There is one God. I am sure you are familiar with the parable of the blind men describing an elephant.
your blind men not only guess at what they feel by touching the beast
but also guess the will of the beast that they have no clue about
while telling you what they think the beast thinks about sex and love and war
I see any man trying to tell me the will of an invented non-existent god as about the same
fine for you do as you will
BUT
a big problem if you want laws based on rules for goat herders from 3k years ago from the buybull that effect me !
and one in 3 or 3 in one with icon's or not father = son or over the son arian catholic cathar gothic protestants then pick the sub cult and sub-sub-cult or revisions or synods
a small tribe is the only sole worthy group to try to follow the law out of all the nations only them no back up or control group only them nobody else anywhere ever gets the same group of laws and this allows a very brief domination of neighbors some how really never out side the control of egypt until they weaken and fall and Babylon took over then iran then greeks then romans so never free or even any power just losers
only after the failure and corruption is the actual god required to kill itself temporarily to somehow allow magic rule revision of the laws now why this allpowerful allknowing god needs to die and not just SAY new rules is never clear or A NEW TABLET OR 4 and even after doing the cross thing romans burn the city and gods house too a few years later so not much defense
side note the german's who burned rome were christians also just a different cult arians not catholic

This is my belief as well... the whole idea that ANYTHING exists is fascinating. And the fact that space is infinite is also just insane. Our minds conceptualize that everything has a boundary, a border... and what's beyond that border is something else. Some people theorize that space is actually shaped like a doughnut, and it contracts and expands over billions of years in a cycle... that may be viewed similar to flat-Earth theory is now within a few hundred years, who knows. Others think dimensions are what goes "beyond" the boundaries of our universe... so what's beyond dimensions?
It's truly fascinating, but yes... I 100% believe that evolution is the science behind God's creation.

So, I'm not at all bothered by the questioning, and I'm OK that people do not believe. I've had several personal experiences that have absolutely no explainability. To the point that what I've seen and directly experienced are physically and metaphysically impossible. They've come immediately after situations in which I've directly asked God or questioned Him.
I am well aware though that the construct of "religion" is largely man-made, in that, we've created a framework for worshiping God. I also recognize that the majority of Earth's monotheistic religions all share similarities, and even the same individuals. For example, Judaism and Christianity are obvious... but Islam also follows much of the Christian faith and historical story-line. There are some 50+ individuals in the Bible that are also in the Koran. So I also recognize perhaps that all monotheistic religions might be worshiping the same God... and I accept the possibility that as a Catholic, the Catholic religion could just be my culture's way of worshiping the same actual God that other religions do.
What I try to do, is live my life the best way I can. I try to be a good and honest person. I fail at it constantly, but I try. I mean, I'm not stealing **** or punching people in the face or anything like that... but I mean... I try every day to be a better person, and it's all I can try to do. I also hold the belief that we go to the same place when we die... everyone from Hitler to Mother Theresa. So I don't hold it against anyone if they do not believe in Christ, or my version of religion. I think I just try to be a good person, and we'll see what happens.
I do try to remind myself that the most important thing I can do is to leave this place better than I found it. That means both in contribution to society, in the way I raise my children (or daughter in this case), etc. In 50 years, I'll be long gone, and maybe a couple of people will remember me, and eventually no one will care anymore... and that's OK. I don't care about a lasting legacy, but I do want to know that my life had purpose... that I at least made a difference in some way. And that's all I can hope for...
yes the same phyco with the id and super ego medical claims
he said the egyptians who followed king tut's dad's new cult got run out of the river valley over to the so call holyland over time their one god sun god became jaway of the jews then JC then big mo so the big 3 religions are are warpped versions of amon/ra cult of tut's dad https://www.worldhistory.org/amun/
none had to travel far or fast the whole area was a weeks long walk from the other
my point is if there is a god why are there so many cults a god should have a religion a religion not every fool gets to make up a belief system no two alike with tens of thousands of kinds of christian churches in major or minor varations jews split before J C with factions in the buybull listed after J C jew and christians split and there the christians fragmented catholic gostic arian manasomething and others there never ever was a single god backed church just every nut gets to start a cult unless the existing cults war on them and the existing cults sure do war on each other
if there was a god there would be a single god led religion if there is no god everyone gets to make up what ever ie what we see now
A relentless heat dome that has parked over the Gulf Coast region for much of summer reached a climax late last week and this weekend, bringing some of the highest temperatures ever recorded from coastal Texas to southern Alabama. . . .
Underneath the relentless heat dome, the sea surface temperatures of the gulf have cooked, warming more than 3 degrees above the norm for the date.
The water has also heated up far beneath the surface.
In fact, temperatures of nearly 88 degrees (31 Celsius) are common to depths of 165 feet (50 meters) below the surface, according to data posted to Twitter by Kim Wood, a professor of meteorology at Mississippi State University. University of Miami hurricane scientist Andy Hazelton called the ocean heat “other-worldly.”
Water temperatures where Idalia is forecast to track this week are the warmest they have been since at least 1982, according to catastrophe researcher Richard Dixon.
While the Gulf of Mexico as a whole has cooled slightly compared with earlier this month, when it shattered records, it remains near all-time highs.
"Gulf Coast temperatures surge to highest levels ever observed"

Since late last week, both Houston and New Orleans set all-time highs as water temperatures hover in the upper 80s to near 90
You see kids, the con is the repetition of false information. ie: You are being lied to. Taxing the misinformed, for their money, simply. ' I've been in politics for more than forty years, having enriched myself ! ' ~ Biden_Joe, a grifter. fjb for the nuke war he'll start. ' Yeah, fjb a creep '
Patrick Frank Having read, or watched, the many hours of dialog by the scientists presented, do you feel informed sufficiently to make a decision, regarding the pretendadent's political schemes ? Time was, a heckling on the campaign trail would trigger a resignation. Perhaps rotting tomatoes and foul eggs is in order, tossed, to harry the scoundrel from the stage. ' Biden_Joe ! You suck !

It's not a long article. Here's the last two paragraphs:

While the evidence remains inconclusive, the scale of such a shift in climate is worth pondering, he added. In the past, terminations have flipped vast expanses of icy tundra in the Northern Hemisphere into tropical grasslands roamed by hippos, Nisbet said. There is no way to know what a termination could signify today, given that we are not in an ice age. "We're not saying we've got proof this is happening, but we're raising the question."
Regardless of whether termination-scale climate shifts are on the horizon, tackling methane emissions should be high on our list of priorities, Nisbet said. "We can do a great deal to bring down methane," he said, and this includes plugging gas leaks, and tackling emissions from manure, landfill and crop waste.
Another rube who does not know the difference between "hottest single day of year" and "earth temperature". Just like one days rainfall measures the drought conditions for a year.
Waiting for winter when Wichita claims the existence of snows disproves any claims of global warming. "Derp. It is cold outside. That means no global warming. Derp."
That's according to a new essay by "O Harrison" in the Survivor's News, which bills itself as "the most accurate source for documenting the global destruction of the political right."
I guess that means the global destruction that's being perpetrated by the political right.
Misinformed, uninformed, wrong, false. Pete don't know dick. A clown show of incompetents. Halfwits
You see, the fall of the nation is imminent, obviously. Reality is like that, it will always assert itself, truth is not an opinion. Delusional zombies roaming the country seeking food and fuel, after the crash that Biden_Joe intends to implement. Uh oh ! We triggered a depression ! We didn't expect that ! We don't understand what happened ! How many suckers out there will repeat the nonsense we tell them, parroting utter lies ? ' All of the party members will echo the party line, obedient and submissive. ' Would it then be fair to say that they do not support the facts ? Sure, that is true.
Misinformed, uninformed, wrong, false. Pete don't know dick.
Pete is much smarter than the guy who does not even know the difference between "climate change" and "season change". All he did was spew his own opinion with no facts to back it up. You might be able to get away with that if you sound intelligent. But when you say something that stupid it pretty much blows any credibility.
**EDIT** Actually he might be correct about the California high speed rail being a boondoggle, but that is a sperate issue from climate change.

The hottest year since scientists developed confidence in their ability to assign a temperature that represents an entire year. (What else could it mean?)

Cool ! Evolution in action.
Me, not scared.
By the way, 1.5 degrees Celsius means nothing to me. I know the Celsius scale has 0 degrees representing the freeze point and 100 representing the steaming point. Let's see. That would mean ... my mind is not able to put my thoughts to words. I am surprised that both systems have "degrees".
Tell us how you really feel. Translate you mystic ... numbers to degrees. What exactly is the world's yearly records. Year by year by year please. What was it when, just after inventing the internet, Al Gore discovered Global Warming. Why do they not still cal it Global Warming ? Of which you are claiming here.
None of the doom and gloom predictions have come true. None of them !
If man can not handle a different environment, it makes no sense to go to different celestial bodies.
Equatic catalyzes and powers the green economy. Our seawater electrolysis couples carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the atmosphere with the production of green hydrogen at the lowest costs.
"Equatic" is a new name for what had been the "SeaChange" project.
quote
Equatic has developed an electrolytic process for atmospheric carbon dioxide removal that leverages the size and scale of the oceans. The process stabilizes carbon dioxide permanently in the form of dissolved bicarbonate ions (in seawater), and in the form of solid mineral carbonates. Moreover, the process produces hydrogen—a green fuel—as a co-product that generates revenue and clean energy.
I think that efforts (like Equatic) to use engineering to remove large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere are going to be a "thing." It's seen as a way to counteract the planet-warming effects of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and so many other human activities and processes.
I don't think that the efforts to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions are going to have a large enough impact, in and of themselves, to keep the planet from "losing its cool."

Blah blah blah.
Climate Change is the new name for what had been called Global Warming. Yet, the climate zealots can not explain how the warming temperatures change climate. They just say "it does".

The temperatures that are already consistently warmer all around the world than the pre-industrial baseline, and that are clearly locked into a trend of getting even warmer still, absent a significant reduction in atmospheric greenhouse gases, are climate.
This bears repeating.
Climate is the temperatures that are already consistently warmer all around the world than the pre-industrial baseline, and that are clearly locked into a trend of getting even warmer still, absent a significant reduction in atmospheric greenhouse gases.
The already warmer and increasingly warming temperatures all around the world are part of the earth's climate.
So the assertion from cliffw that "climate zealots cannot explain how the warming temperatures change climate," is nonsense. It's an oxymoron.

Without the mass production methods developed by Ford, and cheap coal and oil energy generation, the weapons production of the first and second world wars would have been impossible.
