Because the teachings of the Bible are not required to be coherent with eachother. It is detrimental if they are because it reduces the flexibility of interpretation. A good dogma, can always be interpreted favorably regardless of the situa

To make it crystal clear, this is part of the comment that started this thread: > But being scared of the air is certainly not something Jesus would have been. In other words, a 76 year old man, 1 year away from retirement, the period of

And that paragraph of mine was in response to this paragraph by JetAlone: > 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 a

For your first paragraph, the airwaves are not filled with anything. There is no narrative that Christians are or should be against hand washing. Betterunix2 made a comment referencing an unrelated passage showing intentionally poor hygiene

What you stated is intended in perfect accordance with the Christian doctrine of various denominations. And if you can believe this, you will indeed live a happier more purposeful life. But not everyone can do that. Unfortunately, this comm

I am not ignoring context at all. The context was: > The modern day godless neo-pharisees ...... want to maintain the social order they're scared of having overturned by a just man willing to make a real sacrifice ....... Who is thi

Other than an adjuvant developed by NIH to increase the efficacy of Covaxin I do not see why you claim Covaxin itself was developed by NIH. AFAIK it was developed by Indian agencies. Other than that, I agree with this comment. But it is no

Do you have anything in support of the claim that it is less likely to cause damage from the spike protein? A inactivated Sars-cov2 vaccine contains the spike protein just as much as the actual disease. The mRNA vaccine leads to the product

We absolutely can wipe it out with suficient motivation and the current impefect tools, regardless of the existence of animal reservoirs. It is just more difficult, but absolutely possible. I agree however, that nuanced discussion has been

For one, vaccine tourism is a thing, so people with the neccesary resources can go and get an alternative. Is there really a popular demand in the USA for the Indian vaccines? You are the first person I hear demanding access to an alternati

Who is that "just man willing to make a real sacrifice going against its grain in a sorely needed fashion" threatening to overturn social order? Also, hand washing is a matter of cleanliness period. Not spiritual cleanliness, not

Since we are discussing religion, lets invoke the problem of evil and see what theodicy GP comes up with. What kind of god, with the ability to completely cure a horrible disease with a simple gesture, instead goes arround and publicly heal

Why would you be scared of anything when you are God? Fear of disease is a normal biological response present in many other animals. The fact that we manage to overcome this fear through social conditioning is laudable because in several ca

The notation the author complains about looks like a broken polish (prefix) notation with added parens. Your notation looks like a very bizare mix of infix arrangement postfix (RPN) behaviour plus added parens for good measure. RPN has plen

It's about calculating risk and taking responsibility for that risk. Every person does it for themselves. You only soldier on if the predicted payoff is big enough, or if the estimated risk is small enough, or if you simply ignore the

Why do they not allow him to teach remotely? Have all the students in the classroom and have him appear on a projector screen and interact with the class that way. This would solve the Covid exposure risk for him. It would solve the various

I disagree. I consider practical limitations and legal limitations to be not be a subset of the other. They are separate, and the respective freedoms are both important. And I dispute your claim that in the rom hacking community something &

The way I see it, Stallman is an end user freedom maximalist with end user roughly meaning person sitting in front of a computer using software. Thinking like this, any obstacle blocking a user from complete control of the computation on th

Assuming you are correct that the app keeps a history, your argument is still bullshit. Requiring physical access and unlocking of the phone is not at all comparable to having a server somewhere storing such data.

Yes you are seing a pattern. The same way a neural net will classify a sofa as a leopard. It also saw a pattern. And in both cases the level of confidence is maximum. But wrong.

Off topic. Why aren't content access permissions for extensions domain based? You either have to grant access to all sites, grant access to a predefined list of sites, or not install the extension. I want certain extensions to only hav

The UI changes are very disruptive to other people. As an example, think all the people who for decades placed the taskbar on the side. Also, the bullshit minimum requirements are obviously about pushing DRM.

First of all, plenty of drug research and patents are actually done in order to develop variants that avoid other patents. Patents in the drug industry are mostly a parasite producing more patents. Secondly, plenty of research is publicly f

The narrative that was debunked was the "engineered in a lab" variant. This is what was debunked because this is what was pushed by conspiracy theorists at that time. This narrative had various claims: that Sars-cov2 contained bit
