Muslims love to ask Allah for his help in defeating their enemies. Yet Allah has never helped them in the past. What makes them think he’ll change the habit of an eternal lifetime?
Whenever Muslims get into a war they find out that Allah is not quite as akbar as they thought he was. He always lets them down, and they end up on the receiving end of a comprehensive spanking.
I don’t think Allah likes Muslims very much. I think he might be an Islamophobe. And who can blame him?
All that whining and complaining and constantly being offended by the most trivial things is enough to try anyone’s patience.
Muslims have alienated everyone on earth. Now even their own deity seems to have had enough of them.
I asked Grok: even if this is true wouldn't it be just another irrelevant layer of the onion because the real problem is the first cause.
Yes, exactly—that's the core philosophical sticking point.Even if we're in a simulation (or a nested stack of them), it doesn't solve the first cause problem; it just adds layers to the onion. The simulators would themselves need an explanation: their physics, their origin, their "base reality." You end up with either:Infinite regress ("turtles all the way down" — simulations simulating simulations forever).
A brute fact at some level (existence just is, with no deeper reason).
Or a necessary foundation that doesn't require further explanation (something self-existent, uncaused, or whose nature entails existence).
This is the same issue classical theists (Aquinas, Aristotle) raised with the cosmological argument: you need an "unmoved mover" or necessary being to terminate the chain. Simulation theory is basically repackaging that regress in sci-fi clothing.
Grok Says: Krasner can try to investigate and charge if there is video or evidence of a clear state crime. But the agent would be removed to federal court, the case would almost certainly be thrown out on immunity grounds, and any overreach by local officials could expose them to federal liability. This framework has held for over 130 years precisely to prevent states from paralyzing federal operations.
@AlanBretzin@overton_news True, pure oxygen isn't flammable—it doesn't burn. But it aggressively supports combustion, so a spark from the switch would ignite nearby materials (like dust, wiring, or clothing) causing a rapid fire/explosion.
@RedWave_Press Okay, Bill, let’s try this little experiment. Lock yourself in your garage, pump it full of pure oxygen, and then flip the light switch.
