13 has no redeeming qualities at all. Horrible game with the worst character in video game series history (Hope). I did enjoy 13-2 though. As for the rest of my rankings I hate action combat in a final fantasy game so 16, the most action oriented one and the only one with no party members gets 2nd worst. 1-3 I think are self-explanatory; fun games but barebones stories and still better than 16 and 13. 15 and 12 are low because they aren't turn-based although, again I enjoyed those two as well. I have always considered 7 to be incredibly overrated although it is objectively a great game.
For the top 3: 8 was the first final fantasy game I remember playing so it has a special place in my heart. I love the story although it is the game most in need of a remake to fix the level scaling nonsense where it is better for you to not level up the entire game. I don't mind the junction system. 6 is one of the greatest games ever made and would have easily been #1 if 9 didn't exist.
In general all of the games outside of 13 and 16 I have enjoyed with the series having a few of the best games ever made in my opinion.

It's the British model and it sucks.
On-topic great last episode although the gay stuff with Dr. Park is too much because every other line out of his mouth is about being bi. The nurses also continue to be awful and they need to be replaced in season 2.

The idea that Hezbollah was included in the ceasefire is insane. Even so, Iran still hasn't fully opened the strait so they immediately violated the ceasefire even if Hezbollah was part of it.
In NFL '95 there was a TE for the Giants, Aaron Pierce, that you could put at RB. He was unable to be tackled. I had a ton of fun as a 9 year old starting every drive at the 1 and just handing it off to him.

But this isn't a D v R discussion. Will this stand up in court? Probably not but it depends on what regulatory power in education funding that Congress has ceded to the executive. If it's broad, and it is a restriction of general funds then it might stand up to a challenge. If the funding Trump is saying to restrict is from restricted funds or appropriated for a specific purpose then it won't. However, it's worth a fight and maybe Congress will see it's popular and pass actual legislation regarding this.

quote:
After experiencing all of that, would you deny Jesus?
As I sit here today, comfortably on my couch? No. In real time I'd like to say no but who knows how I would respond. I like to think I would take a bullet for my family if I was ever in that situation but I don't know how I would react with death staring me in the face and no one does.
Humans are flawed. So the apostles saw Lazarus raised from the dead. There are numerous reports of something similar happening, look at Celsus' objection to Christianity based on reports of a stoic, I believe but I may be wrong I'm going from memory, raising someone from the dead and performing miracles similar to Jesus. The apostles were men and they faltered after one of their own betrayed Jesus and he was brutally executed. Based on the writings we have, which you can discount because they are the canonical books of the New Testament or from other early Christians, that changed after the resurrection appearances and Pentecost.
I understand not believing, it's a matter of faith and I occasionally have doubts as well. And while I would love to change your opinion you have free will and I'm not going to harangue you about it, but I do not think that the apostle's lack of faith in the immediate aftermath of Jesus being arrested and crucified, when we have a written record of them doubting while Jesus was present, is a strong argument.
ETA: changed "is not a strong argument" to "is a strong argument" for grammatical purposes.
quote:
Peter walked on fricking water. Himself. Personally.
Then faltered and sank beneath the waves because he lacked faith. Throughout the four gospels there is a narrative of the 12 not understanding Jesus' message and role. The apostles were human with all of our flaws. They saw their teacher brutally executed and I'm sure they questioned if what they had experienced was real or not.
quote:
I’m not saying it’s surprising; I’m saying we have functionally zero disinterested accounts of the lives and deaths of the apostles, so citing self serving accounts of their grand faith and sacrifice isn’t particularly persuasive to non-believers, which is why little skits like the OP are meant to galvanize the in group against the out group by creating a caricature of the out group.
That's fair. I do think the stories in the New Testament are far from self-serving though. You have Peter's denials of Jesus, Peter's doubt causing him to sink beneath the waves after walking on water, many more of Peter's failures, Paul's complicity in murdering Stephen and other early Christians, doubting Thomas, et al. Really the only person who has a glowing biography is James, the brother of Jesus, and he's barely mentioned in the NT. The apostles in the New Testament are mostly characterized as regular humans with all of our faults.
I do agree with your point on the video in the OP though. People have been willing to die, and have martyred themselves, for a lot of faiths I consider to be incorrect. Willing to sacrifice your life doesn't mean what you believe in is correct. If it was then Islam is the obviously correct religion.
quote:
But regardless, someone remind me: how much did Josephus allegedly mention the apostles, and their lives/deaths with particularly? I remember he referenced John the Baptist with particularity, but I could be forgetting other passages.
He also mentioned James, the brother of Jesus. It's not surprising he didn't mention the apostles in his writing since, at the time, Christianity was still a pretty small population and I don't know why that would matter anyway. Not everyone of value is always mentioned and there would be no need to reference specific people preaching about Jesus since Josephus, and Tacitus, reference Jesus and Christians existing. Pliny the Younger wrote a letter to At best in the eyes of Roman writers the apostles were a sect of Judaism and no different than any other cult in the empire so why would they write about them?
quote:The current phrasing of the testimonium flavianum has been altered by early Christians but historians do generally agree it mentioned Jesus and Christians worshiping him.
Eusebius is the one accused of… fluffing… Josephus’ accounts in order to bolster his narrative. His “messiah” passage is particularly infamous.

They won't be "soldiers" in the normal sense but they will 100% be placed in Basij and IRGC bases or used in the checkpoints the Basij have been setting up. That way when we bomb them they can cry about us killing children.

I just beat that mission yesterday and I'm with you. Each person you killed counted for 0.55% of the total 100%. It was ridiculous. Not difficult but ridiculous, I was just ready for it to be over.
Overall, I'm really enjoying the game though.
