Refugee from another, less-friendly instance. Please forgive the youth of my account— I’ve actually been around here for a while. Still, glad to be here!

  • If God is all powerful and created human. How come God in endowed with human emotions? Shouldn't he or she be beyond that?

  • Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?

  • Can you imagine how good Smurfs must taste when Gargamel can't decide whether to eat them or turn them into gold?

  • Cookery or alchemy, my point remains the same. I just think it’s possible that there is more involved in the calculus than we’re aware of.

    Although, to be fair, Gargamel’s desire to cook the Smurfs rather than turn them into gold always seemed to be a function of his maleficent cruelty rather than anything logical.

    Perhaps these were empty threats merely meant to terrorize them, and that was possibly his only goal. Maybe they can’t be turned into gold or eaten. Maybe he just wanted to scare the shit out of him. Another piece of evidence to support this theory is the fact that Gargamel never actually cooked a Smurf nor turned one into gold. He only ever threatened to do so, while also missing several opportunities to do so.

    Was the Smurfs’ interaction with Gargamel TVs first presentation of a metaphor that speaks against prejudice, bigotry, and hate crime? Against the terrorizing nature of bullies?

    Since we’re already overthinking the hell out of this, we might as well ask.

  • Interesting thought, however, Gargamel was some sort of wizard. It’s more likely that he would perform the conversion himself.

    Still, perhaps the cost of any necessary reagents or other ingredients required to turn Smurfs into gold were not (or barely) worth the gold they produced.

  • I’m not sure if the metaphor of you anthropomorphizing an inanimate object is the best one to criticize the projection of one’s own desires and wills onto a fantasy deity. For one thing, your car actually exists, even if its emotions do not. Also, believing that your car simply doesn’t like cold and damp weather is a rather harmless belief. For a person to believe that a god’s will reflects their personal wishes and desires is inherently dangerous. I’m not aware of anyone rationalizing hate crimes because they thought the car didn’t like a certain group of people.
