This is an example of God's morality. See what happens when you love God?

President Dwight David Eisenhower, perhaps the last real Republican, had a 90 percent tax rate for the super rich during his administration.
Eisenhower explained it this way: The super rich could avoid the high taxes by investing their money in things that make America stronger. If they wanted to avoid high taxes, he said they could invest in business expansions and higher employee wages. They could give a million or two to tax-exempt non-profits that feed, house and clothe poor people of America, among other things.
They did some of that, but the Eisenhower years generated enough taxes to launch and complete the labyrinth of interstate highways, the largest road project America had ever seen and is needed again.

I think my 3rd cousin Albert (through the Koch family) said it all: “The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.”

No, it is still called a televison. The word television combines tele, "far off" in Greek, and vision, "something seen in the imagination," from a Latin root.

The modern word was first used in 1900 in a paper by Russian scientist Constantin Perskyi that he presented at the First International Congress of Electricity. At the time, television was just a theoretical concept as a means for transmitting still photographic images over telegraph lines.

I looked into Religious Epistemology and found:

(1) Belief in God is rational only if there is sufficient evidence for the existence of God. (2) There is not sufficient evidence for the existence of God. (3) Therefore, belief in God is irrational.

Now i don't think a drunk God created Adam. 

Thanks

Death, in a medical sense, is when the heart stops beating and cuts off blood to the brain.
This means the brain’s functions also stop and can no longer keep the body alive.
The brain’s cerebral cortex — the so-called “thinking part” of the brain — also slows down instantly, and flatlines, meaning that no brainwaves are visible on an electric monitor, within 2 to 20 seconds.
This eventually results in the death of the brain.

During feminizing hormone therapy, you'll be given medication to block the action of the hormone testosterone. You'll also be given the hormone estrogen to decrease testosterone production and induce feminine secondary sex characteristics. Changes caused by these medications can be temporary or permanent.

Isn't your preception of gender just the amount of testosterone or estrogen your body produces? This is more proof of God's lack of understanding of quality control.

Both the Chernobyl and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disasters were “level 7” events on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES) — ie, the highest level denoting a major release of radioactive material with widespread effects and requiring planned and extended countermeasures.
Citing calculations by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the report says that total atmospheric release of radioactive material from the Fukushima nuclear disaster (iodine-131, cesium-134, cesium-137, and noble gases) was estimated to be less than 15 percent of that emitted by the Chernobyl accident.
“However, the number of people affected by radiation in Japan has tripled compared to Chernobyl,” said Nathalie Gysi of Green Cross Switzerland.
The radiation released by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was largely concentrated in Japan and over the Pacific Ocean. The study cites estimates that 80 percent of the released radiation was deposited in the ocean and the other 20 percent was mostly dispersed within a 50 km radius to the northwest of the power plant in the Fukushima Prefecture.

Harris has already cast more tiebreaking votes than Biden did during his entire tenure as vice president, and will likely continue to play an integral part in parlaying Democratic legislation through the Senate, especially with growing Republican dissatisfaction with the White House’s trillion-dollar infrastructure and family care bills. 

I think a research paper titled:  DID JESUS RETURN IN 70 AD?  by Stafford North, Oklahoma Christian Univerity of Science and Arts

supports  Stephen's points. In it North says,

Yes, many asexual people still have a libido and might experience sexual desire. So, asexual people might still masturbate or have sex. ... It just means they don't experience sexual attraction. There are many reasons why an asexual person might want to have sex.

OMG, you don't think Melania is a Borg, do you?

Remember that Trump refers to Melania as “it.” Or at least, the president did during an appearance that day on Fox & Friends.

But the School System should include this health tip that might sound pretty good to many guys: Have more sex, or masturbate more, and you might lower your odds of getting prostate cancer.  Research suggests that the more often men ejaculate, the less likely they are to have the disease.

The universe is vast. Scientists estimate there are 10^80 atoms in the universe. Why did God use atoms in the first place? He is not made of atoms.

The entire construct of the Christian religion is based on the Bible. Theists are taught to maintain a blind trust in everything their religion teaches, and to utilize broken reasoning where evidence and logic fail to support their assertions – especially with the existence of god arguments. Without it their whole world would fall apart. The Bible is full of impossibilities but this is the belief in magic which is taught and maintained to avoid such challenges. To question the Bible is unthinkable to most apologetics. To them, it is the unerring word of their god, despite its irrationalities, shortcomings, contradictions and flaws.

Well, religion is the opiate of the people.

A new assessment of NASA's record of global temperatures revealed that the agency's estimate of Earth's long-term temperature rise in recent decades is accurate to within less than a tenth of a degree Fahrenheit, providing confidence that past and future research is correctly capturing rising surface temperatures.
The most complete assessment ever of statistical uncertainty within the GISS Surface Temperature Analysis (GISTEMP) data product shows that the annual values are likely accurate to within 0.09 degrees Fahrenheit (0.05 degrees Celsius) in recent decades, and 0.27 degrees Fahrenheit (0.15 degrees C) at the beginning of the nearly 140-year record.
This data record, maintained by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York City, is one of a handful kept by major science institutions around the world that track Earth's temperature and how it has risen in recent decades. This global temperature record has provided one of the most direct benchmarks of how our home planet's climate has changed as greenhouse gas concentrations rise.
The study also confirms what researchers have been saying for some time now: that Earth's global temperature increase since 1880 – about 2 degrees Fahrenheit, or a little more than 1 degree Celsius – cannot be explained by any uncertainty or error in the data. Going forward, this assessment will give scientists the tools to explain their results with greater confidence.

Yes, I know that, I was just kidding around.

Human police officers will eventually be replaced by artifical intelligence robots. Dubai, one of seven emirates in the United Arab Emirates, is taking a technological leap of faith this week as it introduces its first robot officer to the Dubai police force. Designed by the Spanish company PAL Robotics, the specialized REEM robot stands 5 feet 6 inches high and looks like a knight in shining white plastic armor, riding in on its wheels (rather than a horse).
This is just the first step for the Dubai police department. The department aims to have 25 percent of its police force composed of robot officers by the year 2030. "We are looking to make everything smart in Dubai Police. By 2030, we will have the first smart police station which won't require human employees," Brigadier Khalid Nasserl Al Razouqi, the General Director of Dubai Police's Smart Services Department, told Gulf News.

Because of memory.  we know even pets have memory because they remember you. Cognition refers to thinking and memory processes, and cognitive development refers to long-term changes in these processes. One of the most widely known perspectives about cognitive development is the cognitive stage theory of a Swiss psychologist named Jean Piaget. Piaget created and studied an account of how children and youth gradually become able to think logically and scientifically. 
Piaget was a psychological constructivist: in his view, learning proceeded by the interplay of assimilation (adjusting new experiences to fit prior concepts) and accommodation (adjusting concepts to fit new experiences). The to-and-fro of these two processes leads not only to short-term learning, but also to long-term developmental change. The long-term developments are really the main focus of Piaget’s cognitive theory.

You are talking about the Apple gay dating App, HOLE, right? They say, Open HOLE and you are one tap away from finding a partner. After you publish your request, the app will show people near you wishing to hook up right now. When you like someone who likes you back, the app gives you one hour to get to know each other and decide where to meet. Quick and simple.

There is a lot of good information in the comments also.

Well stated.

Oh crap, I read this wrong. I thought it said, Some of the most fucking phenomenal FLRW masterpieces.

The 10 warmest years on record have all occurred since 2005, and 7 of the 10 have occurred just since 2014. Looking back to 1988, a pattern emerges: except for 2011, as each new year is added to the historical record, it becomes one of the top 10 warmest on record at that time, but it is ultimately replaced as the “top ten” window shifts forward in time.
By 2020, models project that global surface temperature will be more than 0.5°C (0.9°F) warmer than the 1986-2005 average, regardless of which carbon dioxide emissions pathway the world follows. This similarity in temperatures regardless of total emissions is a short-term phenomenon: it reflects the tremendous inertia of Earth's vast oceans. The high heat capacity of water means that ocean temperature doesn't react instantly to the increased heat being trapped by greenhouse gases. By 2030, however, the heating imbalance caused by greenhouse gases begins to overcome the oceans' thermal inertia, and projected temperature pathways begin to diverge, with unchecked carbon dioxide emissions likely leading to several additional degrees of warming by the end of the century.

Yes, "At best, the 'electric universe' is a solution in search of a problem; it seeks to explain things we already understand very well through gravity, plasma and nuclear physics, and the like," said astronomer Phil Plait, who runs the blog Bad Astronomy at Slate. "At worst it's sheer crackpottery like homeopathy and astrology, making claims clearly contradicted by the evidence."

Because this is a health issue, why don't you take this up with a college counselor?

Another reason carbon dioxide is important in the Earth system is that it dissolves into the ocean like the fizz in a can of soda. It reacts with water molecules, producing carbonic acid and lowering the ocean's pH. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, the pH of the ocean's surface waters has dropped from 8.21 to 8.10. This drop in pH is called ocean acidification.  
A drop of 0.1 may not seem like a lot, but the pH scale is logarithmic; a 1-unit drop in pH means a tenfold increase in acidity. A change of 0.1 means a roughly 30% increase in acidity. Increasing acidity interferes with the ability of marine life to extract calcium from the water to build their shells and skeletons.

Moses is just a myth made up by people with numerous brain lesions.

Academic consensus is that the Exodus story is a myth and contains little of historical worth, while archaeology has ended any search for evidence for Moses as a "fruitless pursuit". No references to Moses appear in any Egyptian sources prior to the fourth century BCE, long after he is believed to have lived.

See " God Is Unconvincing To Smart Folks" by J. H. McKenna Ph.D.

It is Intellegent Man that has made life livable, not Stupid Man.

Wow, I bet the Pope is glad we didn't have smart phones back then.

The national debt level of the United States is a measurement of how much the federal government owes its creditors.  Right now it is $28 trillion dollars. The federal government is broke.

Listen to the greatest Jew in history:

 “The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.”

Albert Einstein 1954

Maybe God hate Jews. He did kill his only son who was a Jew. Also Hitler's troops wore belt buckles that said "God is with Us".

It looks like you made $250.

I stated this on 4/07.

An interesting fact is that females are born with their entire lifetime supply of gametes. At birth, the normal female ovary contains about 1-2 million/oocytes (eggs). Females are not capable of making new eggs, and in fact, there is a continuous decline in the total number of eggs each month.

From the standpoint of introspection, the existence of qualia seems indisputable. It has, however, proved remarkably difficult to accommodate qualia within a physicalist account of the mind. Many philosophers have argued that qualia cannot be identified with or reduced to anything physical, and that any attempted explanation of the world in solely physicalist terms would leave qualia out.

And don't forget that 100 million Indigenous people in the Americas were killed during the European Colonization for the propagation of American capitalism, as well as millions of African people that were enslaved as property to be profited off of by capitalists in the West.

Maybe that's why I look like Keanu Reeves.

Anesthesia is proof of Theweakeredge's statement that  consciousness is purely the emergent properties of physical properties.

It is time for Mankind to transition from Religion  to Humanism. It is time to question the purpose of this Simulatation we live in. We know it is a simulation because of Spooky Action at a Distance (Quantum Entanglement).

First of all thanks for the unblock. Then, see Do Insects Have Consciousness? A new theory has scientists buzzing by Abigail Tucker.

It states, "While the human midbrain and the insect brain may even be evolutionarily related, an insect’s inner life is obviously more basic than our own. Accordingly, bugs feel something like hunger and pain, and “perhaps very simple analogs of anger,” but no grief or jealousy. “They plan, but don’t imagine,” Klein says. Even so, insects’ highly distilled sense of self is a potential gift to the far-out study of consciousness. Probing the insect brain could help quantify questions of what it means to think that vexed the likes of Aristotle and Descartes, and could even aid the development of sentient robots."

I wonder if a study has ever been done on the number of neurons in a theist brain and in an atheist brain? And RationalMadman, why are you blocking me, we are soul brothers.

A mosquitoes brain has 250,000 neurons and it is aware of itself. The human brain has 8.6x10^10 neurons.

It's in our genes. Remember the Boston Tea Party.
