Hammer of Rod

Just another in a long line of doomsday cults.

Those who abused the name of Christ for their own personal and political ends are not followers of Christ and do not represent the message that He brought.

Christians are to expect persecution and to count it a blessing to suffer for Christ. Killing our enemies is not what Christians are supposed to do.

Ah, the “no true Scotsman” fallacy.

I just bought a generic version online and have been trenching around the house and applying it for the last week, one section at a time.
$100 and a little work vs. $1,200.
You do the math

Hope your generic version is good, hope you used a clean ph balanced spray rig.

Never saw dad get really angry. Saw disappointment a few times, but he was a happy soul. I miss him

Smoking pot is bad.

1) It destroys brain cells and makes you dumb.

2) It leads to stronger drugs.

3) It's bad for your longs

4) Many companies will not hire/employ you if you smoke pot.

This is a really ignorant take.

I still haven't been told what stops them now.

We are not being stopped. But just imagine that instead of getting your natty lights at the Walmart, you had to meet someone in the parking lot and buy unlabeled beer you hoped were real natty lights.

Better get your Bible out so you can teach the proper rules for slavery.

Good point, but wasted here.

Appeal to Common Belief

argumentum ad populum

(also known as: appeal to accepted belief, appeal to democracy, appeal to widespread belief, appeal to the masses, appeal to belief, appeal to general belief, appeal to the majority, argument by consensus, consensus fallacy, authority of the many, bandwagon fallacy, appeal to the number, argumentum ad numerum, argumentum consensus gentium, appeal to the mob, appeal to the gallery, consensus gentium, mob appeal, social conformance, value of community, vox populi)

Description: When the claim that most or many people in general or of a particular group accept a belief as true is presented as evidence for the claim. Accepting another person’s belief, or many people’s beliefs, without demanding evidence as to why that person accepts the belief, is lazy thinking and a dangerous way to accept information.

This is your argument

I would like to say that it saddens me that so many discount the possibility of a Spirit realm. String theory posits 10 dimensions beyond the four that we can measure. Religion claims the existence of at least one additional realm. Religion claims such a "place" on the basis of religious experience and eyewitness testimony. Science calms ten as a way of further explaining the workings of this physical universe. What is the different? Why is one supposition more credible than the next? In fact we understand very little about existence. And it seems all this skepticism is just a way of declaring that the very little we know is all there is.

I, as an agnostic, don’t discount the possibility of a spirit realm. I am saying as clear as I can that I don’t know.
As an atheist, I am saying that I haven’t heard a logical reason to believe in any God.
I am more than willing to hear evidence, claims are all I’ve gotten so far

Oh, so you ARE making a claim. A claim that has no rational basis according to your worldview. That's all I asked; what is the basis for you to make this claim?

I’m stating my opinion. If you have a good argument for why slavery is moral, I’m all ears. I haven’t heard an argument that has convinced me otherwise yet, give it your best shot
