  This shouldn't really be all that surprising.

  There's a reason banishment was a common form of punishment for violent crimes amongst ancient people...

  ...most of us nowadays don't realize that to those selfsame people, banishment was - for all intents and purposes - a death sentence.

  my wife has been off the rails lately.

  she is not really a loving mom or wife.

  she is upset that me and the boys don't believe the same crap as her.

  The importance of being Satan or the Devil

  by Etude in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  while the word "satan" appears in many translations of the old and new testament, it is much more common in the n.t., with only a few mentions in the o.t.

  the word "devil" seems almost exclusively used in the n.t., at least in the few versions i checked.

  this may have something to do with the word origin, satan v devil.

  FFGhost - “Imagine, building a religion whose entire raison d'etre literally hangs on accepting 2 obvious metaphorical legends as absolutely true.”

  Don’t kid yourself.

  It’s not just 2.

  MyName is right...

  ...for most of their history in the US, organized religions have been trusted to essentially police themselves.

  Which, of course, almost guarantees the likelihood of monumental fuckups down the line...

  ...because they are all - at their core - man-made institutions who, when corrupt individuals are in the driver’s seat, inevitably buy into their own rhetoric and propaganda, and thusly make increasingly stupid-ass decisions.

  Complexity, Evolutionists Biggest Problem

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. beliefs

  recently, some scientists modeled one of the simplest known cells - that of a bacteria.

  it took an army of 128 computers running for 10 hours to process the data required in the 25 categories of molecules that are involved in this "simple cells'" life processes.

  think about that for a moment - 128 computers running for 10 hours just to compute the data, not actually do it mind you; but just to model the known processes in one of the simplest known cells, which is many orders of magnitude simpler than a human cell.

  I keep telling everyone here...

  ...no matter what they may say, any creationists’ objections to evolution are - at their core - ideology-based...

  ...not science-based.

  Intellectual honesty... creationism’s biggest problem.

  Do You Think “Normal” Is Ever Going To Happen Again?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  since covid, our lives have all been affected.

  do you think people will ever get back to normal, pre-covid?

  are masks, vaccinations and social distancing the “new normal “?.

  Interesting.

  One of the conclusions I came to during the course of my WTexit was that - like “perfection” - “normal” is subjective.

  The biggest doubters are often the staunchest holdouts.

  It’s an instinctive fear-based response.
