    Movies And All Things Film

    Sex scenes are fan service (which is a disgusting and accurate term I've had the misfortune of discovering by accident one day). Include nudity, "gratuitous" or otherwise, in that same bucket. Think Titanic and the Godfather. It's just base fan service and it's disgusting.

    Is The Physical Realm Analogous To A Simulated Reality?

    Thanks for starting it not at the beginning. That's a really realistic crucifix, wow. There's not much more obv and identifyingly and distinctively Christian, to someone who doesn't know Christianity, than carrying around a gigantic crucifix. (For those who do know Christianity, we know that...

    Giants players getting gay fatigue?

    Yeah. When he says "You can't force players to go against their own beliefs—their own beliefs!" another way of saying that is going against your conscience. The Left violates the freedom of conscience liberally, and they see nothing wrong with that. It was during Obama's era, wasn't it? when...

    Constitutional Monarchy

    Under Enyart's proposal, the king ought to look haggard and tired all the time, from working so much. Hopefully he doesn't need much sleep, to be completely refreshed, because otherwise, we pity his existence. He won't be able to ever really take a vacation, or even a weekend off from his...

    Trump's Iran "Deal"

    Unless we boots-on-the-ground invade them with the intention of occupying them. They seem to want a monarchy so we give them something like Bob Enyart's proposed constitution, which enshrines the freedom of conscience, and then, we watch them. We wait, and watch them. And whenever they have a...

    Constitutional Monarchy

    I'm not sure I agree because Enyart's proposal is the assertion in this case—@Clete is pointing out a defeater, which, if it obtains, does defeat Enyart's proposal. I think that you and he have been at loggerheads over whether his proposed defeater obtains—you've been trying to defeat his...

    Is The Physical Realm Analogous To A Simulated Reality?

    You're going to have to tell me. I was interrogating you to clarify what would motivate you to cease from sin, because I don't get it. Under your view, as best I can tell, there IS no reason really, to cease from sin, so long as you have faith. But then, if you don't have faith, then the same...

    Constitutional Monarchy

    It appears that Enyart's proposal allows for subjects to disobey the monarch based on conscience. Additionally if the monarch clearly abdicates there is a succession process. The details of what an implicit abdication might look like can be hammered out. But so long as the right of his...

    Constitutional Monarchy

    I'm pretty sure if Clete and JR would agree to some sort of constitutional element which explains what constitutes voluntary abdication on the part of the monarch, that the apparent chasm between them would be bridged, and easily. In Catholicism, for comparison, if a pope teaches manifest...

    Is The Physical Realm Analogous To A Simulated Reality?

    In your view, I'm not seeing why we would need to mortify the flesh, metaphysically speaking (to use a fake and gay word). Just because you're bored? nothing else to do? I can't find the motive in your view, for resisting temptation—again, metaphysically speaking. Is it just what Catholics...

    For Sincere Inquisitors ONLY: MAD Explained

    The everlasting Gospel is preached to Gentiles in Revelation 14:6. $$ Re 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, I wonder if it's related to the...
