Any virtuous things non-Christians have ultimately come from God. Non-Christians' lives, like anyone else's, are dominated by whatever they choose or allow to. What they do lack (in varying degrees) is vision and faith acting like

I tried to explain this too, but these airwaves are sadly dominated by people vehemently motivated to buttress the narrative that Christians are or should be against any form of hand washing if they were consistent. I think this case (among

You can wash your hands if you think it is wise to, but don't make it a matter of spiritual, ritual cleanliness that you place trust in the performance of above God as the pharisees did. As you say, God can make the water a worse poiso

Most people think they know they understand by now; the other side is perilously silly at best, or prefers they were dead in the worst case. And they're right so often that this heuristic is too useful not to act on. I don't blame

You're right, there's nothing quite like the acoustics of a beautiful domed cathedral. Thank you!

I personally believe in something like the "Divine Right of Kings" or the "Mandate of Heaven". So basically I think the current ruler of a locale, even a drug cartel in its territory considered criminal by a larger gover

I think that's a worthwhile concern too. How do we know the current authority is legitimate/illegitimate? What if the pharoah is really not a god but behaving more like a devil? What if the most experienced hunter is stuck in his

I was listening to just one episode of a Stacey Higginbotham's podcast about IoT with one of her colleagues on smart cities (one of her articles got featured here yesterday), and it didn't take long for them to lament the use case

I get it; you want to avoid circularity. Unfortunately there's always going to be some in our conjectures, because we're all humans almost always trying to justify some set of implementations of human societies because we like the

I'm trying to imagine a good counterargument to anonporridge's actual stated position. If they're fundamentally wrong about violence as the legitimizing factor of authority, then there has to be some more important/more

I think the poster above is suggesting something much more nuanced than that. I think they're trying to say that the anthropologists do know what they research, to the best of their abilities. However, I think they're suggesting

I think it will have its limits, but the possibilities for editing together, supplementing and modifying products from smaller AI modules should stretch out what you can do on a small budget.

I don't think there's any powerful enough way to stop people from generating one and then tracing over it to create their own linework, and customize things like the colouring and shading. The more broadly AI is able to create, th

BREAKING NEWS: discussion goes nowhere useful when you open by outright telling a person their worldview is deluded, and end on insulting their heroes and family. If I've at all discouraged you from treating other people like this in

I think you have a point about the reactionism... A better gambit than pre-emptively complaining about a small difference in political stances on something like work ethics would be to just champion the virtues on their own, and if an actua

I agree with Waterluvian. I believe feature parity is less important than the basic HCU of a responsive interface for the most basic features. Some of the most recent features they've added, like the "WYSIWYG"ification of the

That's a subtle antichrist attitude, falling in line with Judas' anger at Christ being given expensive ointment, saying it could have been sold and the proceeds distributed to the poor. It is to try to use good principles to spite

I think it's on my end. I think I failed to make a crucial distinction between "will" and "allow" here. God does allow us to do things that go against His will. He is not too weak, but chooses not to use all His pow
