“Why are there so many discussions about other religions (atheism, mormonism, etc) when everything boils down to one verse in the Bible I am The Way and The Truth and The Life and NO ONE comes to the Father EXCEPT through ME. -John 14:6.”
Yeah, I don’t believe in god, so i think that this verse you find so important is the work of a few men. The author, the translators, a few editors.
Not the only thing left in the crucible after the boiling.

“The Torah [Jewish name for the Old Testament]”
Just a TEENSY bit backwards, there.

“teaches that itself (the Torah) is The Way and The Truth and The Life when in all reality that isn't true. Jesus Christ is the only way.”
So, the sourcebook for your proof isn’t trustworthy?
Imagine my surprise.

I began imagining this version:

Panel 1: Donald Trump is picking an apple from a tree
Panel 2: Trump is eating the apple
Panel 3: Light radiate from Trump with the legend “Knowledge”
Panel 4: Trump says “It's the brown people”; the tagline is “Ye shall be as gods”

‘As Christians, {the other poster} and myself can actually say that slavery is actually wrong, everywhere and for everyone,”
As Americans, we can say anything.
The question is, what MAKES you say it’s wrong? What’s the basis of your claim?
God doesn’t like it?
Humans have an innate value?
You can’t afford one?
What?

“There are approximately two billion mothers in the world.”
Is that counting Shaft?

““How many of those mothers would be thrilled to hear a doctor say, "Mrs._____, your child has a mutation."?”
You mean they’re alive? Pretty thrilled.
Um, we have imperfect reproduction systems. Just about everyone in the population has about 30 mutations, sequences in your DNA that did not come from either parent. So, yeah, it’s like finding out they have ten toes and two eyes. A pulse. Opposable thumbs…

“To help you with your answer - how many pregnant women are saying, "I hope my child has a mutation."?”
Probably close to zero hope for it.
Only the stupid ones fear it.

“The answer to both of these questions would be zero.”
You really don’t know what you’re talking about.

"How could two billions moms be wrong?”
Don’t go for popularity arguments, they do really poorly in an election year.

way to tell people you don’t know the original myth Tatsuya… And at the same time twisting it to shoehorn in your antisemitic bullshit.

You know, the fact that Big Tech's most shameless marionette is trying to force hype for genAI by authoritarian rebranding so fervently really strengthens my hope that it is indeed a bubble about to burst.

“Does anybody else get the feeling we are getting to be more and more in the minority?”
That would be your efforts, though. I mean, when you say ‘this is a Christain Country,’ you mean everyone swinging a Bible. So, like 70% of the nation counts. But in your heart of hearts, you discount Mormons. And Catholics. And Lutherans. Eventually whittling down the demographic you associate yourself with to thee and a couple other die-hards.

“I can see where eventually those of us who hold to Biblical truths will be seen as hateful”
You are hateful. Ever watched a legislature, state or federal, that opened with a non-Christain prayer, and all the faithful stomp out, offended that they have to share their country with heathens?
Or the protests when a Wiccan or Muslim soldier wants their symbol on their grave in Arlington?

"and there will be a general consensus to eliminate us.”
You’re already doing that by attrition. Congregations are getting smaller because the hardliners are driving the younger Christains away…

“Everybody seems to be on board with liberal thinking or slowly moving in that direction.”
Yes, and the churches that want to remain relevant are doing exactly that.

“ Hold on tight everybody...”
Yes, yes, by all means, stand your ground on abortion, gays, civil rights, transgenders,and watch the next generation simply FLOCK to your sides…

Well, as a Christain, I don’t expect you to respect anyone except your particular flavor of Christain, and probably not all of them, either. You guys are far too selfish to do anything else.
As an American, you ARE expected to respect everyone else’s right to be any religion they want, First Amendment and all. I also expect you to fail in that, because you’re so selfish.

“He is 44% Arabic, 12% black, 50% white.”
no. Due to the one-drop rule established by racists, he’s black. He’s not a ‘percent’ of anything. He’s black. He may have Mid-Easter heritage, and white heritage, but in most states in this country, he’s black.

“The morning newspapers will say he is the first BLACK president, but actually he is more Arab than black.”
And suddenly actual heritage is more important than ‘the slightest taint,’ huh?
Siddown, you’re being idiot all over the place.

“["..posts the creationist, using his computer, taking his medicine, driving his car. All the fruits of scientists who (thankfully) didn't share his petrified, stunted imagination and curiosity."]

You see, it's ignorant, bigoted, and frankly empty-headed talk like that that causes me to have no respect for evolutionists.”
What’s ignorant? Did scientists NOT develop the computer technology you’re using? Your post is bouncing off of satellites, no one put them in orbit by prayer.

“You realise that the foundations of modern science were lain by "creationists", right?”
Okay. But now, today, science is naturalistic. Or Secular. And knowing science is WHY i reject creationism. Ironic, that.

“You realise that evolution has virtually no impact on like 90% of our science, even much of the biotechnology fields, eh?”
Actually, no. I don’t realize that, and I don’t see how it matters. The truth of the science is not determined by it’s engineering applications (either contributing to the science, or the science contributes to evolutionary theory).
Still, Evolution is involved in at least the following: * Biomedical Technology * Crop Strain Improvement * Vaccines * Medicine Development * Molecular Epidemiology * Dog Breeding * Livestock Improvement * Pest Control * Vestigial Organs * Insulin * Penicillin * Synthetic Penicillin *

Biotherapeutics that address:
* Cancer * Rheumatoid Arthritis
Inflammatory Disease * Respiratory Syncitial Virus (RSV)
Staphylococcus, * Asthma
Substance Abuse * Virology

* Cave Paintings * General Organic Chemistry * Biostatistics * Cell Biology * Developmental Biology * Microbiology * Toxicology * Hematology * Metamorphic Rocks * Sedimentary Rocks * Age of the Earth * Age of the Universe * Dating Methods * Distribution of Animals * Distribution of Fossil Fuels * Genetic Trace * Geologic Column * Historical Record * Laws of Thermodynamics * Quantity of Salt/Minerals in Ocean * Sedimentary Theory * Separation of Species * Shared Ancestry * Size of the Sun * Speed of Light * DNA * Molecular Biology * Cavemen * Sociobiology * Human Behavioral Ecology * Evolutionary Psychology * Social Darwinism * Coral Reefs * Glaciers * Ice Cores * Climatology * Paleoclimatology

the church should be instructing the government on what is right and wrong.

So you think stoning women and owning slaves should be legal, while wearing mixed fabrics and eating shellfish should be punished? Fuck you and your unholy book.

“How can truth stumble anyone?”
They have to choose.
The bible always describes the Earth as a Flat Earth.
All the science shows us an oblate spheroid Earth.
Some are concerned that picking the obvious and reproducible science forces them to unchoose their God. That would be the stumble.

YOU underlining that the Bible always always always says FE will cause some parishioners to question the ‘truths’ they’ve been told about biblical inerrency.

“The cope is him believing he's better than anyone.”
But you idiots DEFINE better/worse by whether or not they’ve ascended.
Your own culture insists that if he’s fucked, he’s better than you.
If he’s fucked 30 women, he’s 30x better than you.
YOUR COPE is grading the women he’s fucked.
Minus points if she’s fat. If she’s old. If she’s a slut. Try to convince yourself that the quality of his sex detracts from his achieving sex. As if he’s therefore not better than you.
Because still, despite you living on the number line of 0 to 10, with incels at 0 an sex gods at 10, you will STILL insist you’re better because you’re more pure incel than other incels. Your suffering is greater, your pain deeper, your soul untainted… You know, ‘Cope.’

Ever watch the first five minutes of George C. Scott’s Patton?
He talks about surviving an attack. Andwhen you put your hand in the puddle of goo that used to be your friend’s face…
He doesn’t suggest that you’ll start thinking about suing for peace, does he?

Your J-boy had two daddies. And one of them - before the actual one had so much as touched her - put in Le Club Pudding the underage child bride Mary, so frankly Romans 11:26-32 destroying the very basis of Christainity John 14 is the least of your problems, OP.

it seems like a lot of MAGAs just love Putin

Funny thing is that I recently read that, since Ukraine destroyed several Russian datacenters with drone strikes, the amount of pro-Russian/pro-MAGA comments online have notably decreased globally. As if we needed more proof that right-wingers are backed by foreign dictators using bots…

TP: “The Gospels don’t say Jesus “healed mental illness”, they say He DROVE OUT DEMONS!!! Does teaching those words humiliate someone who rejects the biblical understanding of mental health?”

@Sasha #267653

So many of these people lack the object permanence to remember things like that. Plus, it seems like a lot of MAGAs just love Putin (he’s such a STRONG , MANLY MAN) and don’t look beyond that.

@Passerby #267650

They come to this conclusion by turning their brains off and refusing to think beyond that. These are the kinds of people who were saying the Trump and Kanye West are ‘free thinkers’.

AI Alex: “Woman is naturally so low-libido she’d be happy having sex once a year, if that. Woman goes out to any area dressed in a style not so different from Billie Eilish the last half-decade before the Covid outbreak. Woman gets raped. Sure, the guy is definitely at fault. But sometimes, even non-skimpy clothing can invite some man to look at her in a sexual way. So women should ideally never go out at all.”

@Sasha #267667

Exactly. Nuns get raped, toddlers get raped, butch lesbians get raped. All manner of women get raped.

Also, there are lots of men who parade around in the summer time with practically no clothes on. No shirts, teeny tiny shorts, etc. They do it in all sorts of public places. I wonder why this dude isn’t lecturing men about how they should dress if they don’t want to get raped? Oh yeah, that’s right… because this is just about controlling women and nothing else.

Dude, I’m a man. And should I be near the beach and see a bombshell in a bikini lying around I still wouldn’t think of molesting her. Because I have something called self-control. That and a basic amount of respect for my fellow human beings. Sure, I’d greatly appreciate the view for what little time I have, but “look don’t touch” is in full play here.

Besides, pretty sure even “basic” women dressed conservatively can get harassed in public by assholes. So there goes your argument.

Tony Perkins #fundie

Frankly, the state of California should not be instructing the church — the church should be instructing the government on what is right and wrong.

Oh, no, FUCK no. I guess I have to break out my favorite Thomas Jefferson quote again?

I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" thus building a wall of eternal separation between Church & State.

Jesus said in Matthew 19 that the Creator “made them male and female,” and then described marriage in terms of a man and a woman. Does teaching those words humiliate someone who rejects the biblical understanding of sex and marriage?

Well, I’m a staunch supporter of LGBT rights, so yeah, I guess I reject a lot of “the biblical understanding of sex and marriage.” I’m an atheist, so how in the fuck would you even think that would “humiliate” me????

Yes, my belief as well as expectation for the future of SI is a very happy one indeed.

“SI” means one of two things to me. You’re either saying “yes” in español, and your “caps lock” got stuck maybe, or we’re talking about the magazine “Sports Illustrated.” (those “swimsuit issues” were something else back in the day, lol)

Trump replaced the “artificial” part, not the “intelligence” part. And made it worse in the process, implying that AI is already more intelligent then humans.

I’m probably not telling you anything you don’t already know, but in at least SOME specific ways, it already is, and has been for a while. Computers have been better at chess than human for like almost 30 years, I think, and the AI chess engines now are just scary lol

Too many folks seem to have forgotten that Pres. Trump told the Data Center owners that they must have their own electrical power source. Water is being recycled for use to cool the Data Centers, so water usage is not as high as all the nay sayers claim.

That’s kind of a “non sequitur” ain’t it? Data centers have to have their own power source…but they’re using recycled water for cooling? OK, that’s fine, but where are these new power sources coming from? There was a data center planned to be built literally less than a mile down the road from where I live, it got either put on hold or abandoned for reasons I honestly don’t know about, but I never heard anything about a new power plant being built for it.

Myself, I cannot begin to fathom the gigantic amount of information/data collection this volume of monetary transaction monitoring will require. Not sure how the funds in my account will be divided in such a way to assign $X to one gold brick, while $XX is assigned to another gold brick since my currency funds come from different sources. Or how when I purchase goods, pay everyday bills – like lawncare, which gold bar those funds’ transfer/payments will be assigned to.

”Yes, I myself realise that this financial strategy makes no sense, but that’s just proof of its sophistication, so I will invest all my money into it and you should, too. What could possibly go wrong?”

xaelai #sexist #psycho

Sure, the guy is definitely at fault, but

Oh, you should have really just stopped before you got to the “but.” I guess it’s a way of TRYING to say you’re not REALLY “blaming the victim” when you in fact totally are.

This includes women and skimpy clothing. There's no reason to wear skimpy clothing other than to get men to lust after them.

Uh…I can think of a few pretty good reasons a woman might wear skimpy clothing other than to be lusted after by men. How about because they’re going swimming, and/or to the beach, and it’s a hot day, or going to work out? All situations where one doesn’t really want to wear a lot of clothes, whether they’re trying to attract lust or not.

Of course though, despite how surprising it apparently might seem to this person, just because a man sees some woman and “lusts after” her, it doesn’t mean they’re going to or want to rape her! I myself see attractive women all the time, and sometimes get very, uh…indecent thoughts, lol…but they don’t get any farther than that…thoughts.
