The Nehor

God is always saying He is coming quickly and then just doesn’t show or says He will come tomorrow.

I want to be ready to start looting as soon as they’re gone.

There are roughly 10 times as many men mentioned by name in the Bible as there are women. The book of Mormon is much worse with a ratio of about 50 named men for every 1 named woman. So yeah, there is a trend.

They were just left off the list because it was assumed they would help and quietly work without needing the dignity of being acknowledged. A bit of a trend in scripture.

From C.S. Lewis: The first part I bolded is where a lot of people seem to trip up. Loving your enemies doesn’t mean pretending that if you dig down deep enough they are good people. They often aren’t. The second part I bolded is the one that I suspect many fail at. When I correct someone who believes a falsehood about someone they hate I often find them almost seething in resentment over being denied the fodder for their hatred. They seem determined to hang on to hatred even when it is shown the cause for the hatred is wrong. That is how you know someone has an appetite and a desire to hate. I don’t see this as giving every benefit of every doubt. I don’t have to assume good intentions when the person has demonstratively shown multiple times their intentions are malicious or vile or evil. It does mean you have to have an appetite for truth or, at least, accurate information if truth is too philosophical.

I have punched a fascist and more than once. To be fair they had it coming for more than just being a fascist but their being a fascist is still the main reason I punched them. I don’t punch fascists randomly because while I believe it is morally right to do so sometimes it isn’t legally allowed so you have to factor that into the decision as to when punching is appropriate. As to how much compromise and/or change is required or even allowed depends on the morality of what is involved. ”I think all Mormons should be tortured to death” for example doesn’t really make me think there is some kind of acceptable compromise or middle ground.

Change their minds. Unless they are fascists. If fashy, it is punching time!!!!!

Yes. Quite a few of them. “You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea. It is the cloud which thunders around everything that shines. Fame must have enemies, as light must have gnats. Do no bother yourself about it; disdain. Keep your mind serene as you keep your life clear.” “You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.” -Victor Hugo

But I like being lascivious.

Yet you are complaining about it. The garment checkers? Cool, I wish the victims success in pursuing justice.

Do you want them to reach out to you? Fun fact: When don’t renew your temple recommend the garments don’t spontaneously combust and no one comes to take them. When you buy them you own them. The Church can ask or tell you to stop wearing them but you can just ignore them. Lots of reasons to wear them: - Just out of habit - You like the feel - You want to wear them as an act of protest - You want to tick off members by wearing them. - To make sacrilegious porn - Performing demonic summoning rituals No idea. Probably some in there. No, my faith in most everything is pretty weak. It is in no way limited to energy fields generated by living things.

There isn’t that much coming in about people who aren’t actively attending. And? Do we know if he is formally a member? Also your supposition that he has a current temple recommend is based on…..what exactly? Ah, this is a brainless criticism then. Just throwing random stuff at the wall and hoping something sticks? I do not believe that.

Who is going to detect all the habitual criminals and revoke membership based on that?

True but that hasn’t been the case for most of history. For a long time the best bet was to grab all the stuff from other people to increase chance of survival with a partial exception about stealing stuff from your own tribal group since taking from them might mean being killed or ostracized. A lot of the primary causes for conflict are obsolete in our world but our biology hasn’t caught up and likely won’t.

It is when that desire for security and happiness requires the privation of others that things tend to go bad and it takes very little to get to that point.

Who do you think is upset about the papal robes caricature but is ignoring the garment mockery? Those are the ones you were insinuating were hyporcrites. Who are these hypocritical double standard havers?

Catholics are perfectly okay with this garment mockery?

Unless the “you should believe this” is based on objective evidence it is probably primarily an emotional appeal and likely a selfish one.

Likely result: You get blocked by some people. And what are you even going to say? A hot take that shooting people is wrong? May not want to go there unless you want to listen to people suggest sensible gun control legislation and increasing access to mental health care to decrease incidents like this.

No, part of the problem is you referring to it as “the problem” so your statement comes across as declarative and sounds like it means something. If you think about it though your statement is meaningless. You didn’t even define at all what the problem is. Gun violence? Some cultural issue about violence? My insinuating that an immoral grifter with heinous opinions is an immoral grifter with heinous opinions? My irrational obsession with finding comfortable hoodies? You won’t define it. You will only refer to it with vague euphemisms and a broad umbrella term. That is definitely part of “THE PROBLEM”. Oh well. It will probably be forgotten in a few weeks anyways. Either that or the President will send troops to Utah to ‘stop all the violent crime’ or whatever justification they pick this time. That could be fun/horrifying to watch.

Being able to shoot accurately does not mean you aren’t crazy. I hope they catch the shooter That person is dangerous.

Possible but that is real dedication. I find it more likely the shooter just took the shot when they were pretty sure they had it. Waiting for the ‘dramatic moment’ would be very stupid. It is of course possible that the shooter is very stupid and did wait. I don’t know.

I think the lesson is that it is much more poetic when you die by a method you actively advocate for. He doesn’t have a problem with the method, just the target. I can’t “both sides” this as equal. One group of people want to put down the rabid man-eating tiger and another advocates for preserving the man-eating tiger because it seems to eat more people they disagree with. When one of the primary pro-man-eating tiger advocates gets eaten by the tiger that is a twisted form of justice. It is the kind of thing that happens to villains at the end of stories so the hero isn’t responsible for it and the death feels deserved. I mean the whole thing seems almost deliberately staged to showcase this lesson. Someone asked him how many shootings there were in the US every year and he did his smug condescending thing with a counter question: “Counting or not counting gang violence?" Then he got shot. What a fitting line for him to go out on. I’ve complained that the writers for our timeline have been phoning it in for the last few seasons but that was quality drama. At least some of the writers are still trying.

I saw the video. If the tent behind him was a fully staffed top tier trauma center he still wouldn’t have made it.
