I’ll steelman you and say you’re talking about the Abrahamic god that’s been around for about 4000 years. Whilst modern humans have been around for about 300,000 years. Unless you’re a Young Earth Creationist. There’s been many other religions alongside/older than the Abrahamic faith with large numbers of followers. No, God is not universal. There’s documented tribes that are/were close to isolated who fell under atheistic (lack belief in gods).
Though i’ll hand it to the Abrahamic faith that they have some good human stories. Even though many of them are copies from other philosophies/religions.

Think of it this way. There is no evidence for the non existence of the spirit of God. There is no known evidence for the non existence. There is none. So why believe the subject is non existent anyway?You shouldn't when you remain neutral or agnostic.
The burden of proof’s on existence, or ‘what's the difference between an invisible, incorporeal, floating dragon who spits heatless fire and no dragon at all?’

I think it helps them a lot with these issues. I wonder if humans, like monkeys, have at one point eaten soil regularly, and then when they learned how to farm animals and hunt animals, the practice was no longer necessary.
Also geophagy includes ground-up-rocks which is interesting for those who know some animals eat rocks to help digestion.
Off Google…
Many animals swallow rocks, also known as gastroliths, to aid digestion:
- Birds: Ground-dwelling birds like chickens and ostriches, as well as active swimmers like penguins, crocodiles, and seals. Birds with thick gizzards, like ducks, grouse, quail, and turkeys, often pick up grit.
- Reptiles: Crocodiles and alligators.
- Mammals: Seals and toothed whales.
- Amphibians: Frog tadpoles.
- Earthworms: Also use gastroliths.
- Some fish: Also use gastroliths.
Gastroliths help animals break down tough plant material or assist with other digestive processes.
Some animals also use rocks for other purposes, such as:
- Sea urchins: Use their teeth to chew holes in rocks, creating shelters for other reef creatures.
- Lithoredo abatanica: A freshwater shipworm that eats limestone by burrowing into rock and excreting sand.
- Alligators: Eat rocks to increase their time underwater.

Geophagy, or the intentional consumption of soil or similar substances, is a behavior that has been observed in many primate species, including monkeys. Some possible reasons for geophagy in primates include:
- Mineral supplementation: Geophagy can help supplement diets that are low in nutrients.
- Gastrointestinal health: Geophagy may help with diarrhea, treat gastrointestinal disorders, or adjust the pH of the gut.
- Protection from parasites: Geophagy can help protect primates from parasites.
- Metabolizing toxic compounds: Geophagy can help primates metabolize toxic compounds from leaves.

After some quick research i learnt it’s called geophagy. Do you know if fruit/vegetable eating primates tend to practice less geophagy when said foods are abundant?

No. As I said before, the two are theologically incompatible.

Heating water above a certain point creates steam. Whilst you can boil room temperature water in a vacuum chamber to create unheated water vapour that isn’t steam.

As much as it pains me, I'm going to keep lying about my faith to my friends in family. The disrespect and I have received from Christians is unbearable.I would pay so much to be blissfully Christian again. I just can't change what I believe
You can still consider yourself culturally Christian with the good things the Bible teaches.
In a way you wouldn’t be lying to call yourself Christian.

I never said it was a conspiracy. I just defended Alex Jones first amendment rights and the character assassination as well.
You believe misinformation/disinformation are equivalent to truth.
There are countries with high rates of gun ownership that do not have school shooting problems. The root issue is not the guns.
It’s the mental illness you help to perpetuate.
Even if the root issue was guns though, freedom is much more important. Not sure why you would want to adopt Hitler's policicies of disarming citizens
Hitler was free. Freedom means nothing in the face of death.

Unable to post it to Wylted as well. Says he’s not active.
In the minds of people like Wylted is that American school shootings have to be a conspiracy or they would need to revise their beliefs. What Some consider integrity, just grows resentment until they have psychotic breaks.

@JoeBob
I honestly dont know how this happened. After Kamala won the debate so easily, I expected that elections will be easy win since Trump looked like a retard in that debate.Yea I don’t honestly know how she lost this much. I knew the polls somewhat underestimated Trump but I didn’t expect it to be by this big of a margin.
Maybe the left needs to show they care by throwing an insurrection.

# warRemember I care about level of consciousness as well as amount of consciousness. We can divide humans into savages and non savages. It is unethical to kill savages, however it is more unethical to kill non savages and if we have nations like Israel who are competing with savages for their very existence it is ethical for Israel to do what is necessary so their citizens can survive as well as be fruitful and multiply. This is the same reason that colonialism is acceptable. Not because of non savages replacing savage populations but because colonialism often does a lot to civilized savage populations. I would consider all fundamentalist of all religions savages as well. While Christian fundamentalist is more safe than Islamic fundamentalist belief, both peoples are savages who need to be civilized.
Is it savagery for Palestinians to chant ‘Jews will not replace us’?

When conservatives hear ‘immigrants’, they think of invasion.
Maybe the left needs to start calling the Russian invasion an immigration problem if they want to win over the right.

Just going for pure survivability i’d say 3, 12 and 15.
3 being a nurse for physical health.
12 having a good sense of humour for mental health and perhaps having some practical knowledge for surviving.
15 for food.

death count 49.
Some counter intuitive decisions i chose from a purely logical standpoint:
- Saving 5 lobsters over one cat. Mostly due to a cats destructive reputation towards native wildlife.
- Saving 5 sentient robots over myself. Assuming they’re sapient, not having the level of sentients as an insect, and various other factors.
- Saving 5 clones of myself over the original. Would you choose to save 5 other people over yourself?
I disagreed with the determinist-trolley-problem proposition. I distinguish choice from decision/conclusion.
Though i still picked the lesser of the two bads.

Things we know about the shooter:
- He donated to a scam progressive pact, by accident or on purpose.
- He was a registered Republican and voted republican for 2 years prior to his death
- Statements from his old school peers say he was a loner, got bullied, often wore camo, wore a face mask even after the covid pandemic cooled down, and he had conservative inclinations.
- He got kicked off his schools rifle club due to his bad handling of rifles
- Day of the shooting he wore an apolitical gun youtuber t-shirt.
- Neighbours say his parent’s house where he was staying had MAGA signs on their front yard.
- His dad is a libertarian conservative with a bunch of guns, which his son used one of to carry out the shooting.
- Pipe bombs were found in the shooters car right after his death.
Potential motives:
- He had deep seated anger that he had from school.
- He wanted to prove he had a good aim.
- He was a conservative accelerationist.
Anyone else got better ideas for motives?
