Apologies to my new followers who I haven't followed back yet - I've hit the 5000 following barrier, & I'll have to do a cull. ☹️

Yes - and that psycho bastard who shot up Christchurch didn't do it in Australia (where he came from) precisely because he couldn't have done it in Australia, because of the gun restrictions already there.

was put to the Gnirut test by a suspicious algorithm, and, while I thought I had passed it, I can no longer use the account.
If Jesus can rise again from the dead, then maybe I can too - to Twit again. So, here is my new account.

I don't understand it myself, but I'm going to vote YES, because people I admire & respect are advocating for YES, while those who are advocating for NO, are those sort of people that I hold in contempt.
Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk, on refusing to play in Saudi Arabia.
"In a few days, I'll lose two world titles, one after another. Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia.
I refuse to play by special rules, wear an abaya, or be accompanied by a man so I can get out of

Makes sense to me ...
How about this, then:

"Α Ω"

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the LORD, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the ALMIGHTY."

Absolutely right, Jane.
One thing that is true, but rarely mentioned, is how readily the private schools will expel students who break their rules & don't fit in. This, plus their selective intake (it's not ONLY $$), greatly aids their role in curating the Upper Class.
@mdnij34
YES!
Speaking as someone who's in a relatively safe country on the opposite side of the planet, I still don't want the USA to be a festering bed of infection, endangering the rest of the world, for years to come!

What you wrote is false.
I have lived >50 years in Australia (& remember Hoddle Street, Queen St, Milperra, as well as Tasmania, of course).
Removal of easy access to guns has undeniably made mass random murder much more difficult here.
We can't prove that there is no god, just as we can't prove that there are no leprechauns.
But (we believe) the non-existence of such is a reasonable hypothesis, given the complete lack of evidence for any such things, and the ridiculous of their proposition.
Whereas ...
Most atheists I’ve talked to admit that atheism can't be proven. But then how do you know atheism is true? The Christian’s hope is firmly founded on the witness of the Spirit, the arguments of natural theology, and the evidence for Jesus' resurrection.
@BeatTheCult
It will be whichever most of "our people" move to.
A question of "critical mass".
For we atheists & anti-religious, we'll also probably need a few of our opponents, too, or it will quickly get as boring as Heaven.

Do you want to know a SECRET about black box recordings? Something the Satanic media would never report to you? In those final moments - each & every time - you’ll hear praying. Who are they praying to? GOD. No one else.

A book everyone should read (after they've read their history) is this one:
@healthbyjames
That sort of thing is done, in medical trials, when the efficacy (& safety) of the treatment has become unequivocal, and it is recognised that it would be wrong to continue to deprive the people in the placebo group of that benefit.
@Gutsick_Gibbon
It's very rare to find someone who has actually read it, even among professional evolutionary biologists.
Which is sad, as it's certainly worth reading.

@BrisMarSci
That list is very "white".
How about Mugabe, Idi, Bokassa ...

And, for total notch-count, Helmsman Mao.

Your faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Now, where did I read that ? 🤔)
If you'd like to prove the atheists wrong (&, assuming, for the sake of argument, that you are correct), all you need to do is produce God.
Simples. 😀

In the first kind of case, the pregnancy is wanted - as will be the baby. We look forward to the happy event, and wish everyone well.
In the second kind of case, the pregnancy isn't wanted, & nor would be a baby.
The sooner terminated, the better.
Simples. 🙂
"A matter of time" ...
Let's hope it's soon, but remember, the Islamic fundamentalists have been in power there 44 years. That's nearly two generations.
Iranian woman dances in Azadi square in Tehran, with no hijab. A double crime in the Islamic republic. The fall of this evil regime is only a matter of time.

During sex a man's penis sucks out some of the woman's DNA and stores it in one of his balls (The other contains sperm).
The non-sperm carrying bollock contains the DNA of every woman he's ever slept with, and if he goes into double figures he is flooded with Oestrogen.

Lucky you !
You're getting my new computer, all set up over the last 3 days, with all the useful software, & dual boot into Win 10 & Ubuntu Linux.

I remember reading the legend that Buddha's mother died soon after he was born - because, after giving birth to a Buddha, a woman could have no further purpose to remain alive.
This link has a lot of info about Bud's birth, & his mother:

I feel rather embarrassed by her - like (if I were American) I would be embarrassed by Sarah Palin or Lauren Boebert.
Irritating voice, too.
I put easily 4 times as much effort into composing these pure science videos, yet they get only half as many views as my counter-apologetics stuff. This one took me at least 32 hours just to do the video editing alone!

It's not an Academia/Outside World thing.
At my last job before going to University, the store manager always had one of "the girls" bring him his coffee.
My PhD supervisor took excellent care of all his students, in all ways, and was a true friend, as well as academic guide.

I think that he may have travelled to a future in which National Health no longer exists, and has seen what it's like.
Take heed of what this man says.
