Well I wasn’t planning on shotgunning a redbull but here we are.

Which book?
I said numbers. The book of numbers.
[19] God is not a human being, that he should lie, or a mortal, that he should change his mind. Has he promised, and will he not do it? Has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
And as you pointed out, God does not do everything he says, meaning he either changes his mind (which the inspired word of gawd says he does not) or he lies to people (which is evidently contrary to his nature). Go ahead and read the rest if you want, verse 16 makes it explicit that God actually spoke these words directly to balaam.

I mean if you want to agree God can change his mind that entails that he can’t possibly be all-knowing. Changing your mind generally requires new information that you didn’t know before. But that’s irrelevant because numbers 23:19 and 1 Samuel 15:29 both say God can’t change his mind.
In the context of a group of camel herders assigning human characteristics to a deity to make it more understandable, it lines up perfectly. In the context of an almighty God handing down his Word to humans, it’s contradictory.
On a less serious note, if we’re made in his image, does he have a dick n balls? If so, what for?

multiple branches of Christianity
That’s a good point. It’s weird that the divine word of God is so nebulous as to spawn 40,000 denominations that all think the others have it wrong.
assume the first was just filler
The Bible is really easy to interpret when you just ignore the stuff you don’t like. Like the original verse condoning rape. But even if we accept that the old law doesn’t apply anymore, it did at one point, meaning God (and therefore Jesus) condoned rape. If you believe God is unchanging, you have to believe he still thinks rape is permissible as long as you marry the victim.

You forgot the rest.
18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter,[a] not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore, whoever breaks[b] one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus is explicitly speaking on the law and prophets, meaning the Torah and Nevi’im, basically the entire old testament. He said not a single stroke of a letter will pass from the law until heaven and earth pass away, meaning FOREVER or until end times when a new heaven is created on earth, depending on your interpretation.
Seeing as earth is still here, all has not been accomplished.

I was going to say religion is still necessary to control some people because there are some straight up sociopaths that only behave because of the fear of hell, but the fact that they totally believe they’re one of Jesus’ special little buddies makes me think that makes the issue even worse.

What really drives it home for me is the nametags. They say “employee since (year)” and I’ve seen a ff of people who have been there for 15-20 years. Meanwhile, find me anyone who has worked at McDonald’s for more than one year and hasn’t given up on life.

I’ve long yearned to see dead malls turned into mixed zoning areas. Turn a section into cheap studio apartments, slap in a grocery store, basically make a micro-city. I’m at the point in my life where I need my own space, but when I was a young 20 something, not having to get in my car to go places would have been a fucking godsend.
Also because it is my mission to shill Kirkland whenever I can, their granola bars are insane value for price. 64 for like 9 bucks. 100 calories, low sugar, very damn tasty. The dishwasher pods suck ass though, don’t get those. Residue for days.

It’s not specifically for horses, it’s just commonly used enough that it’s easy to source horse formulations. When the nutjobs couldn’t get the regular stuff from doctors, they sometimes bought horse paste.

What was expected here? Take all the shit out of the fridge, put the pizza box in the bottom, then stack it all on top again to make it look neat? Maybe I’m a slob but I see no world where this isn’t the play unless there’s only like 2 slices that can fit in tupperware or a bag.

- Comment on Wait bro, what if?????? 1 month ago:
Critical thinking simply stops. It’s incredible. I saw someone say to a Christian that their morality comes from divine revelation from a magic purple hippo that created the universe and the Cristian accurately identified all the problems with that argument. Then when asked where morality comes from, regurgitate the exact bullshit they themselves debunked with God in place of the purple hippo.
- Comment on Crazy how it does that 2 months ago:
My phone got force updated to gemini and I kind of dig it. Mainly because when I told it to navigate to costco and it asked whether I wanted to go to the bakery or the food court I said “whichever one because they’re in the same building you fucking clanker” it just routed me to one of them instead of saying “sorry, I don’t understand” like Google assistant usually did.
Realistically though, using an LLM for natural language processing should have happened years ago and I’m pissed it’s so enshittified now that it’s finally happened.
