If he just kept wiping out every evil person who commits terrible crimes then free will wouldn't actually be true. He has to allow humans to grow on their own and make their own decisions in life if they wanna be a good and loving person or someone who doesn't care about the welfare of others and commits violence and evil. I agree i do wish God would vaporize every human on earth who does evil deeds, but i understand that he created humans with free will and he has to let them be who they want to be how can free will and an omniscient being like "God" co-exist, though? if God knows everything that has happened and everything that will happen, he knows exactly what you're having for dinner tonight. and tomorrow. and the next day. so when it comes time for you to "decide" what you're going to eat, is it really a choice if it's known what the outcome will be? --- Playing: Luigi's Mansion 3; Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order; Hades; Dead Cells; You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine |

Targeting guns just pisses people off and punishes responsible gun owners, this is due to decades of propaganda / brainwashing by the NRA, which is a lobbying group for gun manufacturers. that's why their "solution" to gun violence is to, you guessed it, buy more guns. literally no other country has this problem, it's unique to America because of the dumbshit "gun culture" we have. --- Playing: Luigi's Mansion 3; Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order; Hades; Dead Cells; You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine |

If this thing is going to mutate like crazy and become a yearly shot I won't do it, just like I never get flu shots. so then how do you expect anything to get back to normal? if everyone followed your lead, we'd never hit herd immunity required to safely reopen. so the choices are we either live like this forever, or just say "fuck it" and accept the 550k deaths so far as just the cost of doing business? anyone who desires a return to normal life but is unwilling to get the vaccine is being selfish because they expect everyone else to assume the risks they're unwilling to. --- Playing: Luigi's Mansion 3; Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order; Hades; Dead Cells; You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine |

I'm sure at least one of them made a rainbow dash jar so their seed could be stored for future generations. so you avoided my question where i asked you to point out examples ITT you think are transphobic. but you ignored this. if your goal is to educate people on what you think is right you're doing a really bad job about it. running into a room full of people and screaming "YOU ARE ALL TRANSPHOBIC" then storming out without explaining why isn't doing any good for anyone. and, honestly, it makes it hard to take you seriously if you actually do bring a valid argument to the table. and then you make shitty generalizations against all CIS people, which is the very thing you claim to be so upset about when it happens to you. --- Playing: Luigi's Mansion 3; Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order; Hades; Dead Cells; You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine |
