That's what @HighlandLawyer meant by heresy, I guess.
Certainly sounds like a good way to get smitten, trying to lord it over Thy Lord Almighty because you're impatient to get your treats.
@alexmorse @HighlandLawyer @cstross (Yes, of course I'm trying to find the most insulting comparison that still works. I hope that was clear when I put them in the same bin as the most gullible of pacific islanders from a century ago.)
@alexmorse @HighlandLawyer @cstross not allowing themselves to even discuss the meaning of their foundational texts seems like an evolution though. It's not like the whole thing is even pretending to be immutable word-from-God level stuff, collated and fragmentary as it obviously is. And then getting the description vs. prescription thing wrong feels like a very basic mistake. Very un-master race galaxy brain. About as bad as getting Marxism wrong, bolchevik-style, really.

I get the feeling that apocalyptic Christian extremism is basically Christianity-as-a-cargo-cult. They have a story of Rapture and Reward that they do not (are not allowed to) understand the deeper meaning of, being literalists. That story tells them that their savior and his kingdom will return after some series of events. Ergo, if they make these events occur, Jesus will come back and give them their due. It can't be a prediction, it has to be an instruction manual.
@guenterhack the bombing didn't bring democracy. The bombing (and shelling, and shooting, etc.) was to eliminate the Übermenschen death cult.
The "democracy" was brought (as much as it was) by the years of intentional and thoughtful cultural rebuilding after liberation from the cult, building on centuries of locally pre-existing Enlightenment thought.
As a German, I fully agree with Mr. Polanski's quoted words here.

@elba013 Die erscheinen mir genauso verhältnismäßig wie die zwanzig Jahre (geplante) Bauzeit der Stamm2, oder die 9 Jahre der UVR Laim. Die Sanierung im Tunnel Gräfelfing (A96, 281m) soll auch 4J dauern, bis Ende 2027. Alles weit weg vom 1. Stammstreckenbau (6 Jahre, 4200m, 6 Bahnhalte, etc). Wo genau das gekippt ist, würde mich auch interessieren. Ebenso wie die Frage, ob die volkswirtschaftlichen Kosten so langer Baustellen bei der Planung bzw. der NKU im Blick sind.
@elba013 Ich hab das immer so verstanden, dass da jetzt die Standstreifenfreigabe ermöglicht werden soll, was einigen Umbau-Aufwand für die Technik mit sich bringt. Bei dem Anlass macht man dann auch gleich die große Wartung, wenn man schon eine Baustelle einrichtet.
Eine "Generalsanierung" nach 30-40J scheint mir bei Straßeninfra nicht so abwegig, v.a. bei Tunneln mit Sicherheitstechnik. Ist man nur nicht mehr gewohnt, da wir über die letzten ~40 Jahre alle Infrastruktur haben verkommen lassen.
@twobiscuits @jynersolives
Everyone will. Or more likely, the few remaining humans will, if we get to the "total war" part. Remember there's about 10000 more nuclear bombs around, compared to last time.
@Bahnblogstelle schlecht oder eher ungeprüft aus der Polizeimeldung abgeschrieben... der Bahnhof heißt (immer schon) Radersdorf, er liegt lediglich auf dem Gebiet der Marktgemeinde Kühbach an der Bahnstrecke Ingolstadt-Augsburg.
