I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Because that's the missile, not the aim. The proximity sensor for top attack means that, in practice you aim straight at the target and fire, then this missile flies just above the tank, and at the right time fires the warhead downwards through the thin wide roof and anything beneath.

There is a passage in revelations that says that the apocalypse won't happen until everyone in the world has heard the gospel and had a chance to deny or embrace it, so they are trying to help speed it along.

Solid piece, who knows how many people in Ukraine/Russia will see it. That said, the California flag patch on his shoulder is just weird - I see the Texan flag all over the place, I don't know if I've ever seen any other state flag worn by an individual or flown by any non-gov't building before now.

He had an excellent interview on the nerdist (yeah I know, I know) podcast a few years ago that was supposed to be promoting the movie sabotage. He barely mentioned the movie but gave an in-depth autobiographical account of growing up in post-war Austria and moving to California, I hadn't know he had done so much investing in apartment buildings. It was interesting to hear how he was aware he was terrible in his early movies but kept taking English and acting classes to improve. I'm sure there were some omissions but overall I came away respecting him more.

I just looked it up, at apparently something like 80+% of Ukrainians (at least, as of 2019) are Christian. Mostly Orthodox, unsurprisingly.

So what's the point of going there to evangelize?

Its the same as those fucks that go to college campuses yelling about fornicating and gay people. The cruelty and power trip are the point

There's also the popular predestination belief among some US evangelicals. When I was younger and dumber going to a megachurch something that helped me leave was hearing people who grew up in mansions talk about how the architect of the universe wanted them to be comfortable and spoiled and then upon their death they'd go to paradise, and this is the way the galaxy was set up and it couldn't have been different. When questioned about why a loving deity's plan would also include creating billions of thinking beings who not only didn't reject faith, but never knew it was an option, and upon their demise will be tortured for eternity I was informed "this increases God's glory."

There are four gospels in the New Testament. Each one tells Jesus's story. Each one tells Jesus's last words to his disciples. Each of the four gospel give different accounts of what those last words to the disciples were. The version in the gospel of Matthew includes what has come to be known as "The Great Commission" - "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"

tl;dr: The writer of Matthew completely pulled out of their rear end that THE MISSION of Christians is to convert people, and shoved it in Jesus's mouth.
