  Quoting a Breibart page always reminds me of an ocean of orange soda!

  It's all a Fanta-sea

  I am very right leaning, but that made me chuckle. Nice one oppostate.

  Jehovah? Oh dear.

  by Giordano in

  some recent new friends on this forum like friend kosonen are fixated with god's name being jehovah...unfortunately they are wrong:.

  a quick bit of history:.

  "about the 13th century the term “jehovah” appeared when christian scholars took the consonants of “yahweh” and pronounced it with the vowels of “adonai.” this resulted in the sound “yahowah,” which has a latinized spelling of “jehovah.” the first recorded use of this spelling was made by a spanish dominican monk, raymundus martini, in 1270.. interestingly, this fact is admitted in much jehovah’s witness literature, such as their aid to bible understanding (p. 885).

  I've always thought people were way to fixated on it. I speak English. That made up God from the Hebrews, in English, is pronounced Jehovah. I could give a rats ass on how it was pronounced in Israel 3000 years ago, with some dead language that no one speaks.

  Who is considered more bizarre?

  by incognito2014 in

  jws or mormons.

  from a public point of view not from people within the religion as that would be obvious.. examples of extreme beliefs or behaviour would be useful..

  Epicurean Paradox

  The main flaw in the Epicurean paradox, as I see it, is that it makes a semantic error. It assumes that if a thing has omnipotence — the ability to do anything— then that thing is then capable of doing everything simultaneously. It reduces to the sillier and more obvious question: “If God can go left and right, why can’t s’he do both?” Of course, perhaps an omnipotent being could manage somehow to go left and right simultaneously, but how would it have to change the world as we know it in order to make that possibility a reality?

  The problem is that we humans are not omniscient — not all-knowing — and so we can only reflect on things from our tightly delimited and separated worlds of experience. If we live in Florida and there’s a flood that kills 20 people, we shake our fist at the sky and say “How could you let this evil happen? 20 people died!” But what if the consequence of preventing that flood would have meant a drought in Ethiopia that killed hundreds? And what if the consequences of preventing both would have resulted in a war in Ghana that killed tens of thousands? and what if the consequences of preventing all three would be a plague that ravaged Asia and killed millions? And what if preventing all four entailed some subtle change that would make life more or less impossible on this planet? We already see this effect from our own short-sighted efforts: our hunger for mechanical and electrical power has polluted the atmosphere in ways that are driving up global temperatures, risking any number of world-wide catastrophes and extinctions. A God is by definition not short-sighted — s’he is omniscient — and so s’he will have a very broad and clear view on which path is best to take. But still, s’he can’t easily take all paths.

  Of course, I suppose we could imagine a world in which a God constantly intervened to prevent all badness to everyone. It would be a world of constant miracles in which there was no consistency or predictability; where natural laws changed from moment to moment and person to person in order to protect everyone; where no one ever really got to make any choices for themselves, because God was always redirecting things to keep them safe and happy. It would be like living in a universe run by an all-powerful, all-seeing, and all-meddling (and all-stereotypical, apologies) Jewish mother. How horrible would that be?

  We lack the knowledge to evaluate the morality of natural events, because we cannot see what a God might see. We should focus on the morality of our own acts.

  according to white house task-force expert: .

  Following Fall Guy's link to the CDC, there would have been 3500 additional deaths if there wasn't any vaccination for the flu. I think he forgot that about 50% of the population has been vaccinated against the flu and even if they weren't the flu would be no where as lethal or contagious as coronavirus which has been subjected to an intense quarantine.

  What's up with old geezers in the Bible?

  by eyeuse2badub in

  what the hell is the problem with the famous “men of old” in the bible?

  for some strange reason those old geezers (and some not so old) could not recognize who they were screwing?.

  my wife was listening to this week’s bible reading about jacob, laban, and the sisters leah, and rachael.

  We know what that is in the USA. We also use the term butter face. Everything about her is hot, but her face. Better bag it!

  They have cancelled all "public" witnessing in my area (PA, USA) They are informing their members to call their elders to get phone and letter writing territories. Also to do all bible studies over the phone, and call all return visits by telephone.
