“Hey non-incels: The concepts of leagues/looksmatch/lowering your standards are incompatible with the concept of romantic love”
No, they’re not.

“I mean, how deep can this supposed "romantic love" be if people only qualify for each other based on the very thing that is most superficial and supposed to matter the least...one's appearance?”
Dude, you’re looking for sex. You’re looking for someone to willingly touch your peepee. That’s a matter of leagues. Scarlett Johansen is out of your league for dating with an eye towards naked fun time.
However, if you were in regular contact with her for non-sex reasons, such as being a coworker, then romantic love developing is a matter of personalities. Not leagues. The ‘real’ you might click with the ‘real’ her.

It’s two different things.
Of course, you’re a sexist misogynist anthrophobe with a chip on your shoulder chiseled out of fecal matter, so the ‘real’ you hasn’t got a chance, anyway.

“I thought "love was blind," idiots?
I thought "looks fade," idiots?”
They do. You’re insisting on confusing two different things.

“How can you possibly believe in that garbage, but then talk about how "'average' men can still get in relationships if they lower their staaaaaaaan-darrrrrrrds?"”
By ignoring you fuckers.

“I mean, if this mythical "romantic love" existed, why wouldn't incels and supermodels "fall in love with each other?"”
Because incels hate everyone including themselves. No one is attracted to taht.

But you don’t want to hear about that.

“After all, there's no reason to separate people into different leagues on the basis of something as shallow as looks, now, is there?”
Leagues isn’t just looks. It’s also how toxic you are in a crowded elevator.

"Being opposed to gay marriage or respectfully disagreeing with the gay lifestyle is perfectly alright as long as you don't try to force your beliefs down the throats of others. That in itself does not make you a homophobe.”
Being or not being a homophobe is not dependent on your actions or inaction. If you are against gay marriage for irrational emotional reaction to homosexuality, you’re homophobic even if you keep it to yourself.

‘Kay.

“ and imagine that 30 years from now, people will look back and marvel at how universally society, our schools, and the greater scientific community embraced as fact, a theory, that has no empirical scientific proof.”
No proof, no. TONS of evidence, though.
And observation of evolution happening. So it’s a fact.
But, yeah, other than that, looks like the death knell is sounding on the theory. Just as idiot creationists have been predicting for 150 years…

“If you just think about how complicated the human brain is (let alone the human person), its mind boggling to think it was created through random mutation assisted by natural selection”
It is mind boggling, yes. But that doesn’t count as counter-evidence. Just complexity.

Okay.

“talking about a variable speed of light and so on,”
Well, if they are successful, that will overturn most of what we think we know about physics in this universe.
But when you say ‘challenging,’ do you mean like doing the math and the grunt work to develop their side, or more like creationists, just rejecting the mainstream conclusions?

“ will this mean he will fall into the same realm as [Kent] Hovind then?”
No. No matter how different Physics turns out to be 100 years from now, Einstein had an actual education in his field. He did the actual work to research is theories and faced up to peer review.
Hovind’s ‘degree’ is in education, not science. His doctoral dissertation has a title that doesn’t show up anywhere in the dissertation.

He claims to have been a science teacher but that’s based on home-schooling his kid. He’s insanely ignorant about science, both the field and specific theories.

“God did not take the lives of the Egyptian firstborn unjustly”

I’d say he did.
First off, Egypt never kept slaves. So the story’s justification is bogus.
But within the ficton setting:
Moses asked for Pharaoh to release the slaves.
Pharaoh said, Okay, sure, hit the road.
God saw that he couldn’t draw much glory from that and hardened Pharaoh’s heart to keep the slaves.
So everything after that was just for God’s ego.
Not justice.

“Hi - Not sure what you are saying . It says that God gave people the animals for food after the flood, which implies that they did not hunt or eat animals before the flood. Would you agree with that?”
No. It does imply we didn’t eat them, but Cain certainly sacrificed animals to God and God liked taking a hit of that smoke. We probably hunted the sacrifices.

“Also, there was no capital punishment before the flood. Cain and Lamech, both murderers, went free.”
But Cain specifically said that he’d be killed if his family caught him, a murderer, and asked God to intervene. So he expected capital punishment.

" This could suggest that before the flood, human violence reached a level that exceeded that of today, which made the flood necessary. In this respect, the institution of capital punishment (a kind of cap on violence) after the flood seems to be linked with the promise never to destroy all life by flood again.”
You’re just throwing stuff on the wall to see what sticks, now.

“This is seen by Stentz’s claim that homosexual acts are part of the full range of human experience. This is not true. Homosexual acts are sinful.”
But humans sin. Humans sin a LOT. Humans are wicked in our very nature. We’re made wicked. We’re all sinners, and some of us are homosexuals.
How can you possibly argue that homosexuality is NOT part of the full range of human experience?

I would think even if I agreed with you about sins, i’d think kids need to know about gays.
Where I grew up, no one talked about sex. Except teens telling each other bullshit lies.
Which leaves kids vulnerable. If they don’t know what sex is, they can be seduced into oral or manual sex acts by being told ’It’s okay, it’s not really sex.’ Or girls i grew up with who believed ‘virgins can’t get pregnant.’ Or the guys who knew ‘If she has an STD it’ll show up if you stick a penny in there.’
I could imagine some are told, ’It’s not gay if you don’t involve the ass!’ On the boat we joked that ’you’re not gay as long as you throw up afterwards.’

You need to armor your kids against what you think of as sin. NEVER TALKING ABOUT IT doesn’t prevent it.

We don’t get mad at people who break the law, but we do get mad at people who take the law into their own hands? This confuses you? How does this relate to Hell, though? To ‘infinite torture for finite sin’?

“In all three instances someone murdered. So why the different punishment.”
killing an ant isn’t murder.
Taking the life of a criminal is at least some benefit to society.
Taking the life of a president usually involves a significant amount of preparation. Not something you do in a blind rage or by accident.

“The only thing that changed in this scenario was the worth of the person/thing the crime was committed against.”
I would not say a criminal is worth less. But then, you’re conservative. if a cop kills someone on the street, you have to find some crime the victim committed that justifies his being slaughtered on the street.

“Wouldn't it then follow that crimes committed against an infinitely worthy person/thing would require an infinite punishment?”
No, that doesn’t follow at ALL.
If i steal $60 from a homeless person, that may be all the money they have to last them a month.
If i steal $60 from Elon Musk, he spends more money just flushing his toilet. I should be punished LESS for stealing a set amount from a person who’s worth infinitely more. I cannot possibly steal enough from him to change his life.

And I am only able to commit a finite amount of sin while alive. Infinite pointless torture is not punishment, and it’s not justifiable.

But we don’t actually see that until it’s too late. Everyone who’s comfortable with their current religion and their outlook doesn’t have hard evidence that they’re wrong.
And STILL, if Hitler’s in Hell, he’s got to start to repent some of his shit at some point. But he’s still being tortured INFINITELY for FINITE amount of sin.
It’s not fair, and it means that your loving god is using suffering to achieve his ends.
Or suffering IS his end, one or the other.

Mostly, though, what drove me out of my first church was the people who get more excited describing the tortures of Hell than the pleasures of Heaven. Spittle on my face, fire in their eyes, you can hear the BOLD LETTERS in their voice… They can’t WAIT to get the special cloud in Heaven to watch the tortures in Hell.
