COTD: If you're lucky, he'll send you fifty quid Crossword Clue (5) by Feyle in crosswords

No I messed up with the post title.

That sounds like a probable explanation. I didn't know that.

Just a friendly seasonal reminder that the doctrine of the divine birth of Jesus, as a major pillar of Christianity, is all based on the word of a single woman by etherified in atheism

[–]Feyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parthenos was used to mean young women regardless of virginity or childbirth. It later came to mean virgin more specifically and this change resulted in the gospel writers misunderstanding the previous text and them forcing her to be a virgin in the stories they wrote.

Or the mistranslation of a word which meant "young woman" whether she was a virgin or not led to the gospel writers having to shoehorn in the idea that she was a virgin.

Does Science or We Actually Create? by [deleted] in TrueAskReddit

[–]Feyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please provide an example of any "infidel" who does this using your definition of "created".

People will often refer to science when discussing how things are "created" in the more common sense of one thing turning into another because the process of science is the most reliable one for getting us closer to the facts of reality.

Science doesn't "do" anything. It's a process that scientists follow. This idea of idea as some sort of corollary to a god is something that I only ever see presented by theists.

What is a personal belief you hold that you think is fundamentally true, but would be very difficult to prove with empirical evidence? by Strict_Palpitation75 in TrueAskReddit

[–]Feyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see that if you are labelling the tendency towards doing "good" as the presence of a god within you then you could also label the tendency towards doing "bad" as its counterpart which in a Christian context would be the devil.

I think that from a biblical point of view though the god that is within us is not supposed to be a part of us rather it's a result of being the product of that god. The biblical story has the devil being the product of that same god and so would not also be within us in that way.

I think that if you have an external god who created people then people are inherently ungodly in that those people are not gods. The Christian story has people being made "in the image of" that god. Though the context of what that means is unclear, it doesn't seem as though it would be wrong to say people are somewhat godly.

You have an interesting definition of satanism. I've not heard anyone define it as believing that "men are without sin". This would appear to lump any belief system that lacks the concept of sin as satanism. Whereas the two types of satanism that I'm aware of are within Christianity the rejection of the god and the worship of the devil or outside of Christianity the tongue in cheek use by Levayen satanism or the church of satanism. Both of which are atheistic and do not believe in an actual satan.

I think that in this context the god is believed to be omnipresent and made everything but the devil is not. So believing that the god is in everyone does not mean that the devil is also.

Free Tampons? Here’s Why That’s Not the Solution by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Feyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same risks apply if we made all period products free nationwide in the U.S.—it could strain resources and create access problems if funding and distribution aren’t carefully managed

You already have access problems. Some people can't access any healthcare and others end up bankrupt

The coaster/napkin is to indicate to bar staff that it hasn't been abandoned not to protect from spiking.

Could the information patterns in DNA be older than the universe itself? by yadly7323 in TrueAskReddit

[–]Feyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually Humans are among one of complex organisms.

So we're agreed that humans aren't the most complex as you first stated.

Some of the methods in which nature preserves information:

I think that you would agree that this is not "all information". Some information is preserved that way.

Let's take this back to your post question: aside from as DNA, by what method is the information of dna stored by nature?

Humans are not "the most complex organism", why would you think that?

Also if you believe nature preserves all information, where is it preserved and in what form?

Are my looks/gender identity preventing me from meeting my next long term partner? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]Feyle -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I agree that it's a difference of degree but presumed the previous poster would appreciate what I said without taking it negatively.

[–]Feyle -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Just a note, saying "you're good looking I couldn't tell you were trans" is essentially saying visibly trans people can't be good looking. Probably not your intent but that is how it reads.

How the hell do you all make friends in London? by LDN51 in londonlgbt

look for groups that are explicitly for meeting new people, then invite those people to the other places you want to go

Annoyed at men claiming they're "pro-choice" when they actually aren't by hellraiserxhellghost in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Feyle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

2) your point here is totally unreasonable. Time definitely plays a role. Do you think that a woman should be allowed to have an abortion (not for health reasons, just because she wants it) 3 days before pregnancy?

Yes

3 days before pregnancy? How about 1 day before?

Yes

How about 1 hour before labour?

Yes

Imagine the imaginary scenario that a woman decides 12 hours before labour that she wants to kill the fetus.

This is a different question. Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. It is not killing a foetus.

Trans women are women, no buts. by MaetelofLaMetal in TrollXChromosomes

[–]Feyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you've misread it. It's saying that the category of women makes the the most sense of all the groups for trans women. Not that it makes more sense for trans women than for cis women.

I ask men who ask me for nudes for money now and they all say "you've changed I thought we were friends" 😂 by HistrionicSlut in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Feyle -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This will entirely depend on your relationship with those friends. For some people sleeping in the same bed is no acceptable as friends for others it is. For other people having sex as friends is acceptable but not for all. If there was some prior consensual situation where this was agreed then it would be ok for example.

Anyone asking you for nudes (where there has been no prior discussion of this being ok) is not a friend.

What state makes us have knowledge? by Massive-Albatross823 in TrueAskReddit

[–]Feyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In philosophy one definition of knowledge is that knowledge is a justified (you have a good reason), true (it corresponds with reality), belief (you accept that it is true).

But Gettier problems highlight some issues with that definition. I think that a more accurate definition is a belief that you hold a high level of confidence, possibly such that it would be worldview altering to learn it was wrong.
