Honestly I wouldn't even bother saying it's an annotated Bible, as long as it's pulling from a translation of the Bible that a church would use, it's the same Bible.

I love when someone tries calling me out on not using "the right" translation, because depending on how the conversation has gone up to then, I will either pull out a king James edition, or start listing any of the dozens upon dozens of English translations available, asking if this one or that one was valid enough, until I've made my point.

My Bible when I first read all the way through was a new living translation children's adventure Bible. It had a few illustrations in the family-friendly well-covered areas, mostly new testament. I thought it was pretty fucked up in some parts already, and they did kind of change the phrasing and language to be less obvious to children what is being said.

The one I usually use for reference now is a new international version with no annotations or additional context that was gifted to me when I graduated highschool.

So a court has told another court to stop looking into court cases (and the people not following court orders) and let people not follow court orders.

So court orders are meaningless.

The Bible I read definitely had something to say about nobody except god knowing when jesus was supposed to come back.

Certainly never said you could summon God with a blood sacrifice.

Then again, most Christians have never read the Bible. If they had, they would probably be like me and no longer believe.

It allows rainwater to be absorbed rather than running off causing flooding.

There's an old theater I performed at twice in Southern Ohio. Built before the Civil War, and surrounded by brick buildings, a brick street out front, brick alley, and brick parking lot area.

The second time I was there, the street had been paved, as had the back parking area, and large portion of surrounding alleys. Only the single side alley was still brick.

The first time it rained the week I was there, the basement, while not flooded completely, had so much water running through it to the sunken boiler room, the owners had to toss down some quick 2x4 walkways so nobody was ruining costumes and footwear or slipping and suing. The walls of the basement looked like mini waterfalls.

I popped outside during a lull and the back parking area and alley were basically acting as a funnel, pushing all the water right up to the sides of the building.

I just checked a satellite map view and it looks like they've at least re-paved the back alley (don't know if it drains any better but it's clearly much darker and there's lines painted) and the building beside it is gone and instead there's a ton of grass. So maybe it's better, but I'm sure they shortened the remaining life of the building by a ton.

Surface looks damp, leaves and pine needles tend to stick a lot.

However, by the time you are done blowing, the surface will be bone dry and nobody will slip!

My headcannon: having read the Absolutely 100% canon books "Q-zone, W-Strike, and Q-space", my personal belief is that since Q is partially responsible for the entity in the center claiming to be god, Q decided to artificially speed up their journey to the barrier and back home. Nobody on the ship brought it up because nobody was even thinking about travel time in the middle of all that.

That hat is very cunning, I think.

Person walks down the street wearing that, people know they're not afraid of anything.

Well you see, the people in charge of tuning the replicator just need to be motivated by death, and then they'll find a workaround for literally any shortcoming!

Cant replicate a phased electron catalyzer and we don't have a backup? Well if you don't, everyone on this ship and that planet are dead in 20 minutes, so just invert the hadron matrix and it won't be a problem anymore!

(repeat every other season)

The only things it needs are power and base material.

The problem with complex things like starships and the like are some things can't be replicated, they have to be manufactured, refined, or otherwise produced.

Gotta have something to cripple how overpowered they are.

I'd spend the rest of my life trying to uncover every secret I can.

Imagine how many secret passages there must be...

Nobody needs/wants the white liberal to speak for them, but another voice in the crowd demanding something surely can't be a bad thing?
