  1. How should Christians address evil?

    When I was younger I'd spam all of the cutting edge and cool things I learned everywhere. It took a long time but eventually I realized people don't appreciate facts & science the way I appreciate those things. Once I realized I was only wasting peoples time sharing things they weren't interested in and in many cases - would prefer not to know. It became much easier to honor peoples wishes. So whatever is written in the present will always be somewhat watered down and diluted. Until the day comes when people can embrace knowledge with a clearer conscience and mind.
  2. How should Christians address evil?

    Wait. Are you referring to me? This is like... 2/10 effort on my part. This is a watered down and mild version of what I originally thought about posting. I'm too wild and uncensored for daobums now? LOL
  3. How should Christians address evil?

    Life is always traumatic for animals in the wild.
  4. How should Christians address evil?

    How many different ethnicities of people exist in 2025? Many. How many ethnicities existed during Noah's era. Fewer. How long did it take humanity to branch off into different ethnic groups. Not as long as most might guess. Likewise there may be 11,000 species of bird now. But there definitely were far fewer in past eras. Due to something evolutionists proudly refer to as: speciation. I think this is what they call: basic science. But can it be that basic considering I would guess most are unaware of it.

    John Wick ^ For better or worse, there is nothing like it that has been done before.
  6. Spiritual warfare

    Well, think of it this way. For decades I thought americans won World War II. Watching a documentary sometime past 2020 led me to look up WW II wartime casualties. World War II Wartime Casualties United States: 400,000 Soviet Union: 8,000,000 This led to me thinking it may have been russia that actually won World War II.
  7. Should I read more

    Christians currently have no Holy Grail or Lance of Longinus. No one has seen the Ark of the Covenant in millennia. The Temple of Solomon remains destroyed - wherever it is. The only item God left behind for christians to inherit is a book. The Bible. Do christians underestimate the relevance of this. Do I underestimate the importance. Should I read more. ?
  8. Should I read more

    AI made this for me with a few text prompts. Ain't it beautiful.
  9. Spiritual warfare

    Spiritual warfare is an interesting topic. There is no written history of it. Making it easier for those of today to repeat mistakes of the past. In that way spiritual warfare might trend more towards being self destructive than cost effective.
  10. 24/7 attacks/hacks

    It all comes down to what type of people we want to be. And what kind of world we desire to live in. The details are only baby steps in those directions. Almost no one wants to be remembered as a fool. That alone defines what our future direction will be.
  11. "Wheat Belly"

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/08/12/farmers-aging-rapidly-is-food-at-risk/85577304007/ Average age for a farmer in america is 58. 40% of all farmland in the country is owned by farmers with an average age of 65. Is grain economy is bad. We may have to find alternative options soon.
  12. There are many things said about the pharmaceutical industry that are simply not true. Mixed versus non mixed heritage is difficult to define. I think purebred trends towards having certain traits be more strongly defined. Mixed heritage is more flexible with less definition. If mixed heritage ages faster, it would likely be due to increased stress associated with not having as strongly defined an ancestry and not fitting in as easily in society. It would be due to societal rather than purely biological reasons. Likewise with intelligence, I don't think mixed heritage leads to smarter children. But rather children more flexible and adaptive in their cognitive function. Like you said pros and cons.
  13. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    That's the same thing I thought when I saw bears in the bible. "There are bears in the middle east?!" Googled it. "Brown bear." Wouldn't be surprised if it was a similar species in portugal.
  14. I'm not certain where LA would rate in mixed ethnicities and cultures. Places like brazil and hawaii are more mixed over longer spans of time. LA's multiculturalism is more recent and less defined. While on the opposite end of the spectrum, nations like israel would rate lowest in terms of diversity. These trends carry implications which aren't much publicized. Being of mixed heritage correlates with having a better genetic diversity and better immune system. While less genetic diversity can correlate with reduced immune system function and other negative health conditions. This is illustrated by israel recognizing their geographic isolation translates to reduced genetic diversity and reduced immune function on average. Leading to israel becoming one of the most vaccinated nations on earth during COVID. Interestingly enough africans are usually known for having high genetic diversity. But for whatever reason it usually doesn't translate to good assimilation and adaptability for immigrants. Which might suggest culture and family values are more important than genes in terms of being able to assimilate and adapt to society. There was a study done on infants born addicted to crack cocaine over I think it was a multi decade period of time. Where it was found being born into poverty and surrounded by negative conditions and negative people, was far more debilitating a condition then being an infant born addicted to crack. (Due to the mother being an addict while pregnant) There might be observations and conclusions that could be drawn from existing and old data. But for whatever reason that's not something that happens much at all today.
  15. The biblical description of angels is left open to interpretation. There is no exact consensus & hasn't been in forever. Ezekiel contains descriptions which are even more controversial.
  16. 4th Narnia book which was written in 1953: "That is old Father Time, who was once a King in Overland. Now he has sunk down into the Deep Realm and lies dreaming of all the things that are done in the upper world. Many sink down and few return to the sunlit lands. They say he will wake at the end of the world." ―Mullugutherum[src] I was thinking there might be references to this in the book of revelation. Since the giant wakes in a later book and if I remember correctly blows a trumpet. Of which there are multiple trumpets blown in revelation. I never read much HP Lovecraft. But what I did read gave me the impression if I read long enough I might see something unusual. Occult work? Haha. I wouldn't know anything about that.
  17. There is no need as it is an old thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Wind_in_the_Door This book was 1st published in 1973. These books & images have been in christian bookshops for 50 years.
  18. "Wheat Belly"

    1950s era wheat was engineered to multiply yields, at the expense of becoming less nutritious and less digestable for people. Issues with wheat consumption are likely older than most realize.
  19. "Wheat Belly"

    All of which fuels the latest einkorn wheat craze.
  20. Also there is a species of octopus known to revert back to sexual immaturity after having reaching it. Biologists claim it might be considered "immortal" as this process can continue indefinitely in theory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turritopsis_dohrnii
  21. Anyways, if it might be said some depictions of angelic anatomy are a central area with multiple limbs extending outwards like spokes. If our goal was to identify species on earth with a similar anatomy in an effort to have some idea of how angel anatomy might function. And some authors were inclined to define such species as being loose variant or antithesis to angels. "If angel anatomy looks like this, maybe an octopus could resemble some type of fallen angel? Cross that with a dragon to make cthulhu." Are there species with this anatomical symmetry aside from octopus and starfish?
