ironic that a lot of the people in charge are orthodox in israel now doh

@Amadeus I thought the Ultra orthodoxy had the most privileges in Israel, so that video wasn't kinda what I expected 🤔

that's why i said what i said

There are many kinds of Ultra-Orthodox people

I think they were exempt from the draft too

San Fran literally days away from bubonic plague outbreak

Like the curse God placed on Egypt

California has to let all the right wingers out. Let my people go.

Then they will pursue them and the alt right will annihilate them and dump the Gulf of California on them

Finally they will wander in the desert and then settle in Mexico, kill all of the inhabitants, and form their own nation

Also National socialist germany taxed you to death and also killed people with disabilities <:smugpepe:445634631950139403>

More like Prager Jew

literally why atheism is the worst notion man ever conceived. it provides for no moral code, thus it treats man as a means to an end, and by extension dehumanizes them so a few disappearing isn't a big deal to them.

why is communism really appealing to people? because if there is no absolute moral standard then it leaves people free to act how they please, regardless of how morally abhorrent it might be. I'm not just talking about the bigger things, I'm talking about stealing not being a big deal, or greed not having an impact on your active conscience, or rather not being burdened by the though that what one is doing is wrong. The irony is that in this totalitarian system (as communism eventually regresses to), the little sins you make end up costing you your livelihood or worse, your life. exactly what happens if you live rejecting god.

Communists want free shit basically

Stealing it from someone means free to them

Jealous because someone else has more instead of being content with their lives

Obama actually said it, "the rich means anyone who has more than someone else"

it's more than that ragnarok, it boils down to them wanting being free from consequences, either of lifestyle choices, or freedom from that nagging feeling in the back of everyone's head that if you do something wrong your conscience will tell you.

it's actually ironic that atheism in this sense, in promising free will, takes it away from you

That's why people choose atheism, but not necessarily communism

there are no religious communists

Atheism is freedom from consequences. You die and you're dead, no God to punish you

if you find one, i'll be surprised

There are atheists who are not communist

That's the group I was referring to

In the early days of communism in China the Christians tended to side more with the communists than the nationalists. Of course neither were capitalist, but the KMT tended to be run more by rich bureaucrats

Because in the beginning they didn't present themselves as an anti-Christian movement like the Russians did

which is another way of saying they didn't actually know better

They didn't, they were just desperate

A lot of them weren't truly commies, they were just truly hungry

But they are a special and abnormal case

perhaps. I doubt there were many, if any genuine christians in the communist leadership in china though

In leadership definitely not

as we know, Christians aren't unique in putting their chips in the right place all the time. We do seem more common though, when it comes to promptly admitting our faults and asking for forgiveness. I'm just ranting about atheism this early because I'm reading some of Lee Strobel's works.

Lot of stuff I didn't know before reading them, like far more than I thought I knew

the biggest bit was that Science cannot provide a single proof for the origin of life. Microevolution, yes, but not the idea that we all have a common ancestor.

Who is he?

Lee Strobel is an american author and former atheist who wrote a book examining the proof for Christ as a lawyer would

"The case for Christ"

he examined almost every facet you could from medical scholars to archeologists to several people with doctorates in New and Old Testament study to come to the conclusion that Jesus is the Unique Son of God.

My theory of evolution is that the genetic code for variations was already present in each species created.

And the offspring varied like a random roll of dice, with some inheriting some genes, others getting other genes

Not quite microevolution. Not an actual change.

Maybe some types survived in some places because of natural selection (others died out), or because animals inhering certain features chose to migrate to favorable places.

Or maybe they migrated somewhere and God chose in some way for their offspring to manifest certain traits that had been dormant genes before

Supernatural selection

there isn't enough time for what you're suggesting. Think of this. Life more or less came into being only 540-60 million years ago, and almost all of the animal Phyla came fully formed, meaning some with the traits they would hold for millions of years. this in itself is another miracle, but the bigger miracle is that life arose in the first place. no biologist can solve the most fundamental problem of evolution, that being the ultimate origin of life, because they are incapable of solving the assembly problem.

I don't believe in the old earth model

the idea that the earth is billions of years old?

Yeah

Bible has a pretty clear timeline. Yesterday/last night we discussed this in depth in the religion channel

then why would god create radioactive decay rates and then make them unique to each element?

I don't see you around here often, or ever I think, but you should definitely join in on some of our discussions

I would love to.

Radioactive decay can be affected by a lot of things

You gotta have a baseline to determine when it started to decay

I believe the Flood could have been a major event to affect this

true enough, but then how would one explain away the Radioactive cosmic background? the flood wouldn't be a good explanation for that

Of course I could be wrong about young earth but, when God said days, he said days. The same word used elsewhere in the OT, especially with "evening and morning" always meant one day, 24 hours.

you can't read the bible literally in this sense, just like you can't read it literally in the sense of Daniel 9:24-26

There's no reason to think that part was anything but literal. Else evening and morning, and the creation of celestial bodies to help us determine time of day, seems like pointless writing on behalf of Moses

Daniel 9:24-26 refers to sevens which translated from the original hebrew meant weeks, and yet the prophecy concerning in this chapter say at what time in history the Messiah would appear, and when one does the calculation properly, it matches up within a year of christ's birth and death

the book of daniel is set approximately 490 years before christ's death

which is exactly what is predicted in the book through the prophesy of daniel.

But he is, of course, a prophet

The creation isn't about prophecy, it's about history. It was written after the events it refers to, while Daniel is written before the events it refers to

and we also need to understand that the writers of the old testament were not secretaries of the holy spirit. Genesis got the order of creation exactly right, but the timeframe of how fast or slow is off.

And of course the context in which that Hebrew word "yom" is used, I'm inclined to take it literally when it says evening and morning

Remember days were measured from sunset to sunset

well, let me put it another way. we have never uncovered a fossil of any kind of human that appears in the same strata of rock as say, a dinosaur, yet genesis would tell me that at one point mankind and dinosaurs walked the earth at the same time. also, based on the dimensions specified in Genesis concerning the Ark, and that god commands that a pair of each and every living creature on earth be put inside, it is literally impossible to fit that many creatures in the same confined space for almost 8 months without warping spacetime inside the ark to make the interior far larger than it actually is.

Then maybe a lot of them were dead?

Maybe there was not as much genetic diversity and so instead of a thousand kinds of dogs/wolves, there was just two or three

by that logic then there would be far less diversity than we see on the planet

case and point the different types of finches on the galapagos.

We think of a world covered in dinosaurs but in reality we haven't actually found that many fossils

Job 40:15-19

We've got ancient drawings of them

going back to one of my older points, the flood would have done nothing to distort our detection of the radiological cosmic background, and most physicist will tell you that that is an adequate means of measuring the age of the universe

Mankind has a lot of creativity but I don't see them inventing a monster in their heads that turns out to be real 5000 years later but predating the artist by 500 million years

65-150 million years to be precise. if it were only 5000 years old, and remember that Job is after genesis, then they would be still around.

maybe not where Job was, but they would have been referenced by many more cultures than just the Hebrew, especially since Job takes place after the events of Solomon (about 870-830BC)

Most Biblical scholars put Job as the oldest book

Job cannot be older than Genesis, otherwise job would be first in the bible, and from what I know Job was first written between the 7th and 4th century BC

The physical writing, not the event obviously

Job 22:16 references the flood. So we know it's after Noah
