@PeterDiamandis It will result in hyper inflationary that’s why money won’t have any value.

[Murray Rothbard @MurraySuggests]

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

@elonmusk @nypost Yes income will be higher but cost of living will be multiples higher.

Australia was handed one of the greatest starting positions of any country in history

Massive mineral wealth. Abundant energy. World-class beaches. Amazing climate. No fault lines... no earthquakes or tsunamis

If you gave a 12-year-old this setup in a civilisation-building game, they'd build a paradise

Instead, we got decades of useless politicians on both sides of the aisle who couldn't run a sausage sizzle at Bunnings without a $4 billion feasibility study and a royal commission

Australia isn't unlucky. It's grossly mismanaged

[The Aramaic Wire ܣܘܪܝܐ @AramaicWire]

Evangelicals are partly to blame for the collapse of Middle Eastern Christianity.

They are the biggest supporter of wars which destroy Christians.

But it goes way deeper than that.

They view Christians like Assyrians in Iraq as a pawn to expand their footprint as "authentic" Christians.

They can be so brazen that they even set up local organizations & try to convert *Apostolic Christians* to *their* brand of American Christianity.

Imagine destroying an Apostolic, Aramaic speaking Christian community which is 2000 years old.

Then setting up an NGO to convert them to Megachurch Protestantism through bribery & handouts.

Isn't that insane?

[Mark Pearce @markpearce]

@FatherAltman American ���evangelicals” have driven more people away from Christianity than any other group in history ie they are the most effective evangelists for anti Christianity in history. There are a few exceptions.

@Nero But they are not in the business of being reasonable sensible or mature. They’re in the entertainment business. Like you are. So this tiff is gold for their engagement and good for those who stay on brand.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

@JJS78724042 @dragodimitrov I broadly agree. But that is not the question I was responding to.

[Mark Pearce @markpearce]

@dragodimitrov Err yes. The alternative : not studying the scripture, its claims, or its historical context doesn’t seem a very sound way to conclude a sensible view on anything biblical. If it does to you, please explain. What am I missing?

[Mark Pearce @markpearce]

@dragodimitrov The “dilemma” is a manufactured one. In fact, one book of the Bible claims not only “one book” claims inspiration but that “scripture” (at the time in history being essentially the Old Testament) claims “inspiration”.

@RealJessica05 No by definition, they were almost all immigrants. It was before the sexual revolution and the decline of traditional Christianity.

@BishopJaxi @marus_55 All those up to Nicea II in 787 bishops made decisions in a conciliatory and collaborative manner arriving at majority consensus

[Mark Pearce @markpearce]

The roman pope was the first to splinter off the church so in critical rhetorical (not technical) terms obviously, he was effectively “the first protestant” ….
in his innovations of doctrine, although different in nature and not formally Protestant, again, obviously. These innovations mostly involved shifting the power that had been based on ecumenical consensus for over 1000 yrs to himself. Deciding he was no longer first amongst equals, but an infallible autocrat.

[Mark Pearce @markpearce]

@BishopJaxi @marus_55 Why ? The pope was the first Protestant. He took his bat and ball and pissed off to run his own more innovative self-serving show in a massive power grab. “They went out from amongst us, for they were not of us”.
