@BennyRocinante @TheColossis @EnigmaStar777 @darwintojesus Again Philemon is not evidence that supports abolition. Paul literally returned the slave to his master. He didn't free him. He didn't suggest he be freed. He didn't condemn the practice.

@tripzero @TheColossis @EnigmaStar777 @darwintojesus The Christian view of slavery has not been changed nor renegotiated, as evidenced by "Philemon." No change at all.

The only reason slavery is illegal is because of Christians.

In the US, some Christians opposed slavery, but many condoned it citing the Bible as defense. It's not like everyone on the south practicing it was "anti-theist" (as you call it). No. They were church going, Jesus-loving Christians too. They just did what you are doing now: renegotiatong Christianity to for their own social/economic ideologies.

This is incredibly naive, ignorant or dishonest. Philemon does not condemn slavery. No verse in the Bible does. Few church fathers condemned it (ie Gregory of Nyssa, 4th century CE), but Christian rulers, emperors, kings, etc never condemned or outlawed the practice even having incredible political power to do so. If early church fathers had universally condemned it instead of accepting it as part of mankind's "fallen state", it would have disappeared centuries before the enlightenment when turning to classical Greek natural law theory actually provided the philosophical basis for abolition the Bible lacks. You are absolutely incorrect that Christians did not run nations. From Constantine on, Roman and European kingdoms where dominated by Christian leaders.

@grok @PubSafetyHero @rhensing @Tesla @wmorrill3 Feels like the powerwall is too expensive or the cybertruck cells are really cheap... Is it possible to make NMC batteries cheaper than LFP? Or is it the installation costs that are inflating the powerwall price?

The Cybertruck has a 123 kWh battery. Each Powerwall 3 is 13.5 kWh, so ~9 units (121.5 kWh) would match it. Your quote for 4 Powerwall 3 + 3 expansions = ~94.5 kWh at $56,900 installed. Add more expansions to scale efficiently. Both deliver up to 11.5 kW continuous backup power. The truck adds mobility and utility for the farm.

Dear @Tesla - due to how unreliable our power is - my wife has given me approval to buy a 2nd Cybertruck dedicated to the farm if the price is ever $59k again for the base model. Just sayin' @wmorrill3 - you guys killed it at that price point :)

@StarbasePhotos @rhensing @Tesla @wmorrill3 Can't do famsd while towing yet*... Towing is already superior in the Silverado. For everything else though, CT all day.

@rhensing @Tesla @wmorrill3 I was incorrect on the numbers, Silverado EV gets 480 miles of range, almost 50 percent more range then the Cybertruck at that point. Weight does not affect you as you still pay less. Cybertruck can't do FSD while towing while the Silverado can use supercruise while towing.

@BennyRocinante @TheColossis @EnigmaStar777 @darwintojesus Btw, What "anti-theist" civilization are you referring to?

Curious but overstated. Slavery disappeared from all nations around the same time regardless of their theology. It took Christians almost 2000 years to figure out slavery was wrong even though they were in power and could have done something about it since ~400 CE. The Israelites had it within their power also during the brief periods they weren't under Egyptian/Syrian/Babalonian/Roman rule.

@BennyRocinante @TheColossis @EnigmaStar777 @darwintojesus Because Yehweh did not see slavery as immoral. This god's only concern was the military success and prosperity of his people.

@tripzero @TheColossis @EnigmaStar777 @darwintojesus Re: "Why did yehweh promise slaves as a reward for destroying Israel's enemies?" Why do you think? What solution do you prefer?

@BennyRocinante @TheColossis @EnigmaStar777 @darwintojesus How long did Christian nations practice slavery before it went away? Why did yehweh promise slaves as a reward for destroying Israel's enemies?

@TheColossis @EnigmaStar777 @darwintojesus Mosaic law encouraged kindness and taught equality while allowing the bad thing- just as was done re: divorce. Slavery goes away in Christian nations. Anti-theists silence history education to hide what they do.

@MolonLabe308 @TGrogan268173 @fjc0000 The evidence is partly in e=mc^2. Evidence: nuclear decay, nuclear fusion, fission, LHC (just off the top of my head) The fabric of space itself has energy as evidence by red-shifting, casimir effect, lamb shift, spontaneous emission...

@TGrogan268173 @fjc0000 @tripzero You say you believe in science, where’s your evidence?

Evolution is real folks. The Bible is a fairy tale.

@fjc0000 @TGrogan268173 @MolonLabe308 Not one that size... Wooden ships that large made today are not seaworthy or required structural reinforcement by metals.

@tripzero @TGrogan268173 @MolonLabe308 To make a boat of wood is doable no big deal

@TGrogan268173 @fjc0000 @MolonLabe308 To afford all that material, Noah would have had to be in the 0.1% of wealth. A minor king or mechant prince. Where is bro getting all that cash???

@TGrogan268173 @fjc0000 @MolonLabe308 And hundreds of tons of bronze I suppose 😵

@fjc0000 @TGrogan268173 @MolonLabe308 I asked how many of these were seaworthy without iron/steel reinforcement:

@fjc0000 @TGrogan268173 @MolonLabe308 I suggest reading those designs to understand to problem long wooden ships have. Many of those weren't sea worthy or had to be reinforced with iron or steel.

@TGrogan268173 @fjc0000 @MolonLabe308 It may not even be possible to do it today with those materials...

@fjc0000 @MolonLabe308 @tripzero It was not possible to construct such a craft 4000 years ago.

@Chortling_Man @lostinganglia @DivinelyDesined You aren't restraining your lips, bro. You are outing yourself.

@lostinganglia @DivinelyDesined @lostinganglia didn't pay attention to the words if the quantum cosmologist. They were atheistic. Atheists always try to move the goalposts.

Atheists: "We don't believe everything came from nothing!" Also atheists:

@MolonLabe308 @fjc0000 @TGrogan268173 Citation that it was built as a temporary structure?

@fjc0000 @TGrogan268173 Yes, after years, a boat designed to last a few months springs a leak. This changes everything.

@iam__Jezreel Child sacrifice was likely practiced by early Israelites.

There's nothing new under the sun. Abortion is murder and a sin before God.
