In Standard there are goblin cards in the main RDW-style deck (Red Deck Wins) but it uses a lot of not-goblin cards since there's not enough actual good goblin cards to make a real deck. In Modern there's a lot of Goblin cards but you need a really good draw to do much. It's basically a Tier 2-2.5 level deck since you don't have the super broken Goblins like in Legacy. But with Goblin Piledriver in both Standard and Modern you're going to have the opportunity for really explosive draws. | ||

I've only had the opportunity to listen to NPR for about 15 minutes and chat with some friends who were disappointed. In my mind there's the covenant you actually care about (the marriage of a man and woman before God) and then there's the legal contract. I'm happy for the decision, I think it was the right thing for the government to do. Also, not mentioned yet is the concern that if a pastor of church does not want to perform a ceremony for a gay couple he/she will have her certification or whatever is stripped. Again, if you actually care about the covenant and not the legal status just do ceremonies as usual but send the couple to the courthouse for the legal part. However, it feels funny to me that a couple could just walk into a church and demand a ceremony and cause that kind of trouble. I'm guessing 95% of gay couples wouldn't do that and would be considerate but there's going to be those cases. I'm pretty sure a ton of churches don't do marriages for people not in their congregation and no one's claiming discrimination there that I know of. This is hilarious I thought it was intentional. Gahlo don't admit you weren't as smart as you looked! :D @Mordek - I find it depressing because I feel people too often use that as a crutch to justify actions that go against the very core of the belief they supposedly follow. I may be off base here but part of the reason I stopped worshiping Christianity is that I just could no longer handle being a part of this culture that cares more about being "a Christian" than being a good person. To me the latter part should all anyone cares about. It's like people cling to this structure instead of finding out who exactly they are. People are so much more complex than just who they worship. As for your second point about the pastors you have to think about the Apartheid again :>. It's the same logic as forcing them to marry black people or black/white/asian etc. I have no problem with these pastors losing their certification if they don't do it because more than likely they spread their discrimination to their congregation with their lectures. Those kind of people hold no place in society. I actually think we shouldn't even have pastors anymore or church sermons. Too often I feel all they are is propaganda and a way for like minded people to pat each other on the back. Faith and spirituality are very personal things but instead of dealing with them in personal ways we instead create organized institutions that operate in a way that mirrors a political/propaganda rally. It just feels all wrong to me. I don't know. Maybe I'm just losing it. The lack of someone to cuddle me as I cry while watching sad anime may be breaking my brain. | ||

There's also a reasonable interpretation of that statement which is supported by many statements in the New Testament. I mean, if you want to interpret that a specific way, but then say others are perhaps reasonable but hypocritical for not following Jesus' teachings to the letter, that sounds like some oppressive religious dogma...  | ||

The third is commonly used by some denominations to assert "literal" readings of the Bible, but really all it says is that God had a hand in the writing of the scriptures so they're a good tool for learning/teaching/etc. The fourth is somewhat related to the first and second, only it's Peter reaffirming in part what Jesus said there. IANA biblical scholar and I'm simplifying, but the core point is there is reasonable thought/theology for most of these questions if you look in the right places (e.g. not the denominations that ascribe to a "literal" reading). I'm not going to assert that the Bible isn't without contradiction or problem, it has plenty of really weird and confusing stuff in there, but it's a very deep document. A lot of biblical discussions have more in common with Bronze-level solo queue than they do theology, reason, exegesis, or logic. | ||
