*rant about christian names no longer being called christian names*
"I mean... you're a Christian right?"
"No"
"Yes you are."
"No I'm no-"
"Yes you are, you were baptised right?"
"Yes..."
"Well then you're one of us. You're in the gang. You can't just leave."

Oh grandparents. So... whatever grandparents are.

Yeah, that's one of the more pathetic reactions to the fall of religion. "You can't leave the club!"

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

That's just... I don't even... How?

Technically, though, LOtR was the sequel to The Hobbit.

Wasn't the Hobbit changed retroactively to fit in with LotR?

Yup. More thematically than anything, though; mentions of things like "policemen" were taken out, iirc.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Main change was the riddles in the dark chapter, where gollum is changed quite a bit.

And the ring gained it's corrupting powers only after the retcon. In the original Gollum was ready to part with the ring, but since he had lost it (and Bilbo had found it), he showed Bilbo the way out of the mountain instead.

How many pre-retcon "Hobbit" copies still exist?

Now I know what crazy bid I'll make if I ever become ludicrously wealthy.

I assume it was about cod tendies and an austerity-caused crunch in the supply of good boy points.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Slayerhero90 is the bard in A's court, singing his praises, while damning his enemies.

As with all bards, his skill level corresponds to the amount of pain he feels while dying.

Not sure what kind of Christian you are, but the Catholic church hasn't long suspended the official way to leave. Kind of a funny response to the surge in demand.

Edit: I meant "we're baptised as", no offence intended.
