The next time a Christian tries to tell you that Old Testament law does not apply, site this: Matthew 5:17-19 “17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away...

All theologies are inherently pliable. Good Muslims think the Koran is peaceful and urges peace. Bad ones site the warlike passages and take them literally and apply them to the modern age. Neither interpretation is wrong. There's a lot of stuff said in that book. And in the Christian...

Christianity more than any other religion expanded and grew by the sword. By far more than any other religion. In fact, it's why there are more Christians today in the world than any other religion. In medieval Europe, pagans, Jews and Muslims were either killed, or persecuted/tortured into...

Why do so many Christian athletes thank God for winning the big game? What does God have to do with their performance on the field? Is God picking a winner, or is it about the skill of the players on the field? It really can't be both. In principle the outcome of a sports game is no...

Robot mops, robot vacuums, etc. Soon enough those jobs will go. Already eliminated all the bridge toll operators; auto-checkout eliminating jobs at grocery and big box; chatboxes eliminating customer service jobs, etc. Robotic construction coming along as well. If we don't have something...

Democrats, and abortion providers. https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/minnesota-shootings-manhunt-06-14-25 Not really anything to debate here.

Education is the answer, or at least, it would have been before we became irrevocably screwed. My take on what the OP is discussing is this. These are repetitive cognitive errors that humans make. What I mean by cognitive error is forming a belief that does not accord with objective reality...

That's because they were working with allied powers, strong countries who would militarily intervene using intelligence they provided. If they had to do it on their own, they'd have been useless. Any resistance to fascism in this country is something we have to do on our own. If you or...

Yup, it can be very difficult. All working class and most middle class have little to no chance of being able to do it. I wonder if some democracies may eventually open up more immigration from Americans, as things here become more and more authoritarian. They aren't there yet, but maybe...

Good question. Biggest problem is that immigration there is usually job based, like you have a job offer from a company there. Yet I'm near retirement age and I am in an occupation (law) that doesn't transfer well to other countries. Still, I met a British couple who were able to retire...

Half of America is ignorant as fuck and will never be in touch with reality, will always be easily manipulable by unscrupulous pols and businessmen. I'm tried of fighting such an impenetrable wall of ignorance. I'm going to move to New Zealand when I can afford to. Which is probably 2-3...

This unfortunately is not good politics in this country. Proof of that is who we just put in the oval office.

No they haven't been. We are in a process of political polarization in this country. It goes both ways.

And just as you've been told that notions of murder and theft being wrong predates the Bible, so too does the golden rule. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule Because religion didn't create this common sense notion of morality. Rather, some religions picked up on what was already out...

It doesn't take imagination to envisage what has been done in history multiple times. A would be dictator cancels an election because of a "terrorist attack," be it real or something staged. Like the Reichstag fire. I don't think he's likely to succeed, but I think he could well try.
