Ok, first of all, I didn't lose my car. I had it chopped up. I could have changed my mind and not taken it to the scrap yard, but it was time - and I had already bought a new car. Well, a new second...

This is objectively false.


This is a derogatory term, as it is a play on Pax Romana - which was peace for the Romans, and screw the rest. As far as conquered territories were concerned, peace...

I don't get it, shouldn't this abortion be sanctioned by the law, if it permits abortion if the mother's life is in danger? In this case it might even have saved the second foetus.

And this is...

If you want to make the case that this is somehow applicable to basics' situation with his ailing Citröen Xara, you'll have a difficult time of it. basics wasn't at a crossroads of faith or some...

I'm a little taken aback that this should be news. The industrialised countries of the world has grown fat off goods and services we could well produce ourselves, but which we get for next to nothing...

The first of the above is part of both liberal and leftist thought, and the second I would class squarely as a liberal issue, not a leftist one. And I would also be remiss if I did not point out that...

It says that on Day 1 God separated light from the darkness - not night and day. Today, we define a day as a complete revolution of the Earth around its own axis. But until the heliocentric model was...

That's kind of what I was driving at. You were fortunate, ie. it's a matter of luck. As you yourself have said just now, you don't get everything you pray for. So praying is incidental to the result....

I addressed your challenge. The fact that none of the candidates were universally rejected by Republicans clearly shows that there certainly aren't any objections about their qualifications - or...

Only Biden could answer that question, because only he - and maybe those closest to him - knows the sum of candidates he had in consideration. But all you need to know is this: the President freely...

You mean freely in and out in front of the police. I can't help noticing that the police are forming a line through which no one passes. A small number of doorways is far easier to protect than many.

Who or what is to blame is neither here nor there. Presumeably God was not to blame for your car's malfunction, but he saved it all the same. And indeed, If I see someone lying in a ditch bleeding...

Correction: "I will pick a female judge, if there are any good candidates". Not "come hell or high water". To some district courts, for example, Biden only nominated men.



Still, no one has a...

Morality is a collective thing, with individual building blocks. Every person manages to justify his actions to himself, and so he is moral according to his own code. But if other individuals...

I'm sorry, but you did not account for that. You are still using randomised populations.



The entire pool is available. No one shows up. Each candidate is hand picked.



Which is not...

But the judges aren't picked at random. I don't know how big a pool Biden had to choose from, but it stands to reason that he could freely pick from the cream of the crop, whether male of female. So...

Hey, it was your trolling. You blatantly lied about what he said, and it was so obvious that you clearly knew you were completely fabricating his meaning. He said "housework" and "raising children" -...

So Morticia's idea of housework and child rearing is sitting lazy on one's ass at home eating pralines and drinking prosecco. If so, why is she complaining women do 60% more of this than men?

Muscles and testosterone did not happen to allow men to overpower women. Nor is that how gender roles arose. Sexual dimorphism evolves for a reason. Men didn't randomly evolve to have protective...

I don't think anyone is suggesting traditional gender roles aren't affecting people's choices. But traditional gender roles are not inherently sexist - it is the insistence that people cannot or must...

Well, if we're getting nerdy about this (and why on earth not), then however different our descendants will be from us, 10000 or so generations down the line, they will still be our legacy. And they...

That's not what your link says. Your link says girls have slightly better exams than boys - eg. C+ vs. C average for A-levels.



This does not follow from your link, either. The BBC article...

If this was a simple case of a business hiring people I would agree with you. But remember that Biden has only appointed 42 judges so far, and that makes up less than 5% of the total (there are...

No, the Bible says you can survive your own death through the blood of Jesus Christ. I'm saying everything dies. You asked, "Humanity lives on a doomed planet which it has no control over so how is...

The problem with that narrative is that you Christians tend to claim there is such a thing as objective morality, which means it cannot change. So that begs the question: why wasn't forgiveness and...

Now, that's sexist.

I do not believe I attributed protective instincts to "noble reasons" anywhere. Instincts are instincts, and the result of evolution. And no, these instincts did not evolve...

Which countries are you looking at, in that case? Because although the percentiles do naturally vary from one country to the next, they show the same in each country: women are more likely to work...

Different countries see men and women making the same different choices. That is to say, men still gravitate towards "male" occupations and women gravitate towards "female" occupations. All over the...

I'm not the one you want to quote those verses to. Although, since you have quoted them to me, I am compelled to point out that the NT is quite explicit on granting God a monopoly on violence....

That's the New Testament, though. In the Old Testament, God is very much a god of war.

All good questions, but I think I'll focus on this one:


Ironically, I think the best pro-war movies are anti-war movies. Japanese WWII propaganda movies aimed to show precisely how harsh,...

This has got to be the worst misreading of one of my posts that I have ever come across.

Presidential appointments aren't based solely on ability, but their political positions and reputations - they are a signal to the public as much as anything. A president who wishes to signal...

Ultimately, we won't. The earth isn't going to be habitable forever, and even the universe itself will eventually die. Meanwhile, we're going to do our best to live and thrive, because that's what we...

That's as maybe. But if they did, would you feel they were justified in screaming with rage? And if you don't feel they would be justified, why do you feel you are justified now?




I didn't...

The UK exited the EU, not NATO. The military assets of the various European countries are not subject to EU directives - the EU is an economic union, not a military one. Militarily, Europe is...

Of course it was an attempt to overthrow the election. They broke into Congress the day the electoral votes were cast. And the only criticism of how the US government conducted its 2020 election was...

When I talk of the " seed " I am talking of Jesus simply because the verses imply quite specifically and descriptively Jesus. Was He a seed of the woman? Most certainly as we all are...
