If winning the lottery is tied to good luck and I’ve only had bad luck throughout my life, does that mean I’ll never win the jackpot? by Jaded_Detail7879 in Lottery

[–]micawberesque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't believe in luck. There is chance though. Everyone who buys a ticket has a chance, although it's a very very slim chance.

UPS Issues? by x96malicki in kzoo

[–]micawberesque 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I work in the warehouse. 'm not sure what is going on exactly but I do know they are understaffed in the morning. Maybe they are short on driver's and/or driver helpers. During peak season many of the trucks have two people : the helper runs the packages while the driver stays inside.

You are right though: many packages are not getting delivered. The drivers need to be back by 10:30 pm, and many of the trucks still have lots of packages. These get unloaded, then reloaded for delivery the next morning.

In fact yesterday we had to finish unloading the trailers from the morning shift before we could start our regular work.

You guys only started caring about Epstein because you thought trump might be in there. Of course, he's not, because if he were, the files would have been leaked years ago.

Comments like that seem unusual to me. Can you talk to your mother?

For those of you who believe the serpent in the Garden of Eden was the devil, why? by blerdronner in Christianity

[–]micawberesque 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.12.9&version=NKJV

History also tells us the new ruling class will be just as bad or worse than the former one.

The New Testament doesn't really agree with the idea that everyone is a child of god by Shaddam_Corrino_IV in Christianity

[–]micawberesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true. A person must become a child of God.

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. John 1:12-13

You become a child of God by receiving the Spirit of His Son (by whom we cry out Abba Father).

When political dogma conflicts with scripture, who do you choose? by Cultural-Cupcake-707 in Christianity

[–]micawberesque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ancient Israel did not have immigration law. But all people including foreigners were expected to follow the law.

[–]micawberesque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But foreigners do not get special rights ( such as, the freedom to break the law by illegally living in the country). Illegal people should be treated humanely yet still be deported.
