I dunno half the board when he first showed up. Maybe it was just @TheFrontRunner doing his usual paranoid thing. Just thought it was funny cause of how complicated the canuck's religious history was. He knew all this stuff, he lived it lol.

I'll admit you've done a pretty good job of being from "Eastern Kentucky" and being Canadian.

What happened between 0 and 16th century to make everything before that wrong? Was Luther a prophet? A distant cousin of Jesus? Seems sketchy.
It’s not so much that everything before that was wrong. Kings and leaders used totalitarian control in the name of Christianity to control the people. The Catholic Church claimed Apolostic Succession, which meant they claimed that the line of Popes extended from the apostle Peter all the way to the current Pope. They placed the “infalliability” of the Pope and traditions on an equal level as scripture. There had been pockets of resistance throughout the years leading up to the Reformation. It just happened to finally come to a head in the 16th century and corruption in the church was so great there were enough people to push back together. The Reformation sought to move back to sound Biblical doctrine of the original teachings of early Christianity which were that the scriptures were the basis for teaching & practice, salvation came by God’s grace through faith in Christ alone, and was for God’s glory. That’s not to say that there aren’t true believers or those who aren’t in either group.
 
Thanks for the reply, Blue. I guess I fall into the category that being a good person is paramount regardless of belief system. I believe in God because I cannot reconcile the fact that our reality was created by a random event, but I come up short on a specific religious belief such as Jesus or any of the other purported saviors of the world. At the same time, I've got no hostility to anyone who chooses to believe in something or believe in nothing. The world is a complex place. We are living in a time where the outside influences are overwhelming. It's hard to block out all the noise and pick a path. I admire those who are able to be single threaded enough to pick a said path. I'm not there yet.

Yeah I feel ya. Im pretty much live and let live at this point in my life, don’t believe in forcing it. Some will say Christianity does that, but that would be untrue. People who claim the faith use it for many purposes other than what it was intended just like everything. Bad apples everywhere. I’d say a small percentage of what is being labeled as “Christian” in America is authentic Christianity anyway. Looks vastly different than in small communities in somewhere like Kenya for example.

If anything, I'd say that Christians are more or less passive. I've seen very little evidence of Christians being aggressive as it relates to their beliefs. If I had to make a call, I'd say that most who grandstand in the name of Christianity are more likely to be bad people. As counterintuitive as it sounds, I'd say good, legitimate Christians are more likely to live their lives and let others live their lives as they see fit.
 
The conversation was about the basis of American law and human law. People claimed American law was directly based on the Ten Commandments. It wasn't, it was based on the entirety of human law history. The Torah was itself a small piece of a much larger legal tradition in the ancient near east. Americans only have this delusion about the Commandments because biblical history is widely taught while no one mentions Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Scythian, or Persian history. They were all happening simultaneously and had all arisen from literally millennia of human society in the area. The Bronze Age and even earlier in that part of the globe was a highly interconnected web of cultural, economic, and political exchange.


This is exactly what I've been saying all day. The legal basics were already universal at its time of creation. It has remained notable and exceptional in history for these other reasons you highlight.
I didn't say the ten commandments. I said judeo christian ethics. English common law and US law was derived from christian values and passages in the bible led directly to things like being able to face your accuser or needing someone to give sworn testimony in order to convict. English common law and US law were different than Jewish law because it wasn't based on the old testament code but was based on the ethics in the whole bible.

Riden with Biden baby!!! Prices up because erbody is Rollin in the dough!!!
 
This is the worst economy in modern times. Effing retarded. That isn't debatable

I had a buddy text me the other day super excited that his 2017 Silverado that he paid $45k for was worth $42k now.

After 20 minutes of trying to convince him that was a bad thing, I finally had to disengage. The lack of understanding as it pertains to the current economy is mind boggling.
 
Due to the shortage of meat, I tried a "cauliflower steak" recipe I found on Instagram. Not bad, and considering I can buy heads of cauliflower for $1.30, I think it's something I'll continue to do. Slice it up into 1" thick slabs, hit it with olive oil and salt and pepper, bake for 25 mins and it's a solid main course.
 
Hey, I am a conservative that likes Neil Young's music. I'd love to punch the guy in the face but still listen to his 70s stuff.

Lots of good stuff there. Same with Springsteen. Conversely, I like a lot of Kid Rock stuff. Good Music >>>>>>> politics.

I love Buffalo wings. The best wings I can get here in Orlando are in my air fryer. Just fantastic.
Due to Covid, I've become quite the chef since going out to restaurants sucks now with the staffing shortages. Let me tell you about wings.

  • Raw frozen wings... fresh regular... no big difference for this.
  • The key is frying them to a nice crisp. The best way to do this is double frying. Fry for 10 min around 300, then take out, up the heat, and finish at 375 for 5 min.
  • Smaller wings - in my opinion - turn out better than the larger ones. With smaller wings, it's like 7 min on 300 and 4 at 375.
  • Most Buffalo sauce is a combo of butter, franks red hot, and vinegar. The sauce is actually the easy part. Look for recipes on line and find what works best.
  • My approach to wings... moderately crispy and wet with sauce
Give it a shot... pretty easy to do at home.
 
Ok, at this point, I think it's fair to say we aren't going to change each other's minds on our religious affiliations and doctrinal beliefs. I will say that I respect your passion and tenacity. As far as I'm concerned, this topic is closed to further discussion.
Well my original point was that there were vast differences.

I think we've demonstrated that. ;)
 
Before that was the time of the Church. There was only one Church in western Europe, led by the Pope in Rome, and they were the boss and all the priests and everyone was all them. That's what we know of today as the Catholic Church. By the 16th century the Church had been around for over a thousand years and so was, as you can imagine, corrupt as all get out. So a smalltime German priest named Martin Luther compiled his grievances with the Church and famously nailed them to the All Saints' Church door in Wittenburg for all to see. People agreed with his complaints and while they were initially meant as reforms to the Church, the Church didn't take too kindly to that so ultimately they broke away from the Church(Catholics) and formed their own 'truer' version of Christianity based on Martin Luther's protests(Protestants). Those Protestants have been splintering off into their own smaller groups with different interpretations of the Bible ever since.
LOL somebody's been reading Wikipedia...

Your understanding of this is muddy, specious, and rudimentary. And wrong.

Air fryer is great for one thing - convenience in cooking any frozen garbage. Wings should only be cooked one way - deep fried in oil.

Christians aren't commanded to go around condemning people to hell. Their job is to spread the gospel to everyone, everywhere. People can accept or not accept. This notion of Bible thumpers is overblown. I give out gospel tracts nearly every day but I don't get in people's faces about it. I offer them a free gift, something to read, and they invariably accept with a smile and thanks. I leave the rest to God.
 
KBA is back and not even trying to hide that it's him...at least he dropped the retarded charade.

Not debatable?? Seriously dude...look at the facts. Maybe if you are working as a carnival rodie or panhandling....but for the rest of us unemployment is low and GDP is high. Housing starts are thru the roof as well. Get out of your basement Gassy and visit a downtown city like Louisville or Nashville.
Even with a snow burst and freezing temps it was rocking downtown tonight. People have money to burn. That's why the prices are up. Its the roaring 20s all over again with the pandemic waning and everyone with a job under Biden. As long as Trump stays out of office the good times will keep rolling!
You're brainwashed by Fix News and hiding in your house. Get out and spend some $$$$ like the rest of us with good jobs. Seriously...don't be such a pessimist because of the clown media telling you it's not good. Go out for a change and see for yourself. Try downtown Lex on a Saturday night if you don't believe me.

Exactly. Christians to me are not noticeable at all. Conversely, Muslims are out there acting like idiots and demanding superiority. Good on you for being passive and not pushing your beliefs on others.
 
Wow that's pretty exclusionary. I've bought wings at UNCOUNTED wing restaurants and none of them match up to the ones I create in my air fryer.

Didn't mean to bury the air fryer lol. I have one and it's great for cooking stuff for the kiddos. If I am cooking wings they are going in the oil every time. I've made wings in the air fryer when I've not wanted to wait for the oil to heat, and they are edible. To me the air fryer is simply an appliance of speed/convenience. It's worse than an oven and worse than a deep fryer, but a decent combination of both.

Every city I have ever lived in has at least one Catholic High School. Do you also consider that indoctrination?
They try to be. The evangelical schools are generally for after high school. But as for catholic schools. From my experience the overwhelming majority of students dont buy into the BS. They are there because they have wealthy parents who are afraid their kids won't be special if they go to public school. The catholic high schools push more kids away from faith then they draw in. It's kind of the wrong time in someone's life to try and sell the catholic dogma. Horny teens don't want to hear that shit.

Some things are great in the air fryer. Some things are really shitty. Tater tots in the air are a horrible mess that fall apart. Some kinds of fries do really well. Any kind of chicken does good. But the air fryer isn't any faster. It's actually slower than deep frying. But as you said, just about anything kids will eat works Good in the air.
