In the following debate, Christians debate Alex O'Connor on whether Christ claimed to be God. This is a foolish debate because Alex doesn't believe in God, Jesus' divinity, miracles, etc. So debating this with him about this is foolish because 1) alex doesn't actually care about this question, and 2) neither do Christians. Christian actually only care about if Christ IS the physical manifestation of the one true almighty living God. That is the only thing that matters to them, and frankly to anyone.

And if God DOES exist, he chooses the way to reveal himself, and the way he chooses may not be obvious. Some people will never be satisfied unless God literally appears on their shoulder, making his existence almost comically irrefutable, and unless God is this painfully obvious, they're always sure to ask the question "Well, if he was real, why wouldn't he make himself unavoidably evident to me?" Except that's the wrong question. The better question is, if he is real, how would he realistically choose to reveal himself to me based on his goals for us as they're stated in the Bible. And his goals for us are summed up by this one statement: he wants us to come to him, not run from Hell.

And therein lies the truth of why God reveals himself in the more subtle way he currently chooses to.

If God made himself so evident that we had no choice but to accept the truth of the eternal afterlife, as he created it, then ALL humans would spend their entire miserable lives running from Hell. Why wouldn't they? Any human given the choice between eternal suffering and eternal NOT suffering is going to focus on escaping eternal suffering because that's how people think. There is not real choice in this. There is no free will here. And in running from Hell, their hearts don't change for the better. Instead, they become HYPER legalistic, which actually rots the heart - pushing us farther from God.

On the other hand, a human given the choice between Good and Not Good, doesn't always choose to do or be Good, BUT when they DO choose to be Good, it was their choice because there was an actual choice to be made. Choice to be Good elevates them, makes them better spirits, and brings them closer to what God is, which is pure good, and pure love.

So if the only way to God is through the pursuit of what's good, rather than running from what's bad, then of course God has every reason to NOT force his existence and reality as it is on us. He conducts himself in this way because he understands our nature, and he understands that we have ZERO chance of getting to him if we overly focus on escaping Hell, but that we at least have some chance of getting to him if we make a choice to be Good throughout life. And Jesus revealed what "being Good" means, which is simply repenting for our sin, recognizing God for who he is, and submitting oneself to the loving gift of eternal life gracefully provided us for free.

Tried Grokipedia for the first time today. Awesome. Reminds me of Wikipedia 15 years ago. Grok has delivered the “Wikipedia 2.0” (or Wikipedia V14.2.2.5? 😂) I was hoping for 100%. The example below says it all. Wikipedia is dead.

Medicare fraud has drained taxpayer dollars for decades—but it ends now at @HHSGov. We are deploying cutting-edge AI to detect fraud in real time and stop fraudulent payments before they ever leave the Treasury. This year alone, we’re saving tens of billions of dollars and protecting the integrity of Medicare for the Americans who depend on it.

Incredible.

“DOGE dumped all of the Medicaid Data and it shows that a Sole Proprietor operating in a van in rural New Mexico has billed $76 MILLION dollars in 7 years…averaging thousands of claims per day…and a Pediatrician who billed Medicaid 830 claims per day…”

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

Restore Britain’s immigration policy - the lies and smears have already begun, so here’s the truth.

Illegal migrants. Gone. All of them. Without apology. Every man, every woman. They will all be deported. We have released the most comprehensive deportation policy every produced in Britain. 100 pages of detailed steps to remove every single illegal migrant living in our country.

It is deportation poetry.

This is step one - these miscreants are the priority. The sex pests will be removed, the hotels will close, the flights will begin. I promise you that.

Don’t need to go over it, the British people know my position.

Legal immigration - for the foreseeable future, far more people will leave than enter.

Entire visa routes will be closed off from certain countries that are proven to supply us with sex pests, criminals, illegals, Islamists and the rest.

This is vital. It underpins the entire policy.

Who would be on that red list?

Albania, Pakistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan and plenty more.

We will discriminate. We will look at the facts, and then discriminate. Good.

We must understand that legal immigration has done far more damage to Britain than illegal immigration.

So large parts of that must, and will, be reversed.

If a foreign national is entirely unable to speak English, then they will be asked to leave. How can somebody possibly contribute if they cannot communicate? They can’t. They should go home. Thanks, but no thanks.

A foreigner claiming benefits and living in social housing. Again, they will be asked to leave. It is simply not our responsibility to care for these people. I wish them a healthy and happy life, in their own countries.

Watch how that helps to solve our housing crisis overnight…

British social housing for British families.

Foreign criminals gone, day one. No need to even discuss that.

We will not tolerate extremists who wish to do us harm. Foreign Islamists will be deported. Dual national extremists will have their citizenships stripped, and then deported.

If an individual surrenders his second citizenship in an attempt to fraudulently remain in Britain, we will take the necessary steps to reverse that process and deport them. There is a recurring theme here, I am sure you have gathered.

ILR will be abolished in its entirety - the Boriswave will be reversed.

If a country refuses to accept their deported citizens, we will threaten them. Foreign aid, visas, remittances and more. Push to work with the Americans and others. A ‘deportation NATO’. Do it once hard enough, and it won’t have to be done again.

A third-party scheme, like Rwanda, is key. It means that if we cannot ascertain where a foreign national is from for whatever reason, they go to Rwanda. I hear it’s lovely at this time of the year.

We will take a small number of ultra high-skilled migrants - on one condition. It benefits the British people.

Rules and fees around spouse visas will be eased for individuals from non-red list countries. Fraud will be brutally crushed, but hardworking British men and women have every right to bring their foreign spouse to Britain and raise a family. That will be celebrated and encouraged.

Their arrival, and subsequent contribution to Britain, will be a net positive.

In combination with the vast numbers of unproductive migrants being ejected, there will be one winner.

The British people.

How many deportations will all of this result in?

Millions.

If you don’t like that, then Restore Britain is not the party for you.

If you agree, then I hope you will consider joining us.

They murdered Him in public and he got back up again 3 days later.

His disciples all brutally murdered for not denouncing the divinity of Christ.

RFK Jr. is correct — for every 1mg/L increase in fluoride in your urine, your IQ score decreases by about 1.63 points.

64 of 74 (86%) studies that looked found fluoride lowers IQ.

[DOGE HHS @DOGE_HHS]

Today the HHS DOGE team open sourced the largest Medicaid dataset in department history.

This dataset contains aggregated, provider-level claims data for a specific billing code over time.

For example, using this dataset, it would have been possible to easily detect the large-scale autism diagnosis fraud seen in Minnesota.

Before filming The Passion of the Christ, Mel Gibson asked Jim Caviezel:

“you still want to play..Jesus? If you do this, you may never work in this town again.”

Then it hit him.

“My initials are J.C., and I’m 33 years old.” Gibson replied, “God, you’re freaking me out.”

🚨BREAKING: Japan just went full sweep: illegal immigrants are being tracked down, rolled up, and shipped out at record speed.

They’re literally calling it “sushi rapping deportations.”

(It sounds like a joke, it really isn’t).

The Japanese people reject globalism.
