    Thoughts on punishment for those who abuse animals?

    The fact that some animals are easier to raise as pets than others shouldn't automatically make the ones that are not easier to raise as pets eligible to be used as food. People who call themselves "animal lovers" shouldn't raise carnivorous animals. And there are some arbitrary laws that make...

    Thoughts on punishment for those who abuse animals?

    Why do the animals that are not fit for companionship must be used as food for those that are fit? It's absurd to call yourself an "animal lover" and choose as companionship animals carnivorous species that require other animals' flesh as nourishment. If you only care about the wellbeing of...

    Thoughts on punishment for those who abuse animals?

    Any self-proclaimed "animal lover" should be a vegan, otherwise they are a hypocrite. The fact that they randomly choose which animals are for eating and what animals are for companionship seems like a pretty absurd concept to me. Whenever I try to argue with my relatives about the absurdity of...

    Same. I never understood how rain sounds can help other people fall asleep. There are entire audio libraries with rain sounds that people play in their bedroom to fall asleep. It's strange how different people react differently to the same audio stimuli.

    With masks being optional almost everywhere,

    Nah, I haven't seen people wearing masks around here on the street or in stores. Only at the doctor's office I've seen some folks wearing them. Some doctors I've been to wore a mask. Others didn't.

    A $60,000 USD per year salary

    I could get by. It's not ideal, but it would be manageable, I suppose.

    Pilate’s regret

    Why is it needed? It seems counterproductive. Requiring faith from creatures whose entire downfall was caused by misplaced faith seems irrational. What would make sense would be for God to require knowledge and obedience to Him after He revealed everything to us clearly. That would actually make...

    Pilate’s regret

    Why is faith a prerequisite for God's help though? If Earth is under the influence of the father of lies, faith should be the last thing required from humans by God. He should know that satan can deceive people into believing all sort of lies. It was faith in satan's word that made Eve sin in...

    Xavier

    I've seen him around. He also used to post on Twitter, but then his account disappeared for some reason. Some of his stuff is witty, but I think that he is highly overrated. People on humor websites repost him like he's some sort of comedy god, which I don't think he is.

    Are you interested in the latest longevity research?

    There is a lot of research being done in the field of geriatrics with the purpose of finding ways to prolong lifespan. So far, several supplements, such as Rapamycin, Metformin, Calcium AKG, Fisetin, Resveratrol and NADH have been proven to increase lifespan in mice. If you search for books on...

    Twitter to be rebranded as X

    In a rather erratic series of events, Twitter is halfway through being rebranded as X. Musk's domain x.com now leads to Twitter, and the Twitter logo was replaced with an "X". However, the twitter.com domain still works, so the entire thing seems like a mess. What do you think? Is this some...

    Pilate’s regret

    If God made all the rules and set up the entire system to work this way, while being perfectly able to make it work in other ways that didn't involve suffering and sacrifice, please tell me why I must be grateful for being saved. If we can distinguish clear patterns of what psychology labels...

    Pilate’s regret

    Why? And how does Christ's death make our sinful nature cease to exist? It doesn't seem to be doing that. There are Christians who sin less than others and there are people from other religions who sin less than some Christians. So can people from any other religion. If you look into Islam...

    Pilate’s regret

    Again, in the context of an omnipotent God, why? Also, if it could be removed through death, why wasn't it removed as soon as the first man died (Abel)? How can I agree if it makes zero sense? God had to send Himself in a human body and let that human body be killed by other humans in order to...

    Pilate’s regret

    You're right. I don't understand it. Me and billions of other people who find the idea that God has to kill the innocent in order to forgive the guilty absurd.

    Belief in God

    It doesn't say that though. Faith is a feminine noun, while the pronoun used by Paul is neutral. Well, excuse me for questioning a religion that demands everything from me while offering only promises in return.
