For real! 😂

I don't understand how there can be Christians that are as dumb you are. You need to tell us how this happened to you.

I used to listen to a lot of metal. Still do every once in a while. There were so many cool bands from the early 80s. Seems many of them only did 1 or 2 albums then you never really heard from them again. Cirith Ungol did reunite not too long ago. Nothing like they used to be though. I'd...

Perhaps not necessarily . I think that there is process that begins when one saved. But, this process doesn't seem to always be the same for everyone. Some people's lives change right away after being saved and others do not. I would expect that, if one was saved, then he will eventually feel...

Yeah, that's interesting. I am not sure how all this works exactly. I know it quite a bit different from the US though. Here in Germany, you actually have to declare a religion on your tax forms and then the government takes a part of your income and ,I think, then gives it to that church. And...

Look @Clete, I put scare-quotes around "simulated environment" in #8 now, because you were too dull to figure it out on your own. I specifically used the term analogous in my title so I wouldn't have do that, but I'm always willing to go the extra mile when my brothers are being extra dull...

Germany's social welfare system has been shrinking steadily over the years. Back in the 80's/90's, Germans could go to university for free here. They can't do that anymore. I hear they will be lessening unemployment benefits next year, for some reason. Atm Unemployment works and pays about the...

I know. I should be ashamed of myself. We were talking about things that push the boundaries of human understanding. I'm sorry I used the wrong word 10 weeks ago or whatever it was. You are sorta a Johnny-come-lately to this thread, bud. I think it's been pretty much cashed out.

I think you mean post #8, but anyway I guess not many people here on TOL think of it like this. I'm a bit surprised.

It's good music to listen to if you want to race yourself 100mph down some back country road at night and drive yourself a cliff. That's about it. You could try opera. Dovlet is pretty good but I'm not sure how often he's in the US. Meet him just by chance years ago. Still gives me a call about...

Analogous just means that it's similar or comparable to in some way. It does not mean "same as" or identical to.

Here's a nice song about the place @ttruscott believes babies go to when they die. ❤️ Existing on damnation's edge The priest had never known To witness such a violent show Of power overthrown! Angels fighting aimlessly Still dying by the sword Our legions killing all in sight To get the one...

Matt 25:45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me." Woah! Slow your roll there, hot-dog! Your whole "Some babies must go to hell" thing, does not exist in orthodoxy. It only exists in your reinterpretation. In other...

Well done! I think what you are saying here is actually a bit more accurate and correct than how I've explained it. . I would 100% agree that they distract us, yes. I would argue that they also limit us, but after thinking about it, I guess that sorta depends on ones perspective. Certainly...

So that is a "Yes", correct?
