    For the record, for all those who think we teach sex ed to children too young, I'd like you to consider this: I have a late birthday and first received sex-ed in grade 4 (making me 8 years old). Had I received such education 2-3 years earlier, I may have been better equipped to tell my mother about the 53xual abuse I was receiving at the hands of my babysitter (single mother; repeat babysitter). I might have been better equipped to recognize, for myself, that it wasn't just some fun playtime, but represented something that was wrong, something I should tell an adult about. I didn't understand at the time that it was wrong. I didn't tell my mom until I was 18.
    So I'm all for children receiving sexual education, in school *AS YOUNG AS POSSIBLE* and that absolutely refers to *INCLUSIVE, COMPREHENSIVE SEXUAL EDUCATION*

    Dre, most amusingly says that if two people witnessed a car wreck, they would tell different stories.
    I have to point out that if two people were asked to imagine a car wreck and describe it later, they would also tell different stories.
    His point wasn't worth debunking to be honest, but different stories is problematic, and it can't be ignored and wouldn't be ignored by a jury in a court of law.
    Also eye witness testimony, which is the least reliable type of testimony, means a live person recalling events that they personally witnessed from their memory. Stuff written down in a book, edited and transcribed, even if it was at one time recalled from memory, is not eye witness testimony.

      @MikeHamMan Місяць тому +3

      @@CarlHobson-zm2gk The car wreck analogy wasn’t about Aristotle or historians, it was about the reliability of eyewitness testimony versus imagined or written accounts. Trying to lump Aristotle into this doesn’t really track because we’re talking about HOW information is preserved and recalled, not WHO wrote it. And yes, car wrecks. Because it’s a simple example of how two people witnessing the same event can give wildly different accounts. That’s human perception 101. Now compare that to something written down, edited, and passed through multiple hands over centuries...at that point, it’s not even eyewitness testimony anymore. It’s collective memory with a lot of room for error.
      "Stuff written down" is different depending on the purpose, context, and reliability of the source. Aristotle’s writings, or basically any historical documents in general, were never intended to be viewed as infallible or unified, like how most modern day Christians view the bible. Historians, from the past and today, document and interpret events based on available evidence. Those interpretations are open to be revised or challenged as new evidence emerges.
      Compare this to the Bible. Those who claim it is unified and infallible often do so from a theological perspective rather than a historical or literary one. The Bible wasn’t written as a single, cohesive book by one author, if it was, and we try to view it as such, then it is filled to the brim with contradictions, fallacies and other problematic issues like mismatched eyewitness testimony. Scholars of the Bible view it for what it actually is: a compilation of texts written over centuries by numerous authors, in different languages, and for different purposes that reflect the cultural, political, and theological concerns of their times. Presupposing the Bible’s infallibility imposes a standard that its own history doesn’t support. Aristotle and historians offer accounts that are meant to be scrutinized and debated based on available evidence. Those who view the Bible as infallible ignore evidence based research and resist any kind of scrutiny or debate.

Always assumed that it was well meaning (do unto others etc) - the good book - but that bad priests and so on were not really reading the text they said they believed in or misinterpreting it out of self interest or they were just immoral ppl. Even sent my kids to Christian schools. OUCH! Watched this to the end !!! 😭😭😭 and it has been a real shock. 😲I wondered why so much pain and effort to create this channel refuting Christian beliefs.

      A priest doesn't have to misinterpreted it because of self interest or that he's an immoral person. There's another possible reason why a priest would do that. They were indoctrinated into believing that that's what the text really means. In a sense, people are neither moral or immoral. It's their actions that can be said to be moral or immoral. There's really no way that we can look at someone's entire life and determine that 51% of their actions that they ever did was moral, therefore, they are a moral person, and vice versa.

    But "deliberately terminating" isn't the entire definition of an abortion. Medically, a miscarriage by natural means IS an abortion. Medically, getting a D&C after a natural miscarriage is still termed an ABORTION. It doesn't have to be deliberate. It doesn't have to be artificially terminated.

      @shawn092182 7 днів тому

      Because doing that would make the spider not fit for survival to pass on its genes to the next generation. Spiders having wings means that more energy is required in order for spiders to move around. And, an increase in the spiders energy output results in requiring an incease of energy consumption for spiders. Less energy is required for a Spider to sit and wait for its food to come to it compared to actively looking for food.
      Keep in mind that the notion of there being positive and negative gains don't exists when it comes to evolution. So, a trait may be beneficial for one species of organism, but that doesn't mean that it'll also be beneficial for a different species.

      But God shows His anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
      They know the truth about God because He has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky.
      Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities-His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
      Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship Him as God or even give Him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like.
      As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools.
      But now, now, now, God commands you to repent of your sins and turn to Him

      @Ben-no4lz yes start with gennisis that's the beginning then go over to the 4 Gospels take your pick Mathew mark luke and John then read bout the death burial and Resurrection of Jesus then go to the book of revelations that's when Jesus returns dig into that one and you see a lot happening before your very eyes

      @@WillieGillespie A claim can’t be evidence for itself.
      The Bible is a collection of Claims.
      So you would need Evidence from Outside the Bible to back up those claims.
