Maybe? Don't think I've ever seen anyone actually attribute things out like that, though. Omnimax is usually dropped whole-hog on the father/God aspect.

Still wouldn't really help much, though, s'far as I'm aware of trinitarian theology. They're still the same critter, even with the differentiated aspects.

Not in actual combat, no. Probably been tested somewhere, but used, not so much. Not yet, hopefully not ever. Pretty standard hawk chestbeating, though. Same thing we've been seeing for the last... while. Cold war, really, though the commonly declared targets have changed a bit.

Not actually illegal, rol. Honestly kinda' important to remember that, considering it's the reason undocumented immigrants don't have a guarantee to a trial or due process or whathaveyou. If what they were doing was actually criminal, the situation would be considerably more hilarious.

Good luck getting past the uncanny valley.

... we already have entirely photo-realistic, completely computer generated, material, that most people literally cannot tell the difference from a straight up photo/video. Not much (in a relative sense, anyway), 'cause it's fairly time consuming and/or expensive, but there's no "luck" involved in getting past the uncanny valley. We've been doing that to varying degrees, effectively, for a couple of decades now. We know how to do it, it's just a matter of improving tools and developing/disseminating skillsets as demand increases.

Zog if I know. Probably something along the lines of the latter, though -- you generally don't want to leave plague corpses sitting around to decompose normally.

Watched an Anti-Christ movie...

You know... for the Anti-Christ he isn't all that bad... SURE he organized all world religions to worship him

But he also established lasting world peace...

I mean he murders a few people and has mind control powers... But the sheer number of people he has saved alone...

I thought the anti-Christ was supposed to be like... pure evil or something. But currently he is further down the evil scale then Obama.

That's pretty much consistent with the biblical account of the thing, neo. Critter's supposed to more or less be indistinguishable from Christ and bring the appearance of world peace (which, let's face it, might as well just be world peace). Would bring more good to the world and commit less sins than your average pope. Somehow this is a bad thing/will lead to a bad thing, and so god comes in and lays waste to everything.

Anti-christ is never really portrayed much as what we'd particularly consider evil, from a human/mortal perspective -- its shtick is supposed to be leading people away from god, not making lives miserable/doing evil things, and a peaceful world and food on the table'll do more to lead people away from the empty blessings of priests than a thousand torture sessions. Would probably be better for humanity as a whole, at least insofar as living ones are concerned, than god, really.

So far as I'm aware, that's considered more or less the most insidious part of th'thing. It comes with the face of the savior, with blessings and good turns greater in scope and substance than any the god or priests has brought in the last few millennium. S'part of the really insidious aspects of an eschatology focused belief system -- it tells you that as things get better, things are actually getting worse. That curing cancer, stopping conflict, and extending lifespans is a preordained sign of the end times. Causes some incredibly self-destructive behavior, heh...

Was about to mention that myself, ha. Conan was, indeed, basically pretty damn smart -- one of the canniest characters in the stories he was involved in. For all he carried the title of barbarian, dude obviously took a few levels of rogue somewhere in there :V

Could see it, here. But no, not that one. No bike, no dakkacross, no draw lines. Actual human being, bringing a cross down the side of a fairly busy road.
