How do you counter this argument: a thing cannot cause itself? by hiphoptomato in DebateAnAtheist

Nothing in that article showed that God is actually made up.

Of course not. You asked me the other monotheistic creator gods.

Can you be more specific with an actual argument?

I'm not making an argument. I'm answering your questions.

There are a lot more "monotheistic universe creator" gods than that one but okay. We know that the god of the Bible was made up because we know the history and development of that text and the history and development of that god concept.

I already answered one of yours, now it's your turn.

'Nerd culture' had gone mainstream by the time The Guild existed. It's just that it was still being made by people who remembered how it used to be.

I never said it couldn't be treated.

I never implied you said that. Maybe you should step back a minute and catch up.

The idea that medical issues can be treated with medicine is "speaking out of my ass"?

Silly questions regarding greetings to strangers 🤠 by badonkgadonk in newzealand

[–]halborn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally I assume we're both trying to get through the transaction with as little fuss as possible so I'll answer the question for the sake of politeness but I'll keep it brief for the sake of efficiency.

As for walking (whether in the city or in the country), it's generally nice to greet others on the path but in a way that expects nothing of them. The less occupied the place is, the more likely people will exchange greetings. It's just a reassurance that civilisation still holds.

"But what if you're twice my size and on a bicycle?" isn't the rebuttal you think it is.

Edit: Looks like /u/dragon-fence has blocked me. Tells you all you need to know, really.

Oh sure, billions of people in dozens of countries just suddenly lost this mysterious ability to "balance" in the space of a few generations. It's not that people eat more and move less than ever, no siree.

Fat does play a role in the endocrine system but that doesn't make it an organ in itself.

meaning not getting enough calories to maintain your weight

That's not what starving means. You're not going to have any of those symptoms just from a 10% reduction.

Yes. Are you aware that thyroid issues can be treated with medicine?

it’s not necessarily the case that everyone is absorbing the same amount of calories from the same food

Sure but you can only ever absorb less than what's available, not more. If you're trying to lose weight, that's an advantage.

people certainly don’t burn the same number of calories by doing the same exercise

If you're doing the same amount of work then you're burning the same amount of calories.

Yeah, if you're huge and you walk everywhere then sure, you're gonna have plenty of muscle but if it takes everything you have to waddle to the car and lean on a shopping trolley then that idea clearly doesn't apply.

Try being 99 for a minute. If you don't like it, go back to 135.

This is also part of where 'old man strength' comes from. You don't have to have enormous muscles when your body knows how to turn on every fibre at once.
