They're failing financially and they have their business based on beliefs that they can't defend with honesty. Of course they couldn't handle someone like him on their ship that would sink the moment it was put to sea.
I'll only answer the AAI part.
It gets more interesting when you're an atheist for decades and then turn theist which is unlike the religions near you.
It only really applies to those who believe things because they have been trained to.
Sounds like an insult that doesn't serve any purpose...
Simple machines out of biomolecules? It's a start, perhaps we'll have breathing air conditioners instead of plants in office buildings in a few decades. ;)
I agree that lots of it in the OT is either something that is a no-brainer or bad as often interpreted. The highlights are in the NT and quoted as something Jesus says.
I'm not a Biblist and I do not advocate that it should be the only ethical guidance one can have, such a view would be very...
Nationalism gets a lot of unneeded bad press along with deserved criticism across the globe. Locally, many see that with the EU we're not appreciating our own culture as much as we used to, both good and bad are thrown out. Many reactionaries get a start out of something we're supposed to give...
There's always room for interpretation, keep in mind there's no way to actually lie as a male with a male as with a woman.
That aside, everyone has their own take on whether some things in the Bible are worth it or not. I think in Europe at least a lot of Christians are educated into Biblical...
Sorry to hear that. It was a long time ago, but I've been there. Stay strong and don't do anything you would regret. See if you can or want to salvage something from this.
It's a bit curious perhaps, since it's a win for both left and nationalists. The nationalists are also quite close to center (although media both home and abroad calls them "far right"), some of them are also left-leaning unlike many nationalists... so except a more left-leaning gov't than we...
That's normal because mostly EU is right-wing dominated...
Nationalists did see a large rise (not seen from the +1, because they were in trouble a couple of years ago), because the media was so biased against them that even a blind man saw it. They also got a boost from a number of scandals...
That's why I strongly dislike the one-party and two-party systems, they end up conformist and often if the two parties both hold an insane idea any voice of reason will not be heard.
I think we should have a bit less seats.
I think that having more than a 1,000 seats might not be workable...
