And they are going to be very good friends in hell
Perhaps even roommates
:m
Me, an intellectual: We are already in hell.
Not really
I feel like Hell might just be slightly better.
I’m currently making plans to colonize it.

Ex?! Did the clowns in the circus break your spirit?
I got a job…
Also, FPS death is usually how I lose, or tantrum spirals. I did things the boring way, so invaders could not get in to start a fight in the first place. I was also really bad at managing the smith, and organizing an actual army. My mountain home would usually be a hollowed out mountain of massive hospital rooms, engraved way too much for it’s own good. The game starts to run too slow to do anything with it, because well, massive sprawl, and poor management skills.
I was decent at controlling the water flow though, and making it work to my wishes. Even had trapdoored entrances to the channels, so dwarves could dig, clean up whatever mess they could, and get out. The dumbest thing I did, was dump the water inside caverns, flooding the very thing I was supposed to mine with junk-filled water. I had shallow pools of water near entrances for training swimming of dwarves, and cleaning them off from any…unfortunate circumstances.
I was really bad at trade, and would give away a lot of valuable items, for a handful of ones I can’t really make, manipulating their moods in the process though. They would then come to find that the goods they wanted, aren’t there next season, or that I can’t actually buy what I ordered. I hated that part, loading the stuff into the trade area sometimes took longer than the caravan would care to stay.
Wtf did I write all this for, oh well.
But did you have suicidal alcoholic cats?

I found it an interesting read. As a huge RimWorld fan, I can relate to some parts and stare in blank confusion at others.
If you like Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress is kinda the OG of that genre. I would say Hack or Nethack, but those games don’t take into account nearly as much as Rimworld or DF.
Look up “Dwarf Fortress cats dying bug alcohol,” that should get any Rimworld fan interested in DF.
BTW, you don’t have to buy the version on Steam. The OG text version is free, and there are tons of tilesets if you don’t like the text graphics.
“Wait. I’m going to your hell? …haha, checkmate, I don’t believe in your hell!!”
“Wow, me too! Let’s go and fuck some shit up!”“Wow, me too! Let’s go and fuck
some shit up!, so that we are going to both hells!” XD
“If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life’s exciting variety, not something to fear.”
- Gene Roddenberry
That kind of statement can only apply to ideas and attitudes that also respect diversity. Christianity and Islamism taken at face value are exclusionary of all other religions. A “true” believer therefore has a moral imperative of destroying diversity in order to protect other people.
This is not saying all or even most followers of these religions will follow that path, but that they need to water down or ignore some of the core theology to fully operate in a diverse society.
Actually there are schools of theology in both of these religions that enshrine diversity and embrace interoperability with other religions. They are just not mainstream because guess what? Mainstream religion is owned by power, and all that power is fascist essentially. Sure enough there are no true believers in anything but power in mainstream religions, start stripping them down on theology field and they reveal it.
I mean, just have a look at any works by Hakim Bey and Tim Morton’s latest book.
Christianity is arguably the historically most successful attempt at centralizing power. And it was a political tool from start.
ah, but if you completely ignore all that you can pretend it’s just a harmless religion
It’s fairly contradictory, actually. With the whole punishing the children of sinning fathers, then having a verse that says that the sins of the father are not the sins of the son, or something like that.
TL;DR, depends on if you are old testament?
The problem is not in the old testament. Mainstream judaism doesn’t claim you need to a jew to achieve salvation.
A “true” believer therefore has a moral imperative of destroying diversity in order to protect other people.
I mean they have a moral imperative to try within whatever limits their interpretation of the religion imposes, but that’s it. It’s not like these religions imply, say, putting followers of other religions in reeducation camps. One can fully operate in a diverse society while still thinking “I’m right and everyone else is wrong when it comes to this thing,” for the same reason having political opinions isn’t mutually exclusive with diversity. BTW Islam =/= Islamism. The former is a religion; the latter is a political ideology based on the religion.
When you believe that if someone disagrees with you they are going to be tortured for eternity, burning books sounds a lot like a lesser evil.
Well, until my idea is to burn all people called Gene for whatever reason AND I somehow get the means to act upon my flawless idea. Then it’s not so delightfuland exciting anymore, at least not for the Genes.
Thanks Gene
I don’t know about Islamic texts, but the Bible doesn’t really say much about hell. If you want to learn about hell, you have to go to preachers. Fire and brimstone is their bread and butter. The more they talk about hell, the more money they make.
the entire modern idea of “hell” pretty much just comes from dantes inferno, which is funny cause that was basically just fan fiction dante wrote so that he could pretend to interact with the girl next door he never got a chance to talk to
Even the “lake of fire” Jesus talks about is a reference to burn pits outside of town where they got rid of garbage. Almost as if taking everything in the bible literally is the wrong lense.
Exactly. There is no actual “hell” in the bible, it’s a lake of fire, which is not even a lake. Christians have no clue what their bible actually says. Spoiler Alert: there is no satan.
From what I understand, the early church didn’t teach anything extra extra-biblical about hell. Until the Roman Empire made it the official religion in 380. Coincidence?
It sure does suck that everybody who believes in an afterlife goes to Hell when they die. I personally don’t believe it to be the case, but that doesn’t change it from being the reality.
