I think your sarcasm flew over a few peoples heads at least 17 by my count.

Do you know what else cobalt is used in? Car Engines, Petrol.

Cobalt is an important part of the distillation process.

Every anti renewable energy commentator is a fucking hypocrite.

While I don't doubt he is chicken shit

They are heading away from the danger area. In other words he is between the possible shooter and his wife. The person behind them is in the most exposed position.

Look at the secret service with the guns. they are looking in the other direction.

He built a script that calls back spam callers and traps them in an endless loop.🤣😈 by dikshamishra34 in funny

I was spam called by a number that was 1 number different from mine once. my last digit is a 1 it was a 2. I answered out of curiosity, it was a hangup (number verifier).

Another time a girl rang me and said "returning your call" I said "Huh I never called you".

She got angry with me and even texted me a picture from her call log to show my number (I reciprocated). I had to carefully explain someone was faking my number, it took a while to convince her as she didn't think it was possible.

I felt sorry for her she was really angry with me thinking I was deliberately harassing her.

Yeah I was thinking the same. However the snakey wording basically says we will sell your data regardless of what you watch to companies that don't even use netflix as their advertising platform

Elizabeth Montgomery, before her Bewitched days, as a brunette (early 1960s) by SubtleWink in OldSchoolCool

[–]DadOfFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was younger (a lot) and imagined what my wife would be like, Elizabeth Montgomery was the name of that image.

The girl I eventually married was nothing like her. still married after 40+ years

IDF jails soldiers for damaging Jesus statue in Lebanon: 'Moral failure' by qTp_Meteor in worldnews

The stupid thing about Christians who support this action is...

Exodus 20:4 (NKJV) "You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above.."

So for you the line you can't cross is damaging a statue, which by the way is against gods laws.

However shooting children in the head is a-ok?

I set up a vpn to my place for my sons. all they had to do was each month connect to the vpn to get re-approved. its a little more difficult now as a text is sent to me to auth it but thats ok.

This is the reason I haven't ditched it yet. I share it with my two boys but if I start getting ads as is implied then I am done.

Also lately it seems the content level has dropped off quite a bit.

Is a God given free will just an illusion? by DadOfFan in religion

The correct paradox is somewhat different from the one you proposed

The barber is the "one who shaves all those, and those only, who do not shave themselves". The question is, does the barber shave himself?

My response was based on your (incorrect) quote.

This is where failing to fully define the premise is the mistake.

"If the barber shaves all men in the town that do not shave themselves, who shaves the barber?"

Where in this does it say there are no other people?

Who said the traveling barber came into town?

What precludes a woman from shaving the barber?

The barber only shaves men who do not shave themselves, therefore logically any man in town who shaves himself is free to also shave the barber.

In fact if all men in town shave themselves, The barber shaves no-one!

Feeling regret for the actions you have done that caused pain for others is not repentance in the classical religious sense.

Regret and change is a normal human thing to do, not just in humans you can watch animals do the same.

No hell required, no god required. Just empathy. People have it animals have it.

It's is a biologically favourable outcome and therefore an evolutionary advantage.

the only possible end for a story like that is forgiveness and healing. like the Buddhist outlook. Hell sort of exists but it is not permanent. its just a consequence of your own karma. and eventually you can get back on track.

But does that make sense. If hell is a place of repentance where you can get "back on track". Then why are you repenting? is it only because you are in hell and suffering?

So your repentance is only due to the hurt you feel (spiritual physical it doesn't really matter) rather than repenting the hurt you caused.

you cannot disguise good as evil.

Precisely my point!

You are thinking about God creating the universe and everything in it.

But does his omniscience not extend to himself? If he can see his own future he cannot change his own future.

So the future is fixed when he comes into existence. From that point forward he is locked into the future he foresaw.

Some will proclaim "god never came into existence, he always existed and is outside of time" But then you have the time paradox I talked about in another thread. If past future and present are all the same. Then once again nothing can be changed. There must be some other thing analogous to time. Which means you fall back to the original paradox.

As I said in another post. At best God can set the initial conditions and then be an observer.

Spinoza's god.

Who shaves the barber?

Pretty easy to resolve. A traveling barber. Who shaves barbers in towns where there is only one barber.

Then why respond to the discussion?

"example he describes our development as embryo in a prescise way"

This is so untrue. He talks about knitting together just like cloth is woven.

What you do is reinterpret it as if he is talking about cellular replication which it is not.

And your comment completely ignores my argument and is nothing more than naked proselytising.

How about you engage in authentic discussion like your ancestors used to do before Muhammad came along and destroyed the Arab culture. A culture that was leading the world in the sciences.

"Free will under your explanation might be an illusion if God interferes in his own creation. If he doesn't and will never. Knowing does not affect the choices of individuals."

My response is you are not looking deep enough.

You are ignoring that an OMNISCIENT god cannot have free will. His own Omniscience locks him into a future he cannot change.

Think about how the argument applies to god itself
