@StandswithGod So how many slaves do you own and what kind of rod do you use to beat them?

Too many people who call themselves Christian wish to ignore parts of the Bible they don't like. This leads to blasphemy. To sin. We don't take authority over God's word. We don't get to choose what it says to fit our emotions or to fit what society likes. Shameful!

@cloisteredoystr @PixelBibleBytes Evolution doesn't state anything, let alone a purpose. It can't. It is a model explaining biodiversity. Anything else you attribute to it is from you. This would be like stating the purpose of gravity is the creation of black holes.

@PhoenixXIIII @PixelBibleBytes this is a contradiction, the stated purpose of evolution is survival of the fittest, therefore extinct species would be deemed unfit to survive

I think one of the funny things to me is there really isn't even an atheist defense for abortion. According to science, our biological purpose of existence is to pass on our genetic material in reproduction for the survival of the species and your own genetic continuance. The very concept of choosing to terminate life before its born goes against what even science deems as a law of nature.

@r_graus The disbelief in itself is not a claim. An individual saying "I do not believe in any god" is a claim although unless there are credible reasons to not accept someone's own assessment of what they believe, it has to be accepted for any conversation to take place.

The latter.

@NoHolyScripture @benonwine The "Freedom Freedom Technology" made me laugh. It's so free you have to say it twice to convince people. The word "freedom" is in my list of red flag words used by grifters and fascists. Another word on that list is "family" used by anti-gay bigots.

@benonwine If it was manufactured by Musk I wouldn't trust it further than I can spit. My Free Speech on Musk's X is highly sporadic!

𝕏Phone Imagine a smartphone built around free speech, privacy, innovation, and independence from Big Tech. With Elon Musk already transforming electric cars, space travel, AI, social media, and communications, could a smartphone be next? If anyone could shake up the mobile phone market, it would be him. Would you switch from Apple or Samsung to an 𝕏Phone? 📱𝕏👇

@GiveMeBanHammer I you ever think this was a genuine offer, you are a lost cause. With that much wealth, he doesn't even need the UN anyway, he could set up everything himself and just go knock on the door of any country and work with them directly. This is just a ruse to make him look good.

Actually, about this: Elon once offered the UN $6 billion for World Hunger in 2021 - on the condition that the UN provided Open Source Accounting and allowed him or anyone else to track and audit exactly where the money was spent on. Which I think is a fair request considering that UN had multiple high-profile embezzlement cases such as what happened in Somalia in 2010 and Ethiopia in recent years. There's even one being actively probed right now in Sudan. UN has not have a good track record of monitoring where other people's money go to, and that's an understatement. The UN's response? They said they would at best, offer summaries and high-level category reports...which is not very helpful. It was also not going to be an open ledger, so no one outside of UN leadership could see where the money would go to. So...the offer fell through because the UN was unable to provide trackable details on where the money goes to, making auditing extremely difficult. The rest is history, which is now being actively memory-holed by you OP. Sure hate Elon that he bought Twitter, at least be fair.

@Whizdom01 It's awfully convenient that a holy book only uses common knowledge of it's time period and never actually brings forth any new information. It's almost like it was written by the people of that time based on their knowledge. Curious....

You can't be serious. Your argument fails to understand the nature of effective communication, the concept of divine accommodation, and what the Bible actually claims about Jesus' earthly life. The Language of “Accommodation”. If Jesus had used His divine omniscience to speak with absolute, 21st-century scientific precision, His audience would have been completely baffled. If He said, “The Kingdom of God is like a microscopic orchid seed from the South American rainforest,” the Galilean farmers would have asked, “What is an orchid? What is South America?” Divine Accommodation means God humbles His language to meet humans at their level of understanding. To be an effective teacher, Jesus used the information already available to His listeners to teach a deeper spiritual truth. Using an idiom they all understood does not mean He was ignorant; it means He was a brilliant communicator. Another you need to understand is *Legal Precision vs. Everyday Truth*. Imagine an all-knowing math professor telling their 5-year-old child, “The sun is rising!” Politely correcting the professor by saying, “Actually, the sun isn't rising, the Earth is rotating on its axis, so you must not be a real math professor,” would be ridiculous. The professor is using phenomenological language (describing how things look from our perspective) to talk to a child. Jesus did the exact same thing. He was speaking as a man living in 1st-century Judea, using the cultural definitions of His day. > Using a well-known local analogy to teach farmers a lesson isn't a lack of omniscience; it is a sign of good teaching. The purpose of the story was to change their hearts, not to write a biology textbook.

@anchoredso37497 P1: If it is true that everyone owes me a million bucks, they have to pay their debt to me. P2: P1 is true. C: You owe me a million bucks. This the stupidity of this post. I seriously hope you are a defective AI bot.

@NoHolyScripture @YourAnonNews Musk has done very little for electric vehicles. For decades, they were marketed for a niche audience as a sort of luxury. If anything, China is doing more for electric car than Musk ever did. And most countries are doing everything to hinder them.

@YourAnonNews Musk & Trump have NOT made the world a better place. At best, Musk can claim to have accelerated the electric vehicle & solar energy industries, achievements that are commendable but limited in scope. These contributions are, however dwarfed by the harm their politics & .. /2

Would the world be a better place with or without Elon? Think carefully. Remember, people like Elon and Trump are teaching lessons to humanity in one form or another, good or bad.

@hookskat It ceases to be when applied to anything that is not common or simple.

Is common sense really common?

@AleMartnezR1 1. Whoever owes me money needs to pay their debts. 2. You owe me money. Where is my money?

1. Whatever is externally conditioned for its existence needs a cause. 2. God is not externally conditioned for its existence Then, God does not have a cause of his existence.

@RTB_HRoss Translation : I don't like it therefore magic.

If the universe is all that is or was or ever will be, as I heard Carl Sagan say multiple times, then we're without hope. The universe is headed for a heat death when all energy flow will cease & all life, regardless of its makeup, will die. Beyond that time, all protons & neutrons will decay. No atoms will exist. Some cosmic models predict a big rip when all particles & even space & time will be ripped apart. Fortunately, the universe is not all there is. We have hope because there is a God who transcends the universe who loves us. For more, see reasons.org/explore/blogs/…

@ScottMcdowell27 Yeah I agree. He was pretty mid at best.

To say that Jesus was just a good moral teacher—Nothing else is one of the most intellectually dishonest ideas you can live by

@McClureShawn Let's assume it actually was from the time period and was a burial cloth, what would it actually prove? An unknown printing method pretty much.... That's it. You just get more unknowns. Still miles away from proving anything.

The Shroud of Turin proves fuck-all. The Shroud can't even be credibly demonstrated to be a guaranteed relic of Christ in the first place, and even if it could be it wouldn't prove any supernatural claims. Why are adult humans still touting this asininity in the present day?

@LarsTheBadMan @Mr_TOlson I've found that ID arguments always end up circular. "Complex things must be designed because things that are complex are designed." If you don't presuppose that everything complex is designed, it falls apart.

@Mr_TOlson Nonsense. Every Intelligent Design argument has been dismantled and shown to be nothing but lies, misrepresentation and pseudo-science. Stephen Meyer is a con-man. Makes a living lying to gullible religious people.

Intelligent Design is not God of the Gaps. Rather, it's a reasonable explanation for reality.

@CarterCarter51 @NoHolyScripture Yes and no. If you bother to look it's not really that hidden. It's pretty public who is behind things like the Heritage Foundation or the people in government doing the insider trading. You don't need to hide when corruption is basically legal.

@NoHolyScripture The most dangerous person is probably someone in the shadows pulling the strings that we don’t even know about.

Who is currently the most dangerous, most harmful human on Earth?

@StandswithGod He's also the one who caused the suffering and made the rules to save you from him. He's like the Mafia boss who tells you to do X in order for him to not break your legs. If you're not going to have evidence, at least make the story you are selling better. 1/10.

Atheists, God took on all our suffering and sin upon Himself. He died to redeem us from it. He knows our suffering better then we do. You can't claim to care about suffering, while denying the only One who will end it forever. The only One who can and will save us from it.

@JesseDornfeld I define Bob the Ninja Wizard as the culprit to every unsolved crime. Do you believe in Bob yet?

IDK why we have to answer this question 500 gazillion times before atheists understand that God is by definition uncreated.

@nuhre_ Isn't that just a basic reputation system with dialogues changing based on a number? If anything, it should be like baseline to almost every RPG ever. No clue why anyone would call that "life simulator".

If I had a nickel for every game that tries to do too much and ends up collapsing under the weight of its own ambition, I'd have a suspicious number of nickels.

@UkrainianAna I'm pretty certain Kratos was never meant to look "hot" in the first place nor is it even relevant to his game at all. Am I the only one who doesn't expect bloodthirsty warriors adventuring in forests and caves to look like models?

This is my favorite thing online right now 😂🙌 After being yet again triggered by a female protagonist and calling her "an ugly masculinized hag"... Incel gamer dude bros were faced with an even bigger calamity - discovering they had hots for Kratos, while women didn't 😩 P. S. It's genuinely hilarious to me that they do not understand that these characters are made for them lmao To appeal to them.
