You’ll Like the Matrix if you Know What’s Good For You

Posted on June 8, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

By now we’ve all seen it. The trailer was hype, and it was watched millions of times in the first 24 hours. A NEW MATRIX FILM! Larry Wachowski (Calling himself “Lana” now, because of his amazing new wig of unnatural colors) was writing/directing this new movie and the world could not be more excited to see it. Not only were we going back to the Matrix, but with a Keanu Reeves who had been trained in guns and kung fu for not one, but THREE successful John Wick movies. The man is a combat legend now. This could be the GREATEST MATRIX MOVIE OF THEM ALL!!!

And then… we saw it.

STOP! Don’t waste 2 hours on this movie!

OK, I’ll just say what everyone is already thinking. Matrix 4 a hideous dumper fire that makes us long for the days of Adam Sandler films. It’s the Star Wars Holiday Special of the Matrix Universe. It’s like tween fan fic writers who hated the first movie were forced to watch it six times a day and then write about how they felt. It was an amazing master class on how NOT to make a movie.

John Calvin Clause is Coming to TOOOOOWN!

Posted on June 6, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

I think the Santa Claus mythology needs to be updated to make it more Calvinist. This easy believism of Santa, where you can just choose to believe and he rewards your niceness is nonsense. No one is nice! That’s a heresy fest right there! So I’m going to fix it to include the Calvinistic TULIP and some James White approved Divine Determinism!

Evolution’s Software Problem

Posted on June 4, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

Have you ever plugged in a WebCam and found that your computer didn’t know what to do with it? The WebCam was structurally sound but there was no software that could read it and show you an image. There you are with a device that has a perfectly good lens, a method of catching the light and turning it into an electrical signal, and the cable to send it to the computer. But the computer says, “What camera?”

Let me tell you from experience. At that point, you get to stare blankly at your monitor and come to grips with the fact that there is nothing you can do. If there isn’t already software on that computer that can read the information from the camera, there’s nothing you can do to teach your computer how to do the job. You’re not going to sweet talk your PC into popping up a window with an image of you captured from the web cam. You got nothing.

Encounter with an Atheist Roach Clown! | Feedback Friday!

Posted on June 3, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

Welcome back to Feedback Friday! Arkenatan (Aka: Ark) is a FREQUENT commenter on quite a few Christian blogs. I had seen him making LOTS of comments other blogs. Ark’s modus operandi is pretty simple, as you will see. What remains a TOTAL mystery, even though I have tried to get him to explain it to me on several occasions, if WHY HE BOTHERS. He is an atheist/evolutionist who spends a LOT of time in the comments of Christian and Creationist bloggers. A LOT of time. But he NEVER makes reasonable arguments or presents evidence for his position or against your own. I can’t imagine what he thinks he’s accomplishing, or how it could be enjoyable for him. None the less, this seems to be his only hobby.

Behold! The Roach Clown!

So one day he dropped in on my blog to generally ignore the content and toss out vague yet leading questions:

Soul is a Good Movie Ruined from the Outside

Posted on June 1, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

I wrote about why Pixar’s Soul is actually a horrible depiction of a black American man who gets killed before the movie is halfway done, and then isn’t a black man for almost ALL of the rest of the film. I explained how, not only is the lead character, Joe, a poor depiction of SEVERAL unflattering stereotypes of black men in America, but then when his body is taken over by a white woman, everything in his life starts to go BETTER. But with all of my criticisms (which I stand by) I do want to take the time to tell you that, if you have Disney+, you should give it a watch.

Here’s the reasons why:

I Don’t Understand Calvinism (Yes I do)

Posted on May 30, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

My feed brought up a link to a video where in James White (Calvinist) and Doug Wilson (Calvinist) debate each other about Child Communion (I don’t care). I was the first person in the comment’s section, and so I put on the Snark Locks Key and typed the following:

Calvinist Vs Calvinist! Each presenting the position they were determined to hold and praying that God determines the other to change his mind because we don’t have the free will to be persuaded and choose to believe!

As you can imagine, the comments under my comment have been lively. Some non-Calvinists got the gist right away. Weirdly, some Calvinists have not been as accepting of my brilliant summation.

Pizza Robots are Taking Over the World!

Posted on May 28, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange
Behold your doom! Your delicious, convenient doom!

When Trump was “voted” out of office because of low gas prices and his historically high employment rates, especially among black, Hispanic and female workers… oops! I meant, because of his mean Tweets (some of which- according to a special report by CNN which I am NOT making up- even contained MISSPELLINGS) one of the things the Democratic left was DEMANDING was a higher minimum wage. A “Living Wage.”

People like millionaire Bernie “Mittens” Sanders was demanding that the toilet scrubber at McDonalds make AT LEAST $15 an hour. THIS, they insisted, is a BASIC HUMAN RIGHT! Along with healthcare, Wi-Fi, and the password to someone’s Netflix account. EVERYONE, they insisted, deserves to make a LIVING WAGE!

Evolution was developed by Cartographers? Also, Puppy Killing | Feedback Friday!

Posted on May 27, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

Welcome to Feedback Friday! I recently received this comment from a faithful reader (And by “Faithful”, naturally I mean she is an atheist/evolutionist/animal rights advocate who has stopped by a few times to assure me that I am an idiot.) Here is her comment in its entirety:

Pixar’s Soul has no Heart (and it’s racist)

Posted on May 25, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

Disney/Pixar’s Soul was paraded in ads as the FIRST Disney/Pixar movie with a black lead character! An actual African American person on screen, voiced by an actual African American person behind the scenes! And many of us said to ourselves, “Wait… what happened to Frozone from Disney/Pixar’s Incredibles and Incredibles 2?”

“Honey? Where is my public recognition?”

Do you see that Barack Obama? That’s what it’s going to be like when America gets a president with TWO black parents. You will be the presidential Frozone. But I digress.

A “Consistent” Calvinist Clears Things Up

Posted on May 23, 2022 by A Bit Of Orange

Ok, look. I don’t want to become one of those people who writes about Calvinism all of the time. The ONLY REASON I’m doing this is because I love you guys, and I want to save you a huge amount of time. I watched NINE HOURS of John Piper so I could explain TULIP to you. Now I’m going to tackle one of the strangest parts of Calvinism that I only discovered recently: Devine Determinism.

Devine Determinism teaches that EVERYTHING that EVER HAPPENS is DETERMINED by God. Not merely allowed and then used by his Wisdom to bring about His good plans, but DETERMINED. God is the great puppet master, and we are his puppets (But don’t say that to a Calvinist because they hate it even though, technically, they agree with it). In short, they have decided that we do not have free will.
