I was awakened from my dogmatic slumber not too long ago. I hope that I have finally found the soporific to put me back to sleep.

Why do people ever think they're opinions are humble when they say "in my own humble opinion"?

So that others percieve them as percieving themselves as humble.

Maybe I'm just someone that has ideas bounced off of them, rather than an originator.

I'm watching Wrath Of The Dragon God, and during the scene where "Old Wizard Man" takes a bath while talking about how invigorating Melora is (Isn't melora a god?), that the B-plot regarding the Wizards in Ishmir is about Melora trying to get into the Mystic Theurge Pr C, but having to take cleric levels first, and being really sucky at it.

Also, the Elf Wizard has a familiar in the little dove thing that is only around when they need it, and her only lines about it are "She's my friend since childhood." and then it dies. Ha. You lost XP, sucks to be you.

Also also: How unoptimized/low-level must Dorian the Cleric have been, right? I mean, Elf Wizard can dispell Lich level spells!

Also also also: Melora's hot.

Thats that D&D movie that isn't that bad, right? If so, I didn't really watch it all the way through.

I was watching "Why do people laugh at creationists" videos on Youtube, and a question about the biblical genesis came to mind:

God punished Adam and Steve by sending them out of the paradise... to the eart as we know it. If they weren't supposed to go aainst god, and never leave the garden, why did god create the earth? All the continents, the deserts, the mountains, the Fjords and and trees and rocks and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and water in the first lace?

Some people believe God never intended Adam and Eve to stay in the garden, making those sections of Genesis pretty much a foregone Batman Gambit.

Though, if that doesn’t work, everything outside the garden could be God’s fail pile.

^ That is also a possibility.

The Garden of Eden sounds like an awfully boring place, anyway.

It’s rather unlikely that Adam and Eve had any concept of boredom prior to eating the fruit of knowledge.

Granted, if humans stayed in the garden, it’d be an entire race that does nothing for their entire life but eat, sleep, and have copious amounts of sex.

…Actually, that a pretty strong point for the garden.

I think the modern concept of Heaven has gotten a bit more esoteric. Comparable to Nirvana.

The problem is people can’t possibly conceive of how Nirvana actually is, since they have no experiences that could be properly compared.

Which is partly why it sounds horrifying to me. The idea of a Heaven created and ruled by God horrifies me even more though.

If that’s how you feel, on the plus side, you’re probably not meeting the criteria for getting into heaven. tongue
