I absolutely LOVED the original legacy Rust (even with the hacking) So I am looking forward to this!

The Christianity I was taught requires remorse, acknowledgement, admission of guilt, and penance to achieve that. This woman has shown none of these things.

to number 1 - the scientific community would in all likelihood say that they found “life” on Mars if they were to find a group of congealed cells as you so eloquently dehumanize a human being.

number 2: this is just Schrodinger’s Cat formed into a different fact set. The human fetus is either a “potential life” or…

and if NASA were to find a “congealed mass of cells” on say Mars, then what would you say about its discovery?

Or what are your thoughts on if someone murders a pregnant woman? Double murder or nah?

Or the Verizon episode. Tina Fey, directly down the camera: “Can we have our money now?”

I can’t believe no one mentioned the Diet Snapple episode of 30 Rock.

You can’t downplay Jesus’s suffering too much though, it’s to show what human beings are capable of, we did the worst possible thing to the best possible person, so maybe next time you find yourself wanting to be cruel to someone think back to Jesus’s suffering and think twice.

I can appreciate that. What I’ve read indicates that he was really spiraling out of control and has made amends. That in no way excuses anything he’s done, though. I can also completely understand your skepticism. I’m pretty forgiving by nature, however I also know that past behavior meant something and skepticism is…

I am not saying the two are linked. The issue is not that you can have a history of substance abuse and NOT do those things. The real issue is that Mel Gibson DID, and moreover (to me, at least) what he’s done since then and who he is as a person now. Your background is no doubt different than Gibson’s.

My only point…

His failings what they are, the guy knows how to tell a story. Just the little setup of the pissed off Roman hitting the table with the scores and having to pry them loose before going to work on Jesus is a horrifying, economical way to show how awful this is going to be. If I was interested in seeing anything else he…

Well spoken, sir!

You’re a bit off with the Catholic bit. They are pretty into the whole resurrection bit. “On the 3rd day, he rose” 

You’re right, I should have tied in the connection with the meaning of the Eucharist. But Protestantism, for all its emphasis on penal substitution, doesn’t have anything analogous to Catholicism’s doctrine that the Mass is actually propitiatory. In fact, the difference in Eucharistic theology is probably key to what…

I disagree with your dichotomy, even if it’s from a broad brush. Catholics (and the Orthodox) and Protestants are not capable of splitting the two moments. If not killed, he couldn’t be raised. If not raised, his death was in vain. Neither could be “more important” than the other in any of their theologies. The…

My church played clips of it it at their Good Friday service one year set to “Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence. My wife and I had a really hard time stifling our laughter. Not at the movie, but at how incredibly cheesy that song is.

Not to be contrarian, but...well, what the hell.

While nothing said about Gibson was factually incorrect, it would have been nice to at least mention Gibson’s substance abuse problems. That in no way excuses any of that, however it does provide some context besides merely branding him the biggest of assholes who was…

lmao. Thank you for this.

There you go being non-militant again.

If you think I’m gonna eat that crap, then you can get in your self driving car and program it to go to hell.

When vegan protesters gathered outside Toronto’s Antler Kitchen & Bar on Friday with a banner reading “Murderer” and chants of “you’ve got blood on your hands,” the owner responded by carving a deer leg inside the front window of his restaurant.
