    A thief wouldn't care about

    My computer has huge amounts of data on it. It's just that a thief would need to break through the encryption to get anything useful from it. If they did steal it they wouldn't get much for it, being over 10 years old. I can recover the data - I keep offsite backups just in case of that sort of...

    A thief wouldn't care about

    I assume you mean things they wouldn't care about stealing? I don't have a lot of expensive things in my house, and to be honest I'm not sure I'd want to post details of what I do have on a public forum :)

    Someone in your denomination who believes differently?

    This is where I sometimes wonder if denominations get too caught up in exclusionary clauses in their statements of faith. I remember one church I visited when I was looking for a church in a new area, that listed a bunch of the expected stuff on their statement of faith (we believe in God, we...

    Pro-life supporters question:

    True, although if a proposal does leave people stuck the chances are it's an indication the proposal hasn't been thought through very well. We know rape exists, we know rape victims sometimes find themselves pregnant, we know some women find themselves facing life-threatening complications, and...

    Who takes out the trash?

    Usually me. One of us gathers it all up but I usually carry the bags out because they can be quite heavy at times. When I've got bags of trash from the house project they can be heavier still. Sometimes I'm pushing my luck a bit with regard to how heavy a trash bag can be before the garbage men...

    Someone in your denomination who believes differently?

    It's hard to say without a specific example of the belief mismatch and situation. If someone disagrees with something that is peculiar to a particular denomination I'd have to ask if it really matters. For example I don't think it's hugely important that we all agree on whether baptism should...

    Why are so many catholic priests pedophiles?

    I suspect it's a simple matter of attracting the wrong types of people. If you have an unhealthy interest in children you'll naturally seek out roles that give you access to children. If you're in a role where you can claim some kind of divine privilege, or where people are reluctant to believe...

    Pro-life supporters question:

    Not in here but in other threads. In other threads, and in other discussions, some people (not you) have expressed a desire to ban abortion outright regardless. In another thread here there was a discussion about a child rape victim who wasn't allowed to have an abortion. I don't think anyone is...

    Pro-life supporters question:

    Both are entirely valid points. It's certainly true that the humanity or otherwise of the unborn is not affected by how it was conceived, although it creates a far thornier situation. If we start from the assumption that the unborn is fully human and has rights, should we override the rights...

    If you do your own laundry

    Little packets of anything seem like a good way to create more waste while reducing the amount of control you have over the situation.

    If old houses are better built than new houses,

    Another difference, not so much related to build quality as general livability, is that old houses were build before concepts like HVAC, mains electricity etc were a thing. Back in those days the idea of an ensuite bathroom was unthinkable and there was very little need for closet space. My...

    Pro-life supporters question:

    Josiah has many good points. Of course the thing that gets overlooked is that it takes - ahem - a certain process to make a baby in the first place and other precautions can be taken up to and including doing less of it in the first place. In fairness the concept of "pro-life" position is also...

    If old houses are better built than new houses,

    I don't think there was necessarily a specific time when the quality took a huge step down, probably more of a gradual degradation. My neighbors had a house fire a few years back. It burned part of the top floor of their home. When they had the work done to rebuild it they asked about having...

    A self-driving car question:

    I guess that would depend on the local laws at the time. It does seem like having a vehicle that can drive you home from the pub if you're not in a fit state to drive is an obvious advantage of self-driving vehicles, if they reach a stage where they are allowed to drive in fully autonomous mode...

    Proof of God For Science Types

    Hebrews makes a claim. A claim does not prove itself. Whether we believe the Scripture or not is unrelated to whether it proves itself. Since you clearly don't understand basic logic there's really no point continuing to discuss with you.

    Proof of God For Science Types

    Hebrews 11:3 proves nothing of the sort. It makes a statement. A statement does not prove itself. Your entire process of reasoning is flawed, full of strawmen, and frankly pointless. Observing that your "proof" actually proves precisely nothing makes no statements of the belief of the person...

    Thoughts on punishment for those who abuse animals?

    Er, OK. I'm not sure how mouse traps that kill instantly even remotely equate to beating animals to death and killing people but whatever.

    Thoughts on punishment for those who abuse animals?

    My traps aren't mouse friendly at all. I'm really not interested in driving a great distance to dump it somewhere unfamiliar to it, I'm quite happy dumping a dead mouse with a broken neck in the trash. In the summertime if it's going to be a week before the trash is taken away I dump it at the...

    Which would you prefer?

    It's impossible to say. As at right now I'd rather stay in my own home than be forced to downsize and share a room with a stranger. But I might think differently when I'm old enough for the decision to be relevant.
