It's funny. I found the "New Atheists" helpful at the beginning of my deconversion, but I find my patience for them wearing thin as time goes on. Some of their arguments are still quite useful, but I honestly care about them so little as people that it bores me when people bring them up as spokeswhatevers for atheism. More later.

I don't think I was looking for a particular video/response. I just wanted to see if anyone remembered bringing him up and asking me for my thoughts. I cannot remember if the conversation I had was about him or someone else, or even if was here at GSC or some other site.

Trying to remember if someone tried to turn me on to these videos some time ago. This guy has been popping up on my Facebook feed A LOT as a scholar of the Bible and religion. He comes from a Mormon background, which initially made me suspicious, but he seems to be refreshingly honest about his approach to the evidence he has. Anyone have thoughts?

So apparently one character figured it out multiple times, but the first time was a reveal to the audience as well.

I assure that quote is the best clue possible. There won't be a better one.

That was not it. Good guess though. By the way if you never watched the show, this spoils the first season's climax. But it's also common knowledge enough to be a meme. No one would board the train to the Bad Place. Why not?

George is right

Wrote out a long reply. Decided it wasn't worth it. Deleted it. Main idea: WW said what I was trying to say about "originals" and I would gladly adopt his language given the original question was about what HE meant.

If it's not human, it's...?

Nope

Right setting. But not lost. Knew exactly where they were.

"Well... some of you may have figured out we're not home yet, we're only half way there. Mother's interrupted the course of our journey. She's programmed to do that should certain conditions arise. They have. It seems that she has... intercepted a transmission of unknown origin. She got us up to check it out." "A transmission? Out here?" "What kind of a transmission?" "Acoustical beacon. It, uh... repeats at intervals of twelve seconds." "S.O.S.?" "I don't know." "Human?" "Unknown."

I'm going to butt in and say that Christians and non-Christians alike have used the term "original" loosely in reference to the existing Greek manuscripts, and no one is suggesting these were the first manuscripts written by the original authors. We have copies of copies of copies, and while there are hundreds of discrepancies, most are minor. I wouldn't get hung up on the use of the word "original" in this context.

Kit was a model of discernment and fairness. The best Mod in GSC history. And a wonderful model of the best Christian values.

Appreciate that but i would like feedback.

Sigh. Click on the link. It's 100 percent political. Crowdsourcing instead of taking unilateral action: Is it even possible to have this topic without getting political? Does this post cross the line for our site? What say ye?

You're all off topic. Deleting. ... ... ... Just kidding.

Really? I couldn't take it any longer. Lord! I was crazy When the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave. I started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave That I would love you till the end of time. I swore! That I would love you till the end of time. So now I'm praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you, I don't think that I could really survive. i'll never break my promise or forget my vow, but God only knows what I can do right now I'm praying for the end of time; that's all that I can do. Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you.

So this has to be a 60s-70s cop show. It's not SWAT. Maybe The Rookies? Adam-12?

"What about our lives, you son of a b*?" "I repeat, all other priorities rescinded."

You Make My Dreams Come True Darryl Hall and John Oates. Well I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday.

2023 adopted a baby girl Hi Steve!!!

I tried to limit mod action to posts that either WERE political or responded to posts that were political. There were some that responded to a response to a response... i tried to keep anything that lost all trace of politics. IF a post had some politics but not all, the whole post went. I didn't vet the video for political content. The title told me it probably wasn't, so i restored it on request. Not claiming to have exercised this responsibility perfectly. But if i were being strict i could have stopped the thread at the first mention of Butler, PA.
