Goed, nieuwe baan en nieuwe oriëntatie.

Volgers, peeps...welke nieuwskanalen mág ik niet missen? Ik wil goede bronnen waar ik uit kan filteren.

Suggesties, links-, rechts- en centrum zijn allemaal welkom.

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@MDH_UAR @AtheistPhoenix Of course not.

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@DanteT1NG @MDH_UAR @AtheistPhoenix Once I learned about how to read it in its ancient context, how much better I liked it and -paradoxically perhaps- how more true and less of myth and fairy-tale it became.

Funny, that.

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@MDH_UAR @AtheistPhoenix No. They understood the world in their own cultural context.

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@MDH_UAR @DanteT1NG @AtheistPhoenix It is an ancient book of mythopoetic text that only gives that "either/or" problem when read through modern eyes.

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@MDH_UAR @AtheistPhoenix Why? It is merely the process by which God creates.

The Church does not see any problems with that and neither do I.

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@xonphused Christians don't "follow the bible" and no, those "laws" are not laws as we understand it today.

Christians follow Christ and He left a Church. And yes, people within the Church made and still make mistakes.

No-one said it was easy. ;)

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@BaileyJosh2000 @BIG_SGT_D That’s classic 19th-century Hislop/Massey pseudohistory aimed at Catholicism. No serious historian or Egyptologist accepts those forced Nimrod–Semiramis–Osiris parallels. Catholic doctrine developed from 1st-century Judaism and the early Church.

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@SagasofBharat @AtheistPhoenix And the article is not "whataboutery": it's the opposite. It stays tightly focused on the exact claim being made instead of deflecting.

You don't like that the ONE EXAMPLE(!) that he managed to dig up doesn't work and so the whole claim falls apart.

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@SagasofBharat @AtheistPhoenix Bruno was burned at the stake:true. But not for the reason the meme claims but for denying core Christian doctrines (Trinity, divinity of Christ,etc.) not for scientific facts contradicting Church opinion.He wasn’t a scientist being punished for data. The meme doesn’t hold.

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

This is how wars should be fought.

India-Pakistan border. Every single day.

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@AtheistPhoenix And if you say "Bruno" or "Galileo" I will set History For Atheists on you faster than you can say "O God!" like Dawkins when he was asked the full title of "On the origin of species". XD

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@AtheistPhoenix Give me one example. ONE example. Just one.

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@davidkersten And of course, by the same token as Alex measures those countries, the western ones have that too.

And yes, both Michelle and Alex seem to be unaware of all of that. XD

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@davidkersten 2/2...and don't operate the combination of high-volume foreign intake,state-supported settlement,broad regularization of illegal presence,and institutional preference for non-nationals that exists in various Western countries.

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@davidkersten 1/2 These countries manage/restrict foreign immigration tightly and selectively.Their diversity is overwhelmingly internal and historical...

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@NUnl Muppet Show.

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@TertiusIII @Xtopher_Uzo You will undoubtedly say we interpreted scripture wrong -because it was scripture that led us to the Church- but then we would say: "Who does it right, then? You?"

And yes, we also would claim the Holy Spirit led us, just like you would. ;)

[William Higgins @WHCIGO]

@TertiusIII @Xtopher_Uzo 5b ..which we acknowledge is very difficult to understand for protestants who are brought up with a skewed,selective sort of "me and my personally accepted interpretation of scripture" intellectual faith, like we were brought up in and most anti-Catholic prot. activists hold.
