No, no, sloths are sloths.

... but nah, the sloth thing is noting a mammal that, while apparently occasionally green, is unusual in part due to that. Green is not normal for mammals, but sloths are a mammal that it is. Ergo, if flabort is having green, and is a mammal, they must be a sloth.

It still doesn't answer why they don't like the freemasons. If anything, it almost sounds like they dislike the freemasons for being free thinkers.

Or I'm just not understanding the reason behind it as explained in wikipedia.

... significant and largely inimical differences in theological beliefs. Would appear to be the majority of the reason as stated?

By that point whatever it's called will depend heavily on how much that southern american thingummy comes along, methinks. I rather imagine a superpower brazil & co would be kinda' pissed about calling it Pax America. Unless they've renamed SA by then or something.

... so no, not really. Ah well.

Or, well, it sorta' supports the possibility of a creative event (though, of course, that runs into the same problem all presuppositions of a creative event, regardless of its form, does, i.e. from whence it came), but that's about it. It's certainly no guarantee of power* (that great power is necessary to cause great acts is the silliest of concepts, as anyone having watched an avalanche go off due to a small rock hitting the right place would know), of a sustained force, or especially of anything even remotely resembling a creator god. Doesn't say anything about that event not being just some transcendent reality deciding to incarnate or whathaveyou.

You might be able to get transcendent (though complete transcendence is incredibly arguable, as such a thing would be incapable of interaction) and creative (though not in the sense of, say, an artist or an engineer, nor with any implication of intent) out of that, but... that's about it.

Of course, if you're pulling transcendent creative events out of the aether, logic taking a momentary hike and nothing creating something from nothing is just as plausible


*E: Well, of great power. A non-zero amount, sure, but no more than that.

E2: I guess the question being, how does this person (or folks holding similar convictions, I guess) defend going from non-specified creative event to, well, interventionist creator deity? I've actually seen some of the lines along that, and they're often pretty interesting. The logical conclusions that fall out are sometimes unintentionally hilarious.

... I'unno, the thing that interests me is that tremorsense thing, I think. It says wide range movement detection (presumably outside of normal vision range?) but just how wide is wide? And does movement mean movement or...? Because on-call semi-long range champion detection (that also chains into other abilities, yeesh) sounds kinda' incredibly sexy to me. Screw bushes get rek'd. Ain't no hiding no more~

We don't bloody have that! It doesn't freaking exist!

Barring some unenforced BS lingering from decades ago, maybe. I won't discount that possibility.

... that is only tangentially, if that, related to your average one night stand, casual sexual relationship, or non-marital long-term relationship.

That's also not law against screwing outside of marriage. That's law against, y'know, freaking murder. Last I checked, adultery is perfectly legal. Grounds for a divorce, sure, and sometimes (bloody rarely) a mitigating issue in regards to murder, but you don't throw adulterers in jail anymore.

... so the PD is already starting to lie? Or I guess they just never stopped or somethin'?
