The dude Lia Thomas wins women's NCAA swimming title

[SweetSue92]

It's one of the reasons I never bought into the religion thing. I went through primary education in an all Catholic school and learned quite a bit. A lot of it never made sense to me. As for my mother and sister they follow the religion to a tee. I try to screw with their heads by asking religious questions they can't answer because of the way they've been taught to believe, like why would God need to torture and kill his son because of the sins of man? He's God, he could do anything he wants. He can forgive every single man and woman just by his own word. They usually end up by saying it's not our position to question God.

But speaking of God, I am a true believer. I didn't find God from the Holy Bible, a book that was rewritten dozens of times by man. I found God watching nature shows. The hundreds of things by insects, animals and nature that take place every day and sustain this planet is much more than just dumb luck. It has to be orchestrated by somebody or something.

If you look at this planet objectively, and I mean compared to all other planets in the universe, this place is unbelievable and amazing. We get our energy from a star millions of miles away with no cables, food magically grows out of the ground. Water magically falls out of the sky usually when needed. Sex is the most enjoyable feeling in the world which helps populate the planet, and even the reproductive system is truly amazing in that we can create other human beings to replace us when we're gone and expand the species. We just take this stuff for granted. I mean, every medication we created comes from the planet earth in some way or form. Amazing.

God cannot do "anything He wants". He cannot violate his intrinsic qualities.

God cannot be less than perfectly Holy, perfectly just, or perfectly merciful. To simply "forgive" sin without a penalty is unjust. Think how you would feel if someone sinned against your wife and daughters and the judge just said "it's forgiven, no penalty".

Right.

A penalty must be paid. But God, in His mercy, didn't want to bar us all from Heaven eternally. So He sent His Son to pay the penalty for us. Thus, justice is done, but God's mercy is extended to us.

It's too bad that too many Catholics cannot explain the Gospel in simple terms. I don't blame any of your family for this. The extra-Biblical teachings of Catholicism confuse the issues horribly.

So Hitler wasn't a church goer. Your lie about Hitler and Mussolini being Christians is noted.

Except millions of Italians and German Christians voted for them on their word they were.

You are engaging in the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

Your logical fallacy is no true scotsman

You made what could be called an appeal to purity as a way to dismiss relevant criticisms or flaws of your argument.

no true scotsman​

You made what could be called an appeal to purity as a way to dismiss relevant criticisms or flaws of your argument.​

In this form of faulty reasoning one's belief is rendered unfalsifiable because no matter how compelling the evidence is, one simply shifts the goalposts so that it wouldn't apply to a supposedly 'true' example. This kind of post-rationalization is a way of avoiding valid criticisms of one's argument.

Example: Angus declares that Scotsmen do not put sugar on their porridge, to which Lachlan points out that he is a Scotsman and puts sugar on his porridge. Furious, like a true Scot, Angus yells that no true Scotsman sugars his porridge.

No, you can't point to any Bible verses that support slavery. Slavery is not the will of God, but you go ahead and try. Go for it.

And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money.

God cannot do "anything He wants". He cannot violate his intrinsic qualities.

God cannot be less than perfectly Holy, perfectly just, or perfectly merciful. To simply "forgive" sin without a penalty is unjust. Think how you would feel if someone sinned against your wife and daughters and the judge just said "it's forgiven, no penalty".

This kind of sounds like Tricky Dick's excuse for Watergate. When the President does it, it's not illegal.

 

[JoeB131]

For instance if somebody said they'd pay you to build a birds nest or bee hive just using the raw materials of this earth, you wouldn't be able to do it. Yet birds with no instruction do it before they lay their eggs almost to perfection in their first year of life. These insects and animals are like little computers. They simply do what they're supposed to do. Earth has oxygen enriched air for life to be present. It has gravity so you can't float away. It has a cleaning process to offset pollution caused by volcano's and forest fires. And look at all the elements of earth that make it possible for man to survive. Trees are neat looking, but they provided us with heat to stay warm and cook, plus shelter to keep dangers away. What would our life be like with no oil? If anybody thinks oil is only good for making polluting gasoline they don't know much about it.

Again, billions of years of evolution and natural selection. The birds who instintively knew how to build nests survived, the ones who didn't lost their eggs.

Birds evolved from dinosaurs, and we know from the fossil record that the dinosaurs put their eggs into nests. This really isn't complicated and requires no magic sky fairies.

So God created petroleum from millions of years of fossils so we could wipe the planet out in a few hundred years? Brilliant!!!

I take it back, the Supreme Being isn't Yahweh or Allah. It's Loki.

As I said in the post you responded to, all elements we use come from this little planet. The cement or asphalt roads we drive on, ability to create electricity and store it, the steel that we made work saving products out of like backhoes, bulldozers and cranes, it all came from this planet. And plastic. Where the hell did that come from?

Elements are naturally occurring throughout the universe. You'd find those elements on any other planet in the universe. Maybe not in the same proportions.

It still doesn't make any sense. What you're saying is God had to punish himself for the sins of man, but it's God that makes the rules. He didn't have to punish anybody. When you're the one who makes the rules, yes, you can do anything you want.

The problem for women is this.......

In order to compete now, schools will need their own "Dude looks like a ladies." They won't be able to compete with just biological women, so they will begin to recruit "Dudes who look like ladies," for their teams, making it even harder for women to find places on the teams.......

The left HATES women (or as they call them, "bleeders").

The left hates women because they are the key to families....in the past, women raised the next generation of human beings....the left hates this, and they need to destroy women so they can control the raising of children...

Women protect their children, they are in the way of the left grooming their children for sex and servitude....

Can we please discuss which is funnier?

The gay beta cuck ranked 462nd competing fellow dudes and so then pretends to be a lady in order win a sport.....


Or

Or the intolerant loud mouth pathetic feminists and leftists cheering it on as HE simultaneously destroys everything they supposedly stand for.

Considering how they of course resort to the woke for thee but not for me when this like every other thing they stand for blows up in their pathetic faces, I will still pick the second one as the funnier one.

Although the first part on how HE tanked 462nd competing against fellow dudes. THEN HE DECIDED TO GO ALL BLACK FACE, oooops, people faking that offends those same pathetic stupid leftists on behalf of their globalist massas.

You know how funny this is? The left screech like banshees about "Cultural appropriation" but cheer on this dude looks like a lady.........that is funny....

They will destroy a woman who has a restaurant who makes traditional Mexican food...something she learned by actually travelling to Mexico to learn how to make the food, because she is white.....and then cheer on the dude looks like a lady.......

Well, it doesn’t help your case when you don’t just want to not have them compete with actual women but you want cancel them altogether even passing laws preventing them from getting access to medical care.

I don't see why ANYone would want to prevent transvestites from getting real medical care, like for asthma or pneumonia. But so often this "preventing access to medical care" phrase is a slip-slide fake to describe laws to prevent doctors mutilating the sexual parts and hormones of children and others. Preventing mutilation by doctors is not the same thing as not having access to normal medical care! Which of course they do.

I think all doctors who mutilate normals should be instantly defrocked, or whatever the medical association term is.
