He didn’t leave any food for them, if I was them I would feel ripped off. Joke

@Zincy
 
yes, I heard of “blind,deaf and dumb”.

@Hali the Emoji girl
 
Yea, it meant to be silent or mute.
 
 
The purpose of being silent is so as not to upset those who can no longer speak. They’ll feel more welcomed.

@Zincy
 
I know, you explained in your other post that’s why I edited my post but thanks for explaining it anyway.

@Zincy  
Okay… a little off topic.  
But since you’ve mentioned serving a meal with the departed.  
That reminded me of this Chinese short film…  
Shit legit made me tear yo!

@Zincy  
Why the hell are you eating from a bowl?

@Scrabbleman
 
So as not to spill rice everywhere.

@Zincy  
WHY ARE YOU SPILLING RICE EVERYWHERE?! It’s not that hard to eat.

@Scrabbleman
 
When you have very tiny plates, everything is hard to eat. They’re much smaller than they look. They’re also glazed ceramic, so they’re slick if anything has the slightest liquid content.
 
I need to buy better plates.

Okay, could someone who is more inclined in Christianity answer a question I have?
 
*clears throat* How was Sodom and Gomorrah not genocide?

@Zincy  
I can’t believe an adult such as yourself never bought any big plates. Like, what if you have guests?

@Zincy  
You have quite a book collection there…

@Selaphiel
 
That is only one small section.

@Zincy  
I imagine you have trained your conjuration spells to lvl 90 or something.

I made a promise I’d go to hell.
 
That hell was on earth.

To anyone here who is religious or spiritual, how do your religious views effect your politics?

@Lord Hypno
 
They don’t. The religious extremists on the political right are holding us back.

Fuck you, God.

If our gods are real and are truly our lords and saviors, how come they never intervene with some of the most vile human atrocities in history?

@SombrLiz  
People keep expecting an obvious intervention.  
There’s a saying. God works in strange ways.
 
Then again. Believe what we want to believe.

@SombrLiz  

 
@Selaphiel  

 
I think it was called “Deism”, but I personally believe that, while God created everything, He doesn’t have really deep involvement with His creation. He kinda just lets it do its own thing.

@SombrLiz
 
Because their either evil and like to watch us suffer for entertainment or they don’t care because it doesn’t involve them and our lifes are insignificant to them.

@Random-Rambling  
I heard “deism” and came.
 
I actually believe in deism because it’s what makes sense the most to me. Our miracles and suffering, all of which are our own making. Not some higher order being. God simply provides us the tools and materials to do so.
 
“God has no free will.” This phrase is what I would say the core concept of my beliefs.

@Scrabbleman  
Free will is a concept meant for “creation” anyway, in respect to the relation between divine decree and human agency, usually in terms of cause and effect, intention and results.
 
God doesn’t have that problem over creation. God has full control over it.
 
However, God is bound by their own divine nature, and cannot contradict themselves.  
That’s why the omnipotence paradox never bothered me because I am okay with saying that there are things that God simply cannot do, namely things that make God no longer God.
