“The purpose of the police is not to be a social experiment in representation — it is to safeguard the conditions of civil life for all, regardless of their background.”

There is no such thing as 'positive' discrimination. And when it creeps into life-or-death professions like policing or flying a plane, it stops being merely unjust. It becomes dangerous, says Daniel Fessahaye. https://t.co/S1lLH7f1Si

@TheTweetGoblin_ Well, I hope you do know that no babies were actually murdered? I assume you're referring to 1 Samuel?

[DF @danielfessahaye]

@TheTweetGoblin_ OK, so even if you were to be convinced that the Christian God does exist, nothing would change for you?

[DF @danielfessahaye]

@TheTweetGoblin_ No, that’s fair. The only point I was making in this instance is that the question of him being “evil”, or whatever pejorative you want to use, isn’t really relevant. The only question we should be asking is whether he is real. Surely you agree with that?

[DF @danielfessahaye]

@TheTweetGoblin_ OK, but you accept the premise that you believing he is evil does not negate the fact that he might exist?

[DF @danielfessahaye]

@TheTweetGoblin_ I missed this tweet. My point is that you’re using moral assumptions that are heavily shaped by Christianity whilst simultaneously rejecting the foundation those assumptions come from. For something to be deemed evil, there must also be an objective and ultimate good.

[DF @danielfessahaye]

@TheTweetGoblin_ Fair enough, but on what moral grounding can you say those things are wrong?

[DF @danielfessahaye]

@TheTweetGoblin_ Well, you’re picking and choosing what to accept. Jesus is a member of the Triune God, the God of the Hebrew Bible.

[DF @danielfessahaye]

@TheTweetGoblin_ That’s the point. There’s no such thing as a “first world” societal standard. You don’t seem to be grasping my point that you’re taking Christianity for granted.

[DF @danielfessahaye]

@TheTweetGoblin_ So when you made this claim earlier that your “god is a fucked up piece of shit”, were you referring to Christian standards of morality?

[DF @danielfessahaye]

@TheTweetGoblin_ Foetus is literally Latin for “offspring” / “child” 😂😂

But anyway, we can move back to the original point. You’re using Christian standards of morality to critique God? It doesn’t really make sense. Btw, I’ll get to the “justification” once you address this point.

[DF @danielfessahaye]

@JesseHarrison70 @Connor_longlive @Sam_LUFC__ You’ve got to remember most people in the UK are biblically illiterate, and that includes some self-professed Christians.

[DF @danielfessahaye]

@TheTweetGoblin_ @Jamie3HDK @sufcBilly Also, does using the word “terminating” instead of “killing”, or “foetus” instead of “baby” make you feel better?

[DF @danielfessahaye]

@TheTweetGoblin_ Ha, thought not. It just seems inconsistent to apply moral critique to God while being comfortable with the “same actions” in a human context. If something is morally wrong in principle, it should be wrong across the board.

[DF @danielfessahaye]

@TheTweetGoblin_ @Jamie3HDK @sufcBilly Ah, so you’re against abortion?

[DF @danielfessahaye]

@TheTweetGoblin_ @Jamie3HDK @sufcBilly Using Christian standards of morality to disapprove of God’s actions is pretty ironic lol. At least acknowledge your bias, pal.

This is an insane valuation for what the company currently offers; it will be interesting to see what effect it has on $RKLB & $ASTS

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: SpaceX plans to sell approximately 555.6 million shares at $135 per share in its upcoming IPO, according to new SEC filings.

At that price, the offering would raise $75 billion, making it the largest IPO in history by a wide margin.

This would value SpaceX at $1.77 trillion.

[The Critical Drinker @TheCriticalDri2]

That's your first mistake. You're supposed to hold them up in front of you.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

This is De Gaulle with his daughter, Anne, who had Down’s syndrome, on a beach in Brittany 1933.
He doted on her and she lived with him and his wife all her short life at a time when children with disabilities were regularly institutionalised.
She died of pneumonia in 1948 aged only 20. He carried a picture of her with him for the rest of his life. He was buried alongside her.
A tale of unconditional, unlimited love.

@syohannes7 @nik_sim_mufc @Teflon_nate @TheDevilsDNA I cannot believe there are people that actually think Anderson is better than Bruno G… and I actually rate Anderson 😂😂😂
