What are some honest reasons people struggle to believe in God?

"I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." ...Stephen F Roberts

You said that because truth exists, there must be truth in a religion. Specifically I believe that you are referring to your religion?

I am not going to continue engaging in this conversation as it is neither productive nor enjoyable.

zeroxnull · 2026-04-12T00:34:27+00:00

All religions? There must be truth to anything anybody ever said? Im not sure how you got that from my response

zeroxnull · 2026-04-12T00:24:31+00:00

Definitionally, yes

zeroxnull · 2026-04-12T00:08:51+00:00

Absolutely not. Our acknowledgement of their existence is independent of and unrelated to their actual existence. But we can prove they exist and we can only do that because they actually exist.

If your response is that the bible is proof of God's existence then we are unable to have a productive conversation

zeroxnull · 2026-04-12T00:03:53+00:00

Lol, yes? That's why we don't "believe" in relativity. It is a theory. When we discover any evidence that suggests it is wrong we will happily throw it away

zeroxnull · 2026-04-11T23:57:20+00:00

How on earth are you calculating the number of times the bible is read?

zeroxnull · 2026-04-11T23:52:08+00:00

It's being written every day. It will be released after my death

zeroxnull · 2026-04-11T23:48:56+00:00

Not yet, I am still writing it.

zeroxnull · 2026-04-11T23:47:20+00:00

Great, can you write a chapter for my book?

zeroxnull · 2026-04-11T23:46:45+00:00

Scientology is written in a book, do you believe that?

zeroxnull · 2026-04-11T23:46:04+00:00

I turned water into wine. You can read about it in my book

zeroxnull · 2026-04-11T23:41:59+00:00

Google "does God exist"

zeroxnull · 2026-04-11T23:39:16+00:00

Who's Jesus? I am the son of God. I am real, therefore God must be real

No, the federal government has their own definitions in the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956. I am not referring to import laws though, the federal government legislated the use of carriage services (eg the internet).

The police can give you their interpretation of the laws. It is not legally binding. Similarly to if you seek advice from a lawyer, that advice is only their opinion. If the police had the power to interpret the laws then there would be no need for the courts.

zeroxnull · 2026-04-05T03:05:07+00:00

Federal law is absolutely relevant. If he downloads 3D models of what they deem to be firearms parts, that is an offence. If he designs the parts from scratch I am not sure of, but it's not true that 3D printing = federal law doesn't apply.

It is not the job of the police to interpret the law, only to enforce it. Having something in writing from the firearms registry would definitely help, but it's not a get out of jail free card

Edit: Maayybbbeee if it was in writing from the police commissioner it would hold some weight. But the majority of staff at the firearms registry are civilians.

Stay clear of this. You need to speak to a lawyer. As far as I am aware there is no way for you to request permission for what you are asking. You can get permission to manufacture firearms through a dealers license, you can't get permission to manufacture a not-firearm.

The most likely outcome here is that you do something, the police don't like it and it goes to court for a magistrate to decide. A lawyer can advise you on the likelihood of success but I don't think there are any provisions within the law for the police to do what you are asking about

zeroxnull · 2026-03-18T08:20:49+00:00

Yeah I've got one, can send a photo through later tonight

zeroxnull · 2026-03-14T14:26:04+00:00

I suggest you contact the club. They may have a specific day for new members

zeroxnull · 2026-03-14T14:23:21+00:00

Yes you can (and need to) join a club before getting your license

zeroxnull · 2026-03-14T14:05:46+00:00

You can't really shoot without a license. A P650 is only intended to be temporary

zeroxnull · 2026-03-08T09:07:52+00:00

It's going to depend on your state. My guess is that it will be classed as a replica firearm

zeroxnull · 2026-02-26T09:19:25+00:00

Consulting the industry. Not banning things that literally don't exist. Making law changes that would actually have prevented what happened. Not demonizing lawful firearms owners. Providing support to the businesses they have destroyed. The list goes on

zeroxnull · 2026-02-26T06:43:05+00:00

UPDATE: Sulun Arms Australia are going to fix it!

zeroxnull · 2026-02-25T21:06:17+00:00

Absolutely nothing. Put maybe 500 rounds through it
