Granted, an atheist is not the best authority on this, but I was thinking worship had nothing to do with sexual attraction? I just don't get the impresh that my Christian friends are jerking it to Jesus. Unless I'm reeeeaaaally not reading the room.
Jesus was attracted to men and surrounded himself with men even though one betrayed him and another lied to him.

Karma is what Karma does.
For sure, cause and effect.No free will and all that.
While the word "karma" isn't used in the Bible, the concept of reaping what you sow, or the consequences of our actions, is a core theme, emphasizing that our choices have lasting effects, both in this life and the next.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Biblical Themes Related to Karma:
Reaping What You Sow: The Bible frequently emphasizes the principle that our actions have consequences, both positive and negative. For example, Galatians 6:7 states, "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."
Justice and Judgment: The Bible speaks of a divine judgment where people will be held accountable for their deeds, with rewards or punishments based on their actions.
Love and Compassion: The Bible encourages love, compassion, and justice, suggesting that these actions will lead to positive outcomes, while the opposite will lead to negative consequences.

No . I just provide the address to the channel that has a host of content where it has multiple debates and discussions up to browse around in . It's called Animal killing. A very recent video .
Plenty of videos that show how to kill animals humanely.

"According to the majority viewpoint", Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch or Torah, which are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.In Deuteronomy, Moses wrote the account of his own death and burial.
We are talking about the Gospels in the New Testament .
According to the majority viewpoint, the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, collectively called the Synoptic Gospels, are the primary sources of historical information about Jesus and the religious movement he founded.

It is true it shows the limitations of vocabulary with the use of profanity.
What does psychology say about people who curse a lot?
Your use of profanity can be a good indicator of your overall stress level and mood. Swearing at others in an argument can be irreversibly harmful. Too much cursing at yourself can create negative self-talk and contribute to your poor self-image.

“The only exception was the right inferior fronto-occipital tract, connecting parietal and frontal brain areas that mediate own body perception. Our findings suggest that the neuroanatomical signature of transgenderism is related to brain areas processing the perception of self and body ownership, whereas homosexuality seems to be associated with less cerebral sexual differentiation.”
So being trans is closer to the brain than just the sexual organs as in homosexuality.

Babies are always a good emotional argument.It's a practical argument. The babies Israel bombs are not willing assistants or members of Hamas.
The bombing of women and children by the IDF is proof the Jews are afraid of women and children supporting Hamas.

Nope. As long as I can think, and produce, I'll be ahead of AI. I'll be impressed when AI can crawl under my car to losses the oil plug and not get dirty, or set my granddaughter on it's knee and comfort the loss of her first boyfriend. And that's the easy one. She's not yet quite old enough for that. The other, younger stuff that causes her tears are the toughest there is. Having raised her mother, I know she never had tougher times. Nope, AI will never have that kind of skill that always ends with her arms tight around my neck. AI is useless to give and receive like that.

In case #5 that you described, where the third party physically can't remove themselves, I think killing them definitely isn't self-defense, even if there are other routes to argue killing them is justified. The self-defense distinction is important because utilitarian justifications usually require a higher bar to be justified than self-defense. Self-defense is basically a justification in and of itself, but utilitarianism requires that the good of an action outweighs the bad, and a lot of civilian warfare likely doesn't meet that bar. Also requires that you believe the ends justify the means, which isn't universally accepted.

Well I clearly don't think that's possible. I cannot imagine a world where educated Democrats wouldn't understand that Kamala was doing what she needed to do to win, and had even a faint notion Kamala was a genuinely stupid person. They had no problem supporting her even though she often code switched the uneducated southern dialect a great many times.
Kamala Harris was appealing to the educated American people forgetting the majority of Americans are stupid and low educated.

AI eases that transition.
Do you know the maxim: "Don't let temps make permanent decisions."The temp, here, is AI. As I said, AI is, first of all, artificial. That makes as much sense as if/then logic, which is flawed because the "if" clause is invariably, currentry false. and so cannot ever justify the "then" clause. And that is typically how AI approaches reality: by if/then. And that's supposed to represent reality's soft landing?ROFL.
What's the ...While AI systems can be programmed with "if/then" logic, modern AI goes beyond simple conditional statements, leveraging machine learning, neural networks, and other techniques to learn complex patterns and make decisions, according to several sources [1, 3, 4, 5].

And because they also able to extract oxygen from cheese.
Oxygen is already extracted from cheese.
To extend the shelf life of cheese and prevent spoilage, oxygen is extracted from the packaging environment using methods like modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and oxygen scavengers, which absorb oxygen and extend the shelf life of the cheese.

Not at all.I firmly endorse the right of the individual to indulge in recreational sex just as they see fit.
You are not as liberal when it comes to Jesus.
Yep, the biblical character that certain Middle Eastern style deists refer to as Jesus, presented as male.A male who sought the company of other men.No offspring or sexually significant female acquaintances recorded, so putting two and two together.A lot of bloke action but no lady action, plus a body seething with hormones and a bagful of jizz.

We would have more Christian converts with smart phones if that was the case.
Actually Christians would not exist.
While cell phones themselves don't directly cause Christian conversions, they can be a tool to facilitate the spread of Christian messages and potentially lead individuals towards faith, offering access to biblical content, community, and resources that may contribute to spiritual growth and conversion.

If Russia is importing N.Koreans to kill Ukranians is that prolonging the war? Are those N. Koreans volunteering to go Ukraine because conditions for them in N. Korea is so bad.
The Russian are importing N. Koreans to prepare for war with America. N. Koreans have experience fighting Americans.
What war did the US lose?
Some of the United States' most prominent defeats include the American-Algerian War, the War of 1812, Red Cloud's War, the Formosa Expedition, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Bay of Bigs Invasion, and the War in Afghanistan.

All these above benefits have been exploited by Indians for thousands of years before the Industrial revolution when tractors started replacing bullocks for farm power. There is no such single animal that has been of such great benefit to mankind. The Hindu philosophy has the highest place for the Cow so it’s reverence comes naturally.India, where cows are protected, produces the greatest amount of cow's milk in the world.
India will soon outnumber China is population growth. The success with cows was applied to other aspects of Indian life.

The gospels are not eyewitness accounts.They are hand me down tales of what someone who might have been the character referred to as Jesus, might have said.You have absolutely no way of verifying that anything that is stated in the bible, were the exact words of Jesus.If I were to ask you to remember every detail of everything that you spoke yesterday, you would probably not remember anything.So what are the chances of an eyewitness remembering and recording in detail....Honestly and without exaggeration.And what are the chances of someone honestly and without exaggeration, translating and transcribing with any accuracy, several hundred years later?
Jesus was a historical person.

No, that's not what I was getting at, I'm questioning why so many people get upset about trans people, not the trans people themselves, that has to be a tough way to live, especially because of all the prejudice against them.What I don't get is why people are so prejudiced against trans people, why all the hatred, what have they ever done to deserve it, in what way has a trans person affected the hater's life negatively? If they haven't, then what's all the outrage about?There are so many real problems to be upset about, why do people choose this one?I really don't understand it.
Trans make it look so easy to defy reality in public.

Much is said about Israel's right to defend itself whenever civilian casualties are brought up. And of course the same argument is brought up for other countries whose attacks have high casualty rates. But if we've learned anything from the previous two examples, it's that self-defense only implies the right to kill the person attacking you, not the right to attack anyone at all. So while there might be potential arguments to justify attacks killing noncombatants, I find it hard to buy that self-defense is one of them. If an attack kills five terrorists and five noncombatants, you can argue self-defense to justify killing the terrorists, but not so much the five noncombatants.

Conservatives and libertarians like to say they're thick skinned and don't get offended at jokes no matter who the joke is against. If I made fun of their 8-year-old daughter, then they would knock the shit out of me and act like the triggered SJWs that they advocate against.This is fine if they OWN the fact that they're SJWs, that they're sensitive and they get offended at certain jokes; the issue I have is the dishonesty.A time when nobody is pro-offensive joke, at their kids.I can't think of a time when everybody is pro-offensive joke.Maybe the SJWs were right on offensive jokes. Maybe making offensive jokes should be taboo no matter who it's against.

In my opinion.And Jesus was nailed up for being a nuisance...Such was progress at the time.And martyrdom was good for the literary industry, as it was for intellectual development in general.And I'm guessing that by the time the Universe finally collapses, that together with ISI, we or AI or both, will have reinvented the final solution and renamed it GOD.Wild guess...But it was all guesswork...Christ and Sin.

No one has a clue what Jesus may or may not have said.Everything said in the bible is what others said.Red letters just exacerbate the delusions of the gullible.
The Gospels are eyewitness accounts of Jesus and his teachings. Both what Jesus said and what was said about him are quoted.
The red letter Bible highlights the actual words spoken by Jesus in red to distinguish it from what others said about Jesus.
