(startup general counsel) Warmly critical. Opinion is a vice. Views are a public good. Truth-seeking means disciplined mystery. Art abides tension. Jesus is it.

@wagglethorpe @philosophysage “Seek God” can’t be among the side quests bc it’s the main quest. You were designed by God, who is Love, only to be fulfilled by Him. You will be perfect when you see Him as He is. Your life is hidden in Him. He knows the work for which he made you. Seek God. The rest will follow
English

@philosophysage Some puzzling omissions.
- Get married.
- Have children.
- Seek God.

@ToriatheistTori No
Reality, the Measure of everything and everyone, is a person who is Love and wants to reconcile with those who think they hate it
Look up the Heb, Greek words for sin. “Missing the mark”
Basic human bias abhors change, wants ignorance
Reality offers wisdom, fulfillment
English

@AdrianDittmann Can capitalistic principles work? Yes, when governed well, better than the alternatives.
The problem: Capitalism doesn’t exist. It’s an ideal. Republicans have no intent to enact it. Its purpose, for them, is as a red herring when people critique the power consolidation reality.

@kaizen000000000 Where you getting “need” from either of those passages? Or any other passage?
English

@5Solas2 It’s weird this needs to be said
But it makes sense, when you think about it, why most preachers aren’t prioritizing saying it
English

@ToriatheistTori Needed?
I have not read this in scripture
Also I’m lost what this is supposed to prove
The whole point theologically was that Jesus was descended from the same flesh as Adam
English

@kaizen000000000 Any finite beings’ failure to offer comprehension of a proposed infinite incomprehensible means nothing more than anyone’s inability to prove an unbounded negative
non-belief vs belief debate is obviated by basic logic
English

@Ernest1588761 If you gotta re-word it to make it look like a contradiction ..?
I bet you agree with both.
People claim to be good, but do evil = wrong
People realize they’re evil, and want to be changed = good
Calling on God to help you is not the same thing as telling God he’s your Lord.
English

@JadeK526 Nope.
That’s agnosticism.
Atheism is the maintained affirmative assertion that there is no God, commonly held as basis for the categorical denial that any observation could ever make it reasonable to believe otherwise, usually circularly held as basis for the former.
English


@SonofManwithus It doesn’t say which virgins were “believers”
Saving faith is from Jesus (Heb 12); you can ask Him for it (Mk 9:24)
Jesus, Paul, James agree it causes good works.
Works don’t save; salvation is for works (Matt 5:16, Eph 2:10)
Saved ppl can miss out on other things (1Co 3)
English

@DavidJHarrisJr He never said those exact words, the second part, but it’s a debatably accurate paraphrase of all the combined things he said to religious power
If you want, I can try to cobble together the verses
English

THIS IS BLASPHEMY!!!!!
Jesus NEVER SAID THIS!!!

🚨 JUST NOW: Pope Leo drops this line in Cameroon "Jesus told us, 'Blessed are the peacemakers,' but woe to those who manipulate religion in the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."
English

@TheSkepticWiz Hard agree.
That’s one of the most absurd things about humanist modernist systemic theology and apologetics.
Proofs are for things you can understand end to end, or test repeatably
God is not described in any scripture as having attributes we could test and prove like that
English

@AtheistTakes Not true in my experience with atheists
Lack of belief in a proposition is agnosticism as to that proposition. Lack of belief is can be curious w/o committing
Atheism is an asserted belief discipline maintaining the nonnegotiable affirmative belief that there is no God
English

@AlexDuncanTX in a free country, businesses will cater to each side of entrenched belief differences
Jesus attacked a market that paywalled God.
But attack, economic or other, isn’t a way to win the minds, hearts, and souls at stake
It entrenches unbelief tribalism. History is an open book
English

@RoshanBunny88 @Matt_Pinner He’s sad bc he’s trying to cook fully remote
Some jobs can be done remotely but not cooking
Also nobody told him what remote work means
English

@Matt_Pinner This version flips the traditional "lazy dad" trope while keeping the humorous family dynamic intact. Let me know if you'd like any tweaks

English

@MeachamDr Science uses the weirdly consistent principles built into a surprisingly observable universe
There is, flatly, no contradiction between science and faith in a God who consistently urges it on
I will give you this: Glenn Beck is cringe
English


@Maximumatheist You realize this app shoves your stuff in the feeds of religious people on purpose, right?
English

These people are insufferable. We just want to ride the fucking subway.
