My parents have a shed with all the shit that they have amassed over the years. Somehow my moonboot from 2016-17 ended up there, and I think it’s still there to this day. Along with other random things like a slide projector.

Religious people (especially monotheistic religions, not sure about pantheistic ones like Hinduism) have more reason to study science than non religious people. Everyone can get practical value from studying the world, but religious people also study science to learn more about God.

Plus most of the rest of the Bible. I highly doubt that the political cult focused around a billionaire would approve of Amos, the book of the Bible all about God being pissed at Isreal for treating poor people badly.

A. It kinda depends who you ask. Some Christians are cessationists, meaning they believe the gifts of the spirit stopped happening after the apostles in the new testament. Those Christians will universally say no new scripture can be added. On the other hand, Catholics believe in papal infallibility, which means that in certain conditions (I’m not sure what they are, I’m not a catholic), the pope can make infallible doctrine, which is almost as highly valued as scriptural doctrine.
B. The list of books in the Bible has technically changed since the original canonization in the 4th century, but that was only removals like the apocrypha as far as I know. To add a new book, especially one written so long after the new testament was written, is basically impossible. It has been tried by the Mormons and arguably by Islam (although I don’t think they see the new testament letters as scripture so it’s another change on top of adding), but both of those changed so much that they’re no longer Christian.
I technically won’t say God can’t reveal more to humanity, enough to make another book of the Bible, but we already have the Bible, with no new additions for nearly 2000 years. If God was going to inspire more scripture, he probably would have done it by now.

- Comment on How do you sleep at night? Please respond with a number 4 weeks ago:
Solution: more blankets. Where I grew up we had regular frosts all through winter, but I never really went with anything more than 18. 2-3 blankets and a thick duvet does a lot for keeping you warm.

Agreed. “Chunky water” type vegetable soup is very different from “thick and gloopy” pumpkin soup

That’s like how in dnd lore the tarrasque, basically the biggest, scariest monster, is always depicted with big spikes on its back. Animals evolve spikes like that to ward off predators. That means something at least used to hunt tarrasques

It’s also in large part Trump’s fault that any attention is on the files. He was the one pushing the conspiracy theory, and running on the promise of releasing them. So anyone who’s name is in the files can blame Trump for them not getting away with it.
I don’t like that line of logic, but it works out
- Comment on THIS is real. There is an app that allows you to text with Jesus 1 month ago:
There’s probably less editorializing than you’d think. At least less that was successful in being hidden. There are verses that we know we’re added in later that seem like they fit in perfectly. Example: “for yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, now and forever” at the end of the Lord’s prayer. That verse feels right at home there, but based on early copies and differences between copies as Christianity spread, we know that wasn’t original.

He would and did quote the old testament. The prophets books were written at least a few hundred years before he lived, and those were the latest of the old testament to be written.
The new testament was written about 100 years after he lived, and canonized a few hundred years later.
