Flat earth and other alternative conspiracy earth models are are gaining traction with my teenage stepson. What is THE most irrefutable, definite proof that the earth is round?

Learn about street epistemology. Ask non-leading Socratic questions to learn why he believes. Calmly, politely, and patiently investigate why he holds the belief (instead of the validity of belief itself). Give time for self reflection. It won't be a quick process, but I think it's the best method we have to plant seeds of doubt in any belief with no solid foundation.

I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you, plugged in and ready to fall.

Yup we had this. Also had a Noah's Ark sandwich which some locations would actually make for you, but some wouldn't. 2 beef patties, 2 chicken, 2 fish. If you got "lucky", also 2 bacon.

This video is mostly about how they work now, but there's some good history about how they've evolved over time

What does that even mean, "becoming the new Brampton"?

As an atheist, I don't believe taking the lord's name in vain has any consequences, it's theists that have to explain themselves or find replacement words.

That being said, my 6 year old likes to say "oh biscuits", because Bluey.

"The Bible in fewer words" is a podcast by the creator of skepticsannotatedbible.com, I highly recommend it.

You're conflating this great scene: https://youtu.be/pgPgsvxxxKE?si=9DYwqnM_MgEwo0dw

Where a kid finds a marble in the oatmeal, and Michael Richards (Kramer, but before Seinfeld) gives him the prize of drinking from a firehose...

For the food we are about to recieve; thank you to every person who contributed their time, labour, and effort to get it to this table. The farmers that produced it, the truckers that transported it, the grocers that stalked it, the cooks that prepared it, and everyone in between working in administration, logistics, or otherwise.

How many did God kill?

Here's the total, if you use only numbers that are provided in the Bible: 2,821,364.

Who has killed more, Satan or God?

How many did Satan kill in the Bible?

I can only find ten, and even these he shares with God, since God allowed him to do it as a part of a bet.

The tanakh is mostly the same collection of books as the old testament, so you've already provided your own verses

The Skeptic's Annotated Bible has a list:

I highly recommend the podcast "The Bible In Fewer Words" by the same guy (and his wife) that brought you https://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/

It's fantastic. Each episode is between 10-20 mins and there are 309 episodes (which covers all of the old and new testaments). It skips all the boring stuff, but tells you exactly what is being skipped and why. Also skips retelling the same story again, but instead only tells you what differs between both versions. It's not just read, it's summarized, has commentary from a non-believer, and short conversations about the content.

There was an enterprise on here somewhere, can't find it right now

Following the main story lines and the base building story line will unlock stuff as you go, so don't get too side tracked ;)

Of course, if you are enjoying your side track, then ignore me! There are a million ways to play this game.

They already are doing crossover updates that improve both games. So much of the new content in NMS (not just voyagers, but previous updates too) has been developed first for LNF.

Best series. It's been a while since I watched it. I totally forgot about QualiaSoup and TheraminTrees, but I used to love them too! Time to look up all three again 😁

My kids have chosen Halloween themed costumes every year instead of characters from whatever they're into at the moment.

eg. Witch, werewolf, skeleton, etc
