Wow! I did not hear about this!

It's interesting how often parallelisms occur in historical narratives also. Not just in poetry.

Yeah but I don't believe Genesis was meant to be persuasive or a polemic, as people often say. It is just truth.

:D😅😂 Wooaaah..wait a second Doser. Are you saying we shouldn't trust the government?? Hahahaha, no way! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I'll try to recap a couple key points that are relevant to the OP, and summarize how this thread evolved from there. First of all, analogous means "similar or comparable to in some way". I'll give you two reasons I view the physical realm as being analogous to a simulated reality, according...

Hedging your bet, I see... Imagine the following dialogue between @ttruscott the retard and a new mother. Mother: "I love my baby! Isn't he precious? Would you like to hold him, ttruscott?" Ttruscott the Retard: "Sure. Hey by the way, did you know your baby may have been sown by the Evil...

@Idolater Here's a pic of me and him from earlier this summer when he was in town. And another he took of me and another buddy when he took us all out for my birthday last year. He had a Soviet military costume I wore the whole night. We were probably very lucky none of us got arrested on that...

😅

Do you want to fight me? :mad: 👊💥

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...
