Not only that, but if you genuinely believed there was an intelligent designer of the universe, wouldn’t you study both the book and the universe as much as possible?
Like, the book claims the creator of the universe is light (1 John 1:5).
In our actual universe, light can be more than one thing at once when it cannot be directly observed, and different separate eventual observers can each observe different results.
If the universe was intelligently designed and their book is correct in claiming that designer is light, then shouldn’t they conclude that there isn’t one correct answer about what that creator is or isn’t while it cannot be observed? And perhaps recognize that different people might each end up observing different results when they individually leave this world to meet it?
But no, instead let’s fight wars over who is absolutely right about the designer of a fundamentally relative universe while closing our eyes to any of the actual study of that universe which disagrees with assumptions that financially benefitted the organization built on top of that book.
Oh yeah! There’s only a 30 year lag between change in input to the atmosphere and temperature, and 70% of emissions are industrial, but if I drive a little less today the world will be saved. Yay.
Kids nowadays are so fragile with your participation trophies and dying from touching the ground. In my day, we pull up our bootstraps and head for the coal mines, then lie down on asphalt to nap like Real Men™ do.
My thoughts exactly at first I was laughing and then I realized how f****** dangerous this is. Yeah lets base AI off of religion… You know the thing that has caused pretty much most of the suffering in the world.
Disagreeing with those specific people for their actions is not the same as hatred for white people. An asshole is an asshole whether they’re black, white or green.
This happened to my Mom a few years ago in New Mexico. She was late 70s and immuno-compromised from cancer treatments. She ended up hospitalized on a ventilator due to meningitis resulting from the Listeria infection. She made it out OK, but it was very serious.
Best theory the Health Department had that it was from unpasteurized cheese.
I hate the Judeo-Christian term. Jews and Christians don’t even have the same values. Christians are more about salvation (being saved in the next life) where Jews don’t even really believe in hell. Jews are more about following rituals and traditions as a controlled environment is a safe environment (where Christians think the old traditions have been bunked). Add in the fact that Christians interpreted the old testament so vastly different then Jews, and you’ll see this term is empty.
Then there is the fact that outside of supporting Israel, American Christians tend to be bigoted towards the Jews.
The only thing Jews and Christians share in common is being mostly white. That’s as deep as it goes for these people, they don’t know a thing about Israel
Catholics have a ton in common with Jews. I say this being in an interfaith marriage and being raised catholic. I often feel however, that I have more in common with Jews than Christians. Most Christians have gone off the deep end interpreting Jesus fan fiction as fact.
One of the telltale signs of what you are saying is renaming the “most Arab” parts of Palestine as the “Negev.” In the Old Testament the Negev was the semi-arid valley around Beersheba. Everything south of it belonged to the Ishamaleites.
Now, they renamed half of Palestine to the Negev to hide the fact that the borders of Palestine have nothing to do with the kingdoms of Israel or Judah and hiding the fact that modern day Palestine had native populations of Amorites, Phoenicians, Israelites, Judahites, Philistines, and Arabs even in “Israel’s heyday.”
I think the average uneducated American perception of Israel is a bunch of white guys with funny hair and black suits. Most are totally unaware of the details of the Palestine conflict or other nuances
Idk just a difference of opinion then I guess. Living in america, all of the jews I’ve known personally have been decidedly pale. But I’m not christian or racist so it’s hard to say what they think.
They don’t always agree on that. In fact I was watching a Jewish rabbi and he was talking about Islam. He said Islam has the same God but Christianity has the same relevations. This only together did Islam and Christianity spread Judaism to the masses.
Seriously. I worked at a law firm one time that thas been around for like thirty years. Some of the younger partners bought out the older ones that were retiring and then wanted to change the name. Something like 75% of people who found the firm’s website did so by searching the name. I went bullshit. The name changed and new business dropped off.
Climate change is just getting started and people should start suing cities and design firms for failing to include shade requirements in their standards and for making roads too wide to properly shade
Where natural shade can’t be sustained artificial shade needs to be provided.
The single family house on a grass lawn is such a stupid idea in many places
I wish, but I just know the segregationist city planners in my town will just lay down more asphalt and gated suburbs. We don’t even have sidewalks or crosswalks even though there’s people walking/biking everywhere. They intentionally make our towns unlivable.
This article is bullshit. It’s just more “Here are things you can/should do to help stop climate change.” Things like that don’t inspire hope; in fact, they can worsen the dread.
Yeah. Unless the only item is “beat down the doors of your local legislature and industry CEOs” then any individual action is not going to have meaningful impact.
Why do I suspect his ass is the first to flee when shit gets real? Doubt he can live up to his own lyrics, evidence has shown most of these people can’t.
At the end of the day, the root cause of bigotry is cowardice. Maybe stupidity and indoctrination got them where they are, but for 100% of them, it’s cowardice that’s keeping them there.
Security video obtained by The Oklahoman shows Lincoln County District Judge Traci Soderstrom texting or messaging for minutes at a time during jury selection, opening statements and testimony in the trial for a man in the death of his girlfriend’s son. At one point, Soderstrom searched for a GIF, an animated image.
