So telling me trump has said hell stop the genocide?

Israel is running for the US presidency?

I don’t mean to be a prude but that seems a little unconventional.

Considering your history, you’re going to need to be a lot more specific here.

Yup, every level of government and regulatory body has been utterly permeated and compromised by the very groups they’re supposed to govern and regulate.

Capitalism is incompatible with democracy.

They think the only thing holding us back from a race war where we kill all the non-whites is our access to electricity.

I think it genuinely doesn’t even cross their minds that the vast majority of all the other people aren’t violent, racist monsters.

This mask smells like poor oral hygiene

Yummy!

Well, its more than one side cares that their candidate might be sundowning whereas the other side wouldn’t care if trump fucked and killed their mum.

Ha, yeah, the format did feel very fitting.

Oh, don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of time to catch up and hang out with whoever you like. In fact, you could spend at million years with everyone who ever existed, individually, and you would still have plenty of time left over…

because its eternity

Then what?

I didn’t mention all the things a person could do but that wasn’t meant to indicate that they couldn’t do other things with their time as, ultimately, they would end up at the same place. Please feel free to swap them out with anything you like.

Fair enough but neither of those match what bible says. It just says heaven is “where gods praise is eternal” which is pretty ominous, if taken literally.

If heaven existed, there’s no reason the presume purgatory must also exist. Especially as purgatory was just made up by medieval monks looking from a new revenue stream. There’s no purgatory mentioned in the bible and only one ruler in heaven.

To me, the version of us that would be ok with eternity would be so far removed from us as to make the line “you will go the heaven” a lie.

Mostly, people find problems with it as they can’t yet fully let go of eternalism.

Some americans will look you straight in the eye and tell you they have free speech and you don’t because we don’t don’t like racial hatred being incited here, without a hint of irony too.

NOBODY needs to be a billionaire

Its the consistency with which they would eat at least a pound of it a week that caused the problem.

Quite how something thats 50% fat can be sold as a health food is the real puzzle here.

“A pound or two each week”

Thats your problem right there. The next step up from peanut butter, in terms of calories (particularly fats) per kg is actual butter or lard. Its about 50% fat.

I imagine the rest is second hand regurgitation of info they dont really understand.

“Can you describe the nature of the unrealness of these bills, as its own thing and not as the absence of something else?”

Just thought the dissection of that particular “weasel word” might help someone out there at some point.

“Brandy made in Germany isn’t “real” cognac. The nature of the unrealness is that it was made in Germany and not the cognac region of France.”

You may disagree but my point here is, right or wrong, you can always describe the nature of the unrealness, unless its being used as a cheap, underhanded rhetorical device.

‘Satan 2 missile’

“Ivan, are we the baddies?”

Sure. If you’ll indulge me, its best explained by a kind of story.

Say you got into heaven and you think “ok, I always wanted to play golf while I was alive.” So, you play golf every day for 10,000 years. Afterwhich, you can play an 18 hole game in 18 shots, one handed. Then you think "well, I always wanted to learn the piano. So you learn the piano for a million years. Afterwhich you can play every song ever written, perfectly, by heart and with your feet. Then you think “ok, well I always wanted to learn lots of things.” So, you read everything ever written. More so, you learn every language ever, so you can read everything ever written, in its original language. This keeps you occupied for a billion years (and I’m being very generous there).

Now, maybe not the first, maybe not the second or third but, by the 7th or 8th hundred, thousand billion septillion years, you might start getting a little bit bored. By the 9th, existence will be indistinguishable from hell and you still won’t be even 0.00000000000001% of the way through eternity.

So, you go to God and ask “hey, I’ve done everything ever. Time means nothing to me. Any amount I spend on something, I can always spend infinitely more on something else. Anything I do, I master. Whats the point? I don’t understand.”

God then replies, its not that you don’t understand. Its that you finally understand the meaning of heaven and now you’re able to accept your own death.

The other alternative is that its eternal worship of God which would be hell. Some claim God’s godness will make that all not true. However, the you that would be ok with eternity would be so far removed from you that it wouldn’t be you at all but something else entirely.

I hope i explained that well enough.

You know!

Now, if you could step round all the Buddhists, Muslims etc. trying to appeal their fate because they “dedicated their lives to helping starving children” and “there’s no way we could have know ln about you” or whatever. Yeah, you should have thought about that before you became a sinner shouldn’t you! Yeah, thats what i thought…

No, no, I don’t care what you did. So long as you’re really sorry for not being perfect,

Like me

, acept me as your God and are willing to worship me forever and ever and ever, you can come right on in. Turns out, ultimately, I don’t care about good or bad that much. I want people who will worship me and tell me I’m good and kind, unlike like those disgusting sinners I’m torturing forever.

“Worship me as a god or ill have you tortured for all eternity.”

Christians: yep, I see no problem with this. Its definitely not an abusive relationship.

The US forces its style of capitalism on everyone who can’t resist them. In fact, the only 2 who can are even worse but we already know China and Russia are bad.

Almost everything your brain decides is affected by things outside of it.

We are a mixture of chemical desires and social + cultural outputs. Free will is an illusion. Its been done. Philosophers did to to free will what they did to God and capitalism.

I just don’t understand why they feel they have to flaunt their religion. Like, we get it, you worship a zombie-corpse God and you really, really dont understand the concept of eternity but you don’t have to make it your whole personality.
