#not only do i think anon hate is rooted in cowardice. but it's also not worth my time

[papirouge]

i wanted to ask you something for a while since i actually think you'd have good wisdom on this topic because you're more level headed and consistent than a lot of christians i know

do you think seething irrational hatred can inhabit grueling traits from all the 7 deadly sins?

just read more if u need me to explain my thoughts at all

Pride: because a prideful boastful person will often show hatred towards anything that doesn't funnel their ego

Sloth: refer to the saying idle hands lead to evil thoughts

Gluttony: greedy people often have disdain for the lower class or people that don't cater to their needs to feel satisfied in general

Lust: often lusting for a person can lead to you hating them as a person for not making you the centre of their world or you can develop hatred from not gaining the sexual satisfaction you desired from them

Envy: self explanatory, people very often hate on what they don't have and can't have

Wrath: this emotion is so closely intertwined with hatred there is no instance of hatred where you have no anger nor ill will towards the target in question ofc

my point being that aggressive hatred is probably the biggest downfall of any person wanting to step into that snakepit

Thank you anon 🤍

I think you're really onto something. A lot of sins boil down to the same roots. My only issue in your standpoint is that you rely on the 7 deathly sins that have no biblical back up - it's only Catholic folklore. And yes, the Bible calls out these sins in the Bible.....but these aren't the only ones (disobedience, cowardice, doubtfulness, divination, complaining, wearing tattoos, etc.) are also criticized in the Bible, so I don't get along this cherrypicking of sins. Besides, I'm wary of shoving into tiny boxes the reason as of why Humans do sins, which are much more complex than adjectives.

Why did Eve eat the forbidden fruit? I assume you'll immediately reply "envy" when actually... it's a bit more subtle than that...:

Genesis 3:4-7

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’? ” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’” “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

It's interesting to note that the forbidden fruit was mostly likely known from both Adam and Eve as they knew where it was. Eve may come across it everyday but the thought of eating it never crossed her mind out of her obedience to God. So it hardly make sense she suddenly felt the intense urge/envy to eat it out of thin air. The thing is, SATAN through his persuasion made it appealing by lying to her and that the fruit would give her knowledge. Eve didn't eat the fruit out of simple "envy" but because she got duped in the benefit it would bring to her by eating it: "When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it."

"Envy" doesn't come out of thin air. This envy comes along the benefit of surrending to sin. And that's something the whole concept of 7 deathly sins kinda glosses over.

You know anon, I too have been thinking about the origin of sin and on what leverage satan relied to to enslave humanity with it. And God led me to the passage of the Bible where satan tried to tempt Jesus into sin. Satan knew what he was doing ; he knew Who Jesus was and that to screw Him up he had to resort to the his sneakiest tricks.

He went on to 3 attempts that each represent the 3 main ways satan manipulates humanity.

Luke 4:1-13

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’” The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. If you worship me, it will all be yours.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.’” The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’” Jesus answered, “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.

trick #1 : The dismissal of spiritual life over material matters. Expecting a good life while not eating the bread of God or refusing to make sacrifice and "work our salvation" (Philippians 2:12) to abide in god's commandments (= prayer, fasting, sanctification => spiritual food)

trick #2 : Lust for life and worldly matters. Idolatry of the self (instead of God).

trick #3 : Eternal security. "God loves me/I am Christian so I can do whatever I want/sin but God will always have my back". This matches Eve's sin : she got lured by satan into thinking that even though she sinned, she "wouldn't die" (in a spiritual sense, sin = death, so satan misguided her into believing that sin wouldn't come with consequences).

That's why the Hyper Grace/Once Saved Always Saved doctrine is so dangerous and literally inspired by satan btw.

With these elements let's put into perspective the examples you brought up:

"Pride: because a prideful boastful person will often show hatred towards anything that doesn't funnel their ego" = TRICK #2 : pridefulness resides in people valuing their self more than anything. Idolatry of the ego.

"Sloth: refer to the saying idle hands lead to evil thoughts" = TRICK #1: laziness doesn't necessarily translates to anger and vice versa. But laziness for sure comes from a place of a refusal to self sacrifice (having to work, make efforts)

"Gluttony: greedy people often have disdain for the lower class or people that don't cater to their needs to feel satisfied in general" = TRICK #2 Lust for life/hedonism: food, sex, and more more and more... I don't think gluttony and greed are the same thing as greed come off more financial 🤔 but yeah they both rely on the same trick.

"Lust: often lusting for a person can lead to you hating them as a person for not making you the centre of their world or you can develop hatred from not gaining the sexual satisfaction you desired from them" = TRICK #2 i.e reasons above

"Envy: self explanatory, people very often hate on what they don't have and can't have" = TRICK #2 Envy comes from a lust for life (someone, something, a status, etc.)

"Wrath: this emotion is so closely intertwined with hatred there is no instance of hatred where you have no anger nor ill will towards the target in question ofc" = TRICK #2 as wrath comes from the attack against one's ego/idolatry of self. If *you*, the person reading this, thinks deeply about the last time you felt anger, you will see what I mean... That also explains why prideful people are often bad-tempered and easily angered.

Note that the TRICK #3 is exclusive to Christian can't translate to unbelievers. But it's interesting to see how satan used it as a last resort against Jesus. It truly is satan's biggest leverage to fool so many Christians and manipulate them into thinking is okay and that they're still saved despite sinning. Exactly like he did with Eve, stating she wouldn't die despite disobeying God. ...and look where we are now~🤦🏾���♀️

hi yall, unpopular?/popular? opinion incoming

i don’t like butting my head into stuff most of the time, but this time i’d really like my opinion to be heard, and maybe people who don’t agree with me will understand why my opinion is the way it is... i hope?

for starters, i actually think all this ‘jashi’ blowup is kinda funny, not because of the plot of a literal, actual cartoon, but because how much ppl want stuff out of their control to be exactly how they want, the real world is not tumblr y’all, it isn’t yours to control.. and as lovely as it sounds, the whole world can’t be gay, at least not in our time, like, i’m bi as hell, and i love how much the writers/animators were able to do in such a short season, so reducing their relationship and the story to a strictly homo/hetero issue pisses me off tbh, also it’s good to know bi-erasure is still around

and about that born sexy yesterday trope shit, that’s all it is, a trope, not the defining characteristic of one Fictional Character, and it’s not even a recognized one, it’s just something some dude made up, imagine if this episode came out a month ago, before that video was made, would yall STILL be this upset? fuck, i could even argue Rose Quartz as fitting the BSY trope using Ashi as a baseline. seriously though, by making the episode all about this trope, you’re doing the exact opposite of what you think you’re fighting for: a well rounded, multi-dimensional female character

going with what’s on the tvtropes site, a girl fitting the BSY trope:

“The mind of a naive, yet highly skilled, girl is written into the body of a mature sexualized woman.” ok, you get one, barely, however Ashi is only naive in the sense that she was shut in for her whole life and knew only one thing, that the Samurai was bad and had to be killed, and Rose? similar deal, didn’t know about human culture before Greg, a fuckin badass warrior originally on the side seeking to destroy Earth, and if you don’t think she’s hot then either you don’t think a fat woman can be sexy or you agree at least this part of the trope is true for her.

“An unbalanced relationship, but it’s also very much connected to masculinity.” bullshit their relationship is unbalanced, Jack treats Ashi as his equal, she saved his life twice, even killing her own bitch of a mother to keep him alive, and the guy was suicidal, like come on, i’m sure anyone on this site would know that’s not a stereotypical ‘masculine’ thing in media, and you prolly know as well as i that media portrays mental illnesses as a sign of ‘weakness’, not masculinity

“The subtext of the trope is rooted in a deep seated male insecurity around experienced women and sexuality. “ At what point in the whole season has this even been an issue?.. tell me the exact episode and time where Jack is insecure about a women being more powerful than him, bc honestly, i do think she is just as good if not better than him at fighting, but has he ever been insecure abt it, not from what i’ve seen

this trope is bullshit and so is everyone’s anger towards yet another animated television show, honestly, it’s going to all blow over after the show ends, who knows if either of them are even gonna live too!! like, both of them could die next episode, then yall won’t have a reason to fight!!! go eat your favorite junk food, laugh at drump’s stupid hair, jack off, like seriously, holy fuck, life is too short to get mad over one cartoon, fuckin enjoy shit while shit’s still here

and about that father-daughter relationship thing some of yall have, give your headcanon Ashi a daddy kink or make an AU or something, idk be creative!!! be the change you wanna see!!!

The degenerate’s guide to college football TV watch ‘em ups, 2019 season, week 2

Now do you want to read about college football or do you want to listen to your wildest fantasy of Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theories in a podcast format? If you answered “college football” then click to read more! If you want to listen to an incredible podcast that will feed your absolute worst inclinations towards nihilistic disillusionment then click right here! True Anon is really all I’ve ever wanted in a left-leaning shitfest. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Now for the football. Hell, the CIA is behind this shit, too. The highlight of the week for me is the line on the Bammers game. No way Saban holds up his end of that bargain. Why the fucking hell is there even a line on that shit?

If you’ve read this nonsense before you know the drill. If not, the times are eastern, the schedule is ripped from FBSchedules and the gambling informatics are per Vegas Insider dot com. Degenerate football can alternately mean football that you only pay attention to for purposes of gambling or the low-level, barely FBS, preferably late night types of games that play for stadium crowds in the hundreds and TV audiences in the dozens. It doesn’t have to be college ball, the UFL is my true ideal of football degeneracy. If you gambled on that you are my target audience. Onward and downward we go.

Saturday, September 7

Matchup                                                                   Time (ET)        TV/Mobile

Ohio at Pitt                                                                11:00am            ACCN

Wow. What a special game. It’s got a one hour headstart and for what? Goddamn is this trash. Why is ACCN not just an extra ESPN channel? SECN and Longhorn Network are just parts of the ESPN app but ACCNe is just off by itself inaccessible to 90% of the country.

Southern at Memphis                                              12:00pm  WMC-TV / ESPN3

There’s no line on this game so just check on it to see what’s going on with Memphis. They beat their secret rival The Racist South last week but scoring less than 20 is weird for them.

Rutgers at 20 Iowa                                                    12:00pm              FS1

This being a conference game is funny. Maryland and Rutgers being in the B1G is funny. And stupid. Mostly stupid. But that’s why it’s funny. Take Iowa even at -19 because it’s Rutgers.

West Virginia at Missouri                                          12:00pm           ESPN2

Speaking of dumb conference stuff, both of these teams belong in the Big 12. That’s the true spirit of college football and it’s completely akilter. Is Mizzourah the good offense out of these two now? Everything is wrong. I wouldn’t touch a 14-point line in either direction here but over 62.5 seems worthwhile.

Vanderbilt at Purdue                                                   12:00pm            BTN

These are the same team but one has Rondale Moore. Otherwise there is no difference.

UAB at Akron                                                               12:00pm          CBSSN

I don’t like the beloved CBS Sports hosting a MAC team even if they are hosting UAB. Why did the o/u drop from 55 to 46 over the course of the week? That’s odd. I’d have to check with our dear president but I don’t think Ohio is in the path of any hurricanes.

21 Syracuse at Maryland                                             12:00pm          ESPN

From the bottom of my Georgetown-born, VA-burbs raised heart I hate everything about this game. I would love to see Syracuse lose even if it means Maryland winning. The odds have flipped crazily from opening Syracuse -5 to now having Maryland -1.5. Take the turtles.

Army at 7 Michigan                                                      12:00pm           FOX

I saw ESPN talking up Army last night so go all in on Michigan to beat the ever-living piss out of the troops. -22.5 is nothing.

Bowling Green at Kansas State                                 12:00pm            FSN

Good lord, no.

Charleston Sou. at South Carolina                            12:00pm          SECN

This is cancelled, right? If not pound the under.

Cincinnati at 5 Ohio State                                           12:00pm           ABC

Cincinnati sucks but count on Fickell to make an Ohio State University look bad one more time. Bearcats +16, book it.

Kennesaw State at Kent State                                     12:00pm        ESPN3

I think Kennesaw is the Welsh version of the British Kent. I could be wrong about that but who cares?

Old Dominion at Virginia Tech                                     12:00pm        ESPNU

VPISU should be better by now. I’m wrong a lot but it’s possible I was really wrong about Justin Fuente. Betting on ODU sounds like a bad idea but I fully endorse it.

Western Carolina at NC State                                       12:30pm          RSN

There is no reason to bet on a game like this. This is practice.

NIU at 13 Utah                                                                 1:00pm         Pac-12N

I could be wrong but off the top of my head I don’t think Utah usually covers in the first four weeks of the season. This is a guess you can use in your gambling.

Fordham at Ball State                                                     2:00pm         ESPN3

Blocks of Granite for the win. Book it.

USF at Georgia Tech                                                       2:00pm          ACCN

By my count Georgia Tech covered last week against Clemson. USF just hung out in a trash can for 60 minutes. Yet the Bulls are favored here. Charlie Strong was once a hot commodity that programs all over the country coveted. Hindsight is absolutely hilarious.

Tennessee Tech at Miami (Ohio)                                    2:30pm          ESPN+

There’s no line but I’m loading up the wagon for the Golden Eagles. This is the big auto mechanics school, right?

Southern Illinois at UMass                               3:30pm     FloSports / NESNplus

I, uh, guess, uh... Don’t watch this under any circumstances. Pack a cyanide pill if you must.

Southern Miss at Mississippi State                                3:30pm         ESPNU

This is an appealing bit of misery but there’s no chance I watch it. Miss State -16.5 seems crazy against anybody. I think.

12 Texas A&M at 1 Clemson                                             3:30pm          ABC

This is statistically expected to be Clemson’s toughest game and they’re still favored by 16.5. The money looks to be going towards aTm but I can’t shake the notion that Clemson is going to absolutely maul them from the get go.

Central Michigan at 17 Wisconsin                                    3:30pm         BTN

I don’t trust Nick Saban to do what’s right by gambling folk but Wisconsin is different. If they don’t humiliate undermanned opponents that means they are a bad team. -35 is the kind of line you see when the Badgers go for 80+.

Charlotte at Appalachian State                                          3:30pm       ESPN+

You’re on your own with this one.

Eastern Illinois at Indiana                                                   3:30pm        BTN

See: Charlotte at Appalachian State.

Grambling State at Louisiana Tech                                    3:30pm      NFLN

Is there a way to make a throwback game between Doug Williams and Terry Bradshaw take place here?

Illinois at UConn                                                                   3:30pm    CBSSN

Oh, come the fuck on.

25 Nebraska at Colorado                                                      3:30pm     FOX

The two Big 8 programs that benefited most from 5th downs are facing off on national TV representing the B1G and Pac-12. That’s horrible. Nebraska being a top 25 team but also being favored by only -4 against this version of Colorado is what is known as a paradox.

Richmond at Boston College                                             3:30pm  ACCNE xtra

No line. What cowardice.

Murray State at 3 Georgia                                                    4:00pm    ESPN2

Pound the under.

UTSA at Baylor                                                                     4:00pm       FSN

Go UTSA. We’re all rooting for you.

Western Illinois at Colorado State                                      4:00pm     ATTSN

Man, this is all trash. Not even the good kind.

New Mexico State at 2 Alabama                                          4:00pm      SECN

The predicted score by way of gambling is Bama 60, NMSU 5. Saban is pulling his starters in the second quarter, though, so put a buck or two on New Mexico State just for the hell of it.

San Diego State at UCLA                                                     4:15pm   Pac-12N

This is Pac-12 After Dark/CBS Sports fodder playing in the sunlight. Both teams might explode, literally.

Northern Colorado at 22 Washington State                       5:00pm  Pac-12WA

Pac-12 Washington? That’s a channel? Washington State lookd good in week 1 so hit the over (63) and see what happens.

ULM at Florida State                                                             5:00pm      ACCN

Oh, Willie. Poor, poor Willie. Why, Willie, why? Monroe +22 looks pretty good to me.

Gardner-Webb at East Carolina                                           6:00pm     ESPN3

Yeah, buddy, now we’re into it. If this game happens. I think it’s not happening. But if it does? Man, oh, man. You know what I mean.

Maine at Georgia Southern                                                  6:00pm     ESPN+

Why would you think Eagles could beat Black Bears? That’s crazy.

North Carolina A&T at Duke                                            6:00pm   ACCNE xtra

Let’s go A&T, beat the devil.

South Dakota at 4 Oklahoma                                               7:00pm   FS PPV

What lunatics are paying for this? You should feel ashamed.

Jackson State at South Alabama                                         7:00pm   ESPN+

Lots of bodybag games, even at the lower levels. I hate it.

Wyoming at Texas State                                                        7:00pm   ESPN+

Kind of beautiful but you’ll probably have to squint to see it.

WKU at FIU                                                                             7:00pm    ESPN+

Get your shit together, Butch. Now. Stop embarrassing me.

18 UCF at Florida Atlantic                                                     7:00pm   CBSSN

Oh, now this - THIS! is what CBS Sports is great for. What a shitty game that I love like a long lost child.

Tennessee State at Middle Tennessee                                7:00pm   ESPN3

Too Tall U vs. MTSU is cool in a way but it won’t be a fun thing to watch.

North Texas at SMU                                                               7:00pm   ESPN3

Spencer is visiting ms621 and my people are expecting a lot of scoring in this one with the lawyers coming out on top. /suggestive eyebrow raises

McNeese at Oklahoma State                                                 7:00pm   ESPN+

Chuba Hubbard should get about 8 touches so watch early if you’re watching at all.

 Furman at Georgia State                                                        7:00pm   ESPN3

Man, this is a long list of boring crap.

Eastern Kentucky at Louisville                                          7:00pm  ACCNE xtra

Other than the 24 fumbles I thought Louisville looked pretty good last week. Not enough to tune in for a minute of this but maybe they can fine tune some of the difficult football activities like “snapping the football” and “holding the football close to your body” or “handing the ball to the running back” against Eastern Kentucky and then when they pop up against Clemson later on it’ll be worth watching.

Coastal Carolina at Kansas                                                   7:00pm   ESPN+

Les Magic: Kansas is favored to start the year 2-0. Not by a lot, mind you.

BYU at Tennessee                                                                   7:00pm   ESPN

Nobody tell Bergie but I’m rooting for the Mormons here. Gotta go for what makes the most people feel the worst about sports.

Tulane at 10 Auburn                                                                7:30pm   ESPN2

Is Auburn rising in the polls enough to make me bet against them at home -17 vs. Tulane? It sure is. Auburn is just as chaotic as LSU but not as funny about it.

UT Martin at 11 Florida                                                          7:30pm  ESPNU

Fuck the Gators, man.

Western Michigan at 19 Michigan State                              7:30pm     BTN

Sparty, too.

Arkansas at Mississippi, Oxford                                         7:30pm   SECN

I am on a descent into hell here.

Buffalo at 15 Penn State                                                       7:30pm     FOX

If Notre Dame is next I’m hanging up on this post.

Eastern Michigan at Kentucky                                             7:30pm   SECN Alt.

Whew. Hill people that can only intermittently football. That is a huge relief right now.

Liberty at Louisiana                                                              7:30pm     ESPN+

Fuck the Falwells, and not in a good way.

6 LSU at 9 Texas                                                                    7:30pm      ABC

There is one ironclad rule in college football gambling: never bet on an LSU game. Those who fail to heed this rule will never see longterm winnings. Oddsmakers keep pushing the line towards LSU and I agree wholeheartedly that’s where the expectations should reside but would you be even sort of surprised to see LSU blow this entirely and lose? No, you would not. Neither would I.

Nevada at 16 Oregon                                                           7:30pm     Pac-12N

Oregon is favored by 24 and my very cursory impression of these two is that Nevada is a straight up better team than the Ducks. Granted, I’m really bad at this, but that +24 looks like easy money.

Stony Brook at Utah State                                                   7:30pm   Facebook

Not even a great QB talent is worth going on facebook.

Miami (FL) at North Carolina                                               8:00pm     ACCN

Pound the damn under. Also, ESPN talking heads are all on the UNC to upset train so put whatever money you have set aside for this contest on the Hurricanes. 

Prairie View A&M at Houston                                              8:00pm     ESPN3

That one good recruiting class is mostly a memory for Houston at this point but they’ll still be fun to watch once D’Eriq King and Dana Holgorsen get on the same page.

UTEP at Texas Tech                                                              8:00pm       FSN

Wasn’t Texas Tech supposed to run the ball more this year? One week in they’re leading the country in passing. Maybe they ran the ball more and it still wasn’t very much.

Tulsa at San Jose State                                                      9:00pm      ESPN3

This is the kind of game that should be played in a prison yard.

Arkansas State at UNLV                                                      10:00pm  Facebook

This is the kind of game that shouldn’t be played.

California at 14 Washington                                               10:30pm      FS1

I do believe I’m the span of this game away from getting fully on board with UDub rolling the Pac-12 again. The only team with similar talent, as far as I have seen, is USC. But there are a long list of other issues with USC.

Minnesota at Fresno State                                                  10:30pm  CBSSN

This is the kind of stupid game I love but I think I’ll be watching Pennywise the Dancing Clown at this point.

23 Stanford at USC                                                               10:30pm    ESPN

USC should just fire Clay Helton now, win or lose.

Northern Arizona at Arizona                                                10:45pm   Pac-12N

It would be very Pac-12 of Arizona to lose this game.

Oregon State at Hawaii                                   11:59pm     Spectrum / Facebook

I guess facebook is there to scoop from the most bootlegged team in college football’s illegal audience but I still hate it. Hawaii playing at home two weeks in a row means pound the over even at 77.5. It’s not like Oregon State plays defense, either.
