The AP/DP values of Homura Akemi (01-058) and Kyouko Sakura (01-065) in the translation boxes don’t correspond to those printed on the cards, if I’m not mistaken.

Wish I had a chance to play too. I’d suck at it, though, since I have a tendency to pick cards I like over the effective ones in TCGs xD.

Oh, no. I’m fully aware that I’m an outlier when it comes to my views of morality (comes with the territory of being an atheist and a humanist). At the same time, I bet more people would lean my way if they actually had to face life and death situations and make difficult, practical decisions on a daily basis than either of us might like. It’s fine to talk a good game when things are peaceful, but there’s a survival instinct in us that extends beyond individuals to include families and societies as well.

I think this conversation has already strayed far enough off topic (nobody is talking about Madoka) and as much as I enjoy a good debate, I just don’t have the time for any more than what you’re seeing on this blog right now (also, I don’t IRC). I’ll continue to address comments here as they come up so you can respond as much as you’d like publicly–by writing this controversial series I sort of opened the door for people to “come at ME,” and not the other way around. But despite how successful my Madoka > Jesus series has been at revitalizing my site, I want to focus on new material as well.

Ugh, I forgot one more thing.

“…belief in god is too high a price to pay for heaven because it’s intellectually dishonest…”
Come at me. Perhaps it would be more convenient if we emailed each other, lol. Unless, of course, you’d like our conversation to be public.

There is, pragmatically, no difference between a person killing another for survival and a person sacrificing themselves for the life of another. But we see one as noble and another as an abomination. Wonder why?

Whether in sacrificing one’s self for the lives of others or by protecting our own lives, I think it’s plain to see that there are some things we all value. I think there’s a bottom line to morality and we all know it. It’s just not as close to the middle as you think many people believe =)
