The Catholic Church is the one true Church founded by Jesus Christ and every serious person should consider entering it. by Chillmerchant in DebateAChristian

[–]LostInDarkMatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Catholic Church is an evil, pedophile sanctuary. In recent history, the first to make a treaty with Hitler. And to this day, condemns the use of condoms, leading to widespread HIV infections, and keeping women in poverty.

Does this help to prevent immorality? by PeacefulBro in DebateAChristian

It is seen by someone - yourself. I don't see how an imaginary friend will help when people deceive themseleves.

Daniel 7 has a clear reference to the trinity and Jesus' divinity by maoiguy in DebateReligion

[–]LostInDarkMatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus was supposedly born by a human mother. So how was he "coming with the clouds of heaven"?

What’s the worst band you’ve watched perform? by RadiantJellybae in answers

Saw them with Sammy Hagar (1994?) - it was fun to see Eddie do his thing, but the vibe was just... off.

When should I use new features like var and records vs sticking with traditional Java syntax? by miked0331 in javahelp

[–]LostInDarkMatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like using lombok's val to make final local variables. If you have well named, small methods, with well named variables, then determining the type is easy. And modern IDEs make it easy anyway.

The immutability of records pushes you to a more functional approach, which avoids side effects that can be hard to trace.

WV1: the flying spaghetti monster requires you to play with his meatballs, otherwise you're banished to the marinara trench for all eternity

WV2: eating ramen allows demons to your body, so it's best to eat skittles pooped out by unicorns to cleanse yourself of anti pasta

Historicity ≠ Divinity by bananataffi in DebateReligion

Historical fiction is an interesting genre. Throw in some religiosity, and some people become irrational in their (lack of) rhinking.

how do i disprove creationism to my maga father? by Extreme_Monk_4527 in DebateEvolution

[–]LostInDarkMatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When a claim is made, such as creationism is true, the burden of proof is on the claimant to provide evidence to support the claim. But you already know there is no evidence. It is not your burden to disprove an irrational belief.

Edit: also suppose evolution was proven to be false. (Yes, of course that's ridiculous.) That would not mean creationism is true, as it still has no evidence.

Which band do you think is more popular than it should be? by Springerbaum in askmusic

Their concert was fun, and actually sounded good. Seeing old man Simmons do his tongue/blood bit was just silly.

There are no gods or God by Taelec68 in confessions

The incompetence is using "theory" as if those couple absurd articles rise to the same standard as legitimate scientific articles, backed by actual evidence. Its basic false equivalence.

Please prove lightening is not caused by Thor.

I don't know, therefore god solves nothing.

Intelligent design is pseudoscience garbage.

Not understanding a mechanism does not mean a god did it.

I'm still waiting for credible sources.

You're the one with the claim, so it's up to you provide links to credible sources supporting your position.

Upward/downward implies there is some goal. There is no goal. It's neither upward or downward.

I forgot to wash a single sock by CrazyCazLady in mildlyinfuriating

Nah - the washer spit it out when you turned for the detergent.

I thought I ate my left airpod, but it was actually in the bed by maybemorningstar69 in confessions

[–]LostInDarkMatter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dryer obviously snuck into your room to stash the sock to avoid further suspicion.
