I hate strawmen.

  • I'm not talking about a debate over "should homosexuality/same-sex-marriage be illegal/banned", just morality in general. It's kind of hard to believe in and justify objective morality without some form of religion. From what I can tell, it's the Humanists who understand this

  • Never heard that one, that's quite mental. One thing I heard from a young earth creationist was that "global warming isn't accurate because it's using an assumption that the earth is 6-10,000 years old".... Although in that case, wouldn't it be much more urgent?

  • Never heard of anyone doing that ngl. Except possibly secularists with arguments about certain morality, eg, "without using the Bible, explain how homosexuality is immoral" although I think I've only come across that one twice

  • I don't get it

  • That's not his actual surname. Mountbatten-Windsor is a surname given to descendants of royals who aren't working members (or ex royals in Andrew's case). While Charles still doesn't have a surname, generally if you faced a situation where you had a database which absolutely must take a surname, he'd likely simply put down "Windsor" as the Mountbatten thing was a compromise made between the late Queen Elizabeth II and the family of the late Prince Philip.

    It kind of applies to working royals as well.

    However even then, I believe that would probably only be used by Princess Anne. As the children of the Prince and Princess of Wales will probably use the word "Wales" in place of a surname, and previously would have likely used "Cambridge" in terms of school records. I don't know how this works out for the rest of the family as Princess Beatrice and Eugenie's father (formerly York) lost his title and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh's children aren't working royals/prince/princess despite the fact they are normally perfectly entitled to the title, as they are a grandchild of the monarch. (Although with Harry and Andrew gone, some are speculating that Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor might step up).

    Queen Elizabeth II still has some living cousins such as HRH The Duke of Kent and HRH The Duke of Gloucester. They aren't really well known but are still carrying out royal duties quite diligently (well, that would also depend on your viewpoint on royal duties, etc)

  • There is a difference

  • Depends what value. It is good to be contributing to society. But you can still be contributing and not working 996

  • Dunno if you're at the absolute bottom. A lot of careers would appreciate the professional/business experience anyway, especially interchangable skills.

  • That's an interesting thing, in many countries such as the UK, it is perfectly legal to just not have a surname. Probably the best example is our own King, Charles.

  • Whosoever will be saved: before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholick Faith.

    Which Faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled: without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.

    And the Catholick Faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;

    Neither confounding the Persons: nor dividing the Substance.

    For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son: and another of the Holy Ghost.

    But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one: the Glory equal, the Majesty co-eternal.

    Such as the Father is, such is the Son: and such is the Holy Ghost.

    The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate: and the Holy Ghost uncreate.

    The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible: and the Holy Ghost incomprehensible.

    The Father eternal, the Son eternal: and the Holy Ghost eternal.

    And yet they are not three eternals: but one eternal.

    As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated: but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible.

    So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty: and the Holy Ghost Almighty.

    And yet they are not three Almighties: but one Almighty.

    So the Father is God, the Son is God: and the Holy Ghost is God.

    And yet they are not three Gods: but one God.

    So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord: and the Holy Ghost Lord.

    And yet not three Lords: but one Lord.

    For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity: to acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord;

    So are we forbidden by the Catholick Religion: to say there be three Gods, or three Lords.

    The Father is made of none: neither created, nor begotten.

    The Son is of the Father alone: not made, nor created, but begotten.

    The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son: neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.

    So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons: one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.

    And in this Trinity none is afore, or after other: none is greater, or less than another;

    But the whole three Persons are co-eternal together: and co-equal.

    So that in all things, as is aforesaid: the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped.

    He therefore that will be saved: must thus think of the Trinity.

    Furthermore it is necessary to everlasting salvation: that he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    For the right Faith is that we believe and confess: that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man;

    God, of the Substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds: and Man, of the Substance of his Mother, born in the world;

    Perfect God, and Perfect Man: of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting;

    Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead: and inferior to the Father, as touching his Manhood.

    Who although he be God and Man: yet he is not two, but one Christ;

    One, not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh: but by taking of the Manhood into God;

    One altogether, not by confusion of Substance: but by unity of Person.

    For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man: so God and Man is one Christ.

    Who suffered for our salvation: descended into hell, rose again the third day from the dead.

    He ascended into heaven, he sitteth on the right hand of the Father, God Almighty: from whence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

    At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies: and shall give account for their own works.

    And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting: and they that have done evil into everlasting fire.

    This is the Catholick Faith: which except a man believe faithfully, he cannot be saved.

  • Jesus is God though

  • Funny american cowboys like Dukes of Hazzard. Once I was at a Ceilidh and they started playing the Dixie. In the UK, it would be weird though to fly the flag itself though. But it has appeared in strange places, like plaques commemorating that they were linked with a historical event. Probably something done out of ignorance, though.

    I know it is a pro-slavery flag, but I think here most people are just ignorant about it and think it's a cool American cowboy pattern

  • If god is omnipotent he could just snip his fingers and will satan out of existence.

    He will.

    Something like the great flood is also a horrible evil when, god being omnipotent, he could just snip his fingers and make people not sinners

    The flood was God punishing and destroying evil. People had free will

    If he's not actually omnipotent, sure, then a lot of things change, though overall I wouldn't describe old testament god in particular as kind anyway. Also people seem to really insist on the omnipotence.

    The Old Testament God is the same as the one of the New Testament.
