I can't see oxygen either but I wouldn't want to depend on a supernatural source for it. There never was any actual Jesus Christ, but eventually we will see quarks and be able to prove their existence - what a dumb thing for any student to actually say, let alone a college student who should know better.
There is currently a very funny, kind of sad dust-up over Helldivers 2, in which self-proclaimed “anti-woke” gamers have previously heralded it as a rare game where they believe “politics” does not play a factor. Their faith was been shaken by an Arrowhead community manager they believed they found to be (gasp)...
I wouldn't play this game because of my very "woke" anti gun and anti-war sentiments. I think whenever I see a game ad with someone holding a gun, what a sad thing that the video game industry has evolved into - everyone has to use a gun to solve their problems or get "points" in life. Pretty disturbing when you see how young males are groomed to be gun lovers. And really, it's the worst possible sort of image to be feeding them.
Amen to that. You should see how huge and austere the Mormon temples are - everything is sterile and white, big empty marble halls and white with no color or plants or anything. And everyday more news stories about new temples opening across the world. SIGH. If that's what they imagine heaven to be - a bastion of sterile whiteness - I'll gladly stay in hell and at least enjoy the vivid colors!
two verdicts from watching the boy and the heron:
watching it on a big screen makes me realise theres a separate art style for their backgrounds and their foregrounds, which gives it an effect similar to the old cinema way of making miniatures and compositing your actors over the top, its really cool

It’s easy to roll one’s eyes as the self-serving dramatics of MAGA voters using false claims of victimhood as cover for their ugly views.

No one with any self worth or dignity should try to live their life by what the "bible" says. No real human could, and it is totally full of contradictions and hypocrisy at every turn.
The bible. PHHBBLlllpptt. I'd sooner use the Anarchists Cookbook as a guide to how to lead my life. People who say they follow the guidelines of the bible are liars, because nobody could follow all the commands in the bible and still exist, it's impossible. We're not saints or angels and we were never meant to be.
We're the rough smut of beasts, as Walt Whitman put it. We're human animals and we shouldn't pretend to anything more, we need to start helping each other and realizing we're in this mess together and no fictional supernatural being is going to come to our rescue or provide us any sort of comfort.
A Filipino villager has been nailed to a wooden cross for the 35th time to reenact Jesus Christ’s suffering in a brutal Good Friday tradition he said he would devote to pray for peace in Ukraine, Gaza and the disputed South China Sea....
Well it's sort of like Mohammed - I'm sure that a person with that name DID exist around that time at some point. And maybe they were a teacher and a self-proclaimed "speaker for god." But so was Charles Manson and David Koresh and Jim Jones and Joseph Smith and many other horrible cult leaders.
There never has been any "god" in the way we mean it, so there could never actually be such a thing as the son of God, nor any need for one. If we were smart as a species, we'd see why it's more important to support human beings than go around believing in religious nut jobbery.
What a sick idea that we should celebrate a human being nailed to a cross, yuck. Another example of how religious beliefs are grotesque in the extreme and I'd rather believe in humanity instead of some supernatural shit like this.
There was no such person as Jesus and there never has been and there never as any such thing as "god" either. Stop being ignorant blind fools, people. Leave your shackles of religious nut-jobbery behind, go out and enjoy life and have some fun. Turn this "good Friday" into a GREAT Friday.
Ugh not me. I've been through the SLC temple and it's one horrifyingly bland white cold interior throughout. If that's what mormons see as their 'destiny' in the afterlife, I'm kinda glad I'll be roasting in hell instead. To me that kind of austerity doesn't smack of godliness, it smacks of sterility and coldhearted lifelessness.
Donald Trump has repeatedly shown that he can reasonably be described as evil. Yet, white “Christian” evangelicals are among his most loyal, stalwart, and enthusiastic supporters. Moreover, when his behavior and character are evaluated relative to the Christian mythological framework, Trump is actually much closer to being...
Many times I've explained to people that trump actually IS the anti-christ as described in the bible; hugely appealing to the gullible and the corrupt, able to build armies of immoral and indecent sycophants, proclaiming to be the "messiah of God." All of these and more point to his actually being the actual anti-christ in every possible way.
But hey, go ahead and re-elect him to office and watch how your own fortunes burn to a cinder as a result. It's the very people that are mentally ill enough to re-elect him that will the first to dragged into eternal hell by him.
That's probably because I tend to overstate things, but I'm actually being serious about loving the "carnivore" side of life. I'm not trying to raise any false flags - no sarcasm was intended in my statements at all.
Well we had partly cloudy skies Monday, but actually it cleared in time for the eclipse, but in Utah we only got to see about 45% of it, we weren't anywhere near the path of totality. The sunlight did seem cloudier (or shadier?) for a few minutes, but that was about it....
Every time there's a solar eclipse, a blood moon, a super moon, or any other astronomical phenomenon, we never can see it here in Utah, it's always far too cloudy and too overcast to see anything. Same with this Monday's eclipse, though even if we could, we only would see a portion of it anyway.
“I’ve been told that I need to stop this eclipse and I do not have the authority to do that. So yes, people are really concerned. But we’re just trying to prepare them.”
Having seen a solar eclipse back in 2017, I can say it was truly an spectacle. But I don't see traveling anywhere just to see another one - I mean it's interesting, but it lasts maybe two minutes and then it's over and back to normal. And I don't see spending all that money when you can get the best view of it watching news coverage on TV.
Well I'm sure it wasn't Israel's fault, he probably got in the way of their bullets. Of course killing humans at Easter is what the Jewish state is best at, so we should shove our easter eggs up our butt and thank jesus for this wonderful world of bloodshed and murder that israel helps make happen.
Imagine how much more costly it is to raise a child with genetic and other health disorders because the state won't let you abort the fetus once those abnormalities are detected.
