Please read before engaging with me. Thank you.

@M1ckM1k3y Splendid.

What do you think? New bio?

@M1ckM1k3y Come to Kidderminster and visit Ye Olde Severn Stars.

Just heard that my favorite pub closed down. I'm not taking this news very well.

@naryamie9 You ok?

We have a 👎🏽 now?

@MartinTweats Keep me posted!

What’s funny? I can tell you EXACTLY what scene this was from, and quote it line for line 😂

@BumpstockBarbie Thanks, looking now.

@MartinTweats I know HBO Max has all 10 seasons. I have the DVD set bc the episodes are actually slightly longer since they include cut scenes.

@BumpstockBarbie Well, as a social experiment I will find and watch S1E1 and see if it makes me like it.

@MartinTweats No definitely start at the beginning. The character growth in the show is really good.

@BumpstockBarbie Would you recommend I start at S1E1 or pick a random episode?

@MartinTweats I mean, give it a shot. You might be surprised.

@BumpstockBarbie This is my fate.

@MartinTweats Ah, then I can’t convince you that you’d enjoy this 🤷🏻‍♀️

The theist claim is that God exists outside of the universe, i.e., outside of time, space and matter. The universe contains time, space and matter: U ≡ (dim(S) > 0 ^ ∫ₛ ​1 dx > 0 ^ ∫T​ 1 dt > 0 ^ ∃x M(x)) That is to say: There exists space: dim(S) > 0 There exists volume: ∫ₛ 1 dx > 0 Time has duration: ∫T 1 dt > 0 Matter exists: ∃x M(x) God exists outside of time, space and matter; thus, He is not contingent on either of them; rather, He exists subsistently. God simply exists:  ∃G A thing that exists outside of time, space and matter is not bound by the rules of time, space and matter, as there is no time, space or matter.

@MartinTweats Actually Theists: Everything that began had a cause. The universe began and is not eternal. The universe has a cause. Also Theists: God is eternal, has always been, and has no beginning.

"Nothing created God", is not a theist claim. It's a strawman. The theist claim is that God is uncreated, i.e., God exists necessarily outside of time, space and matter as actus purus, with no potency, whilst actualising the potency of all other things.

@David_Kicinski @draati3 Could also be a 3rd error.

@MartinTweats @draati3 For a minute I thought maybe that could be it, but 🤷‍♂️

Can you find the mistake....?

@naryamie9 @KeruboSk If it was any part that did not contain the word, "London", then it probably would have been OK.

@MartinTweats @KeruboSk I don’t remember. This was right before Covid.

My son’s school is doing a class camping trip for 24 hours this spring… They said no parent chaperones and no cell phones. Hard pass for my boy

@naryamie9 @CollinRugg 😃

@MartinTweats @CollinRugg Crazy.

NEW: Kristin Cabot, from the Coldplay kiss cam, rips her former boss, says she can't be with him because he lacks "integrity." Cabot is accusing her former boss, Andy Byron, of lying to her and says she hasn't communicated with him since the fall. "He wasn’t the person he represented himself to be, to me, and lying is a non-negotiable for me. There was a big miss on honesty and integrity," she told Oprah.

@BumpstockBarbie No.

@MartinTweats It depends. Are you into frivolous comedy with some serious life stuff mixed in?

@hister333 @David_Kicinski @AtheistPhoenix Bring it on.

@MartinTweats @David_Kicinski @AtheistPhoenix Is this going to be the part where I quote about 15 scriptures, and you say something stupid about context?

Obviously hasn’t read it

@luvmyjaide @Dr_Cumsa_Lot @Unplanned_Good @LiveAction Oh boy!

@MartinTweats @Dr_Cumsa_Lot @Unplanned_Good @LiveAction I blocked her. 10 replies to one comment?

There is no such thing as a “safe” abortion. Every successful abortion destroys the life of an innocent preborn baby. Intentionally killing is NOT healthcare. Abortion is NOT healthcare.

@hister333 @David_Kicinski @AtheistPhoenix

@David_Kicinski @AtheistPhoenix For starters, the earth isn't flat.

@EllenFantasmic @AleMartnezR1 Would you find logic persuasive in establishing God’s existence, or would you only accept observational evidence?

@AleMartnezR1 There are no "proofs".

Logical proofs, should demand the consent of any reasonable person. It is not subject to personal opinions, nor feelings.

(1) Causal Principle: for any positive state of affairs s that can begin to obtain, it is possible for there to be something external to s that causes s to obtain.

To your point, you claim that if God exists then he would eliminate all evil. But that simply makes the existence of God contingent on the non-existence of evil, e.g: (∃x God(x)) -> (∀y ¬evil(y)) That is to say, if there exists a God, then for all things y, y is not evil, i.e., evil does not exist. It assumes that: At time t1, God exists. At time t2, God creates man. At time t3, Man does evil. At time t4, God ceases to exist because of it. Making God's existence contingent on the non-existence of something else, is to deny that God exists necessarily, i.e., God is not God, but a thing which is a not-God. Rather, it is the case that: At time t1, God exists. At time t2, God creates man and gives him free will. At time t3, Man uses his free will to do evil. At time t4, God exists. Without the ability do choose wrong, choosing right wouldn't mean anything. Free will only exists when there's an option not to obey. In regards to Occam's razor, I think you misused it. The Occam's razor is, "Prefer the explanation that makes the fewest unnecessary assumptions (simplest explanation), all else being equal." But your argument isn’t really Occam's Razor. The argument is a logical problem of evil, and, "God doesn’t exist", is just one of several competing conclusions. Occam’s Razor would require comparing full explanatory frameworks, not picking the shortest conclusion in isolation.

@MartinTweats @ToriatheistTori “An all-powerful, all-good God would both want and be able to eliminate evil entirely. Evil exists. Therefore, either God is not fully good, not fully powerful, or does not exist.” Occam's razor: the latter.

@naryamie9 @CollinRugg The way all the women nod in agreement with her 😃

@CollinRugg Wait… but she was married and cheating so what about her lying? Her lack of integrity and accountability?
