    Eclipse and the Rapture

    Apparently some Christians are under the impression that the Rapture will happen tomorrow in conjunction with the solar eclipse. https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/rapture-isnt-real-and-the-eclipse-is-just-an-eclipse/ Are you prepping?

    If Christ wasn't the messiah, what was he?

    Hi Anthony, @rubi hasn't been online since August 31st, so I suspect he may not reply. It's helpful, though, if you want to reply to someone to hit the Reply button on their post. That quotes their post in your reply and will send them a notification (if they check them) that you've responded...

    If Christ wasn't the messiah, what was he?

    I wasn't saying they are. He opined that most Christians are Christians because they were raised in Christianity. And yet he's Jewish and he was...raised in Judaism. Just like most people who inherit the worldview of their childhood. That was my point.

    The Supreme Court will decide if Donald Trump can be kept off 2024 presidential ballots

    This is why I question whether the law is even applicable to the Presidency. There is no single district in which the President holds office. He holds office in all of them. Something for lawyers to hash out, I suppose. I continue to doubt if anything will happen legally if Trump is elected.

    The Supreme Court will decide if Donald Trump can be kept off 2024 presidential ballots

    The President holds his office across all districts. He's just as much the President in my district in California as he is in the District of Columbia. I can't think of anyone else whose legal scope would apply to a federal office holder aside from the AG.

    The Supreme Court will decide if Donald Trump can be kept off 2024 presidential ballots

    The Presidency is not an office of just DC. It's a federal office over the entire country. So I doubt that sort of case would be a local DC district issue.

    The Supreme Court will decide if Donald Trump can be kept off 2024 presidential ballots

    I wouldn't hold your breath. If by "US District Attorney" you mean the federal Attorney General, I suppose you could make the case that this law applies analogously to that person for federal office holders. But the AG is appointed by the President. So if Trump becomes President, he'll appoint a...

    Is it possible that Christianity is true, yet the Bible contains errors?

    If my point was so "stupid," ie obvious, then you shouldn't need to argue with me. Yet here you are...? This has nothing to do with anything I've actually said. No one is trying to "separate the heritage of Judaism from Christianity." My point was simply that the Christian canon we today call...

    Is it possible that Christianity is true, yet the Bible contains errors?

    Christ fulfilling prophecies of the Hebrew Scriptures is irrelevant to the point that Christianity predates the writing of the New Testament, much less its canonization. And of course, Judaism existed before the Hebrew Bible was written. One has nothing to do with the other, as far as I can...

    California Democrat calls for $50 minimum wage

    Two things can be true at once. Antitrust laws are enforced - perhaps you'd like then to be stronger, and that's fine as far as it goes. That doesn't change the basic mechanism of what happens when you increase costs on businesses. This isn't some "ideal," that's what actually happens. It's been...

    California Democrat calls for $50 minimum wage

    No answers to my questions, I see. Your misunderstanding of basic concepts will continue hindering the conversation. Prices are not set arbitrarily by "billionaires." They're a function of the value of a good or service - supply and demand, mediated by regulatory requirements. When you increase...

    California Democrat calls for $50 minimum wage

    How much? Were they entry level? The cost of living is very high already here. Businesses respond to minimum wage hikes by raising prices and hiring fewer people. This is basic economics. We already have a minimum wage here of $16. It'll be $17 next year. Yet the cost of living is still a...

    A question for all religious believers -- why is your religion more true than any other?

    Oh for goodness' sake. :rolleyes:

    A question for all religious believers -- why is your religion more true than any other?

    Ah okay, I thought not. ;) Firstly, where did you get the idea that all philosophy prior to, say, the 18th century was predicated on nothing but philosophers' "intuition?" Secondly, modern science didn't just historically "evolve from" philosophy. Science itself is a brand of philosophy...

    A question for all religious believers -- why is your religion more true than any other?

    It's not clear to me whether you're engaging in it or not. Are you? ...you're aware science is predicated on philosophy, yes? Without logic, the "institution of inquiry" you're referencing collapses in incoherence. The one needs the other.

    A question for all religious believers -- why is your religion more true than any other?

    I didn't accuse you of scientism. I asked if you wanted to defend it. You can always say no. I don't want to derail the current thread. Science, too, is prone to human error, yet those humans errors don't stop us from recognizing its value to help us arrive at accurate views. Logic, done...
