@Dozy_Doats @WerbitTheWhy @SophiaNarwitz Are you claiming that Henry Novak wasn't stabbed multiple times and then handcuffed while bleeding out because he was falsely accused of being racist?

This is as good a springboard as any for something that tickles my brain cells.

So the context for Genesis is that Moses is writing on the way to the Promised Land, wherein pagans sacrifice children to Moloch. And one of the goals is to encourage the Israelites to not do that.

In that light, the Binding of Isaac reads completely opposite to the way Reddit Atheists read it: Here is Abraham, who is just as devout as any Moloch-worshipper. In fact, since Abraham is a geezer, and Isaac is probably a teen, both Abraham and Isaac are more devout than the Moloch worshippers.
But Yahweh isn't into that.
It is a repudiation of child-sacrifice, not an endorsement.

Ender's Game author Orson Scott Card on the problems with how religion is portrayed in current fantasy and science fiction:

"In our culture, intellectuals have become so uniformly a-religious or anti-religious that our fiction, with few exceptions, depicts religious people in only two ways: the followers are ignorant and stupid and easily fooled, and the leaders are exploitative and cynical, manipulating others' faith for their private benefit.

I know some people who fit those descriptions. But they are in a tiny minority. Most religious people I know are smart, well-educated, independent-minded, stubborn, honest, and generous -- at least as much so as the average intellectual, and usually more.

The hostility toward religion among American intellectuals arises, I think, from a clear awareness that it was against a publicly religious culture that their own culture rebelled. Now that rebellion is completely successful in terms of capturing control of all the public instruments of transmission of culture -- the universities, the media, and the literature and art -- but it has become such a shibboleth of intellectual life to snipe at religion that, like the aging "revolutionaries" of the old Soviet Union, they mindlessly continue to "rebel" in order to defend their tight grip on the establishment. Indeed, those intellectuals are the establishment. And what was once a daring and rebellious stance is now just another example of lockstep conformists mindlessly echoing ideas that they haven't examined.

That's when contemporary fiction mentions religion at all. Most of the time, in and out of speculative fiction, religion simply doesn't exist. Characters don't believe in God or even think about believing in God. Nobody talks about religion. Nobody belongs to any kind of church. Religion simply doesn't exist. ...

This is, I think, a serious lapse, a dishonesty in our contemporary literature. It is most seriously dishonest because in fact, even the supposedly a-religious intellectuals behave exactly as religious people always have. That is, the behavioral and cultural patterns that we have always associated with religions are indistinguishable, except by vocabulary, from the behavioral and cultural patterns of the a-religious intellectuals. They band together with fellow believers, feel sorry for or hostile toward unbelievers, immediately punish heretics -- intellectuals who, having once been accepted in the 'faith,' dare to question its premises -- anoint their priests and theologians (psychologists and therapists being their ministers, scientists and, more usually, science popularizers being their doctors of atheology), and insist on their absolute right to put forth their religious ideas with public funding and the authority of the state behind them, while doing their utmost to silence or marginalize the beliefs of others.

Most fiction has become, in short, an instrument of propaganda for the established religion of our time, which differs from other religions only in the particular content of the faith and the vocabulary used to describe it. Naturally, the true believers are sure that the real difference is that their beliefs are objectively true. But then, true believers have always believed that. This is not what distinguishes them from other established religions, but rather what makes them fundamentally identical to them.

The honest depicter of human life will include the religious aspect of that life. This is not to say that stories need to be about religion, any more than stories about our contemporary culture need to be about cars. But the cars need to be present, at least by implication, and if a character doesn't know how to drive, we'd need to know why."

Is this why Hollywood stopped adapting his books into films?

The King's Warden was one of the greatest movies I've watched in Korean cinema. I watched it on opening day when I was in Korea, and it was truly an impeccable work of filmmaking.

The writing and acting are incredible. Yoo Hae-jin and Park Ji-hoon are outstanding as the village chief and exiled king, and their deep friendship carries the whole film. It mixes gentle humor with raw, honest emotion about loyalty and kindness. Way beyond Oscar-worthy, way better than anything that has come out of Hollywood in the past decade.

A deeply human story with a depth and weight that hits you and stays with you, I highly recommend everyone watching. The only thing is the CGI was cheesy lol

@JunkersFW190 @lporiginalg You noted three you could name, and then specified one other that you couldn't because they died long before you were born. Where's the other 4

@smoking539800 @BlauwBloed1983 @trad_west_ You seem to be focusing on the wrong thing here, I don't think I can help you understand any better.

[Brit something @BritInLockdown]

@smoking539800 @BlauwBloed1983 @trad_west_ You could argue that for a time he was, but the original poster was perhaps just being A bit hyperbolic to make a point around his principled stance losing him acting gigs.

[Brit something @BritInLockdown]

@BlauwBloed1983 @trad_west_ He never said it was Hollywood's problem? He set personal bounderies, which although cost him movie roles, he was happy to maintain. Although ultimately he managed to still find success. It's a feel good story.

A duck walked into a pub and ordered a pint of beer and a ham sandwich.

The barman looked at him and said, “Hang on! You're a duck!”

"I see your eyes are working,” replied the duck.

"And you can talk!!” exclaimed the barman.

"I see your ears are working, too.” said the duck. "Now if you don't mind, can I have my beer and my sandwich please?"

"Certainly. Sorry about that.” said the barman as he pulled the duck's pint. "It's just we don't get many a ducks in this pub. What are you doing around this way?"

"I'm working on the building site across the road” explained the duck. "I'm a plasterer."

The flabbergasted barman couldn’t believe the duck and wanted to learn more but took the hint when the duck pulled a newspaper from his bag and proceeded to read it.

The duck read his paper, drank his beer, ate his sandwich, paid up, bid the barman a good day and left.

The same thing happened every few days for two weeks.

Then one day the circus came to town.

The ringmaster walked into the pub for a pint and the barman said, "You're with the circus, aren't you? Well, I know this duck that could be just brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the newspaper and everything!"

"Sounds marvelous!” said the ringmaster, handing over his business card. "Get him to give me a call."

The next day when the duck came into the pub the barman said, "Hey Mr. Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money."

“Swell. I’m always looking for the next job.” said the duck. "Where is it?”

"At the circus.” said the barman.

"The circus?" repeated the duck.

"That's right.” replied the barman.

"The circus?” the duck asked again.
“With the big tent?”

"Yeah.” the barman replied.

"With all the animals that live in cages and performers who live in caravans?" asked the duck.

"Of course,” the barman replied.

"And the tent has canvas sides and a big canvas roof with a hole in the middle?" persisted the duck.

"That's right.” said the barman.

The duck shook his head in amazement, and said “What the fuck would they want with a plasterer?”

Let me explain:

A core Muslim country, is afraid of sending their Muslim citizens to a Christian country, cos of fear of being turned into terrorists by the Muslims in the Christian country.
But Christians in the said country, are ignorant of the mess they are in.

A whole clown show.
