No hard feelings and I am neither, how dare!

It means you subscribe to the Protestant heresy Serious answer though: if you are a Trinitarian Christian (believe in the Trinity) but are not a Catholic or Orthodox Christian, you have a good chance of being a reformed Christian!

I had a spicy Hawaiian pizza once. One of the best I've ever had!

Well, I can't, now! It would spoil the older, better film!

I mean, it's basically history. You can't spoil history. Besides, the movie ends like a movie, so you won't have spoiled yourself by reading the book. Now, reading one of my more popular posts from years ago, on the otherhand....THAT will spoil the final scene of the movie! And hopefully you're watching the older black and white one. If it's the colored remake, then your history teacher has failed you.

Refer to my first post: if it brings you happiness, vegans are against it!

It still requires the use of spren through the nahel bond at the very least. The vegans I'm talking about are frustratingly pedantic *guffaw* Now, Hemalurgy might be all right.

Makes sense to me, since these same vegans don't drink beer because of yeast. If they end up eating leaven bread, well.... they need to think about their ideology more! @Frustration Human labor is fine, it's animal exploitation that's wrong to the groups I'm talking about. Now, how that applies to food that needs to be pollinated...well, it's infuriating and expensive to provide food to these folks, sooo I basically leave it up to them.

Doesn't soul casting require the use of spren? We all ready know honey isn't vegan because it utilizes bees, and there are certainly classes of veganism that consider mushrooms to not be vegan (which is to say: definition of life/animal is perhaps loose enough to include spren). Anyway, because soul casting uses spren, any food from it could plausibly be considered not vegan, even grain. An chouta is not vegan because it brings joy to people, and a tenant of veganism is to replace joy in this life with misery

Yeah, that happens with Evangelion. Sometimes, it all *claps* returns *clap* to nothing. It just keeps tumblin' down, tumblin' down, tumblin' dooooownnnn!

Look, all I'm saying is that the greatest TV show should also have the most Neon Genesis Evangelion references. Avatar has, like, half a reference. Owl House currently has 4. Big Bang Theory has none. I mean, it's mathematical!

Have you seen the preview for next week's episode? It's going to be crazy!

Her latest episode appearance was fantastic!

Ah, but Amphibia is about to be a complete show in a couple weeks!

I never forgot I still stand by my statement. Mistborn Era 2 evolved from a silly side story to something considerably more Cosmere aware. That Cosmere awareness and all the ways it can potentially interact with Stormlight does not give it a "break from Stormlight" quality. And ultimately, Stormlight is certainly the one project that took precedent over all others. As far as the quality of Skyward and its sequels, I don't care so long as it "refreshes" him and keeps him out of contractual problems. Afterall, I'm not reading them!

As someone who was "famously" upset about the delay of The Lost Metal, it's important to blame the right projects! Skyward, I do not blame. Apocalypse Guard? That timesink of a project ate up time and because he was under contract still had to provide a YA title (the first Skyward). The other Skyward books follow his rhythm of "write something different to not get burned out" projects, so I don't blame them either. He wrote the Lost Metal during our before the Secret Projects, so I don't blame them either. The year he failed to write the Lost Metal "when it should have been written", he said in the State of Sanderson that he could have written that or a Magic the Gathering novella. He chose to do the latter for free. So, the main projects he wasted time on that led to the delay of the Lost Metal are The Apocalypse Guard and Magic the Gathering. Assuming he wasn't lying and it turned out he wanted to release the Lost Metal after certain plot developments in a certain fourth Stormlight book. Which, if that turned out to be the case, fine, I guess there isn't much you can do except lie or say, "hey, these books point to a major future plot point but please don't think too hard about it!"

Been going through the Phineas and Ferb series on Disney+

I, too, would like to clarify that I don't want to derail the thread but will do so anyway to say I am not, nor will be, part of a DM conversation on the matter

I'll flat out say this is the sense that I meant it in my post.

Of course, if you include the "belief in the Bible", you'll end up excluding a whole lot of people that were undoubtedly Christian, such as those who were killed by Nero for being Christian before biblical content was codified a couple centuries later, let alone circulated in any meaningful sense. It would also exclude apostles like Peter and Paul, which seems kinda absurd. Now, that's just Christian as a general label. There are certainly categories of Christian where belief in the Bible is necessary. So someone could be Christian without believing in the Bible, but they wouldn't be Protestant Christian. As far as "same Christ", the concept of Christ is also not consistent across the categories of Christianity across its entire history. You have a Trinitarian Christ (which you subscribe to) and a non-Trinitarian Christ (which I guarentee a bunch of posters in this forum believe in) as a general idea. But there's also the fully human Christ, the fully divine Christ (Nestorians and some Eastern Christians), the Catholic/Orthodox Christ (fully human and fully divine, "without confusing the two natures, without transmuting one nature into the other; without dividing them into two separate categories; without contrasting them according to area or function. The union does not nullify the distinctiveness of each nature. Instead, the properties of each nature are conserved and both natures concur in one person."), a Transcendent human Christ, a...well, you should be getting the picture now. You might be able to say someone is a different category of Christian from, say, yourself, but you can not say if someone is not a Christian however wild or unorthodox their particular Christ beliefs are.

The issue I find with such statements is that it's fairly close to a "no true Scotsman fallacy." Which is there because of another fallacy: the idea that being Christian means you are morally good. And that is simply not the case. In observation or theologically. I feel, in fact, there is plenty of Christian theological arguments that would argue that humanity is, baseline, an immoral, fallen race of damned souls that are only elevated from their decrepit state by the actions, choice and grace of Christ. Which, granted, was an unnecessary (but fun! ) tangent to say: No one can say someone is not a Christian because they find that person abhorrent or does abhorrent things. Being a Christian means you believe in some sort of Christ, and you can't really tell someone, "I believe in Christ!" that you somehow know that they do not.

Watching Moon Knight myself. So far, it isn't hot garbage.

One really shouldn't shortchange the moderators. They are probably watching this thread like a hawk, waiting for me to mess up... but I'm too slippery for them! They'll never make the charges stick!

Those tend to be sent out later

Well, it was really touch and go there, but the Kickstarter managed to get funded!
