I will admit that I rolled my eyes a bit at what is apparently the most loved episode of that season (This is the water and this is the well...) because I found it to be overly-arty, self-indulgent nonsense.

Your reaction to that episode probably sums up your feelings about David Lynch, I guess lol

That episode is definitely an oddball. It's amazing technically, but absolutely polarizing as an episode. I thought it made sense overall, but it also felt like David Lynch just wanted to film some weird shit in black and white again.

I think what bothers me most is that people look at this garbage that is Twin Peaks The Return and act like it's some deep misunderstood show that forces you to think... No, it's just Lynch who lost his damn mind and forgot how to write or do proper pacing.

Sounds like you think it's garbage because you wanted it to force you to think deeply.

No, I wanted a show that actually answered questions from the original with actual plot progression. Instead it felt like I was watching a comedic parody of Twin Peaks that purposely left out the punchlines.

If you hated The Return, then you never liked Twin Peaks or Lynch in general. Plain and simple.

The final episode pissed me off and there are a few unresolved storylines that are less genius and more trolling, but The Return is an amazing series overall. It's so fucking weird, but I just couldn't turn away.

More like pro-choice vs anti-choice

Pro-life anti-life?

The implication there would be that everyone that supports abortion is completely against childbirth and basically wants to end the existence of life.

That seems slightly more inaccurate than saying people against abortion want to get rid of the option to have one.

I'm sure there are some actual anti-lifers out there somewhere, but that would mean they aren't pro-choice.

Anyone that wants to push to ban abortion is trying to get rid of the choice. Most people who support the existence of abortion are not trying to make it mandatory.

omg dude

you've been brainwashed by the hardcore feminist crazies. they are the ones who say that. and call their own children parasites.

I'm just saying no one ever has a right to someone else's body. I don't care if you are a 12 week fetus or a 32 year old man. You only have access to someone's body as long as they allow it. You can't force someone to give their body to help yours. We don't even treat corpses like that (which I disagree with) so why pregnant women?

Both actually. While I have no problem with people that want to abort I would perfer they be put up for adoption so that people don't gotta look far if they cannot have children normally.


Don't we have enough unwanted orphans already?

Explain to me why foreign adopt is still a thing then.

Are you seriously doubting the existence of American orphans? There are more than 0 orphans so clearly not all are taken in.

I meant American orphans. They don't need to look far as there are already hundreds of thousands of orphans in the US. I don't know all the details of how adoption works, but people aren't adopting international babies due to a lack of American options.

Definition of agnostic

1 : a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (such as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god

2 : a person who is unwilling to commit to an opinion about something. political agnostics

Webster's Dictionary definition.

this site is probably the best place to look up philosophical terms and concepts

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/atheism-agnosticism/#DefiAgno

Agnosticism as a philosophy comes off like "radical centrism". It implies that there are two equal sides and that the truth is unknowable or somewhere in the middle. It seems a little off-base to equate believing without evidence and not believing without evidence as equally wrong sides. It makes agnosticism come off as atheists that are embarassed by snarky "angstheists" and want to distance themselves by using more palatable term.

Not believing in things until there is evidence is like the default logical stance, but we start talking about gods and suddenly we need to start muddying the waters? That isn't humble or reasonable. It's meaningless.

Different people have different ideas about what "god" could be. Most agnostics I know are perfectly fine dismissing organized religion. That doesn't really have anything to do with the concept of a creator or some type of higher power.


This I consider myself agnostic solely because I'm fervently against organized religion. I recognize that something or something's are at work though. Even if that something is just a natural phenomenon.

So you believe in a higher power of some sort. That means you are not agnostic. You're just against mainstream religion.


That's not true. You're saying it's a higher power as if it's a god. It could be a pantheon of gods. It could just be the Big Bang. It could be anything outside our comprehension. Agnostic is a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.

What you're describing is like a Hollywood atheist.

How am I saying that at all? I vaguely said power to be all-inclusive.

Do you or do you not, at this very moment, believe in the existence of some sort of god/gods/force/whatever?

Imagine how infuriating dealing with other people would be if we were "agnostic" on all things. "I think John filed that report, but he also might not have. If I didn't watch John the entire time, do I know the whole story? Can we even be sure that free will exists? What if this is all a simulation and the reports are filing us? I don't think so, but could we ever really know for sure? What were you asking?"

Being open-minded and lacking opinions are not the same thing.

Pro life, babies heartbeats can be detected at 6 weeks. To stop a living persons heart who has done nothing wrong is literally murder.

Murder is a legal term. Abortion is literally not murder unless it is abolished.

What do you call someone who is against mainstream religion? Athiest, Theist? No, Agnostic.

I'd call them against religion. I would need to know their stance on higher powers to know whether or not they are theist.

^ nah, you can be an agnostic theist.

How? Theism is literally claiming knowledge of a god power. No one said it had to be a specific god.

So you either believe there is a god or you believe nothing, but are leaning towards theism.

2. you don't have to be religious to believe in souls. just spiritual

3. your trying to change the subject and mock me

I'll stay on subject then. Comparing child sacrifice to aborting a fetus is pants-on-head ridiculous. It's like when vegans call meat murder or someone equates an inconvenience to slavery.

Nothing about evolution disproves religion.

that doesn't matter. it is creationism that cannot ever co-exist with evolution, because it states that all life was created in the form that it still exists in today, and that is demonstrably false. there is no way that religion can ratify itself with an evolutionary model without contradicting its own core tenets. whether or not "evolution disproves religion" doesn't even enter into it. creationism itself by definition is diametrically opposed to the evolutionary model. anyone who claims it is not does so only by ignoring or writing off those core religious tenets.


It's almost if religious texts can be interpreted in multiple ways with a diverse following amongst people........

So the truth is relative?
