In AOTC and ROTS, Anakin was basically an annoying, arrogant, jealous, self-centred, unlikeable jerk, who on top of that was constantly consciously breaking Jedi rules (e.g. Padme romance, etc.). A complete opposite of a good person or "pure Jedi".

 Everything Anakin does in the first half of SW III makes him a good Jedi.

An alcoholic who is sober once in a while is still an alcoholic.

I guess the winner of recommendations is Cowboy Bebop as 3 of us recommended it so far.

Well if you are picky then you can apply "majority is trash" to anything... films, anime, music, food, etc.

Unlike many people who say "older films" are intrinsically better, I think the majority of films in general are not good (= not to my liking). "Older films" have the advantage that there is much bigger pool from which I can make the selection and therefore there are more I like. But I would say the percentage is the same if I compare it to the most recent films.

And yes, Anakin redeemed himself, but by that time he was a corrupted man who got back on the good path before dying. So his spirit shows the look he actually had when he was a pure Jedi.

Lucas original vision version circa 1997 was changed twice more,and got worse all the time. 

 worse...?

Well sticking PT parasites into OT really can't be considered anything but worse. For a sane person that is.

 Yeah, it's the exact same thing that happens with Hollywood blockbusters.  They are made these days to have wide appeal by having simple stories and as little dialog as possible so people in China can follow them, it's why Micheal Bay's "films" have made more money then all other films every made combined.

No offence but this is an ignorant claim.

First, films are either fitted with subtitles or synchronised. So claiming that dialogue/story is simplified so that people who don't speak English can understand it is absurd. And even if this was the case (which is not), why would you suddenly blame Chinese market? Far larger market existed/exists in Europe for decades where for example French, Italian, Spanish audience were/are on average very bad at English.

Secondly, Michael Bay has been making bad films since forever. Recent appearance of Chinese market really had no influence on his filmmaking.

Lastly, majority of people everywhere seem to like current mainstream Hollywood films. And that is the sole reason why they continue to make such films.

THIS THREAD IS NOW ABOUT ANIME THAT DOESN’T MATTER ANYMORE

This is captain of the pirates speaking. We hijacked the thread.

Well my suggestions would be:

Psycho-pass (2012) and Cowboy Bebop (1998).

DuracellEnergizer said:

go watch some fucking anime or something

I'm not an anime kind of guy. Can you suggest something for a noob like me?

How about some porn?

A good thing about DF series compared to other post-ROTJ EU is that it doesn't use/rely on the main characters from OT (except for minor roles/appearences).

Nanner Split said:

 I will do just that.

Jetrell Fo said:

your intentions seem to come through quite clear

I guess not so clear after all, considering you completely misjudged them.

Jetrell Fo said:

I don't know you well enough to say anything more than you seem to have a serious issue with Christianity and possibly warbler. 

I don't have any issue with it beyond not being fond of religions in general.

Jetrell Fo said:

Feel what you will about Christianity but when it comes to warbler, I believe you owe him an apology.

As I already explained numerous times by now, when it comes to Warler's thread I simply argued that he cannot demand from people to not use the primary function of the thread. It just so happens that he was posting stuff about Christianity. I would make the same argument if he was posting scientific equations or photos about his pubic hair.

skyjedi2005 said:

Everywhere else i have been online you need to be screened before posting and are banned immediately for troublemaking or trollery.

If we take this thread as sample, I don't see any post that would qualify for a ban (according to sane standards of of course). Except maybe for posts I quoted from other threads where people called me an idiot.

ATMachine said:

For me, I'd say Kyle Katarn and the associated gang from the Dark Forces world (Jan Ors, the Seven Dark Jedi, Rahn and Morgan Katarn) without a doubt.

Desann and Tavion I could take or leave... but I'd like to have them thrown in too, if possible.

Maybe not Rosh, though. :P

I support this, since DF series are the only EU I accept from post-ROTJ era.

When I was in college, some 150 years ago, one of the guys on my floor used to run from room to room, spraying an aerosol can, screaming "FUCK THE OZONE LAYER!!!"

So he was the pioneer of chemtrails.

I love how Christians are bigots who believe that perhaps it is against God's will that homosexuality is an acceptable practice in his eyes, though they still defend the rights of homosexuals.

I can't help myself but point out this technical issue.

Christians who believe that homosexuality is against God's will don't believe in omnipotence of God, which is basically equal to not believing in God at all.

If it was against God's will then it wouldn't exists, would it?

 Yeah, "against God's will" might not be the best way to say it. I think it's more accurate to explain this way:

• God does allow people to sin, even if it's wrong. That's probably a concept you're familiar with? Like, you know we believe it?
• People come in all ways. Some of my grandparents had problems with alcohol. Some people have problems with anger. Other with pride, etc.
• Not all desires are good.
• Not all sexual desires are good.
• Some people have problems with not-good sexual desires (see above).
• Some of those bad sexual desires are homosexual in nature.
• Modern concepts of identity have made those desires into an immutable part of a person's identity, which they believe they can not and should not forsake.
• Many Christians disagree with that last part.

Well if an event can happen then there are two possible scenarios.

1. God allows it to happen, which basically means it is God's will as God must have designed the possibility for such event to occur.

2. God has no control over it, which would negate omnipotence.

If I make a simple computer program that randomly outputs either 0 or 1, then I let computer to decide which one it will generate in each iteration. However, it was me who purposely designed the possibility for either number to appear, which means I was in control and therefore it was my will.

If I design a program that would only output 1 and somehow 0 appeared, then it means it happened against my will, which further means that I wasn't in the control of the program.

Frank your Majesty said:

It is the same. "Why are people doing things against God's will if he could have created them in a way that they would not act against it?"

What I am aiming at omnipotence paradox. So far, no argument that tried to solve/explain it convinced me.

 This is basically the same as asking: "If God didn't want Eve to taste the apple, why didn't he create her in a way that she wouldn't want to taste it?" I'm sure this was answered a long time ago and probably has something to do with free will. You could find this out by yourself, instead of using your ignorance as an excuse to belittle people here.

That is not the same at all.

And then there is that nasty Fukushima radiation killing the Pacific Ocean.

Oh yes, Fukushima is killing Pacific Ocean. What about countless of nuclear bomb detonations across the pacific islands?

Imperialscum's 3 condescending posts:

#1- In response to Warbler's request to keep anti-theist comments out of his Christian thread - "I don't get it. I thought religion was supposed to something very personal. Why would one feel the need to display it like this? You made a thread to display your crap and at the same time you forbade people to debate or give feedback. This is an internet forum, not a parking lot in front of your house where you show off your new car."

#2 - In response to Post Praetorian's attempt to politely explain why Warbler's request was reasonable -"I am afraid "we" shall not try again. I give up on your inability to comprehend extremely simple stuff."

#3 - In response to RicOlie_2 after he stated that he agreed with Jetrell Fo regarding the validity of Warbler's request to keep anti-theist rhetoric out of his christian thread -

"Unfortunately for you, it seems you agree with with him when he is completely wrong."

I would agree that first one might have been a little bit disrespectful, merely because I sometimes use word "crap" instead of "stuff" for describing some generic items. The last two are completely okay. As an honest person I am, I was just stating the truth.
