Repentence is not just saying you're sorry. You have to mean it, and take on an act to undo the actions.
eh, if the norm isn't useful, but also hinders good actions, fuck the norm.
It's not bad at all. Hell, not even really arrogant, although even arrogance is only bad if you're wrong.
Which is to say, Paul is a Knurd.
Aye. That the Silver City chose not to aid humanity during the invasion from Hell, shows that they're really not worth bothering with. Certainly no more than any other religion.

Interesting read, although I didn't see anything declaring it non-canon? Last I knew, and I wish I was making this up, Squirrel girl has confirmed victories over Thanos, Dr. Doom, and GALACTUS. All because someone at Marvel thinks it's funny, and that people are too uptight and unaccepting of stupid comedy.
At the time, when I was a kid, I enjoyed it quite a bit. It still has a special place in my heart, even if the martial arts in it...annoyed me. My issue is anime that came afterwards, that copied DBZ without bothering to fix the problems DBZ had. Or increasing those same problems. Naruto for example threw everything away to just become more like DBZ. To be honest...I think the only worthy successor has been One Piece....let me guess, you're not a Dragonball Z fan.
Yay!!
Hmmm...I don't remember releasing a clone. There was that one threesome though...I don't recall all the details.
I'm tired of the tiredness. Nah, kidding. I just don't really get what everyone is talking about.
You and me both.
Eh, I have faith that Zoat won't be that boring. I'm just seeing a lot of Tall Poppy syndrome going on.
And I love it. I hate stupid unspoken rules. "Why must we do this?" "Because it's what we've always done."
Wow is that a blatant callback to Paulphidian.
But that's exactly it. The closest thing left to the literal Devil showed up outside the Hall of Justice and Paul kicked his ass and nothing. The self delusion only applies to the guy with feathery wings.
This continuity? If I'm not mistaken - one, and it resulted in creation and official U.N. sanctioning (with large budget allocations by member states) of the Justice League.
I dunno. One of the things that popped up in the story was that the fruit was not some verboten may never, ever be taken thing, And that if a Gabriel-in-good-standing had wanted the fruit, he could have just requisitioned one on his own authority. And then at the end, when the poor angel who had been nothing but polite and respectful was having a BSOD moment, I would have tried to repent as much as I was able. Out of compassion and pity if nothing else. Because he was standing there in front of me, suffering. And using "want the ends, want the means" is a bit bullshit if the ends (a fruit of knowledge) have the means (get it from the garden somehow), but that somehow didn't actually require theft, and the theft was just a lazy, unnecessary step made along the way. And if I couldn't have convinced myself, that's alright. I would have said the lie anyway, because Zauriel seemed to be personally hurting, might have accepted it because if he did, that would have freed him to leave.
This feels very much like a rerun of the orange-poisoning after the home invasion. Paul is loosing it, and at an increasing rate.
I have to wonder if he has interacted with anyone in the last, say three months, and come away thinking that they are making rational decisions. Because at this point I'm pretty confident he is using 'rational' like SB used to use 'competent'.
This is something that Paul desperately needs to meditate on. Because he keeps trying to 'help' people and everyone with a shred of authority over him keep telling him to go away.
Fundamentally? Disregarding the opinions of others, with no thought to the consequences of doing so.
Yes, but the only thing that you and I really seem to disagree on is whether I'm a good cook, and fuck you, I am.
No, people are cool with the Eagle helmed Thanagarians. It's just the albino one they're rioting over.
Well, there were/are Durlans, but, in the absence of evidence, I think my point stands: after experiencing a worldwide invasion, the world reacted, by sanctioning JL. Of course then something went wrong. Very wrong.
I wouldn't bet on them not hearing the angels side. He was speaking in bold with biblical chapter markings. I don't think he was using his indoor voice. Also, messenger of the lord. I would be surprised if everyone who saw him heard it, and everyone who heard it understood it. The angels side if the conversation at least. Pauls responses, probably not.
I've made that exact observation before.
No, if you watch some of the science shows about how we think and perceive the world, there are biases and short cuts hard wired into the brain that make us want to make erroneous conclusions about factual, observable phenomenon. Human are as a species insane, and a person who tells you otherwise is just another patient in the nuthouse pulling your leg. You are conflating normality for sanity, when rejecting objective reality because you have visceral emotional reaction against it is the essence of insanity. It is also something humans are innately predisposed to do. But that doesn't make it sane.
That incident might have been reported as demons, and as widely believed as that the guy who flew into the base was an angel, but Paul didn't get any backlash because the problem was there before him and most people (who believed he was fighting demons) approved of fighting demons.
