I will say what being born and raised in Rome taught me: all religious people are dangerous and all priests, for which I have a very wide definition that includes namaste-firing yoga teachers and Elon Musk, are the worst individuals humanity could produce.

Religious people, including the ones that call themselves “atheists but spiritual”, may not be dangerous to you now, but they are then to be regarded as sleeping terrorist cells.

Very good media works depicting the concept are the movie The Mist and the series Midnight Mass.

Priests, in my personal definition, is any person appealing to irrational concepts to predate on people’s ignorance.

I can tell you that I was forbidden from doing that while playing during a vacation in Colorado, mere months before Columbine. This bullshit is ridiculous.

I would like to know what Modi said exactly to elicit such response. I know the guy is not of my liking already, but lately I am interested in knowing whether he is just playing as a relay for Putin or rather distancing himself from him.

It is not the point of this discussion in particular because I am talking about positions held on the basis of reasoning. The wet dreams of an American conservative are not exactly a bright example of logic.

That is not the same as making them cease to exist. A lot of people wish that was the case, but hundreds of martyrs, saints and not, prove them wrong.

Are you lost? Come with me, I will help you find your mommy.

Everyone answering me seems to not allow for the option that I may not counter the other person with an alternative I defend with reason. My dislike for that expression assumes that I find myself in a discussion over something worth defending with reason, otherwise there is no discussion in the first place.

Of all things, cooking a steak is the worst example maybe. Also, there is no reasoning around not allowing things or people to exist because, for one, they exist.

Except for it being called Blade Runner and not striking any resemblance to the original.

If it came out as it’s own thing I would have called it a good movie, although a bit bland and with poorly written characters, but as a sequel to Blade Runner, no way.

I will go against most opinions and I would say give it a try.

My friends who are into the book quoted much more from the second and style-wise I can tell you this: I LOVED the first one. I HATED the second one.

So, since the book seems really to be about deception, war and religion (the last 2 I despise to see in movies because I find them boring as hell), I could suggest you watch it.
