Slime posted:So he looks like his twink dad? And if God's gay, then it makes sense that his son was born via immaculate conception without him actually having to touch a woman. It's like...artificial insemination with Mary having a kid of a gay guy who wanted a child. FYI the immaculate conception refers to the conception of Mary free of the original sin, not the conception of Jesus without sex.

Stoatbringer posted:Ugh, I once had a very long discussion with someone about the ontological argument. It seems to essentially boil down to something like "I define God as being absolutely perfect in every way. Existence is more perfect than non-existence, therefore God must exist, therefore God exists, therefore Christianity is true. Accept all these definitions uncritically and don't ask any pesky questions."

Goku is the best fighter ever. Obviously he can't really the best if he doesn't exist, therefore he must exist and is also capable of beating up god.

I think it's important to point out that the ontological proof for the existence of god was created by a man who later starved to death because his wife wasn't around to cook for him.

Strudel Man posted:Yeah, that's the core of it. It's a fairly creative argument, I'll give it that, and explaining precisely what's wrong with it can be a little tricky - the most convincing response I've read is that 'existence' is not truly a characteristic of an entity itself, but of the world. (E.g., unicorns aren't "a horse with one horn that doesn't exist," they're just "a horse with one horn," and the world we live in is one that doesn't have unicorns in it.) But even without an exact logical counter-argument, it does seem like the sort of thing that shouldn't pass the smell test for anyone. It's hard to explain what's wrong with the ontological argument because it's so stupid it's difficult to even engage with.

By saying "God is perfect, or the most perfect thing possible" or "Goku is the best fighter ever", your opening statement doesn't define any actual entity at all. You're just giving another name to something that's at the top of its class, you're just giving a trophy to something. Yes, if whatever entity actually existed it would have those properties, but your argument doesn't prove that the entity actually exists - you're just giving the title of God or Goku or Perfect Omlette to something that actually does exist that matches the definition the most closely. In a universe that where there are no eggs and only ham sandwiches, one of those ham sandwiches would be the Perfect Omelette simply because existence is much more perfect than nonexistance

Also, besides that oil of oregano laffer, one of the stupidest things I hear was "I suffer from PTSD, from my fiancee dying." I'm not saying its impossible, but if thats all you give by way of explanation it sounds pretty weak sauce. Billions of people lose loved ones to tragic circumstances This is the most self-perpetuating thread

You can get it from any kind of traumatic event, and it's not like human brains all have a standard measure of what constitutes trauma. If a professional diagnosed a person, then no random rear end in a top hat has a right to belittle the diagnosis because they don't think they... What, deserve a mental illness? You must be *this* traumatized to ride?

It seems like in order to make trigger warnings and random internet claims of PTSD as laughable as possible, people have started to think of it as this almost impossible to contract disorder that requires living in a war zone for a year and then being certified by a team of doctors. People attach emotion to things very differently and experience trauma in very personal ways, but a close death seems like an incredibly likely way for it to occur.

This is what everyone who has ever been diagnosed with Depression hears from family and friends. So I think we need to give it a new name, something that truly sums it up. I vote for "soulbreaker".

I'm not saying its impossible, but if thats all you give by way of explanation it sounds pretty weak sauce. Billions of people lose loved ones to tragic circumstances gently caress you. You wake up to her with blood running and bubbling out her mouth making moaning sounds that will haunt you forever. You do chest compressions hearing bones crack and blood squirting out her loving nostrils until the EMTS show up pulling you off her. Oh, and you had to run and unlock the door so they could get in when they show up. And always wonder if those 30 seconds you spent doing that made a difference. You be unable to fall asleep except for exhaustion because every time you close your eyes you see the blood. THEN you can say PTSD from my fiancé dying in front of my eyes is not real. I hope you die painfully slow and all alone. You gently caress.

You must be *this* traumatized to ride? A severe misunderstanding of mental illness and no effort to educate oneself on the characteristics of commonly talked about traumas leads to people getting stupid ideas about PTSD. And maybe for example, using popular media to fill the gaps in one's knowledge. 'PTSD because a loved one died? That doesn't sound that well-written. Seems a bit weak to me, I don't believe it.. :/" If it was something like saying that their fish dying when they were a kid giving them PTSD I'd be a lot more skeptical than an actual human being you knew and were close to dying. edit: But I'm an uninformed rear end in a top hat so y'know RareAcumen has a new favorite as of 00:55 on Feb 15, 2016 |

Well my manager has been on a kick recently about ways to try and preserve our products longer so we don't throw as much poo poo out. Another one that came down from head office is that all of our tropical fruit is to be stored outside the cooler because it was grown in a warm environment, so naturally if it stays warm it will last longer. It's like the people running this place don't know how bacteria grows.
