Re: Playing videogames leads to mass shootings

tell them that their evidence isn't true and discredit it

That can only happen if the "evidence" isn't true. Christians understand that because everyone is born revolting, full of sin, wilfully ignorant and supporting that ignorance with lies because no challenge can be met with actual evidence. If there were evidence it could be presented - but there isn't.

Until one day, something happened. What we'd accepted blindly in our sinful condition was shown to be built up on falsehoods. There was no evidence and the lies were discredited.

There could. have been no evidence and no lies either but that's not what we discovered. Therefore the lies were constructed deliberately and fed to us with the effect being.—.regardless of the intention.—.to keep us ignorant.

The Bible explains our innate sinful nature. Christians have accepted that secular ideals and the lies propped up by empiricism to support those ideals have been discredited. It's something every Christian has experienced. Clearly if those propositions were true they would be robust and withstand examination. Denying Christ and persisting in sin is the same as refusing to look at the evidence.

What evidence do you bring to show that we're wrong? Are you suggesting that Christians, who through Christ have overcome sin, are the deluded ones?

Romans 8:35-37 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Re: Playing videogames leads to mass shootings

Like I said, lots of people who have came come here before me have already did done that before. Unfortunately, you guys always tell them that their evidence isn't true and discredit it. So really, there is no point in me doing so if I am going to be met with the same results as them.

Translation: I have no evidence. And incidentally, Mrs (Ms? Mx? - who knows!) de Barriga is not "one of us". She's just some sort of academic who hangs around and disagrees with us. Believe it or not, she probably genuinely believes she's trying to help you.

blah blah blah ... which if you ask me is very immature to do so. So, to that guy: Just because you don't like or agree with what I said, it doesn't mean you should edit it or remove anything.

Re: Playing videogames leads to mass shootings

I would provide evidence, but from what I've noticed on here every time someone does show anyone on this forum evidence, it is discredited by you guys.

"Aw, gee, I wish people would tell me I'm right but they keep proving me wrong using facts and logic!" Why don't you try using evidence from a source we can't discredit: the KJV 1611 Bible. It is perfect (Psalm 18:30). That would be better for all of us.

So honestly, there is really no point to do so. You can take a look online if you guys really want evidence. Its all there.

And YOU can take a look between the pages of a Bible if you really want REAL evidence AND a chance at salvation and eternal bliss! You can read the glorious word of God online in its entirety here. I would recommend you begin immediately.

Also, not everyone will be interested in morbid and dark subjects. But there is that small part of everyone that is. Just some people will acknowledge it more. And some will act upon it and some won't.

You certainly seem to be, if your obsession with a certain television program about death and violence and all things Satanic is any indication.

Still looking like an adorable kitten he is.

Most people would make fun of you for being a virgin nerd obsessed with some "cute boys" on a TV show. They'd probably talk about how you've never been on more than a few dates with a real human male. They'd probably insinuate that the fingers on your right hand are considerably stronger than those on your left. Presumably, some mention of the fact that you are likely to die alone and unmissed except by your cats, who will promptly consume your rotting corpse as your immortal soul roasts in Hell would also be made.


But not by us! Christians are kind and loving (Ephesians 4:32). As a God-fearing man, I want you to marry a good Christian man and bear him soldiers for Christ, that you may be saved, as per Ephesians 5:22 and 1 Timothy 2:15.

Guess which one [vulgar gay slang deleted] out of the three them? Dean, no matter what anyone else says.

I assure you, no one wants to hear your homosexual slash fanfiction here. Please bear in mind Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13 in the future. Also, you need to stop worshipping this Supernatural program and committing lustful acts to yourself while viewing it. Remember Exodus 20:3. No other gods before God, whether they be golden calves or glowing TV sets. Get down on your knees and pray to Jesus! It's not too late for you, girl!


You'll be in my prayers,

Re: Playing videogames leads to mass shootings

Well, this is how a discussion works. (1) Person A presents arguments. (2) Person B presents counterarguments. Repeat steps (1) and (2) until (3) either person A or B concedes.

By not even attempting to participate in a discussion, you are skipping steps (1) and (2) and directly going to step (3), conceding the discussion.


Your point, that there is no point to have a discussion because you are going to lose it anyway, shows that you have no confidence in your arguments, or -even worse - you have no arguments, despite my helpful hints in this regard. If you were my student and wrote that on your essay, after I already gave you pointers for your arguments, I'd give you a big fat F. That means a failing grade in the United States. I'm really disappointed.

Like I said, lots of people who have came here before me have already did that before. Unfortunately, you guys always tell them that their evidence isn't true and discredit it. So really, there is no point in me doing so if I am going to be met with the same results as them.


Also, I can my picture was deleted. For what reason, I don't know. But maybe you guys should keep it up and also not edit anything I post in these threads. Like the one about Jack off Jill. Yeah, that Jeb guy removed all of the vowels, which if you ask me is very immature to do so. So, to that guy: Just because you don't like or agree with what I said, it doesn't mean you should edit it or remove anything.

Also, there's where my profile picture is from. An interview that the Shield did. From what year this is I can't remember. All I know is Roman still looks about the same as he does in this picture, the one with the tattoos.


The auburn haired one is Dean. His hair is now shorter, shaved on the sides of his head. And he now has a beard.


The two toned one, Seth. His hair is now just black/brown.


Guess which one bottoms out of the three them? Dean, no matter what anyone else says.

And like I said Basilissa. That picture is of Dean Ambrose. He is probably about 29 in that picture or 30. I'll make sure to let him know what you said but he probably wouldn't care. You should see what he looks like now.

Re: Playing videogames leads to mass shootings

We must remember that many different cultures came before the Bible was even created and I believe that whoever wrote the Bible was inspired to create their own version of previous cultures/mythologies.

Hello Miss Brose. This sounds like a very nice thesis statement. Now, an important part of any discussion is the act of providing actual evidence to support your thesis. You see, in a discussion, you cannot expect your interlocutors to just believe whatever you say, you have to be able to convince them with compelling arguments.

Now, I sincerely do want you to succeed, so here is a hint: you can start building your arguments by reading about Mesopotamian mythology.

Even ones that were created after were, too.

You need to clarify what you mean by that: did Christianity borrow from religions which were born afterwards? Or did later religions borrow from Christianity? Another hint: you could find arguments to support both views. You can start by looking up why we celebrate Christmas on Dec. 25 - please note that Mithraism was born either concurrently with or slightly after Christianity.

They all mean pretty much the same thing,

I am on your side in this debate, so here is another friendly hint: you should drop this part of your thesis because your strong universalist position is indefensible. Yes, you can argue that there are certain similarities between belief systems, which derive from the fact that any ideology - religion, philosophy, nationalistic ideology, communist ideology, you name it - serves similar purposes. All ideologies provide a framework which guides people's behavior and makes them content with their position in the overall social structure. You can look up Clifford Geertz, his definition of religion fits any ideological system equally. However, how different ideologies, including different religions, do that, varies quite considerably.

but because of being in different parts of world they are written in a different way.

A thesis which would be more defensible would go like this:


"While religions which developed in a single area often share characteristics due to borrowings between each other, religions which developed independently, without contact with each other, vary quite drastically."

Another hint: if you really want to look for similarities between religions which are very distant in both time and space, look up this article - while I personally am not 100% convinced by this argumentation, as it is more of a convincing speculation than a solid evidence-based thesis, it's really cool. Here's the map from this article which shows the dispersion of this hypothetically oldest myth on Earth:

With all these hints, I hope you will be able to engage in an actual debate, by (1) carefully crafting theses which are defensible and (2) providing thoughtful arguments to support your theses.

Re: Playing videogames leads to mass shootings

To Nobar King and Basilissa: Yeah, I do have knowledge on serial killers. Don't have an unhealthy obsession with them. Just like learning about different things. Its human nature to be interested in things that are dark and morbid.

Eww! I guess I lack human nature, then, since I'm really not interested in dark and morbid subjects.

Also Basilissa, you're way off topic on what I mean by that. You know as well as I do that there was older version of the Bible that you guys read and go by. Its just that there have been changes to made to it in the past,

Please show me the evidence. Do you seriously expect me to believe you on your word? Feel free to compare KJV, Hebrew version of the Torah, Nevi'im, and Ketuvim, with the Greek Septuagint, and then have a look at Greek originals of the New Testament, heck, even look at Vulgata if you wish, and then come back to me, showing evidence that there were major changes somewhere in the process of transcription and translation.

I'll be here all week.

I believe that whoever wrote the Bible was inspired to create their own version of previous cultures/mythologies.

We don't really care, what you believe, because you have no evidence for it (otherwise, you would use a different word from "believe," which implies agreeing with a statement without any empirical evidence to support it).

But yeah, I am a woman.

Well, sweetie, based on your profile picture you don't look like a woman - you look like a rather ugly teenage boy.

Also, I'm sure you wouldn't like people calling you a male when you are actually a female.

Just look at her picture. She looks like a woman, so it's really difficult for someone to commit such mistake.

Re: Playing videogames leads to mass shootings

Really? Oh Noes, has you been misgendered? If you were in Canada, you could probably sue for damages. Tell us dear, when did you transition and what are your pronouns?

Stop all the clocks, shut down the internet,
Someone's offended - pass the calumet,
This tragedy is more than we can bear!
Oh, sorry - what I meant was "We don't care".

Joanna, I was born female. Never once been a male. And even if I was Trans I wouldn't care that badly enough to sue. Also, anyone who is I respect their wishes to be called 'she' or 'he'. Though, I will admit, there are some that really do need calm the f*ck down if they are accidentally misgendered.


Also, I'm sure you wouldn't like people calling you a male when you are actually a female.

Also, you guys are getting my gender wrong I have a picture of a famous wrestler on my profile, Dean Ambrose. I just combined his and Roman's last names together. Reigns and Ambrose. ReignsBrose. Another way to do that is Ambreigns Dean and Roman's love for each other is everything and is the most pure ship out of the Shield ship.

Re: Playing videogames leads to mass shootings

To Nobar King and Basilissa: Yeah, I do have knowledge on serial killers. Don't have an unhealthy obsession with them. Just like learning about different things. Its human nature to be interested in things that are dark and morbid. People try to understand the minds of these killers. Police and detectives also do this. Shit, they have to deal with stuff like this on a daily occurrence. Are you going to tell me next that they have an unhealthy obsession when they are just trying to keep towns and cities safe?

Also Basilissa, you're way off topic on what I mean by that. You know as well as I do that there was older version of the Bible that you guys read and go by. Its just that there have been changes to made to it in the past, and now we have the version that you guys believe is the true and only word of God. We must remember that many different cultures came before the Bible was even created and I believe that whoever wrote the Bible was inspired to create their own version of previous cultures/mythologies. Even ones that were created after were, too. They all mean pretty much the same thing, but because of being in different parts of world they are written in a different way.


Dennis: What about the police and detectives? They're knowledge about this about this stuff is disturbing? Just because I have knowledge of this stuff it doesn't make anything about me disturbing or suspicious. People hear about this through the news and online. Also, I stay away from dark web. That place is not for me because I have no interest in doing illegal things and am not sick piece of shit of like those people.

Re: Playing videogames leads to mass shootings

Brother Nobar, I've heard that one of the things the authorities look for, when they're checking out suspicious people's internet usage, is an unhealthy obsession with serial killers.

That's true, and sometimes all it takes is for the word to get to the authorities for them to start digging and finding the bodies.

[Basilissa]

Re: Playing videogames leads to mass shootings

You sure know a lot about serial killers.

He sure does, Brother, and that does scare me a little.

The Holy Bible. Yeah, you guys follow an version of it, but you know I like to think that there was one before the one that you guys follow.

And I would like to think that I could find rough diamonds digging in my backyard.

Unfortunately for both of us, wishful thinking doesn't work.
