So hope for a great sea-change
on the far side of revenge.
Believe that further shore
is reachable from here.
Believe in miracles
and cures and healing wells.

Amazing Irish collaboration between singer @thisislyra and artist @ItsGillen as they capture, perfectly, both the essence and symbolism that is Vice President-elect @KamalaHarris

There's A New Day Dawning 👊

@Lazy_Saviour @politvidchannel The BBC made a documentary, not a legal claim of anything requiring burden of proof.

He is suing because "he" thinks it painted him in a bad light. All the burden is upon him and his legal team to prove "their" claim.

Trump is the "plaintiff", the BBC are the "defendants".

@Johntheblessedd @AgainstAtheismX Your "book club" doesn't stop others reading and understanding the Bible.

Many atheists have turned Christian from reading the Bible, among other things. How does that happen if they didn't have the "Holy Spirit"? Are you only born or baptized with it?

Rediculous logic.

[eponymous_george @EponymousGeorge]

@ChristiansSTDT Not just death, but the origins of life.

It's telling when theists try flip secular logic (neuroscience) against itself by using the very logic which effectively scrutinizes theistic worldviews. They know it's effective and hard to refute. Hence why they want to use it.

@Mick_Finnegan Your successes in life, private or otherwise, are the product of those heavy burdens you've worked hard on & bravely chosen to share. You're an inspiration to others.

Your success should never diminish or erode the difficult path you've travelled.

Milestones from millstones.

[eponymous_george @EponymousGeorge]

@ICRscience What secular models include are things like neuroscience, which study & explain human tendencies to use Hyperactive Agency Detection Device (HADD) to avoid uncomfortable, overwhelming feelings, due to an inability to accept certain unknowns. Filling gaps to ease cognitive load.

[eponymous_george @EponymousGeorge]

@darkprof @anchoredso37497 Classic theism. Start with the conclusion "God is" from mythic scribes and confirmation bias and circular think your way back to that assumptive belief as though your life depends on it. Actual critical thinking be damned, all while asking "have you not researched?".

Tiresome.

[eponymous_george @EponymousGeorge]

@Mick_Finnegan Vulnerability pulls us to our knees
Down to the dirt to sow its seeds
Our tears water them into life
Up from the soil & into the light
Slowly ascending above the shade
Nurtured with love a new thing is made
Finally standing so beautifully tall
Transformed by time renewing our all

@klusterfk10 @CiscoM99 @iamAtheistGirl Epistemic Arrogance: A cognitive phenomenon where an individual overestimates their own ability to know the absolute truth, believing their personal insights transcend the flaws of human perception.

There are many outside it and many, alas, inside it.

[eponymous_george @EponymousGeorge]

@klusterfk10 @CiscoM99 @iamAtheistGirl The "All-Knowing" Contradiction: you use a human mind to declare that human minds are irrelevant to cosmic truth. To claim absolute knowledge about "Creation" requires the exact type of "all-knowing" human certainty that the statement itself dismisses as meaningless.

Paradoxical

[eponymous_george @EponymousGeorge]

@klusterfk10 @CiscoM99 @iamAtheistGirl "What humans have convinced themselves..."

The psychological "Paradox of Self-Exemption" -

Asserting you know Creation is real by relying on your own human conviction to state it as a fact; exempting yourself from the very limitation you place on the rest of humanity.

@iamAtheistGirl I love black cats. Sadly, both have passed on.

[eponymous_george @EponymousGeorge]

@hail_to_earth @HunterBiden @grok Zlochevsky was accused of theft of government funds, too.

Board members were paid from Burisma Holdings Limited accounts.

No link has been proven between the two.

Conjecture is not evidence. It's meritless.

I'm not saying it's not possible, just we cannot presume to know.

[eponymous_george @EponymousGeorge]

@hail_to_earth @HunterBiden @grok You still cannot distinguish the two?

A corrupt minister, setting up a private business group, is not "the government". The same government to which he faced charges and forced Zlochevsky to flee.

Hunter was not paid by a "foreign government".

Your evidence is meritless.

[eponymous_george @EponymousGeorge]

@hail_to_earth @HunterBiden @grok Do you understand the difference between private foreign business and being directly paid by a foreign government? If you think making money off the former is corrupt, then you're accusing half the world of corruption.

[eponymous_george @EponymousGeorge]

@TruthTekton @stormie2405 @PinoAmericano Do you say "my brain" when speaking to clarify it's not coming out of your ass?

I've no doubt there are millions of MAGA voting without an "idea".

@Koba_the_great @rtenews

[eponymous_george @EponymousGeorge]

@jonathan_m9502 @DanBeaulie67328 @allegiantfaith @darwintojesus I'm not reading your splurges. You're calling things that are already widely known as one thing, another thing. Religion is all the things your attachment described. Evolutionary science is....science, not religion.

This is 101 understanding, oh erroneous, straw-clutching one.

[eponymous_george @EponymousGeorge]

@Koba_the_great @rtenews You're saying it as you "see" it. It doesn't make it fact, just your opinion, which you're entitled to. It begs the question, though, why you felt the need to get a dig in? Because that's how it looks, from my perspective. As though she'd never have made it, if not for her name.

[eponymous_george @EponymousGeorge]

@Koba_the_great @rtenews You know this how, beyond the predudice you seem to be flinging at her? She spent 10 yrs slowly building her career up. Yes, she had visibilty, but nothing was handed to her. She's talented and I wish her all the success in the world. It's like all the Jessie Buckley begrudgers.

[eponymous_george @EponymousGeorge]

@Koba_the_great @rtenews They most certainly are different things. Spielberg is a legendary director, who I dare say is not in the habit of handing out roles at the drop of a name. As mentioned, he thought she was "extraordinary" in Bad Sisters, which he was a big fan of.

Merit all the way, I believe.
