Not even Judas was punished for betraying Christ. After all, even Peter did it three times. If he was punished, it was for the sin of despair in committing suicide, because such an act arrogantly presumes a human is capable of committing a sin too great for God's mercy.
What I’m getting from this is that you’re an atheist in belief, but distance yourself from the dominant alternative hypotheses for creation, et vet because you don’t find them to be things you want to defend.
I vote for "Smug NPC"
Between his description of how his sense of feel is enhanced “when drinking”, the anger and belligerence, as well as the impaired train of thought, I wonder if his Molly use has been significantly higher (and more frequent) than what he’s admitted to. Consequently, the significant use has permanently rewired his brain.
Seems like a good time to mention the No Regrets Men's Conference Nick almost certainly attended on Feb. 4. (I didn't bother to post about it then bc I didn't think Kiwi would really care. (Who knew - there are some low-key theologians here.).
What I'm getting from this is you can't fathom someone not having a faith to the point where you're willing to derail a thread trying to corner someone into some kind of faith or ideology of your own invention.
It's a look instantly recognizable to anyone that's had to deal with an annoying smug alcoholic that thinks he knows far more than anyone he meets.
Someone should make a jak out of it.
It is derail-y, but I think in an appendix kind of way, since religion is an area where Rekieta comes off as having bait-and-switched his core audience.
That's not actually true. There are many strains of atheism, from so-called "strong" atheism which positively asserts the lack of existence of a deity, to "weak" atheism which is simply a lack of belief, and anything in between, such as simply believing that it is highly unlikely that there is a deity, without positively asserting nonexistence. Many famous atheists (including Dawkins) are in the latter category.
I have yet to see any proof for the existence of a god or gods, which is why I am an atheist. Its not that hard.
"God" is a giant space crystal thing. When we die we go back to it to be reincorporated into it. We are all part of the giant space crystal sent out to experience every facet of creation.
Because he drinks too much, and doesn't sleep.
I know that he did work at a bank in the past, but I assume that was more of a "bank teller" or "branch manager" sort of thing (ie clerical/customer service) rather than an actual job as a banker. I doubt he has much insight to offer from his perspective as a bank employee. The people who make the actual decisions for banks sit in glass offices inside nondescript towers in New York, lording over armies of number-crunching Asians who actually know what a "derivative" is. The people you see in the branch don't even need to know arithmetic.
Pray tell Nick what are these happenings? Your viewership numbers dropping lower than Our Wife’s tits after birthing your 5 humans? The absolute spectacle you make out of yourself in public because you’re a Molly addled alcoholic? The utter disgrace you’ve made out of your family name by publicly advertising your unapologetic fascination with a silicone ball cage?
