The Shroud of #Turin:it's no longer reasonable to deny its authenticity as the burial cloth of Jesus,given the accumulation of impeccable scientific evidence.I hope this Mega-Thread can act as a resource for other Catholics & others interested in maintaining integrity in science.

Even Jesus got angry. In fact, he whipped bankers in the Temple. The difference is that he was angry in the right proportions, for the right reasons & in the right manner. Absence of anger can be a sin - if seeing an old lady beaten up for her purse doesn't make you mad, there'.
Being angry is a moral failure.

This is all true except the part where they reference "Ronald Reagan's party of moral clarity." This is the kind of easily falsified garbage that paved the way for Trump. Reagan was a monster who knowingly financed death squads that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians.
@rshereme “Donald Trump is unquestionably pro-Putin—and has been for years. He doesn’t merely want to end the war. He wants to end the war on terms favorable to Vladimir Putin. Ronald Reagan’s party of moral clarity has become Donald Trump’s party of moral midgets”. -Steve Hayes.

The only reason he became speaker is because the Democrats were *stupid* enough to undermine Kevin McCarthy. As a result, Maga took control of the last Congress. There isn't a single leader in the Democratic Party with any vision, which is why they keep losing. "Where there is no.
When it’s said and done, Mike Johnson will go down as the worst Speaker of the House in American History.

This is nothing new, really - Trump and his enablers already had blood on their hands when they cut off aid to Ukraine last year, under the last GOP Congress. Trump's followers are ultimately to blame. "Sin, when full grown, leads to death." - James 1:15. We saw this in the.
Reprehensible. If true, the Trump admin will have blood on its hands. Supporters of Ukraine in the GOP, what do you say now? Also, is Bridge Colby and DoD working directly against what Trump said about Patriots at the NATO summit? Seems very "Deep State-the Isolationists'". .

It's worse than that. Trump is deliberately undermining Ukraine, NATO *and* American national security at the behest of Putin. It's clear that Putin's had kompromat on him for a long time. We're witnessing the conscious betrayal of the country. He's slow-walking it & feigning.
The Trump administration is even stopping delivery of Patriots? So disgusting and embarrassing as the “leader of the free world.” I guess we are done with that.

This is exactly what the Pharisees did - they hated the poor passionately and misused religion as a weapon for purposes of wealth and social status. Jesus said they'd "face God's worst punishment" for this hypocrisy- so they murdered him. Many "conservatives" today would do the.
If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, the needy to be called “parasites,” all while billionaires get richer, we’ve profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus’ teachings.

Rod Serling will be remembered as one of the most perceptive writers in American history a half-century from now (and probably another half-century after that). God help us.
50 years ago—on June 28, 1975—Rod Serling dies. "I just want them to remember me 100 years from now. I don’t care that they’re not able to quote a single line that I’ve written. But just that they can say, 'Oh, he was a writer.' That’s sufficiently an honored position for me.”

The disgusting thing: they're trying to legitimize gay marriage & transgenderism.I challenge anyone to dispute the fact that they would've been arrested for doing the same in any classroom at least till 1990. Anyone in agreement should not be allowed in 50 ft of a school.
"Six Supreme Court justices misread my children's book, the author says". Justice Sotomayor called out the conservative supermajority for botching the message of "Uncle Bobby's Wedding." So did its author, in an interview with All Rise News.

One drawback of this is that Iran has been making a lot of poor strategic decisions since the Syrian Civil War. Between the Iran-Iraq war's end in 1988 and that point they consistently made a lot of shrewd Machiavellian decisions that really expanded its latent power. The risk is.
An under looked aspect of the Iran-Israel war is that Israel has prompted generational change in Iranian military leadership. It is hard to overstate how significant this turnover is for Iranian decision-making and how the regime works in general. 🧵.

What its shortcomings are, it can't have failed any worse than Adam Smith did. His unbalanced ideology was being proved wrong even as he wrote, just like Malthus. There is no "invisible hand" - historically, competition has to be maintained by conscious, stringent regulation of.
Today, Norway is hailed as the gold standard of democratic socialism. The “Nordic Model” is held up as proof that big government and high taxes can work. But is that really true?

I've been saying for 30+ years that it would play out like this: Israel and the U.S. would launch a lot of air strikes, provide a lot of pretty pictures of the destruction to gullible media & supporters the declare victory - then have to repeat the cycle every couple years. No.
So we’re going to have to bomb it again in a few months?.

The issue here is that if the Taiwan crisis breaks anytime soon, the U.S. may be caught flat-footed by the Chinese, short of key munitions. It even gives them an incentive to prolong the conflict, maybe by providing better air defense to Iran. For a long time, China's stated plan.
Acting Navy Chief warns US is using missile interceptors “at an alarming rate” in Mideast. Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI): “The latest round of conflict in the Middle East utilized, large amounts of munitions to defend Israel from Iranian strikes. Does the Navy currently have all.

This is why John Bolton has always been an incompetent, one-dimensional foreign policy analyst; he's only consulted these days because Trump ushered in even worse "experts." There is absolutely no hope of "regime change" at this point. Anyone who talks like this reveals how.

This is 100% true about AI. I've also seen the opposite, but only on 2 or 3 occasions, where ChatGPT insisted I was wrong but was clearly in error itself. In those cases it was regurgitating really generic sources and was consequently missing critical information that could only.
One of AI's biggest weaknesses right now is its unwillingness to tell the user off or admit when it's stomped. Just today I sent a birthday message to a friend to which they replied with a somewhat nerdy joke about his "true" age. It didn't land because he got the maths wrong.

I suspected they would do this. They've had 30+ years to prepare for these strikes and know exactly what Israeli and American ordnance are capable of. That's plenty of time to think of backup plans. I wouldn't be surprised if they had tunnels dug as dedicated escape routes and.
@Tendar The Iranians just said that they moved away the uranium and the centrifuges few days ago.,,.Trump gave them too much time.

Johnson is not a "religious fanatic." He's a person who misuses religion for reasons of pride and avarice, just like the Pharisees who killed Jesus. In fact, Jesus said such people would receive "God's worst punishment" as as a result. False Christians in Maga are blasphemers.
