@meehana96 @sbell021 Ha. Yep. I'm a Walmart Wolverine with an MDiv, an MA in philosophy and working on an MA in clinical counseling. Hopefully that will be good enough for them lol

@SalientFeature @sbell021 That’s the craziest part of this argument to me. Anyone who grows up in Michigan knows, you choose early on whether you follow UM or MSU.
I’m the same, loved UM sports from a young age. Even got in to UM, but had a huge scholarship elsewhere. Guess I can’t be a fan now!

Electrons have existed as long as the universe itself
And yet the word “electron” didn’t exit until 1891
Obviously, that means electrons didn’t exist until then

America was not founded on judeo-Christian values because the term wasn’t even created until the 1930s.

@irishgator87 @JonnyRoot_ It is genetically a distinct human being. Any embryology textbook will tell you that

@JonnyRoot_ Until the embryo is implanted how is it a child?

NBA great Carlos Boozer & his wife, Cece, used IVF to create 34 embryos in order to save their child, Carmani who had sickle cell.
Only 2 were selected: Duke basketball star twins Cameron & Cayden.
The rest of the children were disposed of, considered “undesireable” because they weren’t a match.
“I’m sure there’s a lot of people that think that’s wrong, but I don’t.”
- Cece Boozer
While fighting to save their son’s life, a great desire, they treated the children created through IVF, as expendable, “spare parts, raw material for others survival” - @J_K_Wood
I’m thankful for the health of Carmani, but when children are treated as a commodity, they’re not seen as human. They’re a means to an end, where we play God and decide who desires life and death.
That’s dystopian and evil.

@AramaicWire @Melissa_WongMT Yes they don't think orthodox Christians are Christians 😔☦️
English

Evangelicals are partly to blame for the collapse of Middle Eastern Christianity.
They are the biggest supporter of wars which destroy Christians.
But it goes way deeper than that.
They view Christians like Assyrians in Iraq as a pawn to expand their footprint as "authentic" Christians.
They can be so brazen that they even set up local organizations & try to convert *Apostolic Christians* to *their* brand of American Christianity.
Imagine destroying an Apostolic, Aramaic speaking Christian community which is 2000 years old.
Then setting up an NGO to convert them to Megachurch Protestantism through bribery & handouts.
Isn't that insane?

@AlexToropoc @Isabelletkrause He was a Calvinist. Of course he believed that some will not be saved. You're not attacking Tolkien here, you're attacking Calvinism, and I'm not sure you're prepared for that debate.
And I'm not even a Calvinist!

What blew my mind most about the Lord of the Rings was how perfectly a fantasy story represented evil & temptation and how it works in each of our lives.
The Ring doesn't make you evil overnight. But it whispers in your ear, it makes the wrong decision feel so incredibly reasonable, it tells you that this time will be different. How many times in our life do we have this conversation in our head? I’ve had it, many times.
And the longer you hold onto it, the harder it becomes to let go. Which is just crazy. The things we know are destroying us are often the things we can’t put down.
Frodo didn't fail because he was weak. He failed because no one is strong enough to carry sin alone forever. We are all Frodo, that's kind of the whole point.

Ah yes, Tolkien, who wrote The Lord of the Rings, which has sold over 150 million copies, and The Hobbit which has sold another 100 million (ranking them 2nd and 3rd respectively in top-selling novels of all time), who created over 14 distinct languages and alphabets for Middle-earth before writing his novels, who was fluent in Danish, Dutch, French, German, Gothic, Greek, Italian, Latin, Lombardic, Middle/Old English, Old Norse, Norwegian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish, and Welsh, who, while serving in WWI, developed a secret code to update his wife about his location to bypass British army mail censorship, who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature…..
Yes, surely, he is a weak thinker.
Alex Leone@AlexToropoc
@Isabelletkrause Tolkien is a weak thinker because he doesn't make room for redemption, thus, he is not a Christian. Look at Gollum - he sins, destroys his life, but where is the redemption, the need for god's absolution? None. A great thinker would've made Gollum the hero, to redeem himself.

because nothing says "faithful adaptation" like turning a minor family footnote into a lecture on female empowerment while the actual lore gets tossed in the trash for being insufficiently woke.

@RichardDawkins Empirical science rests upon the metaphysical foundations of math and logic. There's no such thing as "science" bare minimum

March 26 is #ScienceAppreciationDay.
But for science you probably wouldn’t have reached your latest birthday. Talking of birthdays, March 26 is my 85th.
Science saves lives. It’s also humanity’s best shot at universal understanding: one of the things that makes life worth saving.

President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele releases video showing the transformation of his country.
Since Bukele took office:
- Homicides plunged from 2,398 in 2019 to just 114 homicides in 2024.
- Murder rate is now 1.9 per 100,000 people, a historic low.
- In 2022, Bukele declared a state of exception and made over 85,000 arrests.
“Everything in life has a cost and the cost of being called authoritarian is too small to bother me much,” he once said.
