Oh man - I really love kiwi strawberry Snapple. Am also not gay if that’s relevant.

I was once told by a doctor that everyone gets bitten about the same amount, but some people just don’t get a reaction.

Just to say - this has not been my experience of free healthcare. Not all of it has been great, but most of it has.

Mostly IOS. Price as well I suppose.

Genuinely can’t think of a good reason to switch at all.

Because they’re convinced it’s true. Given that billions of people in the world ( I strongly expect it’s the majority) would claim to be religious - perhaps the better question is: “why does anyone not believe in religion?”

There is a significant difference, but, in my limited experience, many people are religious, but don’t actually believe, but they think they do believe. When the rubber hits the road you find it what a person actually thinks is true.

Also from the UK and I am, apparently, a normie, basic guy - ketchup all the way.

I’m a Brit and I strongly agree with OP. Summer gets too hot and sticky - often even on grey days. It’s not been too bad this year so far, but there’s still plenty to come…

I’ve still got a Nexus One floating around somewhere!

It certainly seems heavy to me. I’m not entirely certain what I’d replace it with. If money were no object and it didn’t have f holes then I’d probably get a thinking Tele.

A Fender Telecaster. I love it, but my health isn’t good enough to let me play on it very much. Plus, I sometimes wonder if I should’ve gone for a lighter guitar…

Honestly - even seeing one of their square poos would be quite a thing!

Seeing a Wombat in the wild is a dream of mine.

If I was in Australia I’d be so excited to see wombats. Is also be scared of seeing spiders…

IANAL, but I doubt it. While I think it probably follows the spirit of the law, it’s unlikely to meet the actual law itself - which is what counts.

Of course, you don’t mention what country you’re from - which could make all the difference…

liberal simply means a supporter of capitalism

That’s simply not true. Liberal means being open to other ideas and tolerant of people having other opinions.

And that’s fair enough. Claiming you can definitively disprove the existence of the Christian God and having some objections that you haven’t heard a convincing response to aren’t the same thing though…

None of this is new or hasn’t been thought about, written about and deflated for centuries. I doubt you have any theologians shaking in their boots.

The meaning of omnipotence as it translates to Good has always been nuanced. There have always been things God can’t do - sin being the obvious example. You could debate whether he can, but just never would because of his character, but it amounts to the same thing and has been orthodoxy for centuries.

The apparent contradictions on the Gospels (especially synoptic) have been done to death. Debated and answered more times than you’ve had hot dinners. There is no serious theologian or biblical scholar who would hear that argument and be at all concerned by it.

Honestly the same applies to the idea of a good god and suffering.

Unless you claim, as OP did, that you can actually disprove it.

I agree that the Bible is not sufficient in the sense that it proves anything or sews up their arguments, but to suggest its historical value as evidence is the same as modern day fiction is absurd.

Yes, you said that, but what exactly?
