    Death

    I don't fully believe all the votes saying no. Most people faced with death, they might not fear the abstract concept but we have a natural aversion to death either our own or stagnant corpses. Me personally, I'm afraid of dead things, generally. My own death, thinking about it, not so much...

    Over Sized Signatures?

    This sounds familiar.... huge forum signature pictures I'm more bothered by the picture not being centered, but it's pretty large but "huge" wouldn't be the term I'd say. Personally I'd just get rid of the picture or go and downsize it by a factor of at least 2 or 3. The quotes are fine...

    The Democratic tide is rolling in - happy days are here again

    What I understand is that they are gonna get rid of him as soon as it's convenient. They want to use him but I don't think they fully thought through how to handle the fallout with his hardcore supporters. I think that this whole Russian thing as more arrests are made are gonna if not force him...

    Funerals and spirituality

    Small update. I talked with family on the phone to see what was planned. Seems I was worrying for nothing. My family has done very well in respecting her wishes and beliefs. They made very sure with the guy that was going to speak. I'm relieved. Sometimes I get overly anxious about stuff. Mostly...

    Funerals and spirituality

    Thanks everyone. I've thought about it, and trying to see if I could speak for part the eulogy I think would solve a lot of the issues. Although convincing my family might be a nightmare, or it might not. I don't know how it's going to be handled. That aside, I guess my real fear was this idea...

    Why do humans not like reptiles?

    Spoilers@!!! Oh wait, we are 11 years late on that lol. Nah, I just forgot about that. But he was on fire. Is that really a dragon? The characters in the game more seemed to think that being an avatar of Akatosh wasn't being a dragon based on what I recall them saying. The way they talk about...

    What's the justification for believing in the soul?

    Well, how do you explain reincarnation without something like a soul, huh??? No, but seriously, soul itself comes from matter/physical universe as far as I can tell. To me the soul is the summation of yourself, starting with the physical all the way to the spiritual. I got a theory of sorts...

    Funerals and spirituality

    Around noon or so today (11/6) my Nana died. She was always a very spiritual person. She considered herself a Christian of sorts but had a lot of Native American spiritualism, kinda witchy and was always on the magical side. In the summer when she was still mostly there, she had given me some...

    Why do humans not like reptiles?

    It's only confusing if you are just that ignorant. Is what I said really that hard to understand? What are you, 12? What rock have you been living under for the past 30+ years? Well that much is clear or else you'd know there was no dragons in the game until the fifth game, Skyrim. Something...

    Why do humans not like reptiles?

    Actually she does. Also Lucifer wasn't kicked out, there isn't even an arch angel named Lucifer in the mythology until centuries after the Christian Bible was canonized. Lucifer just means morning star or light bearer and there were even saints named lucifer: Lucifer of Cagliari - Wikipedia...

    Weapons in Sacred Spaces.

    It once came up that the baptist Church down the road from my house, the deacons occasionally are packin' heat (not that you could ever tell). Little do people realize, their deacons are not just there to greet people. They are also security of sorts, although discrete ones at that. It's better...

    Flat Earth

    I wanna bet half the people who bought tickets are just there for laughs, don't believe in any of it.

    Why do humans not like reptiles?

    How do you craft without thumbs? Also those worlds, Oreth is the main earth like planet from the Greyhawk Universe in D&D (one of the most popular the 'original' one), and the latter is the main earth like planet of Pathfinder (an offshoot of 3.5e more or less by a subcompany of Wizards of the...

    It was only a matter of time

    So ya, a loophole where either a private seller doesn't need to double check or there isn't any way to confirm it. It's illegal to sell even privately to a felon. It's just hard to get caught unless law enforcement discovers about the sale. You didn't account for stabbings, just fatalities...

    It was only a matter of time

    Britain has a knife crime problem that puts American gun crime to shame. People will use anything to try to kill others. If this means we will do more for mental health in the USA, hey it would be at least more effective than more bureaucratic gun regulation bloat that isn't enforced right half...

    Why do humans not like reptiles?

    And here I was thinking you guys hoarded untold treasures and were end game bosses when I hit level 20. Hey now, worlds such as Oreth, Golarion and the like are pretty gender equal, all considered! Wut? I've only ever used worms. Or buy fish at the market after some adventuring. It's...

    What is wrong doing?

    What is wrong doing, and what are it's consequences? What is the difference, if any, between adharma, evil, wrong doing, and actions which bring harmful karma (ignoring that all karma attachment is less than ideal)? Is there a place of punishment between rebirths, and if to any degree how much...

    Finding Materialism Too Dull?

    I dunno. Materialism always seemed weird to me in the same way idealism is. In a lot of ways I'm close to neutral monism but I'm technically not monist (nondual emenationalism is the term I'd use). That said, I don't find comfort in the idea of possession as that means it's largely out of your...

    Maintaining a thesis at all costs

    I kinda get where he's coming from, but I think it's pretty clear that there is an external world we are (alibet imperfectly) perceiving through stimuli so I don't agree with the idea that everything is just all in the mind which appears to be the implication. The apple doesn't exist because...
