Some quotes on religion

George Carlin said:
Religion convinced the world that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do. And there's 10 things he doesn't want you to do or else you'll go to a burning place with a lake of fire until the end of eternity. But he loves you! ...And he needs money! He's all powerful, but he can't handle money!

George Carlin said:
This is a lttle prayer dedicated to the separation of church and state. I guess if they are going to force those kids to pray in schools they might as well have a nice prayer like this: Our Father who art in heaven, and to the republic for which it stands, thy kingdom come, one nation indivisible as in heaven, give us this day as we forgive those who so proudly we hail. Crown thy good into temptation but deliver us from the twilight's last gleaming. Amen and Awomen.


George Carlin said:
I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

While we are quoting George Carlin, here's one(Or more) of his best:
George Carlin said:
They might tell you your flight has been delayed because of a change of equipment... Broken Plane.
George Carlin said:
Here we are, a plane full of grown human begins - many of us partially educated - and they're actually taking time out to describe the intricate working of a belt buckle! 'Place the small metal flap into the buckle'

Religion convinced the world that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do. And there's 10 things he doesn't want you to do or else you'll go to a burning place with a lake of fire until the end of eternity. But he loves you! ...And he needs money! He's all powerful, but he can't handle money!
While it is funny, this completely misrepresents and shows his ignorance about Catholicism. God does not need money: the church (the physical building and community where people worship God) needs money for the building, pastors, taxes, church programs, etc. Since churches have no income, they need donations to support themselves. Also, the assumption that God is a man (or women) is wrong. God is a divine being, and therefore he is neither a man or a women. The 10 commandments were for the Jews when they were exiled in Egypt. And God has given the Sacrament of Confession, so when we confess we are forgiven our sins.

This is a lttle prayer dedicated to the separation of church and state. I guess if they are going to force those kids to pray in schools they might as well have a nice prayer like this: Our Father who art in heaven, and to the republic for which it stands, thy kingdom come, one nation indivisible as in heaven, give us this day as we forgive those who so proudly we hail. Crown thy good into temptation but deliver us from the twilight's last gleaming. Amen and Awomen.
This shows that he is ignorant of the reason why we HAD the separation of church and state. It wasn't to completely separate religion from government, but to allow people to practice their beliefs without the government forcing a religion on them. People in England were being persecuted religiously because they were forced to be Protestant or Catholic depending on their king/queen at the time. Anyone who had different beliefs were executed. Now, it is almost a crime to have ANY beliefs without being attacked due to the wrongful interpretation of the constitution.


Now I cleared it up, more quotes:

"Black goes well with everything... as long as it is black" Neil Gaiman

"“What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good on this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?” -Tolkien

“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renenwed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”
-Tolkien

“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”
-Tolkien

Mephisto said:
My brothers, at long last we stand re-united. The infernal gate has been prepared, while the time of our final victory is at hand. Let the way to hell be open ... and the evil that was once vanquished shall rise anew. Wrapped in the guise of man shall you walk amongst the innocent, and terror shall consume they that dwell upon earth. The sky shall rain fire, and the seas will become as blood. The righteous shall fall before the wicked. And all creation shall tremble before the burning standards of Hell. The gate stands ready. Now my young brother, the time has come to assume your true form... Arise Diablo ... Lord of Terror... You are the harbinger of our return Diablo. Send forth your terror into Hell.

"Who do you think we are!? We're not animals! We're human, just like you! There's no difference other than our families! You ever been hungry? With only soup to eat for months? Why do we have to suffer? Because you nobles deprive us of our right to live!"

"Human? Hmph, ridiculous! From the minute you were born you had to obey us! From the second you were born you were our animals!"

"Says who!? That's nonsense! Who decided all this?!"

"It is the Will of Heaven!"

"Heaven? God would never say such things! In his eyes, all are equal! He'd never let this happen! Never!"

"Animals have no God!"

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
