"Wanted" is a funny word. The idea that there's something difficult to understand about a supreme being who is so far above us that he created not only us but the entire universe according to what's revealed about him? That shouldn't seem a strange idea.

Imagine if we met an advanced alien who had technology far beyond ours. We might not be able to understand a lot of the way they thought, spoke, or acted.

The thing is, it actually says that in the Bible.

Isaiah 55:8-9 NLT “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

Yet we keep wanting to subject Him not only to our reasoning, but to our language.

Pish. Calvinism teaches that God was the serpent? You're a bit off base there.

Waiting for reference. Other than a Chick tract.

Well, since this is a religious discussion, I'm a Christian. It's always God.

Job 1:6-12 very clearly shows God granting permission for Satan to test Job.

1 Kings 22:19-22 shows the "court in heaven" and God soliciting ideas from spirits for enticing Ahab to attack Ramoth Gilead, where he will die. When a good suggestion is made, God grants permission.

Exodus 10:1-2 states clearly that God hardened Pharaoh's heart to not let the slaves go, so that God could display his "signs" (plagues).

Satan is a liar, and the father of lies.

Romans 9:19-21 NIV

One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?” But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’ ” Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?

I feel like all his many honeymoons were over quickly.

I really agree Google just took themself out of the market. I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped their "search" product completely, the way they've dropped a lot of other good products along the way.

I just love the community getting together having a good time

She looks so happy!

Well you're right. I have terrible people skills. I become aggressive when I perceive myself (or my views) being attacked. I have a lot of problems making myself understood, online and in real life.

Your assessment of my personality is spot on. I am in therapy. Should I just hide away and never engage because sometimes I get wrapped around the axle? Shit, I don't know.

I'm sorry everyone. I know not what I do. I will not speak on this thread again.

It was obvious. He never had a product, never had shit, and went after the high-speed rail contract specifically.

Here's a Bloomberg article from 2013 that shows many people back then knew exactly what Musk was doing.

BUT, I'm done doing everyone's homework for them. Think what you like.

Tesla was (and remained) a class signal, a tag for rich people.

It was never a Prius.

Hence all the self-driving technology and cyber truck and all that other bullshit, trying to make it seem "elite" and add value to a deeply flawed product. Let's not forget that the cyber truck trunk will cut your finger off easily, maybe your whole hand, and any Tesla will gladly seal you inside its compartment in an accident and wait for you to burn to a cinder. No government outcry, maybe because he's the world's richest man?

But hey, you defend Tesla all you like. I'll let the Tesla motors club talk about their own product. And I quote: "...if you’re the type that prefaces sentences and expectations with 'if I’m spending $100k on a car you damn well bet...' ... you’re less likely to be satisfied.'

This is Elon in 2018 showing his butt

His hyperloop bullshit started around 2012-2013 and he admitted to his biographer Ashlee Vance that the Hyperloop proposal was only intended to get legislators to cancel plans for high-speed rail in California.

He had no plans to develop it at the time, it was just a tool, like him

Do you hear yourself?

Whatever - Hey, you're completely right, you win the argument. He HAD to buy that Tesla. He was too busy engaging in politics to notice the world's richest man becoming a huge right-wing influencer!

I wish he was here right now so I could apologize to him personally for criticizing him buying that piece of shit fad car back in the day.

Most people? We are talking about an active politician. He was aware. Musk bought Twitter in April 2022, but he was being a full-on turd way before that.

Sorry, I noticed it was the guy before you (@NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io ) who said that a Democratic Senator and astronaut wouldn't know Musk was a scumbag.

Riiiiiight.

I literally looked it up.

So he went with Musk, the biggest cancer we have, a known entity for at least a decade?

Mmm, 'kay.

Thank you. I post often.

Like and follow, and don't forget to ring the bell to get my content first.

But he thought it was cool to have one in the first place.

Send him home.

EDIT: I will double-down for the downvoters. There was never, ever anything cool about owning a Tesla. Only superficial cunts bought them. If that's you, own it.

Jew Cards?

I'll show myself the door.
