    contact with a supernatural being?

    No, I know I'm speaking to a person because I have seen tens of thousands of people over the course of my lifetime and can see them, touch them, and confirm through others that they can see and touch them. Ditto for a fork or a tree.

    Progressive Losses Despite Biden's Win

    It was no surprise that Democrats voted en masse, but I did expect more Republicans to desert Trump. Not the party, mind you, just Trump.

    Beyond this election :) - a letter for all the people who haven't liked my posts

    I am not in any way religious, but you are closer to Biblical standards on this question than other Christians, to be sure. The Bible specifically says that your god places ALL leaders on the seat of power. This means to resist the election of any president, or even the ascendency of any...

    Today's problems

    I don't know the number, but there is more than one with differing numbers of stories in them, and then there are multiple translations of each.

    Quran and New Testament, are they the same in authorship, manuscript evidence, textual reliability?

    I would think different people wrote all of the individual stories compiled into the Bible and at least one different individual wrote the Quran. Sound evidence to the contrary is invited.

    No conflict between God and science

    Yes, not all Christians are creationists. They either ignore, or "interpret" what they read to fit any new thing confirmed by science and ignore the fact that the writers could not possibly have believed what the interpreter believes.

    Does it really matter what people believe?

    It very much matters in many cases, as beliefs inform actions. Do I care if someone believes Brussel's sprouts taste good? No. do I care if someone believes anyone who doesn't believe in their particular god should be killed? Yes.

    Atheisms and the supernatural

    You read something that is not accurate. Atheism CAN be the belief that there is not god (supernatural beings in general are another question not covered by atheism)but is is most often a lack of belief in a god. It is a rejection of a claim due to unconvincing evidence.

    94.5%!!!

    I think that the company actually said 94.5% efficacy, not effectiveness. they are different things. Efficacy is effectiveness under tightly controlled conditions and ideal circumstances. Effectiveness is how it does out in the real world. But I quibble.....it is certainly good news.

    Immunity or not to immunity?

    Seems we have continued to politicize and bicker instead of coming together and tamping it down. A fair share of the population believes that their right to not wear a mask trumps (pun intended) other's right to protection from a disease that is sickening and killing people at the rate of over...

    Do you think that Donald Trump is a Christian?

    I'm a body....just not somebody.

    Do Santa, Christmas Trees etc. Bother You?

    To be clear, even as an atheist, I enjoy the holidays and am not dismissing them.I simply do not attach religious connotations to them.

    contact with a supernatural being?

    I would call them mistaken. How did you determine that you were speaking with an entity of any kind in the first place, much less that they were a demon?

    Does it really matter what people believe?

    You might have an argument if 1) we could be sure we actually know what Jesus said, and not what some one else says he said and (2 everything Jesus is purported to have said is actually good advice.

    Why is your Religion better than Shinto?

    I prefer secular humanism. I do not believe either religious dogma or a single individuals "heart" is sufficient to work out the overarching concept of morality.

    making a living from a message?

    If people think something is of value to them, they will pay for it. The churches learned that long ago. A fool and his money will soon be parted.

    Christians Only: A Third Testament?

    How would you go about verifying that this is true?

    Do Santa, Christmas Trees etc. Bother You?

    Those meanings may have been assigned by Christians after the fact, but the items were all incorporate from other belief systems.

    Immunity or not to immunity?

    Sorry for the delay. Yes, the virus will likely never be eliminated. It is very likely to remain active in the human population indefinitely.
