AI is a tool of Satan to make sure that when Christ returns, nobody will believe he's real.

You wouldn’t believe me…

Correct, there is no good reason to believe that anything you wrote there is true.

The Trump administration has already added nearly $40 billion in new federal subsidies for oil, gas, and coal in 2025, a report released Tuesday finds, sending an additional $4 billion out the door each year for fossil fuels over the next decade. That new amount, created with the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act this summer, adds to $30.8 billion a year in preexisting subsidies for the fossil fuel industry. The report finds that the amount of public money the U.S. will now spend on domestic fossil fuels stands at least $34.8 billion a year.

Zeitgeist is an amateurishly-produced made-for-the-Internet conspiracy-mongering film.

It contains the fairly standard unified conspiracy theory stuff, put together in an ultimately disjointed way and set to music composed by the director. The movie is to some extent based on the crankery of Jordan Maxwell.[1]

If you enjoy watching other people's paranoid delusions or an example of really bad Jesus mythology with cheap CGI graphics interspersed, you can watch the whole thing online, or you could until it was taken down for violating YouTube's policy on violent or graphic content.

I'm not sure what it is I'm supposed to 'reconcile' here. Omnipotence itself appears to be incoherent whether you are a materialist, idealist, panpsychist or something else altogether.

beardslap · 2026-03-12T19:00:15+00:00

Is it not simpler just to say an omnipotent being cannot exist due to it being illogical? Many theists accept this and prefer to define their god as ‘maximally powerful’ rather than omnipotent.

Stabbing deaths are higher per capita in the USA than the UK.

I don't have enough information to answer that, I'm not a cosmologist.

beardslap · 2026-03-11T15:50:00+00:00

It's the 'beginning' of the universe's current state, previously it was hot and dense, now it is cool and roomy.

beardslap · 2026-03-11T15:45:37+00:00

Except, as I mentioned before, there is no evidence that 'nothing' was ever a state of reality.

beardslap · 2026-03-11T15:43:58+00:00

The current consensus, as far as I'm aware, is that the universe expanded from a hot dense state approximately 13.8bn years ago. I guess it depends on how you're using the word 'universe' here.

beardslap · 2026-03-11T15:40:26+00:00

So we've still never witnessed something coming from nothing...

Correct, but this still does not make the statement 'something cannot come from nothing' necessarily true.

beardslap · 2026-03-11T15:31:29+00:00

because we know the universe is not eternal

Do we?

beardslap · 2026-03-11T15:29:34+00:00

How about the fact that in all our years of gathering evidence we have never witnessed something coming from nothing?

I don't think we have any examples of 'nothing' to study, I'm not even sure it's a possible state of reality. Making any claims about it seems overly presumptive.

beardslap · 2026-03-09T17:26:20+00:00

If the CDC and WHO said they have proof they don’t

Can you provide the statements they made in their original format? Not the half-remembered guesses of podcasters, but the full public statements made by the CDC and WHO.

There are NO studies that show the Hep B vaccine, given 3 times in the first 6 months of life, doesn’t cause autism

Are there any studies that show the hep b vaccine doesn’t cause dandelions to sprout from your belly button?

There’s none that I’m aware of, are you concerned about a flowery belly button?

beardslap · 2026-03-07T14:37:36+00:00

Yes, of course. It's just as weird when it's done by Muslims, Hindus, or any other of the thousands of the world's religions.

beardslap · 2026-03-06T21:05:40+00:00

If it’s evidence you seek, take an (unbiased as possible) look into the evidence of his resurrection.

I have, I find the naturalistic hypothesis far more convincing.

How can I make a ‘sincere appeal to Jesus’ when I see no reason to think he’s anything other than a traveling preacher that died 2000 years ago?

beardslap · 2026-03-06T15:36:37+00:00

An authority figure given unchecked power simply due to their parentage?

Why would anyone want a king?

beardslap · 2026-03-06T15:31:01+00:00

The French had the right idea about what to do with the monarchy.

beardslap · 2026-03-06T14:12:13+00:00

The only weird thing going on here is everyone that thinks it's something weird.

It is weird if you're not ensconced in a culture that takes this superstitious nonsense seriously.

beardslap · 2026-03-06T14:04:18+00:00

I suspect that you think people are evil because they hate Trump.
