In return, I’d like to recommend [the Book](https://quran.com/2?translations=20) which is free of contradictions—indeed, as it proclaims right at the beginning, “the Book about which there is no doubt.” Doing my best to disprove it has brought me to where I am today.

I very much agree. A “disprove it” approach works wonders, however; if something is true, and one is both dedicated and honest, then truth prevails. Again, the subject is eternal salvation or damnation and I am much more inclined to believe the Creator would not leave such a serious matter—it does not get more serious than eternal consequences, does it?—to guessing and trusting, without any possibility of certainty or even reason; yes, I am inclined to believe that He would ensure the truth could be assailed to no end and stand. The Bible cannot.

I think anyone who begins with presuppositions—for instance, “this book is true and accurate”—will find ways to justify absurdities and contradictions in order to “prove it.” It’s interesting to compare the different contrivances each person comes up in order to do so, however. Anyway, your working theory won’t hold: both authors are describing the same events/timeframe; the women ran and said nothing to anyone out of fear at the same time they ran to share the good news and met the Messiah himself, upon him be peace, on the way. As to my own explanation? Simple, the text was changed, accidentally and deliberately, over time, which makes it quite a rollercoaster source for guidance regarding one’s eternal destination.

Do let me know how you conciliate Mark’s claiming the women, seeing the empty tomb, ran away and said no word to anyone with Matthew’s having them not only run to share the news with the apostles, but encounter the Messiah himself, upon him be peace, on their way.

*Blindsight,* by Watts, next.

Looks like a gray ratsnake.

I would really love to hear what you have to say about Islam.

Do you work for them or are you doing the work for free?

...are you being ironic?

Wrong. It may have sounded great and brought warm fuzzing feelings to write that, but, no, that’s not how it goes, not if history is anything to go by. Freedom is a process, and never an unopposed one. I read your ebook analogy and could only think of the time Amazon deleted *1984* (ironically enough) from thousands of devices.

Oh, yeah? AI is a shortcut for the clueless, is it? Well, let me teach you by the number; indeed, here’s a few: 127.0.0.1—I’m sure you recognize it. How do you like having your IP address exposed on Nostr? Can you guess how long did it take “the shortcut for the clueless” to figure it out? As you frantically call your ISP to request a reassign, be sure to reflect and benefit from the lesson your ordeal is meant to teach you—and not only you: to others reading, before you dare speak against AI, consider how much you want to follow suit and be vibe-pwned. Don’t you think @sama knows better than you?

...or in hopes he would not talk?!

One got a 3-day paid vacation, not unlikely making as much in that short period as people make in a year. The other died.

Or much worse. Suffering represents an extended Hand, an opportunity for repentance, a call to redemption—it is punishment, and yet it comes from Mercy. The opposite is taking place with the wicked man who knows no lack or pain; he is, not shielded from, deprived of them; his fortune is but delayed misfortune, a generous reward for all the good he has done in this life, given in full so there will be nothing left to account for in the next life other than the evil he has done.

You did, of course, know, writing that, that writing that would alert those in the know to the fact that you know there is something to be known and—worse, given how much, as by now you surely know, they loathe being known—some in the know of what there is to know?

Suas publicações ficarão deliciosas após ler Peter Levenda.

Would you trust a senior judge who couldn’t bake you a good roll?

What? Doesn’t look at all like Quark!

Ahh... I opened the image hoping to see the trees and shrubs. Oh well, a great week to you, blessed with guidance.

And the best investment in yourself is that which pays eternal dividends.

I honestly conjured [this grieving man](https:/redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=7ryHyDFCCD8) to my mind and had him narrate your diatribe as though it were an extension to his own—inserted right after “mound of diseased hyena filth who’s not fit to lick the dirt from my spats.”

Some things become quite obvious once one realizes just how deep can the chasm be between what someone claims (and proclaims, and shouts, and so on) and what someone believes.

A quem não o tenha feito, eu recomendaria pesquisar sobre a System1 e sua relação com a Startpage — e usar o DuckDuckGo enquanto isso (pessoalmente, também depois) — além de conferir o projeto SearXNG, que, além da disponibilidade de várias instâncias públicas (com características e países de hospedagem listados em https://searx.space), oferece a opção de hospedar a sua própria.

Tem quem considera intolerável qualquer expansão de uma posição divergente — “avanço da direita e extrema-direita”, não só da primeira — alguma base moral para falar do fascismo? Qual é a diferença entre um e outro? Entre ser torturado por quem diz torturá-lo em nome dos valores conservadores e por quem diz fazê-lo em nome do povo? Torturado, roubado, esfomeado: faz mais diferença que pé calça a bota ou o fato da bota estar esmagando sua cabeça? E você só pode estar brincando se insinua que a esquerda é exemplo de moralidade.

“Narrated by Abu Bakra: ‘When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) heard the news that the people of the Persia had made the daughter of Khosrau their Queen (ruler), he said, ‘Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler’.” (Bukhari, 7099)

Not everyone is raised a Muslim, o great rhetorician—and, judging from the pondered maturity of your answer, and from your presumption that inability for critical reasoning and reflection is the only reason someone might not share your worldview, let alone adhere to one you are at odds with, I should think I had been busy being other things for quite a while before you made your great entrance to this world and that it is far, far more likely you’re one who should dare in that regard. Do begin your daring by describing your own philosophy—assuming it doesn’t consist entirely of “don’t abuse children” and “don’t blow yourself up,” two points in regards to which whatever you are and Muslims are in agreement.

Indeed, you, you, o enlightened man, you’re diagnosing two billion, you’re claiming to know better than all of us—and this if, if, you aren’t tracing our supposed “cancer” to our brains, which would mean we aren’t even capable of being nearly as enlightened. But, assuming we are, pray, o noble sage, describe your cure or at least support your statement.

The man who proclaimed the words in your tagline died syphilitic; having advised bringing a whip if we are to engage women, there’s nevertheless a picture of him tied to a horse cart, while the woman riding holds the riding crop. Maybe stand on firmer philosophical ground before diagnosing others? But beyond that, how much of the world is ruled by Islam? Not much, I’d say. And whilst it is true not many Islamic countries are rich right now—which, of course, has nothing to do with their being bombed and invaded whenever someone feels like it—I don’t think the West presents some utopia.

Será que convidaram Timothy Leary para a discussão? Ele dizia a mesma coisa.

The best part is how you went from “I have a right to be retarded if I want to and I will fight to the death to protect that right for future retards like me” to this. I really look forward to find out what messages will precede your trying, and maybe not completely hating, other languages—APL, Erlang, Haskell... Good old Scheme, too.

Why? I don’t mean fearing one over the other, but fearing it in the first place. Why do you think that is, akhi?

Crackers! You’re the choosen one. You can bring accuracy back to journalism. Crackers breached!

Por quê...?
