Crap video. if god can prevent evil in heaven then why hasn't he done it already? Please, a 10 year old would understand how illogical it is.

It works like this:

At the time God made everything, there was no evil. There was only good and better.

God works in everything, because none of it would work at all if God did not work it. Since there wasn't any evil originally, there was no reason for God to NOT move in full force with the thing He was doing... bringing to birth children.

Then evil entered through the children and the devil selecting evil rather than good. But God was already moving in the direction of maintaining all things. You don't simply tell God to put on the brakes when He does something with His strength. The thing He did with His strength was to maintain everything... some of it with free choice, some of it evil, and some good.

The thing that God is doing to get rid of evil is, God is making a new universe where evil will not be allowed to enter. This present universe will crash, and once it does, there will be no remembrance of either the good or evil here. So, God is destroying the evil in His own way, even though a few people must live in pain for a hundred years here. When it is done, there will be no remembrance that it even happened.

God will take the people who are on His side - in favor of Him - to the new universe. The others will be destroyed in Hell, because they are the evil that God is getting rid of. Of course, because of the kind of beings people are, it will take all eternity for them to be destroyed. But they asked for it.

Cool

''God is making a new universe where evil will not be allowed to enter.'' Then why didn't he make this one like that to begin with LOL, how illogical can you guys be??

If you follow that regression of fault, you will end up at God, he who is responsible for everything.

According to your twisted logic, parents suffer having a baby with birth defects, not only by the choices they make or don't make, but by the choices of their parents (as did the baby), and so on, all the way to God.

All your "blame the victim's parents" logic leads you to your main character.

Remind me who created and then punished Adam and Eve?

Birth defects are caused by many things they can be a result of genetics, lifestyle choices and behaviors, exposure to certain medications and chemicals, infections during pregnancy, a combination of these factors, ect.

Many of these drug use, alcohol consumption, smoking during pregnancy, inadequate prenatal care,
untreated bacterial infections can be traced to deliberate human action or inaction. Others like family history of birth defects or other genetic disorders are currently outside the realm of human choice. These are hopefully problems of ignorance and will be resolvable in the near future with our increasing knowledge.

You are correct that you can trace the ultimate cause of all events good and bad to God.  
So why did God create a universe where evil, horror, and suffering exist? The problem of evil is a deep question. Here is a short video on the subject I agree with.

Why Does God Allow Evil?

I didn't watch all of the video , but it seemed that there were multiple issues involved.

The first one is fraud. If a person purchases a drink believing it to be alcoholic, and it isn't, then that is fraud in my opinion. If you don't want to do it, then state that you can only serve that person with an alcohol free drink.

The alcohol may not be the worst element in the drink. Some of the other ingredients may contain more damaging chemicals

Cheap alcohol is poison, and I don't think anybody should drink it.

I'm not a doctor, but I would have thought that a single glass of red wine could relax a pregnant woman, and provide her with an iron supplement that could be beneficial to both her and the baby. As with most things, moderation is the key - pregnant women shouldn't get drunk.

Lack of knowledge and education is another factor here. The mother should have sufficient knowledge, and care for the baby enough to avoid excessive alcohol, McDonalds food, sugary drinks, drugs or other harmful products.

Also I believe that more damage is done by the administration of pharmaceutical drugs to both the parent and the baby. I understand that the US now has a population where over 50% is sick or diseased, and is dependent on so called health aids.

Moderation is not key, what the fuck are you even talking about, have you ever seen a bottle of wine in your life? Almost all of them have a sticker with a pregnant women saying you shouldn't drink wine if you are pregnant. If a woman drinks during pregnancy the baby has the risk of suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome. Yes it's true that the more you drink the more chances the fetus has of suffering from the syndrome, however, even small quantities of alcohol can produce this syndrome even if it's unlikely.

Have you calculated your odds of winning one of those jackpots? Is it 1 in 1000, 1 in 1 million, what is it exactly? Even if it was 1 in 1000, you could still lose more than 1000 bets and not get a single jackpot, you could in fact lose 10k bets, 100k bets, etc.

Indeed, since the probability always reset whenever you spin.  The chance of winning the next bet isn't accumulating if we lost.  So there is always a possibility that we wont win in a 100 bet even if the chance is 50%.

And, if you (OP) are suspicious about the game, you can always ask the authority to inspect the softaware for you.  I bet you have the money to pay for these inspectors. 

When choosing up slots if you are really serious on getting some wins then better to choose the low house edge ones but op decide to stay on Bitcasino because of the thinking that he do already spend big amount on that place and hope that the site pay him off for that reputation but it didnt work that way.

Even with a low house edge, this is not an assurance that a player can win the roll.  Remember  it is still a game of chance and chance favors the house so there is a bigger possibility that player will lose.

Each case is different, if the odds are 1 in 10 and you played 10k bets and never won a single one, then yes, it does look pretty suspicious, could happen but is certainly not likely. I generally don't play if I can't verify my bets, simple as that, online casinos can do all sort of things to cheat even though they really don't need to since you are losing in the long term anyways.

Children born with birth defects or HIV did not have much choice, didn't they?  What sin did the newborns commit?

You make as much sense as a hippopotamus explaining Shakespeare.


Newborns clearly have not sinned. They may suffer however do to the choices made outside of their control. Children born with HIV are suffering because of the choices of the elder generation usually their father or mother. Human choices do harm the innocent.

Children with cancer are dying because a part of them has broken away and defected. It no longer acts in its assigned role for the greater good but instead strengths itself over the short run via unrestrained growth. Left unchecked that growth will eventually disrupt the delicate balance necessary for life and will end in death.

There is no reason why a loving god would allow that, there is no point for a baby to be alive for only a few days just to die, it's just suffering for no reason and god could prevent it without tampering with free will, he doesn't because he doesn't exist.

''It could only be averted by removing human free will and making us slaves'' Are you talking about going to heaven here? Because that's what has to happen if god wants to prevent evil there.
286  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Health and Religion on: July 28, 2019, 04:04:07 PM
It's fairly easy, if you think god is all powerful and knows everything, the bible can be logically disproved. An all powerful, all knowing god would not get mad and kill everyone because he 'failed', he can't fail, he can't be mad, he can't have our feelings.

God can’t fail we can. We can fail because we have been given freedom. Our choices are not compelled.

This article had a nice summary on this topic.

God’s Anger
by Caleb Colley Ph.D.
http://www.apologeticspress.org/APContent.aspx?category=12&article=1462

''God’s anger is rationally retributive. His anger is His direct, calculated response to sin.''

Actually, his 'anger' is nothing but rational. Consider this example, you know everything, you can do anything. A rock falls on your friend and kills him, do you get mad? Of course not because you could have prevented it, you allowed it to happen and you already knew thousands of years ago that it would happen so there is simply no logical reason to get mad. I understand humans have free will, so what? God created them that way and knew what would happen so again, no reason to be mad.

Also big logical inconsistencies, god wanted us to have free will but he himself killed millions.

If you want to check if you are within the statistic, do the following:

1) Ask Bitcasino for the house edge of the slots you played

2) Calculate the total amount of all your bets

Example: If your total bets are 20 million Euro and the house edge is 3,5%, then you statistically lost 700,000 Euro.

It doesn't work like that, I mean you can check it like that but it only works if you have placed a huge amount of bets. For example if you have 1 in 10.000 chance of winning a bet and you bet 21.000 times, you 'should' expect to win 2 times, however you could have lost all 21k bets and that wouldn't mean you are not within the statistic, you could also win 15 times, it would only work after placing millions of bets.

So in summary, you have no retort to my points, and your argument consists of the narrative is true because that's what the official story is?

You have no points, just a bunch of witnesses that think they saw something, 1 of them saw a guy shooting that thinks was not a police officer and the others saw some dudes in black walking in a line. Why should I even believe them in the first place? Why do you believe them?

You seem to have an infatuation with trying to use comments as part of the argument of the substance of the article itself as if they are the same unit, and not created by random 3rd parties. I have scripts blocked so I don't read them anyway, and the comments are not part of my source.

"you always come up with some weird conspiracy shit, every time a famous actor/singer etc dies..."

BTW what the fuck does Sandy Hook have to do with ANY of this other than that they were both shootings? I never brought up Sandy Hook. This is more projection on your part, and totally off topic.

Everyone notice how he totally avoided responding to my very valid points in favor of this collective blame?

How do you know it was ''wildly''? We know where the shooter was hours after the incident, obviously the police aren't gods and can't know exactly where the shooter was, if there was only 1 shooter, if the shooter wasn't running already, etc, apply some logic for god's sake.

''First of all a police officer would never return fire up into a hotel like that for risk of hitting bystanders'' Yes he would, I can show you plenty of videos of police shooting risking hitting bystanders, stop using fallacies.

''Second of all, police don't just get to randomly shoot people they suspect.'' Again using fallacies, police are people, they make mistakes, I don't know why it has to be 'randomly' in your head, he might have seen someone who had a gun or who knows.

Which quote are you talking about.

''For one thing, 11:15 is well into the near-end of the entire event, so these could be Police moving into support position.'' I was talking mainly about this, the time is indeed quite odd, don't you think? Please apply some common sense.

Common sense? Lets talk about common sense. Lets examine police protocol. Is it common sense that a police officer is firing at a target he can not see? No, police officers are trained to first identify a target before firing. It is not like the movies. They are not supposed to do things like fire into houses, through doors, or walls. If they can't see it they aren't supposed to be firing at it. Second of all one of the other things they drill into any gun owners head in any basic safety training is to always know what is behind your target. You might be aiming for an armed assailant, but if there are a bunch of kids 30ft behind him, shooting is not an option. This to a large degree also rules out a cop firing into what is basically a crowd of people running in every direction. Also as far as I remember in the report there was no mention of police on the ground firing. That is why I used the term "wildly" because if in fact your argument that "police aren't gods" and they make mistakes, and lets say one was just freaking out, that's exactly what he would be doing, firing wildly. Sound implausible? I agree, but the sad part is that is the most plausible explanation that makes any sense for it to be a police officer, your premise.

You made one quote in your statement other than quoting me directly. That quote. I know where my words came from. What did your quote come from? Give me a URL.

294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How I lost 200,000 EURO on Bitcasino.io on: July 27, 2019, 11:29:59 AM
Thanks for all the responses. I would just like to say that I do not have a gambling problem. I just can't see how one person can deposit 700k EURO in 4 months and not win a single jackpot when I'm continuously playing max bet. There are thousands of videos on the net of people winning 20k EURO+ on 2 dollar bets. I bet 100 EURO for 500 spins and win maximums of 20x in bonus games or nothing at all. Does this make sense to anyone? I keep depositing because I'm hoping to actually get lucky once.

I am playing high bets every single day on bitcasino and I never manage to win anything. I think I won 5000 EURO on a 40 euro bet this month on reactoonz after loosing 10k euro. So 50% of my cash back. I buy huge bonuses all the time like 3 x 1 BTC (14,000 USD at the time per btc) bonus buys on some of the highest RTP slots and I just get dead spins and no wins.

I simply feel that I'm being taking advantage of because I'm a "High roller" as they call me on bitcasino. My VIP points were at 20 million for 10 days before I asked them to remove my loyalty program because the bonuses were terrible. You lose 30k EURO and you get 10 free spins on one of their slots. Its a joke really.

Here are a few of the bonuses I've gotten on max bets: https://imgur.com/a/x62Kcce

Look how many high bet free spins pay 0. How is that in any way fair?

I'm betting 200 EURO, get 24 free spins and win 10% of my initial bet back. This game only gives 8 free spins when its triggered. So I re triggered the bonus twice within the bonus. Still only a 30 EURO win.

I am convinced that something is wrong on my account and that I am destined to lose on this site. Taking from me to pay everyone else is what it feels like.

You have a gambling problem if you think you have to win, that's a common misconception of gambling addicts. Oh there is no way to get 30 reds in a row, I'll bet on black now because 31 reds in a row is certainly not possible, well it is, welcome to math and statistics.

Have you calculated your odds of winning one of those jackpots? Is it 1 in 1000, 1 in 1 million, what is it exactly? Even if it was 1 in 1000, you could still lose more than 1000 bets and not get a single jackpot, you could in fact lose 10k bets, 100k bets, etc.

Hey man, you're not very familiar with the Clinton case. Anyway, Trump also perjuried himself and covered up the evidence. It's pretty clear case of obstruction.

The best part of the whole thing is Mueller openly admitted Trump could be charged with obstruction if he wasn't president.

Where these prehumans came from?  If they were not humans, breeding with Adam’s sons would not work.lol

Didn’t your God create Adam to be the first man, wait for it, from fucking dirt?

You are a hapless chap. You cling to your Christian cult no matter the obvious holes in its dogma.

Just admit that you will believe in your God no matter the evidence to the contrary.  Don’t pretend you are a rational person when you are clearly way in the Christian la-la land.

God created life from dirt.

Was the Bible RIGHT about the origins of life? Scientists believe that we may have had our beginnings in CLAY
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2488467/Scientists-believe-beginnings-CLAY.html

God created man from life over time. So yes God created Adam from dirt. It probably took a long time for that dirt to go through various shapes and forms until it became Adam.

You should read up on how new species are thought to form. They probably initially exists as subsets within a larger population before branching off so yes the very first of what we would call human beings would presumably have existed among a larger planet wide population of prehumans they could breed with. Read the article on speciation I linked upthread.

At some point prehumans who did not have knowledge of good and evil obtained it and became the fallen creatures we refer to today as humans. The first two prehumans to "eat from the tree of knowledge" and the beginnings of our species are referred to as Adam and Eve.

Anyways that's my opinion on the matter. Other interpretations are out there and people should think about the issue for themselves.

There cannot be evidence against God. That is impossible as I highlighted above. One can make the case that there is evidence against the Bible. Its a very weak case. The more one dives into that text the more depth and complexity one finds. Like layers of an onion,



Do you think god is all powerful and knows everything? Because if you do, your logic is seriously fucked, like really fucked.

''Again, you have no explanation for what an officer could possibly be shooting at from the parking lot when the source of fire was reportedly from the hotel hundreds of yards away from an elevated position.'' Nice try here, of course the source of the fire was from the hotel, that's where the shooter was, what does that have to do with a policeman being in the parking lot shooting? Maybe he was shooting a suspect? The witness also says, she ran past him, wtf?

Also from your own link, seems like some people apply logic and not believe things just because they are written, like you:

''I have a basic problem with this. For one thing, 11:15 is well into the near-end of the entire event, so these could be Police moving into support position. But as an investigative author, I also take acceptation two a couple of details in the statements. For one thing, both handwriting styles imply someone deliberately trying to alter their handwriting style, or being deceitful. It is more evident in the first report: the slant is variously left, straight up, and right, and there is a mix of both consistency and inconsistency in the shape of letters and numbers, as well as complete lack of, and good control. These things happen when someone lapses in and out of conscious effort to deceive and their natural writing style. Much is the same in the second, except for the slant issue, and better control... but too many letters are found in multiple variations. Finally, rare is it for any two witnesses to tell exactly the same story down to the fine details, unless rehearsed and fabricated. I call it the 'too many clues' syndrome.''

So in your mind police firing wildly at  "suspects" when we know the shooter was hundreds of yards away at an elevated position makes sense to you? First of all a police officer would never return fire up into a hotel like that for risk of hitting bystanders. Second of all, police don't just get to randomly shoot people they suspect. How does any of your explanation make any sense?

I would love to see where in my link you found that quote, I don't see it there. It is impossible for me to know the context of the words as a result. Also you are hinging your argument on handwriting writing analysis? Really?

How do you know it was ''wildly''? We know where the shooter was hours after the incident, obviously the police aren't gods and can't know exactly where the shooter was, if there was only 1 shooter, if the shooter wasn't running already, etc, apply some logic for god's sake.

''First of all a police officer would never return fire up into a hotel like that for risk of hitting bystanders'' Yes he would, I can show you plenty of videos of police shooting risking hitting bystanders, stop using fallacies.

''Second of all, police don't just get to randomly shoot people they suspect.'' Again using fallacies, police are people, they make mistakes, I don't know why it has to be 'randomly' in your head, he might have seen someone who had a gun or who knows.
