    Climate change denial

    BLASHPEMER! [sarcasm] Don't fool yourself. It's always about you. No matter the subject. It's never about the subject. It's always ideology. A class struggle where world views are either united or divided. Take up thy soap box and talk. That's the game. Fun stuff. Bad stuff. Powerful stuff...

    Climate change denial

    Well, I, uh . . . don't know what to say to that. I knew beforehand that you would have something to say about Peterson. They always do. But as far as Britain being jammed I would suggest, maybe, uh, move to Canada? Texas? ;)

    Climate change denial

    Nonsense. You believe this? You honestly believe that we are more destructive than nature itself? C'mon. We could fit every living human being in the state of Texas with 100 square meters per person. About the size of a large room. How much room do you need? The planet will be fine, it's only...

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    That's cool, then you won't be terribly concerned with my taking your criticism mutually. :p

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    Sorry. The WEB. I didn't explain that in my post but I did on my old website where the first translation was published. You may be taking this a bit too seriously. I'm just having fun. I just translated it to see what would happen. I'm not telling anyone I'm a Bible translator. This is just a...

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    Okay. Why? What does the OP have to do with how I translated Genesis 1:1 as "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Because I have to tell you, I'm not the first. Just tell me what your favorite translation reads, how you would translate it and why.

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    See Spot run. Run Spot run. See what I did there? Probably should have put that in parenthesis? So, let me ask you some questions. That's what I do. I'm a "researcher." Are you familiar with Jimi Hendrix? Generally, he is regarded as the greatest guitarist ever. I've heard classically...

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    Why would I have translated anything as that when translating to English?

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    חשבתי שכבר עשינו את זה. שהסברתי לך את זה. תרגמתי אנגלית ארכאית לאנגלית מודרנית. חקרתי את העברית העתיקה מילה אחר מילה כדי לתת לי מושג גס על המקור אבל לרוב אני משווה את המקור הכי טוב שאני יכול עם כמה שיותר תרגומים לאנגלית כדי לראות מה אני מגיע עם. אני לא יכול לקרוא לך את התגובה הזו, אבל אני...

    Why Jews and Christians do not accept Islam?

    Honestly, I think that Islam and Mormonism were, respectively, an aberration and addition to the Biblical teachings. With Islam the sociopolitical protestation of Muhammad, and with Mormonism the, well, sort of delusional cultural appropriation of Joseph Smith. The infiltration of pagan...

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    Introduction As brief and painless as possible I would like to explain. I've translated Genesis chapter one before, with a slightly different modern perspective, an attempt to avoid iconic religious language, but with footnotes, formatting, annotations and reference scriptures I've only gotten...

    What do you think is the most beautiful of machines?

    Beauty in machinery to me is meticulous attention to detail. Some examples below. Often the details can even be unappealing to me, some of the color schemes in Rolls Royce, for example, and some of the excess in luxury motorhome paintjobs, but I still appreciate the attention to detail. If the...

    Prospective President Kamala Harris

    When that sort of thing happens, I just highlight all of the text, making it white on a blue background. Much easier to see.

    How can God have a son while he has no companion.

    They're pretty much the same in meaning. Not surprising since Hebrew and Arabic are both Semitic. Muhammad, Jesus and Adam were messengers mentioned in the Quran. So, in that regard they are the same in the Bible and Quran. The difference, as presented in your quote above is that not all angels...

    How can God have a son while he has no companion.

    The question was intended to establish a premise regarding sons and daughters rather than divinity. I don't perceive a conflict as God being the absolute being, but rather see a possible misogynistic inclination. What surprises me about this is that you say daughters are more likely angels...

    How can God have a son while he has no companion.

    Is the Quran divinely inspired? Is the Bible? Perhaps more accurately than are they perceived as such but rather do they make that claim? If both then they would agree. This brings to my mind two questions. Is Jehovah Allah? And again, in what sense are sons and daughters contextually? In the...

    How can God have a son while he has no companion.

    Okay, is anything equal to God? If no why would his son be? Do we define the son as being the offspring of or equal to? What relationship does the possible metaphoric son have contextually? The angels, are they not sons of God? They are not equal to God since nothing is. So why assume the son...

    How can God have a son while he has no companion.

    This sounds to me like you aren't interpreting the data to come to the right conclusion, but rather trying to limit the data to reflect the conclusion you want. Really, then, what you do is specify how an alleged father and an alleged son are defined. God can't be limited and therefore can't...

    How can God have a son while he has no companion.

    Are we not with him? Are we not sons of God?
