Nah man, you gotta go with Hypercalvinism, billions of screaming burning sinners for His glory.

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.

Not even remotely similar.
I think I got that idea from reading Wikipedia too quickly. Having similar names does not help.

So did you guys figure out, if railguns can be spiritual or not?  :)

The two have no relation, but this remains the Railgun and Spirituality Thread.

Nah, it was determined pretty early it was at least possible. The relation is tenuous and probably not terribly expressed in the current time, but existent.

I doubt that the firing of a railgun can fail to be a spiritual experience.

Whether you're firing or being fired upon, or even simply observing.

Things do tend to get holy around railguns, it's true.

They even get holier around nailguns.

Alright, you get a nailgun and I get a railgun, and we see who gets the most holy.

Eehh... depends on the nailgun, and how you're counting it. If there's nothing to penetrate, a nailgun (or, bonus points, a staple gun) would probably be able to win the contest in terms of sheer quantity of holiness, since they shoot faster and can have multiple heads (i.e. they increment the holiness counter by >1 each time). If there is, a railgun may be able to win out, depending on how much it can go through. And if you're counting not just the quantity of holiness, but the volume and overall ft2 involved, the railgun's probably going to take a lead just due to the perforation sizes involved.

Comparative holiness in firearms is a tricky subject, is what I'm saying. Ultimately irrelevant, for we all bow our erogenous zones to the unsurpassed majesty of the Over Dakka, but full of areas to quibble within nonetheless.

Getting railed sends your soul to heaven.
Getting nailed makes you a God.
