Oh, sorry, I thought the topic was about Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan.
Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan's appearance on Fox News has sparked comparisons to cartoon characters Beavis and Butt-Head, from the TV show of the same name.
The U.S. representatives for Florida and Ohio, respectively, have been compared to the teenaged delinquents by Twitter users, who have even taken to editing Beavis' hair and Butt-Head's shirt onto the politicians.

Well, that is actually what God says. According to the bible, a fetus is not a living person with a soul until after drawing its first breath.
After God formed man in Genesis 2:7, He “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and it was then that the man became a living being”. Although the man was fully formed by God in all respects, he was not a living being until after taking his first breath.

Three corners, all-seeing eye in the middle.
God is the illuminati leader whom is also the devil.
OT God becomes Satan.
Lucifer becomes Jesus, not Satan yet he is Satan via Trinity.
Holy Ghost becomes Allah.
This is how and why there were three iterations. It explains every plothole including the problem of evil since the god has three personalities.
A very interesting thesis.

The latest available figures from 2020, says there were 930,160 abortions nationwide, up from 916,460 in 2019. Where will these babies be going when they are not aborted? Foster Care?
Created:

Every year there are about 1.3 million abortions. On any given day, there are nearly 428,000 children in foster care in the United States.
About 135,000 children are adopted in the United States each year. Wow, there are going to be a lot more kids in Foster Care thanks to the Supreme Court.

From Wikipedia:
The argument from poor design, also known as the dysteleological argument, is an argument against the assumption of the existence of a creator God, based on the reasoning that any omnipotent and omnibenevolent deity or deities would not create (say) organisms with the perceived suboptimal designs that occur in nature.
The argument is structured as a basic modus ponens: if "creation" contains many defects, then design appears an implausible theory for the origin of earthly existence. Proponents most commonly use the argument in a weaker way, however: not with the aim of disproving the existence of God, but rather as a reductio ad absurdum of the well-known argument from design (which suggests that living things appear too well-designed to have originated by chance, and so an intelligent God or gods must have deliberately created them).
Although the phrase "argument from poor design" has seen little use, this type of argument has been advanced many times using words and phrases such as "poor design", "suboptimal design", "unintelligent design" or "dysteleology/dysteleological". The nineteenth-century biologist Ernst Haeckel applied the term "dysteleology" to the implications of organs so rudimentary as to be useless to the life of an organism. In his 1868 book Natürliche Schöpfungsgeschichte (The History of Creation), Haeckel devoted most of a chapter to the argument, ending with the proposition (perhaps with tongue slightly in cheek) of "a theory of the unsuitability of parts in organisms, as a counter-hypothesis to the old popular doctrine of the suitability of parts". In 2005 Donald Wise of the University of Massachusetts Amherst popularised the term "incompetent design" (a play on "intelligent design"), to describe aspects of nature seen as flawed in design.
Traditional Christian theological responses generally posit that God constructed a perfect universe but that humanity's misuse of its free will to rebel against God has resulted in the corruption of divine good design.

Wasn't Jesus a coward? Despite the ploy of apologetic theology, the Gospels have given the Christian world a whining and crying cowardly Jesus whose final words on the cross was to blame God for all his cowardly problems in dealing with death.
In the final analysis, the Bible present us - not with a Jesus whose mental state and actions would have won him a Congressional Metal of Honor, but a cowardly Jesus. A Jesus (despite all his recorded supernatural powers and preaching to everyone on God’s never ending faith) who would likely have been shot for desertion!

Christian atheism is a form of Christianity that rejects the theistic claims of Christianity, but draws its beliefs and practices from Jesus' life and/or teachings as recorded in the New Testament Gospels and other sources.
Christian atheism takes many forms:
- Some include an ethics system.
- Some are types of cultural Christianity.
- Some Christian atheists take a theological position in which the theistic belief in the transcendent or interventionist God is rejected or absent in favor of finding God totally in the world (Thomas J. J. Altizer).
- Others follow Jesus in a godless world (William Hamilton).
- Hamilton's Christian atheism is similar to Jesuism.

When I was in Graduate School taking a course in Quantum Mechanics, our group was broken down into groups of 5 for the final exam. We had to solve a very complex problem (I don't remember what is was, as it was 47 years ago). Myself and 3 others had no ideea how to solve the problem. The 5th member was Chinese
and said he could write a paper solving the problem for us. We said great. He was correct and we all got an A , thanks to him.

When all the factors are taken together—purchase price, range, refueling costs, maintenance and experience—EVs are simply a better investment. Their net emissions are lower, they require less maintenance, they actually cost less over the lifetime of the vehicle, and they're just more fun to drive.

And as current technology goes, a normal human man can't be made into a woman or vice versa, I think.
No, but his brain can have him think like a woman. “The brain and the body can go in different directions,” Dr. Altinay says. “Gender is not only in our genitalia; there’s something in the brain that determines gender.”
