How Did You Get There?

When you’re one car accident away from never being able to work and needing these services.

@lyssasphere I’m stealing that.

Dear me, This isn't about you. This is about me. Signed, You

@WillQuestions Nice plants ☺️, I will be more polite next time. I was just a little envious.

@WillQuestions Day 5 of 35 km/h average wind, but the snow is pretty much gone now. #Chinook

@lyssasphere I said yes but I think it’s more like our choices make us who we are and a lot of choices have few options. Still yes.

Do we choose who we become?

@darwintojesus Everyone else. You?

Imagine you have 1 day to live. What would you care about?

@lyssasphere Yes but it seldom stops me… for better or worse.

Do you ever feel like talking is totally pointless?

@The_Pilgrim67 @darwintojesus Why? People build things they don’t even own. This makes no sense, just because He created it doesn’t give Him any authority- He must have just done it for Himself. Many are rational, you just don’t like them. If all we have to go by is the Bible, He does change.

@HDYGTYQL @darwintojesus >By what authority does He give commands? As Creator He has all authority. 🤦🏻‍♂️ >That is one of many moral bases. The only rational one. >Do you think that the God depicted in the OT is as depicted in the NT? God does not change.

There’s no good argument for abortion.

@The_Pilgrim67 @darwintojesus By what authority does He give commands? That is one of many moral bases. Do you think that the God depicted in the OT is as depicted in the NT?

@HDYGTYQL @darwintojesus God issues commands. This is the basis of morality. It is based on the deontological properties of right & wrong.

@logistrix @lyssasphere I decline to answer. 😉

@HDYGTYQL @lyssasphere Why is that position inclined at the gym, and reclined on a sofa?

My favorite place ever

@The_Pilgrim67 @darwintojesus Is there something immoral to you that you like?

@The_Pilgrim67 @darwintojesus Yes, your concern for comfort in this instance is emotional, your morality doesn’t like it. What do you mean by omni-benevolent?

@The_Pilgrim67 @darwintojesus You seem to be having an emotional reaction to the morality base that I proposed- which fits my proposition. God is the might which makes right, you already suggested He cannot do wrong.

At what lengths could the group go to ensure its survival. If they believes that sacrificing a few children a year to its god would ensure their survival would that be okay. Come on. Think through what you're saying. You think this is a good strategy for society. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Might does not make right in theism. An omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, omni-benevolent God issues commands of right & wrong.

I just watched the Pierre Poilievre appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast and I have never felt more hope for Canada. Pierre has the vision, energy, and intelligence to fix what the liberals destroyed. You can feel the excitement growing.

@defense_civil25 NATO is a defence alliance that has no obligation to support aggressors.

Every member of NATO refused the call to help the United States to restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. All of Them!!

@lyssasphere I have used “do paternity tests work?” as a tool in discussions with anti science people, no luck yet.

How does the DNA testing from ancestry or 23 and me or other such companies work?

@lyssasphere If it doesn’t matter in five years, how much does it matter now?

Repeat after me: "This is not as big of a deal as I am making it out to be."

@The_Pilgrim67 @darwintojesus The survival of the group. It’s super boring, I know, it’s not about correct or true it’s just about the survival of the group. It’s more like peer pressure but yes, as with theism, it appears might makes right; unlike theism the might is the group and not an authoritarian.

@HDYGTYQL @darwintojesus What makes the rest of the group right. A poll? You're just implying brute force rules.

@The_Pilgrim67 @darwintojesus I think your inference of like = good is hilarious btw.

Can you put that in relation to my last question. How are chemical reactions related to a qualia like smell to cause an emotion. How do you relate this to sociopaths or psychopaths who get their kicks by murdering or harming people? How are they responsible for their acts if it's just chemicals. They are simply responding to some external stimuli or random event. I don't think they found a free will center in the brain. Also, their acts make them feel good, so they seek more of it. Your act makes you feel good so you seek more of it. I don's see how you make a moral distinction. Are you sure you're thinking this through.
