i like it when an evil character dies unrepentant and that itself is narratively framed as a great tragedy. when their death scene is very uncomfortable and sobering instead of triumphant for the heroes. when it’s less about what they’ve done and more about what they’ve failed to do, less who they were and more who they failed to ever become… yeeeaaahhhh

6 responses to anti-evangelism

A semi-common argument against evangelization (AKA sharing your faith with others) is based on how personal responsibility increases with knowledge. It goes like this:

“If people who don’t know/are less familiar with God aren’t as liable for their sins, then it’s wrong to tell them about God because you’re increasing their chances of going to Hell.”

I’ve been noodling over this and came up with a few counterpoints, ordered by what I think secular folks will find most compelling:

That is a whole-ass adult. It’s selfish and prideful to assume we know what’s best for others. We should share what we know and let them decide what to do with that info.

Friends don’t let friends keep hurting themselves. People’s sins still hurt them, even if they don’t realize the extent. It’s cruel to withhold information that could help them.

It’s dangerous out there alone; take this. The devil is actively attacking people, even if they don’t know about God. We shouldn’t force them to face that alone.

No one likes a gatekeeper. God’s love and grace brings incredible healing and joy, and we should let others experience that too.

Task failed successfully. Faith isn’t just a series of rules; it’s an intimate relationship. Being perfectly united with God is what makes Heaven such a wonderful place. Being separated from God is what makes Hell such a horrible place (it’s the main source of suffering). By denying people the chance to know God, you’re separating them from Him, literally making their lives more hellish.

Because God. God is love and kindness and mercy Itself, and He explicitly told us to tell everyone about Him, so clearly knowing Him is better than the alternative.

Grace: *does something*

Rocky: "why Grace so 🎶🎶🎶 stupid. Question."

Grace: "Excuse me buddy?"

Rocky: "...🎶🎶🎶 stupid. Hmm. Need word."

Grace: "...what does it mean?"

Rocky: "Meant add strength to word. But some Eridians think also .....rude"

Grace: "So a swear word. I'm not giving you the human word for that."

Rocky: "Why not. Question."

Grace: "Because this human thinks they are rude too."

Rocky: "Do not be little 🎶🎶🎶 Grace. Give Rocky human swear word."

oh hey I wonder why they're called demon ducks maybe I'll just look them up and-

ah right okay

[hylianengineer]

This is... a peer reviewed publication. From the University of Copenhagen.

Professionals are calling these things the Demons Ducks of Doom, which is fair because the other options are "Bullockornis" or "bull bird." What terribly boring words for such an interesting creature.

If anyone's feeling sad today, here's a newly discovered species of octopus. Found in the waters off the Galapagos Islands, this little critter can fit in the palm of your hand.

[wrenhavenriver]

Strange new species of blue octopus discovered by scientists 5,900 feet underwater: "It's beautiful"

The new species, named Microeledone galapagensis, has a blue hue, which is believed to be the rarest color in nature.

The new species, named Microeledone galapagensis, stands out for reasons other than its blue hue, which is believed to be the rarest color in nature. The octopus appears to be the runt of the Megaleledonidae family, whose members are normally much larger and live in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica. "Its stubby little arms with only one row of suckers set it apart from most octopus we are familiar with," Voight said. Even among "other species with short little arms and a single sucker row, its coloration and smooth skin on the back surface separate it," she added. While the octopus is light blue on its back, underneath it is a "very deep purple," Voight said. "We think this color pattern helps keep it safe. If the octopus grabs a prey item that emits light, that light may attract predators that might then eat the octopus," she explained. "So the octopus puts its dark-colored web over the prey item, keeping itself safe."

Why does it have such EYES

[notaplaceofhonour]

Ryan Gosling’s career has just been one long quest to climb the Warner Bros water tower

[notaplaceofhonour]

that man has been trying to climb this tower since he was 16. he has asked multiple times, and every time they said no, but now he’s famous enough & variety was able to convince them to do a shoot on the tower. it all led here. it was all for this.

I’m obsessed with the implication that this was a coming-of-age ritual where a boy becomes a man, like a bar mitzvah

[thespiritofeon]

yo…. when jet breaks in the tea shop and accuses zuko and iroh of beinh firebenders….

do you think any of the patrons looked at zukos scarred face - obviously done by a firebender - and immediately think jet was an asshole? like

jet: hes a firebender!!!!

patrons, thinking about the backstory they concocted for zuko and iroh where their home was invaded by firebenders and they barely survived with their lifes so they could come and have a peaceful life selling tea in a city the war doesnt touch:

Jet: He’s a firebender!

The Patrons to the Tea Shop internally: You fucking stupid, sir? I think you might be stupid.

There's wholesome ships and there's toxic ships, but I'd like to coin 'sodium chloride ships', where the individuals involved are both horrible and dangerous people, but somehow being together renders them surprisingly well-adjusted (if a little salty).

[aromanticduck]

The opposite of this is a 'coke and mentos' dynamic, where the two people are generally chill and likeable but being around each other makes them both wild and chaotic.
