Jesus in the bible expressed big disgust towards chrisitans who are passive/apathetic/lukewarm(Revelation 3:15-16 ESV "I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.) But at the same time God made hell and a world with cancer, natural disasters and other tragic stuff. Its like God provokes cynical attitude towards himself and yet expects that people to not develop it ..read more

May 9, 2001 -- Can gay men and women become heterosexual? A controversial new study says yes — if they really want to. Critics, though, say the study's subjects may be deluding themselves and that the subject group was scientifically invalid because many of them were referred by anti-gay religious groups. Dr. Robert Spitzer, a psychiatry professor at Columbia University, said he began his study as a skeptic — believing, as major mental health organizations do, that sexual orientation cannot be changed, and attempts to do so can even cause harm. But Spitzer's study, which has not yet been pu ..read more

I am against taking away liberties from others, unless the idea of that liberty is to make it objectively miserable for others like "Historically slavery in USA for one example" But when i look at LGBT and Religious people, they do seem like nerds fighting other nerds for nerd trophy when you think about it. Sure fighting against harmful policies i am all down with, but when its narrative its a tad bit funny. Like take VICE news on Wolfenstein 2, Wolfenstein 2 is an awesome game and nazis sucks. And i love getting in my comfort zone of uncomfortable and comfortable stuff in games. But then th ..read more

So what is supposed to happen, according to Christians, when Jesus returns? From what I heard, some expect that the dead will rise from the graves and he will judge them (some Christians are even buying gravesites for themselves in the holy land, near the place of his return, so that he judges them among the first), and then he will destroy this world and create the new one populated only with Christians over which he will rule some thousand years. But then some believe that Christians will start disappearing before he returns leaving only their clothes... Is that it ..read more

I had a look earlier at another thread recently posted here in this section, in which polymath exposed a paradox when doing math with infinite series a certain way. I'll reiterate this here: x = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + ... 2x = 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + ... x = 1 + 2x x - 2x = 1 -x = 1 x = -1 But x is supposed to be a divergent infinite series, so the sum can't amount to a finite number (such as -1)! What gives then? I've been reading what other people online had to say about this, and many of them say the issue lies with one of the steps involving an "infinity minus infinity" which is indetermin ..read more
