“The study of theology, as it stands in Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion.
Thomas Paine in the Age of Reason.

ChatGPT produces plausible text—sometimes wrong—with confidence. OpenAI’s own docs warn it can generate convincing but inaccurate answers. Quoting a ChatGPT paragraph isn’t evidence; it’s an appeal to authority to a system that explicitly isn’t one. If you want a proof, make testable predictions that don’t depend on hand-picked conventions.…[Read more]

Sunday School 7 months agoMy friends work as consultants in the “Healthtech” industries and their contracts are up at end of this year. They would have stayed but their contracts are not going to be renewed. It’s almost like companies with contracts and connections to the HSS suddenly don’t want qualified doctors with Masters degrees working there. What they love about…[Read more]

Sunday School 7 months agoCalling for a military presence in Portland is political theater and completely unnecessary. It inflates problems into existential crises when, in reality, the city operates with schools, businesses and daily life as normal. Overall violent crime is on the way down. I have a few friends living there and they love living the city and the wider…[Read more]

Sunday School 7 months, 1 week ago@PopeBeanie Thanks, I have fixed the link. I think you will enjoy the video.
The idea for the 250th anniversary ‘celebrations’ came from a discussion I had with some Americans at the tailgate party for the “Steelers vs Vikings” game in Dublin. I should have put “lol” at the end of my comment….or maybe not 🙂

Sunday School 7 months, 1 week agoNext year the 250th anniversary of 1776 will see MAGA argue all their talking points to further justify what they are doing and politics will be fully aligned with Christian Nationalism.

Right now, a two-state solution is still the formula most of the world endorses but the chances of either side accepting it are slim. Netanyahu and right-wing coalition partners oppose a sovereign Palestinian state, citing security concerns and biblical/historic claims. Many ministers advocate permanent control over much of the West Bank. Most…[Read more]
