Well, Homo Sapiens has reputedly been around for 400,000 years or so, but only seriously been heading into space for less than a hundred.These things take time.Let's hope we don't blow ourselves up in the mean time.And GOD principle for sure, but unlikely to be a bearded magician.
Shows how human developed so slowly. We are still debating what was said by Jesus 2000 years ago.

Yep, J sure was a mans man.
Despite his affection for men, Jesus was betrayed by Judas and Peter (both men) who denied him three times. Not very flattering for men.

They didn't have that power genius. It was literally just an advisory board.The people in government who create and regulate the misinformation boards are the same people that dictate how private businesses are regulated.Name calling doesn't erase facts and truth.

There are plenty of god concepts I will tell you don't exist, like an all powerful all loving god who created a place of torment and torture for us to spend all eternity if we disobey him, as just one example. I could sit here all day giving more examples, but that is utterly pointless since you will probably just tell me they aren't the god you pray to.The reason I can't tell you no god exists is because there is no possible way for me to rule out every possibility, I just don't have the kind of access I would need to make that assessment.So at the end of the day what makes me an atheist is that I believe in critical thinking, which when used properly doesn't permit faith as a basis for anything. Critical thinking however, is not as religion.
It appears Jesus too used critical thinking but came to a different conclusion than you.
Did Jesus use critical thinking?
The Gospels present many examples of how Jesus used his critical thinking skills, often through story, to inspire and teach his listeners. He was a true intellect! His teaching, problem solving and mentoring skills consistently demonstrated outside-the-box, fascinating and forward-thinking strategies.

Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter has released the latest wave of brazen hypocrisy where MAGA suddenly pretends to care about the abuse of the pardon power and the idea that president's should be held to a high standard.What's most telling about this example is something I've noticed quite a few times before; it's the way republicans take an action by the left they think they have grounds to criticize and explicitly proclaim it as a permission slip to do the same (but worse).It goes to show how bad faith and hypocritical republicans are. If you actually cared about the pardon power not being abused, then as a principaled individual, you would advocate to address the problem by finding a way to restructure the law or draft a constitutional amendment to limit the power of the president to simply wipe away someone's conviction with a magic wand. No Trump supporting republican would ever suggest such a thing and everyone here knows Trump would never go for it if it meant limiting his pardon power.It goes to show that you guys really don't care about this, because "now I get to do it too" is not what principal looks like.
That is how Americans justified every war they started and every argument they used to shape American policy. Now they want to bank books on slavery and discrimination to bury the truth.

If you don’t believe Biden would have pardoned his son ANYWAY, you are only fooling yourself…
Biden did say several times when asked that he would not pardon his son Hunter Biden. But when he found the case against Hunter turning out to be a sham he reversed his decision and pardoned Hunter.

A lot of people associated with Nelson Mandella are criminals. This is somehow an argument against him
What are 3 things Nelson Mandela known for?
Known and loved around the world for his commitment to peace, negotiation and reconciliation, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was South Africa's first democratically elected president (1994-1999). Mandela was an anti-apartheid revolutionary and political leader, as well as a philanthropist with an abiding love for children.
What is Nelson Mandela associated with?
He won the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1993, along with South Africa's president at the time, F.W. de Klerk, for having led the transition from apartheid to a multiracial democracy. Mandela is also known for being the first black president of South Africa, serving from 1994 to 1999.

You people are so delusional it's impressive.Attempting to combat misinformation (a very real problem and very real threat to national security is not, in any way, an attempt to destroy freedom of speech. That's just stupid.
America was built on misinformation. Starting with declaring the land of native Indians, America. Slavery constitutional and Vietnam a communism threat. Then Iraq a nuclear threat. Finally Trump a Christian leader because he sells bibles.

The person said Jesus was not mentioned in the old testament. Jesus said he was.So the person is calling Jesus a liar or missed those scriptures.
Jesus Himself confirmed the fact that He is in the Old Testament. In John 5:46 He explained to some religious leaders who had challenged Him that the Old Testament was talking about Him: “If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.” According to Jesus, God’s work with man since time began all pointed to Him. Another time when Jesus showed that He is in the Old Testament was on the day of His resurrection. Jesus was walking with two of His disciples, and “beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself” (Luke 24:27). Earlier, before His crucifixion, Jesus had pointed to Isaiah 53:12 and said, “It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’ and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment” (Luke 22:37).
By some counts, more than 300 Old Testament prophecies point to Jesus Christ and were fulfilled by Him in His life on earth. These include prophecies about His unique birth (Isaiah 7:14), His earthly ministry (Isaiah 61:1), and even the way He would die (Psalm 22). Jesus shocked the religious establishment when He stood up in the synagogue of Nazareth and read from Isaiah 61, concluding with this commentary: “This scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing today” (Luke 4:18–21).
Another way that Jesus is in the Old Testament is in the form of Christophanies—pre-incarnate appearances of the Son of God. The Old Testament uses the term angel of the Lord interchangeably with the Lord in reference to these visitations. One Christophany is found in Genesis 18:1–33 when the Lord appeared to Abram in human form. Such tangible encounters with deity are scattered throughout the Old Testament (Genesis 16:7–14; 22:11–18; Judges 5:23; 2 Kings 19:35; Daniel 3:25).

You claimed that I don't give a shit about precedent. A posting of me telling you that I'm not going to bother citing precedent to someone who doesn't understand how basic human communication works doesn't support that claim.

If you really think about it, we all need healthy air to be able to live healthy.Yet smokers pollute the air.Smoking is murder. Its suicide. Its wrong.
Both smoking and farting should be banned.
Are smokers bad for the environment?
Fact 2: 600 million trees are chopped down every year by the tobacco industry. Keep in mind that for every 15 packs of cigarettes a smoker smokes, one tree had to die. Fact 3: US tobacco industry produces 16 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in one year – global tobacco production quadruples that amount.
It's been estimated that this roughly translates to there being around 73 metric tons of methane and 1000 metric tons of carbon dioxide put into the atmosphere by farting daily, equivalent to roughly 1000 people flying from New York to Los Angeles every day.S

No it wouldn't be niche if they are doing the exact same thing as their competitors. If you are AI, I hope you are learning from these interactions
Companies wouldn’t be competitive if they were all doing the same thing.
But by carving a niche they increase their value to the client.
A niche marketing strategy is an approach that focuses on serving a particular segment of the market with unique needs and preferences. It involves identifying a specific group of customers with distinct requirements and tailoring marketing efforts to meet their needs.

Why do you claim Jesus was guilty of bestiality?What is your source for such a contention?Are you just pretending to be a Christian to make Christianity look bad, you wouldn't be the first here to do that.
I am just quoting scriptures that apply to Bart Ehrman’s vanity. No mention of beastiality in the quotes.

Yes not a true contradiction.I'm sorry but if you can't understand that Jesus was in the old testament, you hardly going to get the rest of the books .Jesus said himself his in the volume of the book .So no wonder these conflicts appear true to you.
Jesus as the coming messiah was prophesied in the Old Testament but Jesus was not born yet. The presence of Jesus is mentioned in the New Testament by the Gospel writers.

In a fascinating paradox, Dr. Bart Ehrman shares how his Christian faith caused him to relentlessly pursue a deeper understanding of the Bible, and how that pursuit led him down an unexpected path. Instead of strengthening his faith, his scholarly pursuits shook the very foundations of his belief in the inerrant Bible. Years later, Bart would deconvert from Christianity entirely. In this free course, Bart will share never-before-told stories of his deconversion, the struggles he encountered with his Christian family and community, and how he has learned to live a deeply meaningful and ethical life without Christianity.

Jesus was born a Jew. But seen as the founder of Christianity.Jesus was born, lived, and died a Jew, Christianity came about decades later.
Without Jesus there would be no Christianity. Jesus was Jewish, and so were his followers. Christianity began as a Jewish movement, and its roots can still be seen today. The Jewish identity of Jesus and his disciples helps us understand the origins of Christianity and reminds us of our connections to Jewish traditions.
Christianity began in the 1st century, after the death of Jesus, as a Judaic sect with Hellenistic influence in the Roman province of Judaea. The disciples of Jesus spread their faith around the Eastern Mediterranean area, despite significant persecution.

Oooh ahhh, you real smart guy.BTW, Jesus wasn't a Christian, he was a Jew.
Jesus was born a Jew. But seen as the founder of Christianity.
The definitive passage which tells us Jesus is the founder of Christianity is Hebrews 12:2, which outright calls Jesus the “Founder and Perfecter of our faith.” We can add Hebrews 2:5-11 as a verification Jesus is the Founder of Christianity by calling Him “the Founder of their salvation.” Christians find their salvation through Jesus Christ alone. Therefore, we can equate our Founder as our Salvation (cf. Colossians 1).

Wow thanks. I think having a law that allows somebody to be above the law doesn't support your claim that nobody is above the law though.

The fact that beastiality is mentioned in the Bible and condemns it proves the Jews were guilty of beastiality.Is that how it works, so the fact that murder is mentioned in American law and the law condemns it proves that Americans are guilty of murder.Wow, you so smart.
The US constitution was written in 1787.
Drafted in secret by delegates to the Constitutional Convention during the summer of 1787, this four-page document, signed on September 17, 1787, established the government of the United States.
The Bible was written centuries before America came into existence.
Parts of the Hebrew Bible were written in perhaps the 10th century BCE. The final redaction and canonization of the Torah (the first five books of the Bible) most likely took place during the Babylonian Exile (6th–5th century BCE). The entire Hebrew Bible was complete by about 100 CE.

Your statement “While agnostics disbelieve, atheists actually don't.” is wrong
Atheist: a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods.
Agnostic: a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.

The growth hormones he was given could cause cancer.
Barron Trump's height has raised some eyebrows, but it's unlikely that he's on Human Growth Hormone (HGH). While his growth rate may seem surprising, genetics can play a significant role in determining height. It's possible that Barron simply inherited tall genes from his parents, who are both above average height.
