Why do people say catholics aren’t Christian? I’ve heard it a few times, it’s baffling.

No, this was in support of my statement that Jesus was a terrible teacher.

John 8 starts with the pericope of the women caught in adultery, one of the edits I mentioned…
Do you know what John 10 doesn’t say?
The father and I and the holy ghost are one, and three, but most of the time one. 3 persons, one being. Like why didn’t he try explaining it to someone that wouldn’t try to kill him, and that was writing things down…

the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins
He says the son of man has the authority to forgive sins. If he is trying to explain that he is god, he is doing a terrible job. To me it seems like he is saying “you think only god can forgive sins, I’ll show you you’re wrong”
If someone were to wrong me, would my child be able to forgive them? Nope.
You’re saying that your omnipotent god can’t authorize someone to forgive sins on its behalf?

Pretty sure he claims to be the son of man.

Dan McClellan is a textbook example of this. He is known to block people whom responds to his videos. which is bad faith.
I know he blocks people if he decides they are not engaging productively. Like in the video you linked InspiringPhilosphy says that: when Jesus knew the doubters wondered “who can forgive sins but God”… InspiringPhilosphy insists that they were talking about God the father, but trinitarian belief didn’t exist at the time of the composition of the gospel of Mark right? I suspect Dan lost patience with the retrojection of Trinitarianism.
The Bible hasn’t been heavily edited. There isn’t much proof for this, notably, no original “unedited” documents.
These are the first three edits that come to mind: Pericope of the women caught in adultery is absent from all early manuscripts if the gospel of John. Johannine comma being absent from all Greek manuscripts (except for the forgery from like 1000 years later), short ending of Mark. Also the pseudepigraphal letters of Paul, are editing in a sense.
Yahweh was worshipped in a pantheon though, and the Bible records this. But it’s the writings of a monotheistic sect.
What is monotheism? Is it compatible with belief in the power of rival gods like in 2 Kings 3:27?

I guess you’re referring to Dan McClellan. I’ve consumed a lot of his content via YouTube and his podcast.
It generally seems like a pretty impartial, critical analysis of the data, rather than speculation. But given that he has dominated my understanding of the data I recognize I’ve got a pretty big blindspot. Where would you point me to refute the view that the bible seems to be a source that has been heavily edited to remove its polytheistic origins?

- Comment on What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts 5 weeks ago:
Yeah I went 80% next which was too high. 72% is very close to the answer in the link.
- Comment on What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts 5 weeks ago:
I did
V=pi×r²×h
and estimated:
r=4 (from some at the top left)
h=12
This gave 603. The link said too high, so realized I’d neglected packing factor. Google said that spheres typically pack at 64% efficiency, so I guessed 386. Too low.

- Comment on Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me? 2 months ago:
As a happily married 39 year old I look at the modern dating scene with horror. I think that he probably doesn’t “just” want to sleep with you, he probably just likes having someone like you in his life. People can be complex, we construct these binaries that simplify things, reality is more complicated. If you enjoy hanging out with a person, do that. Don’t lead him on just to get to go on nice dates, and also be aware that he might be a pig that does just want to sleep with you. Maybe he mentioned going on trips to try to entice you into a relationship. Don’t get into a position where you feel like you owe him anything.
The age difference is pretty big but there’s a lot of loneliness in the world. So maybe talk to your mutual friends, does he have a history of chasing younger women?

On top of the fact that the gases have lower molecular weights than air, they are also at 37°C or 310K ie ~5% lighter still.

Little Brown Mushrooms, the most important guideline to amateur mushroom tasting is to only eat half of each mushroom, so that the coroner can figure out which ones are toxic.

Just to spell it out for people: myriad means 10,000 but has been used as a stand in for “huge variety” for so long that people don’t know that anymore.

Facebook sucks and has for quite some time.
In Canada we passed a regulation that social media sites have to pay our media companies to link to their articles. Google is paying up, but Facebook said no, and has banned news. It has made Facebook here much less terrible.

Ithink you could be more charitable in your reply. Transistors were developed to replace tubes in telephone systems… Okay but the tubes had been developed to where they were because of their usefulness in radio.
And while computers don’t inherently rely on radio, it’s radio communication that’s taken computers from one in every office to one in everyone’s pocket. Right? The main thrust of the previous commenter is true.

I saw a quote in the newspaper this morning:
We were losing hundreds of billions of dollars with China now we’re essentially not doing business with China. Therefore, we’re saving hundreds of billions of dollars. Very simple.
It’s just so incredibly wrong and stupid.
