You’re welcome! Picking up a book of books written over thousands of years in three languages with many genres coming from cultures extremely different than our own is daunting for us all. Patience is key and the onion always has more layers to unwrap humbling us when we think we have it all figured out. Thankfully, especially with Jesus, the first layer is usually obvious and profound for any of us willing to read and ponder for a bit. Cheers on your journey.
Nice! If I may, a couple of recommendations that have helped me. Start with the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John).
The Bible Project on YouTube is a phenomenal resource for overviews of books of the Bible, themes and such.
Haha Clever… but foolish. Nice try dude.
When the has rate was lower years ago, I did hear of university students successfully getting away with mining. Maybe that was before ASICS? Would be tricky in a dorm now.
You’re not the first person to tell me that I make no sense at all. :)
The most recent podcast with #[0] was awesome. The guest was a proponent of Christian anarchism and Bitcoin. I think this is a very cohesive worldview.

I wonder what kind of scientific evidence are you looking for. Maybe you are wanting to put God in a test tube.
You seem to be under the impression that science is the only method to determine a truth claim. That very claim is a philosophical claim, not a scientific claim. Historical events are also not scientific claims. So I guess you’re ruling out whole fields since they don’t fit your paradigm that you set up how God should reveal himself.
I would share philosophical arguments with scientific and historical premises to curious and honest questioners, but as I read your comments, you don’t want that. You want to throw tomatoes at a straw man of a god rather than interact in good faith. You seem to think that the motto “Don’t trust, verify” should only apply to religious people and you should be exempt. I wish you the best.
I had two friends who were roommates that had a beef in college. One definitely was spoiling the shampoo. So the story above is plausible. Now whether it’s scientifically possible to get someone pregnant like that I’m not sure.
I just busted a gut reading that. I hope it’s made up.
Sorry.
I’m… I’ve gone months without sugar other than naturally occurring in milk. Fruit is for fun, not nutrition.
Just do a month or two of carnivore Ben. Then add in whatever you want to eat.
You didn’t answer the question and therefore answered the question. :) I’ll try again to see if you’re interested in discussion or throwing stones. Do you have a good, logical reason why evil and a creator God are incompatible?
You sound quite certain of your assertions. How are you sure there is zero evidence? Are you 100% certain that billions of people across every culture throughout history are incorrect?
Are you saying that pain, suffering and evil suggest a logical incompatibility with a creator God? If so, why are they incompatible in your view?
A creator of a house can reside within and outside the house. That’s at least my simplified analogy.
I guess this is where theism and your view would come to a fork in the road. If we can deduce from logic that we are created (not infinite nor came from nothing which are both illogical concepts) we can look to nature and history and ask if that creator has further revealed himself.
Two lines of evidence that suggest to me that there is clearly supernatural intrusion into our world that I’m curious if you’re aware of: modern day miracles (see Miracles Today by Craig Keener) and NDE’s (see Deathbed Experiences by J. Steve Miller).
I have thousands of sats to my name. I’m rich already bro.
