The Prodigal Son is forgiven and redeemed from his destruction back into his family. But he's very much less than he was, having squandered what was his by right. And he doesn't get a new share in the inheritance he threw away on hookers and blow. It is of course possible that he will build up a new reward beyond his salvation by his deeds going forward (which was Xenich's point, you absolute mongrel of a non-man):
He doesn't get more, but he is treated just the same as always.

There's also The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard.

There have been cases where some porn stars have become Christians, but they understood what they have done and don't have relationships (knowing that no person who wants them, is descent) and they would never subject their children to such a possibility.

People who would are despicable and have no concern for their children.
This is not the moral of the Prodigal Son.
I don't understand how this could possibly follow from his post. What's the connection here?

I was raised Christian, I parted ways with it as a teenager because I was just too depressed and autistic.

I can't recall any passage in the Bible that demands former slatterns live the rest of their life as nuns, and there are stories like the prodigal son and the vineyard workers that suggest equal treatment is the proper behavior.

Every single porn star I'm aware of that 'repented' did not give up their ill-gotten gains.

@Roguey a much closer story is the story of Zacchaeus.
5 And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him, and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down; for this day I must abide in thy house.

6 And he made haste and came down; and received him with joy.

7 And when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner.

8 But Zacheus standing, said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wronged any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold.

9 Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

To add to this: being a tax collector, much of his wealth almost certainly came from defrauding people, which means that restoring his victims fourfold on top of giving away half of his wealth outright probably impoverished him.

Alleged Bioware employee leaks that it's only sold 1.5 million so far and expected to have lifetime sales of a mere 3 million. EA was expecting 10 https://www.smashjt.com/post/exclusive- ... -than-1-5m
“Your number of copies sold is wrong. The number the whistleblower gives you is a projection with the tail (basically over the lifetime of the game with sales). It currently has less than 1.5m sold. Sold to consumers. Not retail. So that is a MAJOR disaster for us at BioWare.”

“A lot of the info you mentioned seems correct to me, there is indeed a lot of talk of layoffs. However, you can confirm with your sources, but most of the staff was reassigned to other projects within EA for the time being. I myself have also been asked to help another project, but not at BioWare. Most people are not on Bowie at the moment; if your source says otherwise, then they are not telling you the truth.”

“The projections of copies sold are correct, they were expecting around 10 million. EA is allergic to risks nowadays and wants big blockbusters.”
JT reveals his ignorance by mistaking "Bowie" for a typo when that's their code name for the next Mass Effect (much like how Joplin was Dreadwolf's). If they're not sending DA team members to ME, sounds like they're about ready to close up shop.

1.5m sounds pretty realistic, but I don't think EA expected 10m just before release. Maybe that was their expectations 8+ years ago when they greenlit this project.

Yeah. And just like how it has been stated in this site a few times, that a decade ago the ones at the helm of these projects were genuinely expecting that - by the time these slops were completed - the world would have already been transformed into one were everything woke is celebrated and mass consumed regardless if it was good or not.

I assume that by the start of this year even the higher ups at EA were starting to see the change in the world tides.

I watched a clip of her romance scene and I was not thrilled with how after having sex with the PC she immediately starts talking about the other guy she had sex with in the past.

At least there was no such talk from Josephine.
I noticed that in these bioware romances. They really make the effort to even force some out of place dialogue just to make you understand that these characters are degenerates.

Like, is that supposed to make anyone feel anything but disgust? What happened to virgin women? Is it too crazy to think that in this medieval fantastic world most women weren't just ******* around like horny MEN?

But I guess that's part of the message: we are a feminist woke team and we think women are empowered by ******* around and being ''experienced''. You better like your women used up, goy!

You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.

You guys need to understand something about feminism. In feminism women are taught that to be a ***** is empowering. A true and empowered woman has a body count in the double digits. You can't call yourself a strong woman unless you slept with a couple dozen men. You must understand that, much like with the black community, women have a crabs in the bucket mentality with each other. Women don't like seeing other women be happy and more successful than them. Especially with men. So they will promote and encourage behaviors that are destructive to women, such as promiscuity, in a bid to keep women down and to also demoralize men. Nobody hates and sabotages women more than other women.

100% right again, since it was one of the founding figures of feminism - who herself was an ugly post-menopause hag - who said that in order for the feminism movement to go anywhere all women must have their agency taken away from them, because as long as women have the ability to choose by themselves without nobody else's input, they will always choose to get married to a man who loves them and have children to nourish as their life goal.

A lot less than her being chubby tbh. Being small could be a benefit for a scout.
