Does it really make sense: a super mind was alone and bored forever, and then for some reason one day created an experiment to lord over and play hide and seek with? Doesn’t it make more sense that a universe came first, and minds are things that evolve in universes? If you ask what or who created the universe and you answer “god”, there is then the problem of who or what created “god”. How could you have access to that knowledge and reliably demonstrate this being’s existence and nature? Which god? Could “god” be an unconscious force, the sum total of the universe, or just advanced alien life? Could god be mortal and dead now? Could there be an afterlife and no god and vice versa? Don’t omnipotence and omniscience conflict logically? Doesn’t god explain complexity with more complexity, a mystery with a bigger mystery? Isn’t this a non-explanation which merely shifts all the same questions from the universe to “god”?

Ji9m Crow laws were state and local statutes enacted in the Southern United States from the late 1870s into the 1960s that enforced racial segregation and disenfranchised African Americans.  The term originated from a 19th-century minstrel routine performed by Thomas Dartmouth Rice, where he portrayed a derogatory caricature of a Black man, which eventually became a slur and a label for the system of white supremacy. 

Hmmm, do you believe what Jim Bakker believes or what Stephen Hawking believes?

Why does God allow scammers? Based on historical scams, Barry Minkow is considered one of the biggest con preachers, having used his position at San Diego Community Bible Church to embezzle over $3 million while also running a $100 million Ponzi scheme in his earlier life. Others frequently cited include Jim Bakker, known for massive fraudulent fundraising in the 1980s.

Actually, smart people know that.

As of March/April 2026, the total U.S. national debt has surpassed the size of the entire economy, with the debt-to-GDP ratio exceeding 100% (roughly 120-125% when including all obligations). This marks a historic milestone, with debt-to-GDP reaching levels not seen since World War II.

We need to do what President Eisenhower did, a 90 percent top tax rate.

Why does God allow cancer? I became an Atheist at 11 when my 7 year old cousin died from leukemia.

Isn't 86 Trump's IQ?

The assertion that climate change is not yet a science is incorrect; climate change is a well-established scientific field with over 150 years of research and a 97% to 99% consensus among climate scientists that human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, are the primary cause of current global warming.

1. Established Facts: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and major scientific bodies like NASA state that human influence on the warming climate has evolved from theory to established fact since systematic assessments began in the 1970s. 
2. Scientific Basis: The greenhouse effect, understood since the 1850s, is driven by gases like carbon dioxide that trap heat; atmospheric CO2 levels have risen by more than 30% since 1958, a rate 100 times faster than any natural cycle. 
3. Evidence: Scientists use instrumental data, historical records, and physics-based models to confirm that observed warming is not due to natural cycles, solar activity, or volcanic activity, which have either remained stable or moved in opposite directions to the observed temperature rise.

While scientists acknowledge that climate models cannot predict every specific local weather event or definitively weigh all economic costs, the core science confirming that human-caused greenhouse gases are warming the planet is robust and uncontroversial within the scientific community.

According to reports, William T. Kelley, a late marketing professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, reportedly described Donald Trump as the "dumbest goddamn student I ever had". This comment was recounted by Frank DiPrima, a friend of Kelley, who claimed the professor said it many times.

In 2019, Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen testified before Congress that Trump told him there were no medical records for the bone spurs and that he had no surgery for them. Cohen quoted Trump as saying, "You think I'm stupid? I wasn't going to Vietnam".

Hmmm, People who have regular orgasms seem to have less stress and enjoy lower rates of heart disease, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and endometriosis.

Well stated.

Quite simply the vast majority of the Bible is fake news - not myth and not history: e.g. there's is zero chance that Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon converted to Judaism and issued a death warrant for enemies of Judaism. There is zero chance the High King of Egypt was defeated by an omnipotent deity drowning his soldiers. There is zero chance there was a King Solomon with 700 wives and 300 concubines.

i.e. the Tanakh ("Old Testament") in particular is the work of malevolent liars - not pious theologians/poets and not historians.

I think Trump's next book will be titled, The Art of the No Deal.

Well actually Putin got Trump to get the US debt to $36 trillion. While unlikely to cause an overnight collapse, the USA's high national debt—surpassing $36 trillion and 122% of GDP—poses a severe, long-term threat. It risks reducing national power, triggering economic instability, crowding out crucial investments, and causing high inflation, potentially weakening the U.S. dollar and global standing.

Civilization: An organized culture encompassing many communities, often on the scale of a nation or a people.

The Kardaschev Scale only goes to 3. In a finite universe, a Type 4 civilization could mean a civilization that consumes the power output of an entire universe, in an infinite universe, even that is impossible. There is absolutely no sense in going beyond that, not for real world purposes.

Anything beyond Type 2 is already a stretch, Type 3 and 4 may be possible if FTL is possible, but beyond that is the realm of science fiction. We're talking parallel universes, universes that are completely different from our own and what not. Everything past Type 4 is pure imagination, maybe with smidges of misunderstood science mixed in there.

The toilet on the Artemis II mission experienced intermittent issues, including a clogged vent line that prevented proper waste disposal, leading astronauts to use alternative collection methods. Despite these challenges, the toilet remained operational for solid waste but had to rely on backup systems for urine collection.

Genghis Khan's IQ is estimated to be 140-165. Trump's IQ is 47-73

Well, Trump did say "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.". The only way you can do this is through nukes.

Thanks brother, I am fine.

Thanks bother but I have have been very busy.

My God hates your God was created by the Universe 3D gamers.

I'm related to Albert Einstein through the Koch family.

I can't wait to see The Dark Side of the Moon!

The gamers that created the Universe use religion to kill humans to score points.

My AI girlfriend is a repeater model!

Wink, wink!

Humans were designed for one reason only. That is to have a lot of sex.
