Despite the fact that this was impossible. Even the Ghanderflaffles knew it.

The problem that I've come to find when trying to prove God's existence is that the "evidence" people try to use for - or against - his existence can easily be used by those arguing something different. I believe in God, and so while I see the wonders of creation as manifestations of His divine love and power, someone else might choose to look at those same things and think how lucky they are that the rolling dice of the universe and the mechanics of physics and evolution put such a beautiful thing in the world. Because according to the understanding of science we have, the things we see could just come about by natural processes. It's our choice whether to put a creator behind those or not. I choose to, but that's my choice. I think everyone here can agree that nature is beautiful, whether it came from a divine Creator or not. I think we should focus on that in light of disagreement. The real reason I believe in God is because of experiences I've had, and experiences I've heard from others, that can't really be explained in any other way. But the issue is that those are experiences that I've had. My personal proof of God isn't going to work to prove his existence for anyone else, not on its own. It's like tasting salt; someone can't really describe it to you; you have to have it for yourself. I do understand the reasons for not believing in a creator...and I'll be honest, if I hadn't had the experiences I'd mentioned above, my position in my faith would be far less stable, if not nonexistent. And I still have plenty of questions. But I believe that someday they'll be answered. And that peace of mind is enough for me. But yeah. I digress.

Plot starts happening somewhere around 70. And plot really starts to happen past that.

...Did you read all of S1?

Gets Inception. Inserts a god-killing sword.

I finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Considering the dark tone of the rest of the book, I actually loved the ending, and found it appropriate. It's a dark, gruesome book, but has a beautiful message. I also just read Howl's Moving Castle, because I'm planning on watching the Miyazaki film soon. It was a simple book, but really fun. I can see why it's so popular. I'm going to see if I can get my hands on Red Rising and The Will of the Many to read next. I've heard good things about both those books. Though I do need to do some research first. I wanted to read Fourth Wing, but as far as I can tell there's some content in there that I don't really want to read...which is sad, because it sounded really cool.

And also Franklin. But we

Hm. I see.

Are you sure?

"A lightsaber is a super-heated gas, I.E. a plasma, but a strange force causes it to act like a solid. The blade is virtually invincible, because it's not actually a solid, but rather a gas." - @Channelknight Fadran's first words on the Shard. As far as I can tell.
