Any news on Peace Talks
morriswalters:
Jim's channeling Karl Popper. Popper said, more or less, that if it couldn't be falsified, then it wasn't worth investigating. So if a being could retcon the creation of the universe there isn't any test you can propose that would allow you to contradict the idea. And this is a gross oversimplification.

We just change the story. Or drown it in more stories. We can oblivion war him out.

Works for me. :)

--- Quote from: Arjan on December 14, 2019, 11:15:31 PM ---If you look at it historically as in what people really believed at the time the hebrew god started as the head of a pantheon of gods with a wife and so on. The story changed and the other gods in the pantheon changed and some became angels just like some other gods later became saints. I think we can assume that Uriel's grace evolved from something that was originally even more like a mantle.

An interesting idea, but I don't think we can assume that it matches up quite the same as our world might. I think Serack's famous GUCMT might be closer to what is happening in the series. But that's just my opinion. I think TWG and his Angels, aside from the fact that they are confirmed to have existed "before" Time was a thing (a paradox of sorts), are just on a different level to the rest of the supernaturals.

Sorry. I just have some vague recollection of it, but I do mostly just watch videos posted on Youtube (as opposed to Reddit AMA's and magazine interviews whose transcripts I don't trust to be precise enough to be useful anyway). The main thing is that I recall Jim asking the question "how would you know." A question for in response to an answer is only the implication of an answer. Basically, even if I remember perfectly correctly, Jim did not say that the Creator wasn't the original creator.
Uriel didn't have his intellectus. If you recall, he had to ask where the towels (or sheets or some such thing) were.

Which fools worry you then? I mean there are plenty to worry about of course, but I have no real respect for them.
Fair enough, there is so many interviews and videos it can be hard to find it. No worries I will keep looking!
Yes that's right, I remember. But he did seemingly have all the knowledge he had accumulated at that point (which is odd, because cause and effect are not really a thing for such beings). He perfectly knew how many bullets Karen had taken. But the rest of the stuff he did have.
