There's a story that Wong Wifu, the great Chinese martial artist... had a fight with a guy and beat him. Then the guy gave him this light tap. Wong looked at him and the guy just nodded. That was it. He had given him the death touch. Wong died.
Then and there?
No. About eighteen years later. That's the thing about Dim Mak... you never know when it's gonna take effect.
Statistically if you're born, at some point you will die. Being born is deadly.
About 90-95% of humans have died at some point in their lives so yeah very likely we will follow suit at some point.
It's more than that... I know you were joking but ...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimates_of_historical_world_population
Yeah it's estimated but it's a shit ton of people so it's more like 99.9%
Hang on there based on the image, 7.95 billion alive today, 109 billion have lived and died, that's like 93% death rate not 99.9%. Is there some other figure on the page you're basing the 99.9% off?
You underestimate the effects of population growth. There was a lot of time in prehistory but the population at any given point was tiny compared to today.
i remember an old article that said DNA shows that all current humans can be traced back to 7 women during the ice age.
There were probably more around at the time, all the other bloodlines just died off.
And they were all neighbours in the same age and shared a WhatsApp group.
Those people were alive and died it doesn't matter... There have been more people dead than are currently living by a lot.
We don't care how many people were alive back than compared to today. It's the total amount to how many have died...
We don’t care how many people were alive back than compared to today.
But that is exactly the ratio you claim to be 99.9% when in reality it is closer to 93%.
No your right, my bad I'm terrible at math and sick
Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Blood for the blood god. Khorne loves him
Blood for the blood god.
Tendies for the tendie throne.
Can I take a moment to talk to you about our one true lord and saviour, Satan?
Is Jehovah witness Satan different from regular Christian Satan?
No, in such a way that neither of those denominations represent Satan correctly.
You've got me curious. Care to elaborate?
Satan seems to be the good guy in the Bible, given there's scant evidence of a literal hell of eternal damnation. Even if any of this were real, god created hell, not Satan.
Satan never destroyed the entire world or nuked cities or anything like that. I can't think of a bad thing he does in the Bible except maybe the Job bet. And even then god is worse on that one.
Here are the tenets of the Satanic Temple. You decide.
Eh, the concept of hell really varies a lot by denomination, from the classic burning hell in Catholicism to a more "internal" hell of separation from God in Eastern Orthodoxy. I personally subscribe a bit more to the latter than the former, because I don't understand why a loving god would punish his children who disobey for eternity. In this latter view, Satan is merely an angel who rebelled and was kicked out of God's presence, and thus his only goal is to ruin things for the rest of us.
I've seen the tenets and absolutely agree with them. Don't think they seriously represent Satan though. I think the name is purely for shock. Religious types couldn't fathom a satanist being a decent person.
