No one. It evolves naturally.I don't think there is such a society. Who sets the agenda then.
The US absolutely was not. I can't say about the other nations, and frankly I don't care.Yes this is the idea. This is what the US was built on. I disagree that the US and other western nations were not built on Christianity and the bible.
Simple reality is beyond your comprehension? Perhaps you should stick to Aussie politics. Your understanding of US politics and history is extremely poor.The idea that a nation or society of people can be neutral and not rely on a religious or ideological belief about how society should be ordered is unreal. We are by nature moral beings. If its not God and the bible its going to be pagan, or some other worldly ideology and metaphysical belief about how society and the world should be ordered. Which will be imposed on all whether they agree or not.
We just seen the US come out of an era of radical and progressive ideology that was being enforced at the insitutional leveland justified as for the good of society. This was every bit a religious type belief and morality imposed by the State.
The fact is humans cannot detach themselves from morality and belief. As morality lies in the transcedent and of course deeply intertwined with religion. It is a subjective metaphysical belief. That is why opposing sides see the opposing beliefs and ideas as a threat to society and reality itself.
It was radical feminism that made the political the personal and in doing so made it the spiritial. Now we are either for God or opposed to Him. For Christ and against Him. You cannot have a society with conflicting beliefs exist in peace. Its impossible. Your more or less telling people to not live their beliefs whenever they conflict.
The US government does not regulate belief and nothing in that paragraph even argues counter to that. To use your example of abortion, changing the legal status one direction or the other does not change the *beliefs* people have about it. There were major changes a couple years ago and my belief didn't change.Of course they do. The fact is as mentioned there is a ideological and moral basis for the policies and laws made. On one side abortion is promoted. On the other its murder. You cannot seperate politics from morality and belief. The academic ideologues made sure of than when they personalised politics.
No wonder you think it is a strange mix, you are mixing things up in your head.Sorry I mean 'progressive, liberal and socialism (cultural Marxism) is a strange mix. On the one hand there is a liberation and freedom. But on the other restrictions and uniformity of socilaims.
It is still back and forth between some stream or strength of left and of right.I think it use to be more within the center Left and Right. So when each party got in power it was not so different. In fact most people sort of accepted that over a generation each party would have a fair share and it balanced out. The conservatives paid down debt and got business going and the Left Dems or Labor supported the welfare and workers rioghts.
But now that the political has become the personal thanks to academic ideologues and identity politics the Left and the Right have polarised. Voters are divided and polarised. Its tribal and us against them. The opposing side is a threat and the language used is extreme like democracy is at threat, threats of Naxis and Fascism, calls for resistence ect.
The Christian Right declared war on American culture a few decades ago.Its a culture war and way different to a couple of generations ago. Even 10 to 15 years ago. Thus resulting uprising, assassinations and attempts, antisemetism, radical gands rising, threatening and terror related language bcoming more common and a growing acceptence to use violence to stop the opposition.
I'm not interested in your persecution complex projection. This is pathetic Steve, you are projecting your self into persecution in a country where you don't live and there is no such persecution. Here in the US we have entered a month-long season dominated by a Christian religious claim. That isn't anti-Christian persecution. Not in the slightest.Its interesting that instead of acknowledge that there is a growing threat to Christians you turn it around and blame Christians. Thats the exact bias and descrimination that is happening.
Its also ironic that the very ideology that is doing this to Christians claims that they stand up for all minorities who are descriminated against. But it seems everyone and including Muslims over Christians in the more radical fringes except Christians.
Too bad.People choose not to listen or believe Christians when they tell people what is happening and its dismissed.
Transgenderism is the one psychological disorder that depends on everyone else in order to be psychologically healthy apparently.I asked because we can have study battles all day long. I found those kinds of interactions here just aren't worth it. As your study notes what drives suicides; "Transgender individuals have a higher prevalence of depression across several age groups, often due to life experiences that include discrimination, harassment, violence, misgendering, and enacted stigma that may generate poor mental health outcomes and harmful behaviors." The hypothetical was meant to understand at what point would it take for others, who for example, mislabel what they experience as a mental condition. Even if one is take your study as gold, they are calling out the need of post procedure support.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for peace and comfort for all those who knew and loved him.He just passed away. My wife might take tomorrow off of work and we might head to church to meet with our pastor.
If the model is correct, then EM radiation will be concentrated, but that is but the first necessary condition. Other issues are that there isn't much energy in the radio waves hitting the Earth. Also, how does the focusing work with angle of entry for the EM waves? I haven't been able to read the article as I've had problems with the proxy server from home and I don't read this site from my office, but from the popular article they only show downward EM radiation.So if you saying its not an issue or if there was an issue with being able to field test the model. Why cannot the model stand on its own legs as the support for the potential for energy generation. Why can't this be the basis for how the Egyptians could generate certain effects that they utilised.
This whole paragraph was full of words I didn't use or imply.Ah why does the material science verses transcedent immaterial knowledge come down to teleology and agency. I find this interesting. The creatures conscious choices are made out to be coincident or epiphenomena to the material. Everything has to be coincident or accident. There can be no purposeful knowledge.
Not at all. To intentionally build the pyramid as an radio wave concentrator and collect electric energy from it would require knowledge of electromagnetism. There is no evidence that *ANYONE* knew about EM until the modern period.Why, because as you say its 4,500 years ago and there cannot be such knowledge at that time. So it has to be a coincident. An accident lol. The problem is the accidents and coincidents are building up and its looking beyond a mere blind accident. Your underestimatig the Egyptians and humans as a whole.
Your claim that they did not know about FM waves and all that is a subjective and person opinion based on your worldview today that all knowledge must be seen the way modern western science sees it.
There is no way to "experience" radio waves. None.As I said earlier I don;t think the ancients knowledge was like academic scholarship knowledge. Or Enlightened knowledge. It was more direct experiential. They lived closer and in harmony with nature and reality. So they actually experienced what they discovered and then utilised.
The built them so they pointed "up"? So what?All their attention was to reflect the natural geometry and forces within everything they did. That is why everything is aligned to the skies and nature.
Nah. Stuff like this doesn’t make people racist. It just gives racists an excuse to indulge.It is this type of rhetoric that breeds racism.
You are well named! Just keep digging yourself deeper into error.1Thessalonians5:9 says before God's wrath is poured out.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
You would not know of either of them, nor are they of the Roman Catholic Faith -Names?
Hi Owlette!Hi all, hope life is treating you all well! Doing great here. We just got our Christmas tree up this weekend, and it just snowed a ton, so I’m happy!I now have a nearly 1 year old daughter, it’s going to be fun to show her the snow!
Great to see you again! I'm glad you're doing well and enjoying the snow! Are you and your family enjoying the Christmas tree? I'm going to start putting up the Christmas decorations tomorrow! I have been on there. I am going to check the group coaching out today.Thank you for sharing! I have scrupulosity as well. Fear of blasphemy is a very common obsession for Christians with religious OCD. I have found the blog articles at Scrupulosity.com to be very helpful. There are articles about committing the unpardonable sin on there, so you might find that useful. I am also part of the group coaching program on that website, and have found that to be helpful and encouraging as well.
As I've said before, I would bet that the orders as vetted by Pentagon lawyers skirted actually saying "kill everybody.Pete Hegseth denies he gave orders to ‘kill everybody’ on alleged ‘narco-boat’
Defense secretary called reports about his role in strike as ‘fake news’ intended to discredit US military
The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has declared recent reporting that he may have illegally ordered all people to be killed in a military strike in the Caribbean as “fake news” on Friday evening, adding that the series of strikes of people on boats had been “lawful under both US and international law”.
I didn't do it, but it was legal!
Adm Frank M “Mitch” Bradley, head of Special Operations Command, reportedly ordered a second strike to kill the two survivors to comply with Hegseth’s orders.

what do all these verses mean?
That’s one way to interpret it.So, you're saying I'm a fake Republican, and I should be cut off from the Church?
25,000 dead soldiers just last month. Joe Biden said he would permit a small incursion and there have been over a million casualties, many civilians.By letting Russia have what it wants in Ukraine. How clever!
Even though your statement "ancient near east (ANE) interpretation of creation" is hypothetical....what does that have to do with Creation given to us in Genesis by Moses? Its not like he made Creation up...the information was given to him by God. Do you think God had a ancient near east interpretation of Creation?For a big part of my life I have been confident in the young earth creation model but one thing that has sort of been a sticking point for me is the ancient near east (ANE) interpretation of creation. It was first pointed out to me in talking about day 2 of creation, the idea that the writer is making reference to a solid firmament. It is further reasoned that the people in those days only knew of a flat earth cosmology, so they were just speaking in terms that everyone would understand. Just because they got something wrong does not mean God’s word is not true. It’s not a science textbook after all. And I have thought about this and wondered if there is any validity to it. The other thing that has really captured my attention is ideas surrounding behemoth and leviathan found in the book of Job. I have been persuaded that these are references to dinosaurs until I saw this video of Ben Stanhope’s critique of Answers in Genesis. He makes a compelling argument that these are descriptions of a mythological creature that symbolizes a false god, such as the followers of the Canaanite deity Baal. The comparison may have been a way of showing people that the true God is omnipotent and has no fear of them. And while I may want to entertain the idea that humans lived alongside dinosaurs, it is a weak argument to suggest Job makes mention of it.
It leads me to ask, if I am wrong on these things, what else am I wrong about? Most people who espouse this view about creation week, saying that it was a polemic to the pagan nations who say their gods took part in creation, tend to also be theistic evolutionists. In a wikipedia article “Firmament” it reads,
But one thing I found interesting is that John Hancock believes the ancients did believe the earth was round.

Maybe the way to reconcile this is to say that philosophers in those days were more split on the issue and many thought it was flat before the time of the Middle Ages.
But if I cede the argument and say it had an ANE context, wouldn’t I be inconsistent to still believe in young earth creationism (YEC)? I have argued before that the Bible is inerrant and infallible and that no contradictions exist, only apparent contradictions. And I do feel in some way it would be a compromise to say that the Bible was wrong about the firmament being a solid dome that separated the heavenly waters above. I understand that the Bible is not a science textbook, but I believe that it has to be right whenever it does talk about science.
Perhaps a Herculean effort on your part to not connect desire to lust?Indeed, membership into Mensa, IQ of 130 or higher, isn’t a prerequisite to “connect the dots.”
Those “dots” involve the conspicuous absence from those verses in Genesis of Eve lusting. As I illuminated previously, there are at least 3 words if not 4 words in the Hebrew for lust and lusting
False accusations against me is not an answer to questions put to you. All you are doing is attempting to make a false accusation against me because you have no answers. Carnal minds do things like this to avoid being cornered by the truth. If you really want to be a law keeper then you had better keep the whole law because if you offend in just one point of the law you are guilty of all.You can mock God where His Friend Abraham is concerned if the spirit in you leads to such behavior.
I would remind you that Abraham is dead, and will remain that way, because HE sinned, just as the Righteous God of Abraham says. And Abraham, like all obedient, Faithful Servants of God died in Hope that the Lord's Christ, whose day Abraham saw and was glad, will return one day, and raise Him from the dead.
That you would exalt yourself over Abraham, judging him as an adulterer, a judgment that neither God, nor Moses, nor any of the Prophets, nor Jesus nor any of the Apostles of Christ made, suggested or even implied, is proof positive that the Spirit that guided them in their discourse concerning Abraham, is not be the same spirit as the one directing your preaching concerning him.
You are free to continue in your judgments against Abraham, which are contrary to God's Judgments of Abraham, if your human heart directs you to. But I don't have to partake in them.
So long.
In your febrile imagination.No there wasn't as there's no such thing as curvature on earth.
