Hiiiiiii.

Christians are routinely taught that god is not just loving ("benevolent") but all-loving ("omnibenevolent"). Here's the Pope talking about how "tender" and "astonishing" and "gratuitous" god's love is. 4:8 of the First Epistle of John in the Bible – part of the de jure and de facto source of truth about god for Christianity – reads: "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love."

Sure we could reduce that down to "omnibenevolent as long as you love him back", as e.g. Proverbs 8:17 says "I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me." But even then, god heavily abuses those who love him. The Bible tries to justify this bizarre cosmic domestic abuse in the book of Job, but it's one of the most ridiculous, fucked up stories imaginable where god literally bets with Satan that he can fuck up one of his most devoted follower's life as much as he wants and he still won't turn away from him.

How did I just notice that the upside-down version of "up" is "dn" which could be seen as an abbreviation of "down"?

No, no, you see it's free will. Which makes total sense, because god can't possibly foresee what we're going to do, which is a problem omniscient beings definitely struggle with. Or if he can foresee what we're going to do and he is omniscient, then he's not omnibenevolent because he had exact foreknowledge of what was going to happen and let it anyway. After all, why "test" if you already know the precise outcome if not to watch people suffer for fun? If you need people to learn lessons, why can't you just magically teach them those lessons? And if you're not capable of this, how are you omnipotent?

Pick at most two of the three; you can't have all of them.

It's so fucking comical to me too that they call it "god's will" when children die of the most horrifying, excruciating diseases imagnable long before they're capable of understanding what's happening, but when a pregnant woman makes an informed decision not to die during childbirth over a shrimp living inside her taco, that's a bridge too far, and the all-mighty creator and ruler of the universe is very disappointed in you for killing one of his children when he was powerless to stop it.

Sweetie, maybe your fairytale sugar daddy's will isn't all that benevolent. 💀

"Paint me like one of your French squirrels."

No, it's an edited shitpost of the neo-Nazi's comic. He did not coin the term.

Nah, she made a really deep cut.

The judge sentenced him to 33 1/3 years. In Minnesota, defendants typically serve two-thirds of their sentence in prison and the rest on supervised release.

Castillo had eight prior felony convictions, including second-degree assault for beating another woman with a hammer in 2014. At the time of the knife attack, Castillo was on intensive supervised release and had a warrant out for his arrest after he failed to show up at a court hearing on charges that he assaulted two correctional officers at the Stillwater state prison in 2020.

Fingers crossed this worthless piece of shit dies in prison, but it doesn't seem likely if he'll only serve about 22 years. I'm usually pretty heavy on rehabilitation, but this one seems too far-gone. Hopefully they can at least get him a ton of psychiatric help and counseling before he's released on the slim chance he can change.

And if you haven't used it in a while, we recently made a blog post giving a rundown of the changes leading up to our most recent major release.

"Charitably", I assume because they're massive racists that they're referring to the West and Central African origins of Haitians as an ethnic group and not confusing where Haiti is, but Nazis still deserve to be jailed over their disgusting ideology regardless of if they know what continent Haiti is on.
