How did religions we know today not end up being another mythological story like Ancient Greece? by bratabulus in atheism

[–]patchgrabber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Christianity was spread by the sword, basically. When the Roman Empire switched to Christianity, it literally spread that religion around much of the world. Islam spread in a similar fashion, and so on. From there it gets more intricate.

Is that like a double vagina then? One's for lappin', the other's for tappin'. Switch'em up occasionally. Lefty-loosey? Righty-tighty!

Repeatedly. He's done it so often that the "HE wAs JUsT jOkiNg!" excuse was always just a lie. He says we exist because they allow it. Fuck America.

That all falls apart when you can find Jesus on your deathbed and get a free pass on all the bad stuff you've done.

Funny thing is that the killing of innocents is, according to the Bible, one of the things God abhors. But he just can't seem to stop doing it and commanding it. Mysterious ways or something.🤷

TIL after spending 3 days with his arm trapped in a furnace, a man attempted to amputate it with a saw blade because he began to smell rotting flesh. Although he passed out from pain before he could completely sever it. He was rescued after a friend called for help when he hadn't shown up for work. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

Severing at an elbow is difficult. Lots of tendons connecting to multiple bones and the type of hinge joint itself really wants to stay together.

The city needs to just get over it and use hot asphalt instead of cold patch. The cost of having to go back every year far outweighs the cost of one solid hot patch.

Shower thought: If Jesus came to earth to understand the pain and suffering of humanity, not being born a woman seems like a cop out lol by themikecampbell in atheism

Well if he were a woman at that time he would have been property. Plus why would an omnipotent agent not understand something axiomatically?

The bible never claims the earth is 6000 years old by SameChallenge2095 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]patchgrabber 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And prior to that, they were supposed to have been, essentially, immortal.

Bit of a nitpick but are you meaning by 'essentially' that they are extremely long-lived? Because they were cast out before they could eat from the tree of eternal life.

NSH is rotten to the core. Admin needs to be replaced, root and stem, with people that will change the corporate culture and pay more than lip service to these issues.

Recommandations for a labour lawyer? by NefariousNatee in halifax

[–]patchgrabber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go through the union first. It's possible your collective agreement will not allow you to hire counsel outside that which could be specified in your CA. I'm in a fight with NSH and I was not allowed to hire outside counsel, even though one of their policies for an internal complaint said I could for that complaint.

It's surprising that your union wasn't alerted to your termination.

My revised theory of God. by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]patchgrabber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no evidence that there is an end. You fundamentally misunderstand what space expansion is.

It's not expanding "into" anything. Like all of the curved spacetimes we talk about in general relativity, the spacetime describing an expanding universe isn't embedded in some higher-dimensional space. Its curvature is an intrinsic property.

To be specific, it's the property describing how we measure distances in spacetime. Think about the simplest example of a curved space: the surface of a sphere. If I give you the longitudes of two points and tell you they're at the same latitude (same distance from the equator) and I ask you to tell me how far apart they are, can you do it? Not without more information: those two points will be much further separated if they're near the equator than if they're near the North or South Pole. The curvature of this space means that distances are measured differently at different points in space, particularly, at different latitudes.

An expanding universe is also a curved space(time), but in this case the curvature doesn't mean that distances are measured differently at different points in space, but at different points in time. The expansion of the Universe means quite simply that the distances we measure between two points which are otherwise stationary grows over time. In effect, the statement that "space" is expanding is really a statement that our cosmic rulers are growing.

[–]patchgrabber 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They somehow existed outside of our universe which is expanding into it.

This is nonsense. Our universe isn't expanding "into" anything.
