    Cognitive Bias and Dissonance

    She was speaking more broadly in the video than morality vx immorality....and I was trying to but used an obvious "gimme" that people would understand. However, my friend that was a catholic is more difficult to understand. He automatically takes a flat reading as an absolute which is a...

    Cognitive Bias and Dissonance

    Y'all need to watch the video on X to understand how pervasive these errant thought processes are and can be. Watch it instead of promoting your favorite pet theology.

    Cognitive Bias and Dissonance

    We. In the course of time train ourselves to think in particular patterns and mannerisms. We believe things because we must...our friends. Our jobs. Our whole lives are built around our personal logic systems. And we see these things as always being true. Nevermind the facts....we do...

    What books are you currently reading?

    Yeah... The older books are not like the newer ones. The older books tend to have more in them with a more condensed writing style than current ones. (And better grammar) Yes, publishing has become easier than ever before...but it hasn't improved the quality whatsoever.

    What books are you currently reading?

    Hey.... Just as a curiosity.... WHERE do you get your books from that you read and WHY do you get them there? Asking for reasons of how to promote book sales.

    Kamala laughs and drinks beer, drops new accent plus more while hurricane victims suffer

    Now contrary to ALL the many reports... FEMA does use a grid system for discovering and distributing aide. And if you actually can find them to check in...you can coordinate with them to deliver all sorts of supplies, emergency Healthcare, psychological counseling and etc. Now Samaritans...

    Kamala laughs and drinks beer, drops new accent plus more while hurricane victims suffer

    Cleanup in the Appalachians is going to take YEARS. It's the mountain roads that are the problem. Mountain roads aren't like Florida roads that are fairly flat and level. These are winding roads carved out of the side of a mountain and the base is completely eroded away. Meaning they...

    Reader Poll - Would you be a Christian if there was no afterlife?

    Would you love a woman that was mostly just ugly in every sense of the word except she brought you a delicious dinner every day? I mean she is rude, hostile, disfigured, unkempt and just generally unpleasant....but....she brings you a delicious meal consistently? Same thing here.

    I miss the days ...

    New Land and societies was what was used to promote immigrating to America...."land of opportunity" has been the promoted ideal for 250 years now. Utopian societies have been tried so many times and met with failure every time we ought to understand the concept of our own inadequacy. Of...

    Kamala Harris: "our undocumented immigrants are least likely to commit a crime"

    It's not that these are immigrants with low skills...nobody really cares about that. It's the volume and number being dumped Into the various communities all at the same time where the infrastructure cannot uphold them. Not enough low income housing, not enough support services and...

    Should Deceptive Political Ads Be Censored (and if so, By WHOM?)

    Interesting video to watch on this subject. https://x.com/Visionaledge/status/1839361806164443494

    IS THE REFORMED FAITH BIBLICAL?

    Elect does not equate to Select. IE: Where the the Selected may include the Elect, it is not a requirement. Kapeesh? (Mispelled to draw Fran's ire)

    IS THE REFORMED FAITH BIBLICAL?

    In the gospel of John the story of "The Man Born Blind" explained this very theology and how it is NOT accurate. Also the ramifications of entering this argument. Which is why so many people do not understand the answer Jesus gave....because they are "blind" to the argument. They toss away...

    Kamala Harris: "our undocumented immigrants are least likely to commit a crime"

    This is why we do NOT allow unregulated illegal immigration. It must be measured, controlled, and systematic. https://x.com/realMaalouf/status/1841601274296320012

    Fear Rules Christianity - True or False?

    Because it is impossible to keep up with EVERY sort of error out there. Especially when there is more truth to learn...and we are occupied with learning truth. I am well aware that Jesus partially quoted Confucious and Buddah and several others...it does not change the fact that Jesus is God...

    Biblical Authority

    That would be better.... This thread is supposed to be centered on who or what has the ultimate authority....the Scriptures or the various Churches. It's a logical fallacy to "appeal to authority" or to use "no higher authority" when its something outside of scriptures....except when you...

    Filling in Scriptural Blanks

    I would say that some people overestimate their abilities to parse Hebrew in a coherent fashion. Basically it's going beyond what was said and using scissors on it at the same time....just to make it say what they wish it to say. It's not very often that I EVER disagree with translators and...
