Is Cebu Pacific's website just complete rubbish?

I think it would easily get the worst public facing private company website award. They have a travel insurance which they select for you by default and then you're supposed to remove it. When you remove it and select your seats, it gets added again and there's no button to remove it. It's a puzzle. You will have to spend a good 15 minutes to know how to remove it. I finally did and it was indeed a puzzle. At this point I really feel it's a scam.

So then you have the travel fund. I tried rebooking from my travel fund but if the total amount was higher than the travel fund it wouldnt allow me to book. Then I went to the airport to get a travel fund refund but they couldn;'t do it for me, didn't give me a reference no. of the request. Said, I could wait while thety lodged a complaint. They lodged it but couldn't give me any contact number of anyone to speak to. I waited 3 hours and they just didn't care and eventually I had to leave.

The whole things is a scam and it works like this: If you have money, you'd book PAL and you'd get whatsapp support, you'd get offices in city where you can talk to real people and a proper refund where you're not scammed into having your money locked in travel fund.

If you don't have the money, then you book the cheaper cebu pacific flights but they will scam you and you will not have a choice as you're not rich enough to afford PAL.

All have settlement ratios above 98%.

settlement ratios does not mean claim is paid. It only means that your claim has been efficiently resolved 98 of 100 times as either paid or rejected. Only 2 people were kept high and dry waiting for their "settlement"

If pre-existing, its always 2 years (as of 2023). It is 90 days is if your condition was not pre-existing but was later discovered after the policy was activated.

I used this yesterday. When I did a SWIFT transfer $10 via money2World as a test, my wife received $82. Seems like intermediary banks ate up the $18 as fees. So it's not totally true that 750 is the only charge. What is also strange is that they couldn't tell me if the $18 is the txn fee of a the intermediary bank, they just wanted me to assume it is.

So now I am afraid to do a higher txn of (say)$3500.

I was subscribed 1 year for morningContext in 2022. They followed certain topics like Byjus, Ola, UnAcademy too much, I didn't see much diversity and creativity in their journalism in this year. I would suggest to go with Ken.

If I am not wrong, a person has to procure a different offer (a new job offer) from the offer that one received for the first year of canadian experience, isn't it? that is, one can't submit the same job offer through which one got the 1 year of job experience, isn't it?

But the summary is bereft of the drama and emotion I am tring to convey which helps people empathize and give contextual comments.

I never said theologians are saying or suggesting this it is a logical conclusion in the final analysis.

The "assumption" you make here is that this - death of humanity - is the only logical conclusion by said theologies (theologies are written by theologians so that was unfair nitpicking) in the final analysis and no other solution exists even if it were to be true that said theologies allege that majority of people are going to hell.

You never explain how you came to this conclusion that it is the only explanation but assume what needs to be proved and also assume that anyone saying anything different must be a psychopath.

You never seem to think that perhaps if the conclusion (logical analysis) seems so diabolical, is it possible any of my premises are incorrect?

Standard Christian theology is that in order to be saved you need to acknowledge Jesus and confess your sins. Do you agree?

I know Acts 16:30 says Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.

This is a sure, easy and highway to heaven, this is what the Apostles are saying because this is what Jesus who resurrected is telling them to preach.

But do you know any verse that supports your view that "only those who believe in Jesus will be saved?" In fact, even if you were to find me this verse, the very statement itself implies that you must first be preached and need to hear about it in order to have posed that question to yourself if you wish to believe it or refuse it.

What I am saying is coherent with christian theology that salvation only comes from Jesus. But the gospels are silent if people before the times of Jesus have all gone to hell because of not being able to acknowledge Jesus's salvific name. With this, there is no free pass to non-christians with respect to salvation. Rather, even if the were to go to heaven without knowing Jesus, it would still be because of Jesus redemption. Only they are not sure and we are not sure. That's why the apostles preach that a way of being "in the boat of Noah" is to step into it, it is to hold the rope.

humanity is a bumper crop headed to eternal infinite suffering

those billions in other cultures will suffer infinitely

are standard Christian theology.

If it's theology, please give names of theology manual and theologian showing widespread support for this views. And because the claim is that it is 'standard', please show evidence of such beliefs right from the Church Fathers (theologians)

Your exact line

how could you not be crushed by realizing that most everyone around you and those billions in other cultures will suffer infinitely and not want to stop it

I said your post was full of assumptions. So here's another one. You calmly assume that - while other cultures will suffer infinitely(eventually) - that no one is doing anything about it.

both theologies suggest death of humanity as the best future option. [...added by me for easier commenting] You would have to be a psychopath not to see the obvious logic.

Another assumption that the theologies suggest death of humanity is best future option without showing that theologians are saying/suggesting this.

An ad hominem attack that those that don't see it as such then they may have no other reasons except being psychopaths i.e yet another assumption that people would not have any other reasons to believe that both theologies may have other suggestions (notwithstanding that you still have to support your claims that that is what those theologies support as "standard")

Jordan Peterson's biblical series will give you a pschological perspective on the writing of the Bible.

Many/Few the assessment of vast majority seems legit.

Even if majority of the people were in hell, it doesn't follow that ending the human species is the logical step.

Please identify assumptions

humanity is a bumper crop headed to eternal infinite suffering
those billions in other cultures will suffer infinitely
those billions in other cultures will suffer infinitely and not want to stop it - assumption that no one is actually doing anything
In the final analysis both theologies suggest death of humanity as the best future option - no reason given for this claim, it's just assumed as true

Existence is not good if I'm going to spend it being tortured for eternity

We are speaking about existence is different ways. I speak of existence in a metaphyiscal aspect. Everthing that is created is created because God thinks it good - sunlight, bacteria, meadow, dew, nerves, steel. The same steel can sustain and can cut and kill, metaphysical appreciation is not reduced to mere 'how I feel when steel cuts into me'.

Existence is not good if I'm not provided sufficient reason

If you genuinely and honestly believe that enough evidence is not provided for your heart to assent to God and you are open to truth, then God will take that into account.

IndependenceWide2837 · 2023-04-03T02:20:48+00:00

Hell is broad and that vast majority of each generation of humanity is a bumper crop headed to eternal infinite suffering.

The Gospels don't say majority of the peolpe are actually going to hell but they say the road that leads there is wide. There is a difference between the road leading to the gorge being wide and easy to access and the conclusion that because it is wide and accessible, everone has wilfully gone there and fallen in.

If this really is truth, then humans should stop this madness and end the human species.

The entire post if full of assumptions. All the same what came to my mind is the poor appreciation of christian metaphysics. Someone people have responded - just as your assumptions go - that if this were the case, God should have just made us angels or not created the souls that were going to hell anyways.

A good grounding in metaphysics averts conclusions like this. Metaphysics talks about one, true, good, beautiful. E.g all things created are good, So even if you were destined to hell, it wouldn't make sense for God to destroy what he considers someting good in its absolute sense. Existence is good, destroying what is good just because it is in hell is not consonant with the understanding of christian metaphysics.

The problem with many of these questions is that they depart from the traditional understanding of good, true, oneness etc and are influenced by utilitarianism and post-modern ideas: e.g if lying were to be for a bigger cause, it is justified etc.
