@DrC_IET17 @LardDragonEzra And did you know that claiming to others you know the will of God is taking his name in vain? That's what that commandment means. The vanity is selfishly using his name in an attempt to control others. He doesn't care if you say "bad words".
@DrC_IET17 @LardDragonEzra It's God's will. God knew I would become a non-theist before I was ever conceived. I value life now more than when I was Christian, because this is our only life. Free Will is an illusion. When I understand something new, I'm not free to not understand it.
@RealPaulVarjack@JaMikeyMike @HousingSpock @the_transit_guy It's roughly the size of California. 95% of Cali is uninhabited. Cali's population is 40M. That many people live in metro Tokyo, 1/3 of Japan's population. 70% of Japan is mountainous which is more difficult for building. That's more relevant than the size of the country.

@Mediahobo@patrickrmatt@KATUNews The omnipotent Lord above has a fantastic memory, so I just did one really good prayer asking for blanket forgiveness for all of my evil deeds in advance. It's a pretty sweet system once you figure out the game
