The adam and eve story, to me, looks more like an allegory than anything else <.<
You could take the cynical view of it being used to cover the asses of people claiming god loves us all, which isn't really one I think is all that true. Or a different one of people trying to explain why there is evil/sin in the world. Then I'm not sure how original sin factors into all denominations because I think that's mostly a catholic thing.
My biggest gripe with the line of thinking that redemption is simply granted through absolution/belief is that it doesn't do a whole lot of atonement for those sins. Saying Hail Mary 3 times and 3 Our Fathers in a confessional after you killed someone doesn't really make up for what you did imo (Hyperbole)
I'm sure there is a sect/denomination that sticks to the more palatable (to me) line of thinking that if you do something bad, you have to do something equally or more good to repent. You steal an apple one day, you give them two back the next and apologise. Something like that <.<
You have to be completely honest for atonement to work. Saying prayers isn't what gives you the forgiveness. You have to mean it, search your soul for complete forgiveness. Also you have to do everything you can to right the wrong. So you can't steal something and then not give it back. If you kill someone you confess, turn yourself in, and live the rest of your life in selflessness; serve god the best way you can. You will only know if you did enough once you are judged after death. At least that's what religious education taught me.

Mental illness can be tough. Hope those parents don't blame themselves. Best of luck.

I ate pudding and blood drooled out of my mouth nonstop. I'm pretty sure I lost a lot of weight since my diet consisted of 1ish cup(s) of pudding. Vanilla pudding is pretty good. For some reason I had 5 wisdom teeth so they put me under and cut them out. Also it was my first time taking heavy painkillers. When my pain was starting to end and it was time to switch to everyday stuff I felt like shit because the strong meds were amazing before. Getting my wisdom teeth out was...interesting. Good luck.

I recall the US threw a fit over the plans of a mosque being built on the grounds of the Twin Towers, which is clearly discriminatory over the fact that the only similarity between the terrorists and the mosque is religious belief (It's not a fucking "terrorist centre", jesus). Those just come to mind off the top of my head.
That's the worst idea to have ever been suggested. Sorry I try to remove all prejudice and hate from my thoughts but I'd throw a fit over a mosque being built on ground zero too.
It wasn't ON ground zero, it was a couple blocks away.

Oh I'm fine with that, I think I remember hearing about that mosque on the news. Dunno why people were angry over a mosque built a few blocks away. New York is dense and full of culture, a mosque built close by is bound to happen. On ground zero would be silly though

Men are always going to outnumber women in politics, that doesn't mean that they should or that it's good that they do.
Women can be a little bat shit crazy........especially on their periods >.>
Wow I completely forgot about that... Could you imagine working with that once a month. I'm gonna stop while I'm ahead before I look sexist lol.

Seven Really? Interesting. I liked it too, but I don't hear about the movie very often from people, let alone that they enjoyed the ending.
The main issue is lost potential. If they focused on the solid cast and killers psych (instead of keeping him a mystery) it could have been so much more. But the ending was great. It's one of those endings you expect in your gut once it gets closer but you just can't accept it. Then it hits you like a train. Morgan was also in his prime that film

House of Cards is badass, Kevin Spacey is great.
Halo Reach (when I think back it was a solid ending)
The Dark Knight
Seven
Fight Club (was not expecting the movie to be like that)
Gotta agree with Meta on 1984
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (lol)

Ave Deus Mechanicus!
One thing that I hope arises from all these newer AI films, is that people might eventually treat them with the respect they deserve when they are created. Literally the only reason the 'Man plays god' story goes awry is because of meatbags being dicks and the creator turning on the creation.
But, then if meatbags are still too imperfect to learn the equality or superiority of AI then I'd be quite happy with leaving behind a race of sentient machines as a more durable and permanent legacy than just a dried up husk of a planet and overpopulated hives of people everywhere.

I AM STILL UPSET OVER THE LACK OF A PROPER ENDING.
