Trust me, they have thought about it and all agree they worship the same god even if they have different key prophets (Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed).

Trust me, they can say “we all worship the same god”, but it’s meaningless because they actually don’t. Their gods have fundamental irreconcilable differences, and if they say otherwise, they’re just trying to avoid a fight.

If you actually empathize with a person who has different beliefs, for example, you'd realize that when somebody takes one religion, and changes it drastically, that the people with the earlier religion would not consider themselves to be worshipping the same god as the later religion. If Jews really thought Christians were worshipping the same god, they'd become Christians. If Jews or Christians really thought that Muslims were worshipping the same god, they'd all become Muslims. Islam came last, so of course they'd have the most up-to-date religion, right? Why would anybody keep the old ways if they actually thought Muslims worshipped their same god? They wouldn't. It makes no sense. Especially because the god in Islam seems quite different to the Christian god. Islam's religious text instructs the faithful to lie about their religion when it suits their needs, for example. Jesus described himself as the truth. Catholics, for example, believe that Jesus is god. Islam says that Jesus is only a prophet. That is a fundamental difference in who they believe is god. Their main religious figures couldn't be more different, either. The Jesus described in the Christian Bible was an educated Jewish holy man. Mohammed was an illiterate pedophile warlord. If a Christian thinks that their god is the same as Allah, then they just haven't thought about it. That is a belief of Islam, not Christianity.

You're not incorrect, but I think there's no reason why a Christian should think Allah is the same god that Christians worship. That belief that it's the same god is a belief of Islam, which is not the religion that Christians follow. The fact that Allah literally translates as "god" is irrelevant, as well. Poseidon is also called a "god", but that doesn't mean he's the same god.

Was Zeus white? I thought that was also the invention of the Europeans at the time.

Most billionaires get their money by exploiting loopholes in the government. For example, they pay no taxes, yet the government will still prosecute people who kill them.

I mean, it’s true that not all climates are suitable for growing trees, but the Sahel area’s climate is historically suitable for growing trees, and according to again some videos I recently watched, there are actually still trees in those areas, but they look like bushes because they’ve been cut down or pruned poorly. A lot of them can be repaired just through careful pruning.

One other way of saying "melt that horse" is "cook that horse." I forget the exact recipe for hide glue, but I think it mostly is a process that involves soaking and heating hide with lime (not the fruit). Also materials that can be used in the production of leather. Anyways, if you cook enough horse and you make enough horse leather in an area with lime, and you're observant enough, hide glue is sort of an inevitable discovery.

This a recent favorite bit about Epstein, that jokes about normalizing knowing Epstein. It’s from legendary comedy writer Jim Downey when he was on Conan O’Brien’s podcast.

I put it here because it kind of tangentially makes a similar point as the main post. A somewhat normal person has no need to explain that they didn’t know Epstein. It’s ridiculous on its face. In fact, a normal person would have to go a long way to explain how they hell they knew him.

But it seems like we can assume that everybody rich and famous, and especially rich, went to his island and committed sex crimes.

I got one a few years ago that had a setting to automatically go to a specified input when the TV started (similar to how normal TVs used to work). My only mistake was leaving the TV connected to the network, as it updated and caused some hassle recently.

Pretty sure they're referring to a Hooloovoo.

I used to be like this. If I started drinking, my filter would start to let the 90% of alternatives I usually rejected before saying anything pass through.

I’d like to imagine that if something like this ever actually happened, the cop would start saying “fog or mist” instead.

I hope so cousin. Otherwise there are more of her out there.

They had to do that because it’s a death cult. A Christian’s goal is to die and go to heaven as quickly as possible, so if they let them commit suicide, then that’s the fastest way to heaven. And then, of course, murder is a sin, or else the best thing a Christian could do is blow up a Christian church while it’s full of worshipers. Actually, since murder can be forgiven, you’d think Christians would be killing each other left and right, just to help the other guy get into heaven faster without them committing suicide. Even if murder couldn’t be forgiven, you’d think a Christian parent would want to kill their children right after they were baptized. Guaranteed ticket into heaven for the kids. Best thing for them. What loving parent wouldn’t sacrifice their soul for their children’s souls?

My evangelical aunt is extremely excited that there are signs the world might end. She’s a huge Trump supporter and a big part of her support seems to stem from his Antichrist qualities. He is going to end the world with war so he is carrying out God’s plan. The whole thing is idiotic. If she wants to commit suicide, she should just do it herself. No need to take everyone else along with her.

One important skill for school is to look at the entire question so that you can understand what the teacher is asking for, even if they don't format the question exactly right. In this case, your answer would not fit into the 6 spaces provided for the answer. So you have to ask yourself what they meant by "Write the following words". Since "the" is the same word repeated twice, once you've written "the" after 5, then I could argue that "the" has already been written. Therefore, if there are only six blanks for the answer, looking at the entire question, I argue that the answer I provided is most likely correct.

1. alphabet
2. come
3. in
4. order
5. the
6. they

This does happen a lot, but have you ever had the opposite happen? Where you go into some of your older code, and not only is it nice to read, but you had anticipated that you'd have to make this change later, and so the design makes the change easy? That's happened to me a few times and all I can say is that it takes days for my self-satisfaction to wane.

I’m not sure what “left wing architecture” means. Because, to me, this looks like the sort of thing you have to do when the population grows like crazy. Those tend to be areas where women have little education and little power.
