Static

This song evokes a lot of things in me. Anger, sorrow, inspiration, but over all of those, it evokes chaos and extreme dissonance. It's by far my favorite song so far in the whole trance genre. Resonate with the chaos: http://youtu.be/qzRRADSoVDA

For me, it goes back to the mobile version every time I visit the website in a new tab/browser on my phone. You might try closing and then re-opening the tab.

Hmm...Old Testament morality issues...a toughie indeed. Ah, I have just the book for you (starting to feel like Twilight Sparkle saying this). The answer to every one of your observations can be found in it. It's When Critics Ask: A Popular Handbook on Bible Difficulties by Norman Geisler and Thomas Howe. I went ahead and looked up some of your inquiries and have provided the answers to supplement my knowledge. I didn't look up all of them, as the book is 604 pages long. -I almost didn't have to look this one up. When God flooded the earth, destroying a creation He earlier considered "very good" and then one He declares "He is sorry that He had made man on the earth," (Gen 6:6) He is obviously destroying an earth that is beyond salvation- one so evil that no man can save it. Had He left the earth it as it was, it would have been a terrible, miserable, empty, futile place. (Geisler and Howe 41) -When God slew the firstborn of the Egyptians, he slew the firstborn of the guilty Egyptians. The Egyptian people were not in fact innocent and in fact, "a mixed multitude went up with them [the Israelites] also" (Ex 12:38). As a result, the Egyptian people knew that the God of Israel was actively judging them for enslaving His people and only the people who maintained their iron grip of oppression on the Israelites had their firstborn slain. They also could have changed Pharaoh's mind, despite his position of dictatorship via a revolution- after all, the plagues whatnot God brought upon the Egyptians made them urge "the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste" (Ex 12:33). The Egyptian people could have done something about their leader's decision, but they did not (74-75). -(The answer to this one can be found just by reading Genesis 19). Lot's wife was transformed into a pillar of salt because she directly disobeyed God's direct order (which was delivered via two angels who spoke to Lot and his family- Genesis 19:17) not to look back at the city. No ifs ands ors or buts here- God was completely clear in His instructions and the consequences of disobeying. Curiosity and annoyance as exceptions were not in the fine print of God's orders. It's like being given the order not to look down the barrel of a loaded gun and pull the trigger but doing so out of curiosity. I could continue but, as I said, there is an answer to all of your inquiries in various Biblical commentaries and whatnot. I'd answer all of your inquiries but I'd just be paraphrasing from a book or from the scriptures. It's not that I can't answer your questions, it's just that this post is 2000 characters long right here(-) We could go on and on discussing scripture but like I said before, this is a forum about My Little Pony- not about scriptural debate and whatnot. Seriously, I'm not using an excuse to dodge your inquiries- it's rather late now and...I've given you my reasons. Trust me, there are answers to all of your questions- just don't denounce Christians when you put them on the spot. Unlike Eli from the movie The Book of Eli, we don't all have the Bible memorized- and even if we did, even we might not be interpreting it correctly the first time we read it. It sometimes takes academic and historical research- after all, it was written 2000 years ago but is still accurate down to the word today. We're fallible and human. Oh and one last thing- don't "Presume the Bible [or anything or anyone else] guilty until proven innocent." After all, what did the Mane Six learn after doing so to Zecora? Goodness, I never thought I'd be using examples from My Little Pony to defend my faith.

Oh goodness...my list goes on and on and on. Here's a good one for sorrow and loneliness: http://youtu.be/lngOCJf9bjk It's almost blatantly sad. But yeah, I could post up like 20 of my top emotionally-charged songs.

Sorry to break it to you but the Bible is the most accurate historical document out there. It's not something you can just Google to verify- you have to do your academic research like you would with any knowledge. Also, different books of the Bible have different genres- the Psalms are poetry while the Gospels are eye-witness accounts, verified externally by non-Biblical sources and kept solid by historians. You can't interpret different genres of documented literature the same way. God does not kill his own children- God's children kill God's children. ---------------------------- I am a Christian as well. Although I struggle immensely emotionally (loneliness, sadness and depression), I do not deny my Savior's sovereign love for me. I may not feel God...at all...but I believe He is there and that He is sovereign and has done everything He has done for a purpose. For instance, my depression and loneliness have given me an immense longing and desire to reach out to the lonely and depressed- to be the friend I always wanted to have. My ability to empathize with and attempt to support others on a deep, visceral level has been greatly enhanced because of my struggles. Yes, I do struggle immensely with my faith because of the many times I've been brought to emotional-motivational abysses and I struggle with being a Christian...but I do not deny my faith. I am also intellectually convicted of the truth of the Bible. It is the most accurate historical document in existence with more copies present than any other historical document. It is also free of contradictions- ask the academic critics who have scrubbed the Biblical text from cover to cover in search of errors but came up short. Several great intellectual cases for the Bible can be found in the works of Josh McDowell, C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, and Timothy Keller, to name a few. I recognize the worth of other worldviews. Everyone has a reason to believe what they believe, simply because they have lived a life: one with highs and lows, influences and lessons. I could continue...but honestly, this is a forum for Bronies and My Little Pony. It is not a scientific, ethical, or general debate forum...and I believe that you should respect someone else's beliefs, even if they're different than yours. After all, what did Twilight Sparkle learn about Pinkie Sense? I stand for my faith and others' like assertive Fluttershy- with a human (imperfect yet idealized) balance of love and justice- of tender mercy and bold assertiveness.

When you see articles like these and you have no apparent way to challenge the author, just shake your head, dismiss it as uninformed and senseless, and move on. Honestly, I thought the article was a just joke meant to draw attention but no, it's promoting a sad and decadent part of our modern twisted culture. It, too makes me want to lash out and strangle the author but...we have to approach our enemies with love, for hostility only brings more hostility. Yet we must also be firm and assertive in what's right, like what Fluttershy learned in "Putting Your Hoof Down."

This song is definitely me recently:

Strange. I played through ACIII mostly in high-profile and didn't have any issues with synchronization. "Where's Silas?" never came though. Oh well, Assassin's Creed III, like Hitman Absolution, was just so...exhausting that I can't motivate myself to play through it again.

Oh. I forgot Hitman. Yeah, went for Silent Assassin on every mission in Absolution but I didn't always get it. There's not a lot of stealth in Assassin's Creed- not until AC III and AC IV...at least there's not a lot of incentive to be stealthy, as you can beat the pulp out of anyone if they spot you.

^ Got that Steam achievement for Dishonored. As you might guess, it required a completely stealthy play-through as well. Also, I'm tying to play through Splinter Cell Blacklist with the Ghost play-style- non-lethal and stealthy. On the missions where you have to hold down an area against waves of hostiles, I'll try to play Panther (lethal, stealthy) but I will go loud if necessary. P.S. Yes, that is a screenshot from my Steam profile. I actually got that achievement- didn't just copy it from Google Images. =w=
