In 22 days, this post will be posted last year.

I remember I did a telephone game in the forums once, it was hilarious. We managed to turn the word birb into the word Hand Ache, bear into kitchen, minecraft into (ball haze? what?), salt into whack, and "holy... oh god this is popping off lol" into "Keelhaul mutt, calm scene parlour chips on lasagna". I cracked up so much going back and seeing all the things people managed to change things into :)

So I tried skinning for the first time in a year

Wasn't that bad, but it took me 1/2 hour to make PJs and another 1/2 hour to make hair.

Idk why it's so complicated to make a minecraft skin this caliber. I need to take a break or my 🧠 will 💣

Aight. I'm not a political person. At. all. Please don't mistake me. But what I will say is this.

I am liberal. I always have been. But there is one small point where I cross party lines, and this is on abortion.

Please, hear me out, ok? I'm not trying to start another internet argument. You can choose to listen or not.

Rape is a different story. See paragraph 4 for more.

¶1: Abstinence
¶2: Sex
¶3: God and Abortion: "Baby's fetus, baby's choice?"
¶4: Rape and being financially unable to carry a baby
¶5: Regrets
¶6: Conclusion

I do not believe in abortion. I believe that there should be no need for abortion because, if people were careful, they wouldn't get pregnant in the first place, and end up needing an abortion. Abstinence is the most effective tool you can use in matters like these.

Sex is not for fun. Sex is for creating children / reproduction, not pleasure. God created sex for people to have children. It is sad that people choose to waste away their bodies for the short-term pleasure it gives them. That is sexual immorality. Your virginity is the gift your partner deserves, and that is the gift you deserve as well. What is not sexual immorality is people having sex within a marriage. That is ok. God created your nervous systems to feel things during sex. But it is pointless, just like there is no point in flaunting the fact you have the right to and/or carry a gun. The truth is, there's no point in having sex other than to have children. There are other ways to bond.

Which brings me to my main statement. So many pro-abortion activists and others argue that abortion is about the woman, and that the law has no jurisdiction of what women do to their bodies. This is true. But guess what - God does! Your body does not belong to you. Your body was created by God and God alone. You were conceived by your mother, but who caused your father's sperm and your mother's egg to meet? GOD! God says abortion is wrong, and that every life is sacred. God's word is the law. The law has no jurisdiction over what you do over your body. But the fact that your body is God's, and that God's law is supreme over all other law, says something. And what about the baby? Oh, the baby. Just like a dog can't make choices on its own, a baby can't. So what? If the dog could have a choice, a choice between being adopted or certain death/starvation, what would it choose? Just like this, if a baby was given a choice between life and death, what would it choose? Even having a defect like blindness or deafness or muteness or a syndrome, wouldn't a baby rather experience all the good in life? If we truly care so much about the baby and its troubles in life, then shouldn't we take its opinion into account also? The fetus is not the mother. They are separate bodies, just one within the other.

Rape is a pest in our society. These are the places where organizations come into play. Those who are raped experience severe trauma. Organizations, especially those who deal with planned parenthood, can help you use non-extreme measures that don't involve abortion and killing a life that is sacred. Even if you don't want the baby, there are so many people who can, and will, want to adopt a baby. The same applies for people who can't financially handle another life. I've heard stories of people going to places such as India and China, solely for the purpose of adopting. Often, these people cannot have babies, but want to! Abortion is not the only solution. Abortion is the evil creation of our minds, who wander to the extreme but don't think of the good. Why should we meet injustice with injustice? Many may not think of abortion as injustice. See paragraph 3 for why I say it is injustice.

Lastly, how many of those women who are actually pro-abortion have actually had an abortion? Abortion is stressful! It is a sad time. Not only does it kill a life (murder in the eyes of God). Even pro-choice people admit that women would rather just not get pregnant instead of having an abortion! Some may experience relief, but God does not! It is sin, sin in the eyes of God. Nothing can, or will, ever be changed about that.

In conclusion, I do not believe what people say as to why abortion is ok. God's word is final to me.

Have a blessed day everyone.

Ok. This rant is controversial. Some might like it, some might not. But whatever side you are on, the goal of this is the truth. So the truth I will give you. Please share this so that other people know what is going on.


In late 2020, Minecraft and Microsoft rolled out a new moderation system on the Bedrock editions of the game, in secret. This moderation system banned people from joining multiplayer modes and realms. This system had good intentions, but quickly went downhill from there. Players on Nintendo Switch and XBOX controllers quickly realized that they were getting banned from playing survival, too.

Here is where my neutrality ends. This moderation system is now coming to our coveted Java Edition in Minecraft 1.19.1.

#1: Microsoft has absolutely no right to ban players from their OWN SURVIVAL WORLDS. This is a gross abuse of power and some players have spent months, even years, in their own survival worlds.

#2: MICROSOFT KNOWS THIS WILL MAKE THEM PROFIT, AND THAT IS A MAIN REASON WHY THEY ARE DOING THIS.

What do I mean? Well, if you get banned from multiplayer, you get banned from your OWN PRIVATE REALM, which once again, YOU PAID FOR, and while Microsoft has the right to do this, it's just a gross violation. The worst part is, YOU HAVE TO CANCEL YOUR OWN REALMS SUBSCRIPTION, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T AUTO CANCEL WHEN YOU GET MULTI-PLAYER BANNED. Microsoft will literally continue to farm money off of people even when they get multi-player banned.

#3: This shows the respect between Microsoft and the Minecraft Community is ZERO. Not only have they taken away our freedom of speech, they have also now have taken away from server owners the right for them to moderate their own servers as they wish. This is outrageous.


#4: THIS MIGHT HELP PREVENT BAD THINGS BEING SPREAD ON MINECRAFT (like sexual content, child pornography, etc.) But how often does this happen anyway, with current server moderation?


In the end, this is really just useless. But Microsoft sees the big money here, and is going for it. Thank god some servers won't update to 1.19, so this can't happen on servers like Hypixel. But still.
