Trump was accurate on Haitians
-->
@Best.Korea
Springfield listened to what Trump has proclaimed about Haitians consuming their pets, and they turned up to vote for him.
My life is a cartoon.
They were defending their pets more than their jobs when they voted for Trump.
Haitians are flocking to Springfield because of the jobs and not because of the abundance of cats.
Many immigrants from Haiti have settled in Springfield, Ohio, drawn by the low cost of living and plentiful jobs.

I was asking for myself, actually. I’ve never liked the idea of owning an animal, though I may try for a pet someday if I can genuinely convince it that it’s living in nature. I’m looking into millipedes, but I gotta sort out my housing first :/
Knowing the answer to your question about animals having free will will not help your pet if it cannot be translated for it to understand.

Trump was accurate on Haitians
For a city like Springfield, Ohio, with a population of about 59,000, it wouldn’t be unusual to estimate the stray cat population to range between 1,000 and 5,000, depending on factors like community efforts, climate, and food availability.

If you were confused over animals having free will. I am not surprised you are confused about needing to translate Catholic Apolegetic’s reply to your pet.

Do you admit some quantifiably proportion of Haitians are eating pets in Springfield?
Trump reduced immigrants from drug dealers, murderers and rapists to pet eaters. Unless Trump is going soft on them, it’s probably a lie.

But I believe in calling a spade a spade, and I fail to understand how I'm incorrect.
Trump won the elections so enough people believed him and voted for him. How many he will deport is another question.

I also created a new hashtag called Sunday School. At the very top of this post, you can click on it and see all the posts under the hashtag "Sunday School." Hopefully, this will make it accessible to see all past Sunday Schools.

Remember what actor Ernest Borgnine who lived 95 years said what was his key to longevity?
Yes. Plus, living longer means more time to learn. It’s a win win.
We just heard Jimmy Carter died at 100 years old. But he was a one term president. People didn’t think he was smart enough.

Saying you can’t prove it isn’t the same as saying it’s falsifiable, science doesn’t prove anything, instead it falsifies different hypothesis until it finds a hypothesis it can’t falsify. But then for a hypothesis to be considered you have to point out a way it could be falsified.

That is not what science says.
Increasingly, there is a tendency to assume that anything not scientifically proven is inherently false. According to the scientific method, a phenomenon is not considered scientific unless it is testable through empirical experimentation, which then determines its truth or falsity.

Its going to be very hard to keep this a "no debate" topic, but I guess we should honor the Sunday School and ask questions instead of making arguments.

Shila please re-read my question, that wasn’t what I was asking 

Shila I’m not asking if what they described is falsifiable. The statement you made “What was revealed to them was based on their faith.” is that falsifiable?
What was revealed to them was based on their faith. Faith is an individual thing. How can you prove it clouds their judgement?

Second question.

How can Jesus who was crucified by the Romans for blasphemy be elevated to God by the same Romans who crucified him a few generations earlier to go onto form the Roman Catholic Church?

When a solution to a problem is proposed. If the problem goes away or is reduced then the solution is considered a success.
In the case of the question asked, “Why did God send Jesus to die for our sins which only continue to multiply when he could have removed sin once and for all?" 
The solution did not make the problem go away, the problem of sin continued to multiply. Therefore the solution was a failure. Jesus’s sacrifice was not necessary and was done in vain.

Take for example karma as a solution.
What is karma in short answer?
Karma is a word meaning the result of a person's actions as well as the actions themselves. It is a term about the cycle of cause and effect. According to the theory of Karma, what happens to a person, happens because they caused it with their actions.

Karma is self accountability.
The actions of an individual , the individual is held accountable. They have to atone for it in their current life and carry over the burden in their next life till justice is fulfilled.

This solution does not hold another person accountable for the actions of others. The debt is paid by the person who incurred it.

Okay and how is this claim falsifiable? And I don’t think understanding is equivalent to what you see in a hallucination 
The individual eyewitness accounts are not falsifiable because the stronger their faith more was revealed to them. Faith is an individual experience.

But relativity makes no broad philosophical claims about “everything”

Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to the forces of nature. It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy.

What is Einstein's theory of relativity used for?
General relativity predicted many phenomena years before they were observed, including black holes, gravitational waves, gravitational lensing, the expansion of the universe, and the different rates clocks run in a gravitational field.

How has general relativity changed the world?
Today, 100 years after general relativity is first presented, new technology is allowing us to explore the most remarkable predictions of the theory, an expanding universe, black holes, ripples in space-time, and perhaps the most bizarre, the idea that not just space, but time itself, is distorted by heavy objects.

That said, I am not really fond of sunday school either way. It is 2025 now. Let the kids reclaim their own sundays where they can watch christian youtubers on their own tippy lippy laptops, by their own volition, of course, amirite.
That is not the reaction expressed by a CatholicApologetics to the question asked by Shila below:
Why did God send Jesus to die for our sins which only continue to multiply when he could have removed sin once and for all?
His response : That's not a bad topic. It delves into many profound Christian truths revolving the atonement of Jesus. I'll consider addressing this one.

We are all waiting for him to address the question. Please be patient.

@Mall
Yes , we read in the book of Ephesians 1 , what God started , ordained as a faith for man. No where in there did we read about the religion of Christianity. Therefore it came about through man, hence all the branches, sects and denominations of it to include Catholicism.
When was Christianity created?
first century CE
Christianity developed in Judea in the mid-first century CE, based first on the teachings of Jesus and later on the writings and missionary work of Paul of Tarsus. Originally, Christianity was a small, unorganized sect that promised personal salvation after death.

Here we can see the eye witnesses disagree on numerous things including the color, the sound (some described a sound and others omitted it, although this is expected with eye-witnesses accounts) this seems to be a mass-hallucination to me.
What was revealed to them was based on their faith. The stronger the faith the more detailed the showing.

People fake illness for a variety of reasons, and the use of props like walking aids and neck collars is popular.

I'm guessing that she didn't have a bad leg at all.

Just waited for the right moment to become the centre of attention and recover miraculously.
This might explain why the people were not impressed by Jesus’s miracles.
John 10 :32-34 Jesus said, “At my Father's direction I have done many good works. For which one are you going to stone me?” They replied, “We're stoning you not for any good work, but for blasphemy!

Do you understand what "truth" and "relative" mean?

Truth itself has to be objective. Man's perception of truth is something different.

If you accept that something is, then you have to accept an objective veracity attributed to it.

If not, everything you say is stupid.



What is the theory that truth is relative?
The sociological view that beliefs are context-dependent, in the sense that their context helps explain why people have the beliefs they do, has also been used to support what is sometimes called “social” or “sociological relativism” or the view that truth or correctness is relative to social contexts because we can

What is the theory that everything is relative?
Albert Einstein's theory of relativity describing absolute ...
The special theory of relativity, first described by Albert Einstein, was merely a statement of the realization that we were wrong-- distances in space and time are actually relative. They change depending on how fast you're moving.

What does Nietzsche say about truth?
Truths are illusions which we have forgotten are illusions- they are metaphors that have become worn out and have been drained of sensuous force, coins which have lost their embossing and are now considered as metal and no longer as coins. We still do not yet know where the drive for truth comes from.

Christianity was invented and made up by man. Jesus didn't start it, God didn't start it. We can learn in scripture what God started from the foundation of the world.

Christianity developed in Judea in the mid-first century CE, based first on the teachings of Jesus and later on the writings and missionary work of Paul of Tarsus. Originally, Christianity was a small, unorganized sect that promised personal salvation after death.

keep in mind it will be challenged/ questioned in one way or another
I'll try to engage only with genuine questions while dismissing attempts to argue.
Why were people unhappy with Catholic Church?
Some felt that the Catholic Church was more interested in money and power than in saving souls. For example, the church sold 'indulgences' for those who had committed sins. For a fine, paid to the church, your sin would be forgiven and when you died, the Church said that you would go to heaven.

Truth is relative.
If that is true, then there is a truth that applies to all people. 




Use a little common sense please.

If this is your philosophy then you are hopeless. it is a self-contradicting statement.
Where truth is relative?
Trump has been impeached twice, indicted 4 times with 91 felony counts. Ordered to pay 88.3 million dollars for sexually assaulting and defaming E.Jean Carroll. Trump was fined 464 million dollars for business fraud and is in court for paying a porn star Stormy Daniels hush money to keep her silent during the elections. Trump's false or misleading claims total 30573 over 4 years Trump has been charged with tax fraud in Chicago to the tune of 100 million dollars. A New York jury on Thursday found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records — the first time a former U.S. president has been convicted of a crime.

To the voter Trump is the best candidate. Voters put Trump in the WhiteHouse a second time.

There is no such thing as truth, since people dont have all knowledge.
Is that true?

Truth is relative.

Declaring that something is true for one person, but not for another, is to claim that the truth is relative to or dependent on the subject being considered. Therefore, there is no universal truth applicable to all men, making the judgment of others futile.
