  1. And THIS is why this post had to be removed from ATHEISM/Questioning Faith. Because as an unbeliever I would have torn this to shreds. But believers should feel comfortable discussing it without worrying about what unbelievers think, which, let's be honest, if kinda predictable.
  2. Out of respect: You posted this in atheism. You do NOT want to know what I think of Charlie Kirk. So I will move it and I will ask that we refrain from referring to the killer's motive as "demonic," which (under the umbrella of the atheism forum) is a lazy scapegoating that robs a homicidal a-hole of responsibility for his despicable act. And I will ask that we refrain from politics, which is impossible in a conversation about Charlie Kirk (which is why I feel compelled to change the name of the thread). So henceforth, this thread is narrowed to the following: Do we agree? [moving to doctrinal).
  3. Then I will guess the actor Morgan Freeman snapped back at: Rutger Hauer.
  4. I can put some of these pieces together but not all of them. Clark Gable inspired the Bugs Bunny habit of talking with your mouth full of carrot, but to the best of my knowledge he never said "What's Up Doc," the name of a 1970s comedy. 1972? I don't know. So I'm going to go minimalist and say It Happened One Night inspired a major character trait of Bugs Bunny, speaking with his mouth full of carrot. Final answer.
  5. My typo was actually a subtle hint. Was it Movie I saw and regret (Suicide Squad) or was it THE movie I saw (The Suicide Squad) and regret a little less?
  6. You have the right characters but the wrong episode. This was called Reunion. Worf learns he has a son, and the baby mama learns Worf's dad was innocent. She pays with her life when Duras kills her and Worf straight up kills Duras in the most "this is not your father's Star Trek" moment to date. So the reason this episode popped into my head was: The woman who plays Alexander's mother, Worf's super hot Klingon babe, is none other than... Marshall's Mom from How I Met Your Mother! WOW that's an actress. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0686442/mediaviewer/rm835094016/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
  7. I was mistaken about the last post on this thread, so let's pretend for a moment it was.... The Ensigns of Command. I'd know the "You're damn right" line anywhere. It was early season 3, new uniforms, new intro, and the first time I finally felt like I could get and stay into this show. But that's not why I'm reviving an old thread. So here's a quote. Name the episode. "A reprimand will appear on your record. Dismissed. Mr. Worf, isn't it time for the truth about your father's innocence to be told?"
  8. Trying to remember if it's movie I saw and regret or the movie I saw and regret a little less.
  9. Oh wow, really? Ok. "God didn't make *****. I made him." Blocked out portion is not the title, but it is part of the title of multiple sequels.
  10. Yeah. Thanks for noticing. Oldies, come on, man. :)
  11. In terms of where this thread goes, I think the original purpose of Questioning Faith is to give unbelievers a place to express unbelief without interrupting genuine discussions about doctrine with predictable arguments that would literally derail every conversation. This is middle ground. If you want to discuss whether her observations are Biblically correct, this is the right forum for that. I agree that the apparently misogynistic elements of the epistles are probably not genuinely from Paul, and as long as "that wasn't in the original -- scratch it out" is fair game within doctrinal, I think it's fair game here.
  12. How do people not know this?
  13. Great show. Too bad they botched their Red John storyline. The Mentalist
  14. Actually I got it from the head crushing reference
  15. True Lies "For me civilian life is nothing! In the field we had a code of honor, you watch my back, I watch yours. Back here there's nothing!... Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment. Back here I can't even hold a job parking cars!"
  16. My memory failed me. 17 wasn't the score. 17 was the number of innings it took to finish the game. And of course it was a coincidence. But it was an emotionally resonant one.
  17. This was less than two months after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting, where 17 people were killed. Anthony Rizzo, then of the Cubs, was a Stoneman Douglas alum. He said it was probably no coincidence the winning team scored 17 runs. Chills.
  18. I believe it's 16 by the Cubs losing to the Marlins, who scored 17. This was in April of 2018.
