More of an expert than you apparently. I am replying based off biblical scholarship (hence my qualifiers of most Christians). I am aware that your version of Christianity is very niche and has very little corroboration with current biblical scholarship yet you divulge non-sequitur like they are...
Actually the Bible is fairly explicit that homosexuality is not immoral, but that homosexual "acts" are sinful. In the Talmudic tradition (or rabbinic law) the denizens of Sodom were more guilty of the "not being hospitable" to newcomers rather than any type of sexual deviancy. Christians get...
That's interesting, most Christians would infer from Genesis 22:1-19 we are to place blind trust in Yahweh's invisible plan through an impossible ethical standard that's actually harmful in most respects. That still doesn't dissuade from the fact that the Bible has instructions to proselytize...
Matthew 28:19-20 NKJV
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Mark 16:15 NKJV...
Trump ran on a populist message that the American people like, yet essentially lied to their face as he has demonstrably filled his cabinet with Wall Street insiders. I think the identity politics that everyone seems to circle jerk themselves off to on YouTube is just the current outrage fad...
Yes and I love it. It just gets better the more you watch and it seems to come into its own mid 1st season.
It tackles some interesting issues and is basically what I expect from a Star Trek show. I can't wait for the 2nd season.
I know the Ticonderoga class cruisers are armed with the AEGIS missile defense system and that ballistics package can only target an ICBM in launch or approaching apogee.
As far as I'm aware the only thing we have against a missile past apogee in full descent is the THAAD system and those...
I think I can sum up the issue succinctly:
I think that: The Internet is a public utility formed by the users and groups that inhabit the internet. The point of net neutrality is to prevent ISPs (and government agencies but they can't directly get in the way anyways) from dictating how one uses...
Except that is hasn't come out of nowhere; the debate has been going on since 2005 and has been heavily lobbied by corporations since then. Why? It all comes down to actually putting Quality of Service configuration on regional gateways which again are controlled by the LECs, not the ISPs.
The...
The problem is even if there are laws on the books to make it hard for new ISPs to form, the main issue I see going forward is that it's more profitable to be the local exchange carrier and do none of the vrf or customer interaction and just collect money from the ISP to run their services...
I'm a network administrator so I'll tell you why this is bad from my perspective and why the arguments for repealing net neutrality are myopic at best. Let me start with the "cons" of net neutrality as I've seen made:
More regulations would create slower access. This argument fails because it...
This may be an overstatement, but the only concern I have with this mode of thinking is the possibility into falling into one of the many echo chambers on the internet and in life. While I do choose not to engage at times using the manner you describe, I try to be fully cognizant of where the...
