This website/app is absolute shit now. It was always awful, now it's just unbearable. I read Youtube comments, and I'm on Bluesky. https://t.co/cQ5wX2QXG8

I now have an account on Bluesky. Search for NonStampCollector. I don't know if I'll do much there, but I'm sure not going to do anything here on this shitty awful site. I still enjoy responding to video comments so I'll likely respond on Bluesky, too. I hope to see you there.

Has it ever happened? What would it look like? Someone reasoning their way to a belief that the texts of the Bible are supernaturally inerrant. What kind of reasoning process would that involve? By looking at the contents, and... And then what? Squaring them with reality? What?

It's difficult to enunciate, but those who say the Bible is supernaturally inerrant are claiming the single most unlikely thing that could ever have happened in the history of human writing is just a basic default, and that any naturalistic doubts had better be 1000% watertight.

The parents of the youth killed by the bears that God sent in 2 Kings 2 probably had the same gratitude. I wonder who picked up all the bits of flesh and guts strewn around though. Or maybe they just left it all out for birds and ants and rodents.
A woman was mauled by a bear in a horrific tragedy, but her mother gives credit to God: "God is so good. He took her by nature...He took her where she was out doing what she loved and that gives us comfort." https://t.co/4tt4GKUsxC

If God can create the universe out of nothing, He can cause all people born on Tuesdays to have great big orange duck feet.
If God can create the universe out of nothing, He can resurrect Jesus from the dead.

"Free will" is apparently a good thing that God wanted us to have. The trade-off? Our capacity to rebel & lose fellowship with Him. Worth it, though, apparently. Otherwise we're mindless robots. But heaven will have no rebellion against God. Not possible. Heaven = being a robot.

Remember kids: the parts about a talking snake are literal, but the parts about forgiving debts are just a metaphor

Since Jesus rose from the dead, we can trust in the truth of his words with full confidence that anonymous authors writing decades later were accurate in their translations of his spoken Aramaic into written Greek. [Christian logic]

Do young Christians still wear those WWJD? wristbands to remind themselves to ask "What Would Jesus Do?" when choosing a course of action? I sure hope so. Coz one of the alternatives might be to model their behaviors on What Old-Testament God Would Do.

Questions for grown adults to ponder in 2023. I didn't bother to tap on the video because the content was never going to be as thought-provoking as the introduction sentence. Educated, literate adults discuss whether animals did or did not die before a certain human event.

Imagine how wise and powerful a deity would have to be to conceive of and create a universe into which it could temporarily insert billions of sentient beings and have 90% of them subsequently experience endless conscious suffering.

As an atheist, what moral standard should I appeal to if I want to assert that having a subjective moral standard for morality is better than having an objective one which posits that it's OK to murder members of your own family over their religious convictions? What a conundrum.

Are people really angered that they only get to see a limited amount of the sewage that flows through this app? "After you've been showered with 600 gallons of effluent we're shutting off the hose." "FUCK YOU ELON!!! I DEMAND UNLIMITED FECES!!!" Sounds like a deliverance to me.

@KeepToTheLight @DarkMatter2525 @RealAtheology It's always odd to see divorced people discussing marriage; it's something they cannot grasp.

@1pckt @PaulAguioTveit @MarketisJohn My explanation for the origin of the universe is the same as my explanation of who stole my wallet on a night out in 2005 and my explanation of Jack The Ripper's motivation for his prostitute-killing spree: I don't know. And I don't have to pretend to know.

Christianity: the belief that a god created a universe that would contain a mostly-inhospitable speck of dust upon which beings would involuntarily inhabit meat-bodies for a brief instant before He would subject them to eternal conscious suffering for not being as good as Him.

Hey check it out everyone! They're now admitting publicly that their thought process is completely irrational. "If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to wear purple trousers." "If Jesus rose from the dead, then every day should be called 'Wednesday'."
"If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn’t rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead” —Tim Keller

@Dash_023 I think that the suggestion that in a trillion trillion trillion years my children and I will find ourselves being tortured by a sprit obsessed with how back when there was a physical universe some men liked to insert their penis into another man's anus is very implausible.
