    The return of Christ in Sept of 2040

    Hear, hear! Standard procedure for failed predictions of The End. After the Millerites suffered the Great Disappointment back in the 19th century they came up with the notion that on the date they'd specified for our Lord's return, that He had instead gone from the Holy Place to the Most Holy...

    Demonic AI

    That sounds a lot like another sea story. The net-net there is that an AI idol is, in the end, just another idol. Worship of it is essentially no different then worship of any other idol. Stone idols speak through their human devotees, AIs speak through a speaker. What's the dfiference? I...

    If universalism is true then why did God send His Son to die for our sins?

    Maybe because God designed it that way? I mean, if pretty much everyone is going to be tortured in hellfire forever it's because God designed it that way. So if everyone is going to be saved and live forever in bliss, it's also because God designed It that way. Why was it necessary that our...

    Does Christianity support and/or teach racism?

    Correct. "There is neither Jew nor Greek..." and implicitly no differences between other racial and ethnic groups from God's perspective. Various Christian sects have tried to justify racial discrimination based on OT Scriptures, but they had no basis in orthodox Christian thought.

    The Stone God Couldn't Lift: A Paradox

    Obviously God can lie. He simply doesn't. Which is not to say that He cannot do otherwise.

    The Stone God Couldn't Lift: A Paradox

    Can God can create a stone so heavy He can't lift it? No. It's essentially similar to asking if God can do something that's linguistically and logically nonsense. So God can't make a rock He can't lift, He can't make a 4 sided triangle, He can't outrun Himself, He can't pellycabula, He...

    I'll swap you an armadillo for it.

    There once was a bunny

    My grandson was chasing one about as big as my fist in my backyard this very afternoon. The bunny managed to stay out of grandson's reach without too much trouble. And worse, they, a long with the groundhogs and deer, pose an existential threat to my wife's Korean vegetable garden.

    AI As Ouija Board & Familiar

    I'm sorry, but I react to all that the same way I react to one of my co-workers fascination with astrology. "Oh, you're a Pieces/Leo/Popricorn/Somnambulist/Whatever, so you're this, that, and the other.". Right. I'm an old engineer, and like most of my species, don't put much stock, if any...

    Easter Celebrations are Worship of the Sun

    Apparently those who attack the celebration of our Lord's resurrection believe that the first language of all Christians is English. FWIW, in Korean, Easter/Pascha is called the equivalent of "Ressurection Holiday". No way to attach any pseudo-pagan significance to it at all.

    AI As Ouija Board & Familiar

    What does that mean? And what does that mean? In my past 3 score ten plus, I've heard just about every new innovation in anything has been decried as the Mark of the Beast. The last big one was the Covid vacine. "Get the shot and be damned forever!". Right. And if you can't trust your...

    Easter Celebrations are Worship of the Sun

    I'm know a fair bit about other cultures, being blood kin (no more than 3 generations back) to folks from 3 continents and from at least 4 different languages, as many nationalities, and all of whom, save one, confessing Christians. I reckon you can get a goodly bit of insight into other...

    Easter Celebrations are Worship of the Sun

    Nope. Mithraists knocked off Christian beliefs, because they were losing followers to Christianity. What goddess? Where, and by whom? And who cares anyway? Easter is called Easter almost solely in English. Look mate, if you don't want to celebrate our Lord's resurrection, don't. No...
