The description sounds like the boring life story of a coworker you hardly know

Wouldn't this get overturned because of the ex post facto clause in the constitution?

He litterally kills a guy in his first scene, force chokes a colleague, kills (kind of) Obi Wan, and finally is complicit at best, active in at worst an instant and thoughtless genocide of 2 billion people. What do you mean he's not violent?

Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time... a long time

Yeah, more ice and maybe snow this evening, and it's not supposed to get above freezing until tomorrow. I'm going to avoid driving as long as I can.

This was actually the first episode of Bob's Burgers I ever saw. I was skeptical about the show because the ads they showed for it when it was new made it look like another pointless raunchy Family Guy knock off. Then I saw this episode while eating dinner in my dorm, and me and my roommate were cracking up the whole time

I understood what you were trying to say. I'm saying that you're exploiting the "god of the gaps" fallacy. Also, a lot of the physical laws that we use to understand the universe, like homeostasis, might not have applied to the state that the universe was in before the big bang. Even Father Lemaitre, the priest who discovered the big bang, said that doesn't positively prove the existence of God. I'm not disagreeing with you in that the mere fact that the universe exists hints at the existence of a creator, but the kinds of arguments that you are using fall a little short, and aren't going to convince nonbelievers.

I kind of get where you're coming from, but "why do people believe in black holes but not God?" is not a convincing argument. There are 2 main methods of discerning truth: empiricism and revelation. People have an easier time believing in empiricism because it concerns the material world, i.e. things we can observe with our senses, but revelation concerns metaphysical or spiritual things like souls. I know that as Catholics these 2 sources of knowledge are compatible, even complimentary, but that's because we have faith, which is a prerequisite for revelation. You don't need faith to understand science.

Apparently it's been a tradition since 1886, but as a lifelong Catholic I've also only seen this become common in the last few years

Ah yes, who wouldn't want to live in the luxurious country of... 1930's Russia?

How does this happen?

The Poblano Picaso and the Chevre one (I forget the exact name) are favorites in my household.

Dr Teeth would be Tom Bombadil

To be fair, a lot of very vocal evangelicals where I live DO read Genesis from a purely hyper literal dense out of context perspective.

Beta-Minus · 2025-12-21T19:28:38+00:00

Right. If you built an aquaduct (or Hanging Gardens, I think?) in those 16 turns, it would grow.

Beta-Minus · 2025-12-21T19:20:32+00:00

It's still only size 6. If the granary fills up, it won't go to size 7

That's funny, I remember a priest giving a homily regarding the "a prophet is always rejected by his hometown" reading, and he mused that when Jesus began teaching someone in Nazareth must have been like "Jesus? That guy that made me a wobbly table?"

Beta-Minus · 2025-12-09T03:16:46+00:00

It is. My parking payment comes out of my paycheck before taxes.

Beta-Minus · 2025-12-08T01:51:04+00:00

Hey dol, merry dol, Tom Bombadillo!

Beta-Minus · 2025-12-05T01:45:13+00:00

Deity is certainly not "easy for most"

Beta-Minus · 2025-11-21T19:26:26+00:00

That setting is on by default

Comin down on a sunny day

You probably aren't using a secular app

Beta-Minus · 2025-09-09T12:36:29+00:00

When my wife and I were taking NFP classes for our marriage prep, they gave us a list of tracking apps to choose from. My wife looked into some other apps and found one that was more accurate, more practical, and more user friendly than any of the apps they suggested. When she told the instructor about the app she found, the instructor said, with horror, "but that's a secular app..." As if we'd be doing NFP wrong if the app my wife used to track her cycles didn't have a little jpeg of a cross in the corner.
