  1. If our modern country can tumble into dust because a private website deleted a post by some random person on the internet, then we didn't deserve to exist anyway.
  2. For the record, this is Linus. 🥰
  3. That is three times in a row now that you've sidestepped a response. No one asked you to define 'torment' or for your convoluted thoughts on martyrs. Simply throwing out a lot of words that are peripherally related to the topic is not the same as reasoned debate.
  4. Straw man. I did not claim people should not be created with the ability to choose. I said god is a dick for knowingly creating people he is going to later torment for eternity. If I hate cats due to their nature and would torture any that were in my house, then I too would be a dick for purposely bringing a cat into my house knowing what was going to happen to it.
  5. And being omnipotent, when he created me, he KNEW that in 100 years he was going to cast me into hell. What a dick. If god were moral he would not create me in the first place as he knew I would be damned to hell when I died.
  6. Given that you claimed there was none, perhaps you can provide us with the data that supports your assertion and tells us what was around 2000 years ago.
  7. Specific question: How do you know that is what leads most people to god?
  8. I asked you what your statement meant and you said "I can't remember". If you cannot even remember what you mean from one moment to the next that is hardly my fault.
  9. Do you have any idea how a forum works?
  10. The universe is a complex place that doesn't easily conform to our everyday experiences. Perhaps you are not yet ready to explore it.
  11. I did, and you said...
  12. This is a science site, not a nonsense site.
  13. What does that mean?
  14. The universe is not contained in all things. All things are contained in the universe.
  15. You have that backwards.
  16. Now you want to talk religion and philosophy? Look, a penny!
  17. Most characters in the Bible are Jewish or infidels. Which character in the Bible does this remind you of. Reminds me of David who killed Uriah in order to avoid the consequences of stealing Uriah's wife. I don't see how running away is an attribute of Christianity. Except in the bible that is typically done through magic. So is Bertrand Russell but that doesn't make him a Christian. You mean like when he claimed Chinese people were "filthy and obtuse"? I think you are really stretching things trying to make Einstein sound like a Christian. You could make him sound like a proponent of nearly any organization or religion if you cherry pick enough.
  18. There are also efforts to create 'structural' batteries, where components of the plane such as walls or floors are both structural and act as batteries. This reduces the need to add weight to the plane for power as it is already contained in the structural components. https://www.popularmechanics.com/flight/airlines/a43490954/structural-batteries-electric-aircraft/
  19. Wouldn't this be a lot more efficient if I debated with the person who wrote this post rather than the person who lifted it word for word from someone else?
  20. I know LOTS of Christians and they are very far from reactionary. Most of the ones I know are left and far-left. Well, you could ask...
  21. Neither do I. Of course that has nothing to do with your two statements not being in conflict.
  22. Those two statements are not in conflict. The first says it is a sin. The second does not say if it is a sin or not. You are making assumptions.
  23. This should be a learning moment for you. Not everyone thinks like you do.
  24. Billions of what? There were no dollars or euros back then. Wealth was measured in land, slaves, and chests of silver.
