As I read debates on a Twitter, I always have to remind myself, “There is nothing that can be sliced so thin that it doesn’t have two sides.”

@iWomansplainer We pretend it does.

How tf do people celebrate Christmas where it doesn’t snow

@AdultingIsEasy To not hold a credit card balance.

What did your parents teach you about money?

@BanjoAtheist “Baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit” should at least make some questions arise to who the three are and how they relate to one another. The answers to those questions sure do seem important.

True confession, I have never understood why so many Christians circle the wagons on“the Trinity.” Why does so much ride on that doctrine being true? 🙏

@andrewboonedog Not disagreeing with you, but Baal didn’t exist either.

I can’t believe some people genuinely believe “If I stretch my body like that, I’ll accidentally worship a nonexistent Hindu god”

@ChessVonDoom Taking on b8 allows your rook to come to the back rank with check. Taking on f8 doesn’t, and it allows the king to escape after 1. Rd8 h6

Question for the #chesspunks. I was working through my morning tactics, and I came across this puzzle. I took on f8, which was incorrect, but I honestly don't know why this matters. How is taking the rook on b8 any different?

@RandalRauser Maybe, yes. But happiness wasn’t the goal.

Jesus would've been happier married with children?

@AdamNev93 I hope this is a joke.

@KateAndreyev People were for hundreds of years!

Is it possible to be a faithful Christian outside of evangelicalism? Please be kind. I’m a survivor. Just want to hear from people. Asking because I want to cling to Jesus but escape evangelical culture 🙏

@DecadeInvestor Only $100K/year? Definitely not.

@TheSkeptic4122 The difference is the dismissal of a non-physical (spiritual) existence. Most religions believe that materialism is insufficient to explain everything. That’s the biggest disagreement.

@iWomansplainer The platform formerly known as Twitter.

It will always be Twitter to me

@TheSkeptic4122 Up to me to accept a gift offered freely, yes.

@ChessifyMe Qxe3!

14th world champion Vladimir Kramnik got this beautiful puzzle in his 1994 game vs Yudasin. 🫣 Black to move and win

@ChessVonDoom Levy teaches this one in his Vienna course. Different move order, but same result!

Bruna taught me this opening and I've blown it every single time I've tried it, lol. Something finally clicked. #chess #chesspunks

@TheSkeptic4122 Do you think Christians believe this? Or just jokes?

@2ndPartyPodcast Love Kirkland Sparkling water

I dropped my sparkling water and somehow the flat floor created a dent that looks like a butt. I have no idea how that physics works.

@CapturingChrist Why is it not morally permissible to flog adulterers?

A Punitive Argument Against Islam (1) If Islam is true, it is morally permissible to flog adulterers as punishment. (see Surah 4:34) (2) It is not morally permissible to flog adulterers as punishment. (3) Islam is not true. A note on each premise. (1) seems to be held even by liberal Islamic scholars. This doesn't seem to be the premise to reject. While (2) might seem obvious to most of us (including me), I'm curious if any of you in the comments can give a good argument in support of it. As some of you may know, the Bible condemns adulterers to death in Leviticus (which seems a bit more harsh a punishment than flogging).

@natesolon 5 seconds!

White to play and mate in 2. How long did it take you to spot?

@autocorrect2_0 Lots of smuggling going on here.

Atheists really struggle to understand the difference between subjective and objective. “It’s wrong because it prevents the best future” as if we all agree on what a good future would look like

@TheSkeptic4122 Half of these are the complete opposite of what Christians believe. The other half have a different context if the relationship is with a perfect being.
