Met a few ex terrorists. Northern Ireland is cool.

🤫 that’ll upset our precious 1%

Good for affordable housing?

religious nutters.

Yes. Specifically the nutters.

Xmas started out as the Winter Solstice and was co-opted by Christians.

No. Christmas is on the 25th of December. The Solstice is the 21st

Halloween is also a Christian holiday. Both are being run by capitalists these days.

It’s a shame how Christmas has become a commercialised hellhole due to secularism instead of being what it originally was: a Christian holiday. It’s always more fulfilling to get back to the roots of it, many churches hold special events for it.

Halloween is similar. Unfortunately, Protestants barely observe the religious aspect.

Didn’t someone say that AI would be better at replacing the CEOs?

I mean, officially the Republic of China is still China and the people there can be described as Chinese. It’s just not controlled by the communists. So I’m not wrong (assuming you’re taiwanese). I couldn’t tell if the screenshot was Traditional or Simplified. Ironically, the only character I know to look for in order to tell the difference is 国/國

A fair amount of zhongguoren on here

Bro just get married

Oh lol, that’s quite funny

Voting system where you only get to vote for a single candidate on the ballot. Basically always means people will vote for the “least worst” candidate

First past the post has entered the chat

The idea of a creator and universe-sustaining God being evil is completely illogical

This is a silly post. The Christian doctrine is that the Bible is the inspired word of God. So if Christianity is true, then yes, the Bible is reliable. Most of the doctrine in the Bible is by God (Jesus is God) or a guy Jesus appeared to in front of two other people and also prophesied to someone else that he should do missionary work. Also gave him His holy spirit to the point he raised dead people to life.

Inventing stuff is quite tricky when a lot of Jesus’ preaching was in crowds which carry numerous written testimonies

That’s completely and historically not true. Popes as we know them generally came about centuries later, by that time the New Testament was already in wide circulation (it was being widely circulated in three continents by the beginning of the second century so editing it after that point would have been impossible)

I think I’m one of the more well known religious folk on this place, and I am also a bit of an AI doomer.

I think the way some people want to use it is satanic.

Revelation 13:14-15 ESV

and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.

deep.

I knew someone who came to the UK as a student from Nigeria, which used the same timezone as British Summertime. His phone was still on Nigerian time and it took until monday when he realised that people weren’t at the bus stop and the bus was an hour late that he was living his life in a different timezone

Some people have a mixture of both and don’t know which clock is right or not
