#Acts of Violence

They bring their bodies to the house of prayer, but not their souls. They worship with their mouths, but not "in spirit and in truth." They are sticklers for immersion or early morning communion, yet take no thought about keeping their hearts with all diligence. They boast of their orthodoxy, but disregard the precepts of Christ. Multitudes of professing Christians abstain from external acts of violence, yet regularly rob their neighbors of a good name by spreading evil reports against them. They contribute regularly to the "pastor's salary," but shrink not from misrepresenting their goods and cheating their customers, persuading themselves that "business is business." They have more regard for the laws of man than those of God, for His fear is not before their eyes. ~ Arthur Pink

Dr. Roger Pitman conducted a study at Harvard in which he showed college students a film called Faces of Death, which contained newsreel footage of violent deaths and executions.

For the last five years retail crime in America has been rising.  Now we're seeing crime such as flash mobs and smash-and-grab offences happening in growing numbers.  This usually involves well organized gangs of teenagers that coordinate their sometimes violent retail thefts smashing store windows and displays in order to steal merchandise.  While there are a number of reasons for this crime, it has raised the public's awareness on crime, policing, and how the judicial system has failed so many people.  My new report entitled "U.S. Retail Crime, Flash Mobs, And Smash-And-Grab Offences Increasing."

Atheism has been used as justification by some individuals throughout history for committing heinous acts. They engage in these acts because they felt they could do so with impunity. Of course! Why not? If there is no higher power watching or judging their actions or holding them accountable for their choices in this life or beyond it, it makes perfect sense. Thankfully, this is not a necessary component of atheism and most do not live according to their beliefs, but it is founded of their amoral philosophic starting point.

Another thing i do appreciate about episode 17 is that it really hammers home how much the chimera is not Falin, not as we know her. Like even I get into the wishful thinking and love the idea of chimera Falin kidnapping Marcille for romantic reasons but that's simply not a possibility. It's not Falin. It's Falin being absorbed and used as a tool by the Red Dragon. The animation makes it so much more clear that the chimera is actively manipulating Laios in that one moment.

Horrifying. Like yeah she's hot but that episode really made it sink in for me that like... chimera Falin recognizes Marcille. She recognizes Laios. She just doesn't care. She'd kill them with a smile on Falin's face.

in yet another failure to care about people sensitive to flashing, the new Scream movie ad includes aggressive flashing within a second of the ad starting. It seems to just be in the usual format of an ad, not one that haunts the background, but if you see the below at the top of an ad

go ahead and either exit the app or close your eyes and scroll. I was not able to get a screenshot of how the whole ad starts as there is, again, less than a second before the flashing starts.

really loving how people stopped caring about flash sensitivities lmao

anyway you should reblog this to warn your followers as well, I'd rather as few people have this violent surprise as possible

You read about Ty Cobb and hear he was a total dickhead on the field and you're like "Alright, how much of that is him being a competitor and how much is just genuine assholishness." And then you see pictures like this
