That's your truth. No matter how many times it's repeated it will never become more than that.

The key to being a truth seeker isn't constantly telling people you're right and they're wrong. Your entire attitude in these threads is completely off-putting, even to those who are already converted. I'd suggest you consider other ways to present Christianity because, IMO, you're hurting...

I've been using it extensively for two years to write statistics and machine learning code in python. I was never able to get over the self learning hump with coding before Chatgpt hit the scene. Now it's replaced most of my Google searches. Why hunt for the answer when I can get the machine to...

Good call. This movie offered me nothing. In fact it had negative value by making Charlize Theron look bad.

I wonder if he had a difficult time writing this about his mother. I mean, I get why he said it, but such a harsh thing to say about someone you love. BTW, agree with JMK as top dog and would argue he's the best lyricist of his generation too.

This is a very peculiar response and I'd argue it inadvertently admits to a person's "Truth" being dependent on where they're born.

Please show your roosters so we can get a sense of what's going on here.

New ATH. :hifive:

This doesn't answer my questions in any way.

Here are a couple scenarios for the Christians here. Imagine you had a Muslim knock on your door who wanted to introduce you to their religion. What would be your response? Would you be open minded about what they had to say? How about if your child's friend invited them over for Buddhist...

We're probably on the same page, but I'm having a negative reaction to your use of the phrase "I think he's trying to get Christians to." I'm a BE junkie and I've never felt he was trying to do anything other than be a historian and teacher of the New Testament and early Christianity. I don't...

I don't think it's mere coincidence that the political division and broadening out to the extremes occurred during the expansion of social media. I've been saying for years that it, along with cable news networks, are leading us down a dark and ugly path. Twitter is as toxic as it gets.

If you haven't seen them, you'll probably like the Jordan Peterson vs. Sam Harris debates. This interview by Brandon McGuire (Christian) with Alex O'Connor (atheist) is good too. Far more sophisticated discussions than the Maher/Kirk exchange, where both let some easy pitches go by.

I'm curious what you liked about their conversation.

I'm curious how/where you see it going. Hopefully more optimistic than the responses so far.
