Lol, I just did it as a joke after your comment. It do be a goofy community.

Oh, sorry, should I not have downvoted myself?

Sounds like the problem is with your definition of miracle. "An occurrence which is so unlikely that only the intervention of the divine can explain it." A thing isn't inexplicable by the mundane because of its probability, but because it violates natural laws. And something being truly impossible doesn't necessarily imply the existence of divinity, but moreso suggests that the fault lies in your conception of natural laws.

The more common definition of miracle is "a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency." For example, if an angel appears out of nowhere before you with a message from the Lord, that teleportation is not scientifically explicable. When you open the can of worms that things can break natural laws, you can always come up with an explanation that denies the divine, like that the "angel" is actually a telepathic shapeshifting alien that can teleport and wants to scam you, but that's not the point. The point is that it's considered to be a divine act, and it's considered as such because divine is the word we have for higher powers that are unable to be explained by any level of science.

Also, once the can of worms is open, you no longer get to claim that God's existence has an infinitely small likelihood, and you have to consider whether your alternate explanation is really more likely than the explanation that all the signs are pointing to. Frankly, I don't think you get to claim it's infinitely small in the first place, as whether God is likely to exist is an unsettled debate, but it's not an unreasonable stance to hold.

Get the cheese to sick bay.

Almost looks like a cartoony face.

I was considering it, but didn't wanna shoot the burger.

Wait, but, uh... what?

If talking about work is undesirable at the meetings, maybe you can treat it as more of a social event? I don't know the atmosphere, but it sounds like it might be. You're getting paid for it anyways.

That's not Sonichu, that's Super Saiyan.

I think I’d rather get hit by a car than hit someone with my car.

Banger.

I'd imagine it's not practical to do anything on a personal level (aside from personalized ads) unless you really wanna look into one person in particular, so it's probably more used for market research and whatnot. Easier to do a survey if you don't have to ask anyone.

I don't know DuckDuckGo, but what's the purpose of trying to compete with it? This is not a rhetorical question. Is there something wrong with DuckDuckGo, something you feel you can do better, or are you just making a competitor for the principle?

You think I'm arguing in bad faith, I think you're arguing in bad faith. None of us is going to convince the other, so I'm dropping out here.

Matthew 25:41?

Not gonna lie, this sounds like:

"I've never heard of any Christian saying anything against being evil in this way."
"That's because you don't hear from Christians. Try asking one."
"There's no reason to hear from Christians, they're evil in that way."

Frankly, this sounds like it's going to be a long and tiring conversation. If you militantly believe that something so simple as telling a friend that Jesus loves them is an act of fascism, I don't think this is going to be productive or enjoyable for either of us.

Fascism is when a Christian believes Hell exists?

Try asking your nearest pastor. It's hard for real Christian statements to get around. Where are you going to hear it?

The news? They won't share it because it's not really news. They don't share much besides events, and news networks are biased towards negative events and crimes, which would generally be perpetrated by fake Christians (like christofascists.)

Social media? Christian statements don't trend because there are too many Christian-haters that downvote and argue. The closest you get is "look at these evil christofascists" kind of stuff like this.

Word of mouth and one-on-one conversations is by far the best way.

Can you describe what it is? When you use the word evangelical, is that a synonym for christofascism, or something more specific?

So what I'm seeing here is that I'm being accused of fascism because some people I never met who claim to share my religion are fascists. But apparently that's a justified accusation because apparently I have no issues with them.

It wasn't okay to lump Muslims in with Al-Qaeda. Why is this okay? Because the people you're lumping me in with are in power?
