This sub is going downhill

I've been not active for a while, and I recently logged into Reddit to check the sub out.

The first thing I noticed was the lack of quality posting. There are very few real theories here.

The second was the way this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/minecraftlore/comments/1vjks5u/nobody_knows_anything_and_its_a_problem/ was recieved. Instead of the actual issue being addressed, OP was harrassed and downvoted.

These are both problems that I, as a moderator of this sub, feel obligated to address.

However, I'm not sure how to go about it.

So I ask for your feedback. What do you feel this sub needs, and what are some issues you have been noticing?

I've been debating Christianity on Discord with friends... and I'm losing. Can someone help?

Recently I've been debating with other people, mainly theistic evolutionists and atheists. When I started, I was overconfident and thought I knew what I was talking about. But I've slowly been losing confidence and losing arguments, and I'm struggling. They point out all the evidence for evolution, the evidence against the gospels being infallible, contradictions within the Bible. It's hard when they sound so confident and they know what they're talking about.

What should I do? Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone who has done this before help?

Discord Server has been under some major improvements.

A lot of you are already members of the Discord server, and may remember it as being pretty dead.

It's not dead anymore. It's had a bunch of changes, and is now actually more active than this subreddit.

That said, we're looking for more members. If you're already a member, please consider joining discussions or checking it out again. If you're not a member, please consider joining.

The automod does have an invite link, but since apparently nobody reads the automod, here's another one.

Thanks.

In Vanilla, the strongholds are closed in, small roomed structures. But in Dungeons, the Stronghold level is a giant underground, extremely open area, with plants and everything.

Why is there such a difference, and is the one in Vanilla canon?

Has nobody else noticed that slime variants spawn in the presence of liquids?

There’s gotta be a connection between slimes and liquid. I watched Xatrix’s and Profesor Illager’s videos, but there was no connection between slimes and liquid in either of them. Both made some good points, but it was all about the composition of the slimes, not their origin.

So here’s my slime origin theory. Somehow, the liquids in the Minecraft universe are able to condense into living blobs. 

Slimes spawn in swamps and caves. Caves are damp; swamps are wet and marshy. The slimy water and caves somehow produce living slimes. Makes total sense.

Magma cubes spawn in basalt deltas, which are full of small lava pools. Magma blocks also have lava inside them, and magma cream is able to be crafted into magma blocks, which would imply that magma cubes have lava inside them. Lava is a liquid. They also have an outer rock shell that splits apart when they jump.

Sulphur cubes spawn in sulphur caves, which have little sulphur pools. 

The weird Conjured slimes are created by a living cauldron full of some kind of liquid. 

The Tropical slimes are literally made of water, with fish swimming inside of them.

So it makes total sense that slimes come from slimy water, tropical slimes come from clean water, magma cubes come from lava, sulfur cubes come from sulfurous water, and conjured slimes come from whatever Void liquid is in the cauldron.

But I have no idea how they're alive.
