Man, reading this thread makes me feel like I'm on some pro-christian, fringe, conspiracy-theory subreddit. This is what HN has become? How weird.

The parent is clearly not invoking "uncaused cause," since the parent literally says: > all death is ultimately caused by sin So unless you're saying the big bang was a sin, your comment does not follow the parent's l

It's not a racist way of thinking. It's a fact. Race and heritage play a massive role in the wants and needs of people. Just look at voting records in the US (or any country) and you'll find that racial blocs often vote toget

Yes, and I don't think cryptocurrencies are either. I thought it was clear that this was the object of our disagreement. Going back to the reason for this thread, saying we "missed the boat" on anything does not mean it is a
