One: Try not to conflate the Capitol Rotunda with the Sistine Chapel...dope.

And shit, my mother is older than having "In god we trust" on our paper money...one of the stupider things Eisenhower did to make sure we had some sort of moral high ground during the cold war....

The flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, the Egyptians, all new testament things, Did Jesus not say to love others as you want to be loved? Part of the new covenant right?

The US was not founded as a Christian country. (famous christian nationalist lie, I wont even try to convince someone who most likely thinks that David Barton and Ken Ham are reliable sources of knowledge)

What faith based only things to I believe in, praytell? Germ Theory? Evolution? Round Earth? Heliocentric Solar System? So much scientific based proof. (Which you will probably refute, and I will not engage in this nonsense with you)

Its not hard, it just unintuitive and depends on your understanding of circumference and angular momentum.

Analysis and solutions

First solution If the smaller circle depends on the larger one (Case I), the larger circle's motion forces the smaller to traverse the larger’s circumference. If the larger circle depends on the smaller one (Case II), then the smaller circle's motion forces the larger circle to traverse the smaller circle’s circumference. This is the simplest solution.

Second solution

Well, both inner and outer wheel takes same time to travel from one point to another, so let it be T. as T is same, but circumferences are different, of course their linear velocities will be different. (Let r = radius of inner circle, R = radius of outer) so v(inner) = 2πr/T, V(outer) = 2πR/T where v < V. Now lets think of it in the angular perspective. We know v = rω^2. for cases of both wheels, as v and r are both varying, ω must stay constant for both as in an equation like (F = kx) if two variables are changing one variable is constant. so as ω is constant, and we previously mentioned T is constant so using θ = ω/T we can say angular displacement must remain same for both inner and outer wheel at all points in time. I think that's why both make a 360 degree rotation at the same despite inner circle having a smaller circumference.

That is a weird take on the purported "Prince of Peace".

Do you feel the same righteous indignation for the Muslims that are being killed? And in far greater numbers than the Christians in those areas. What about the oppressed and slaughtered of other faiths?

As for proof, prove to me that Jesus was god...Prove to me that god exists...Prove to me that the Norse, Greek or Roman gods were not real.

Believing in something because "Why wouldn't you just in case?" is called Pascal's Wager. I doubt. I am not saying you are wrong. At least I am intellectually honest enough to say "I don't know" and just take it on faith alone.

And it exactly the Christians in the United States who are trying, through a useful idiot installed at the top level, to change this country fundamentally. No bibles in schools, no silly creationism should be taught, and any teaching on the nature of morality should include more than ten rules supposedly written on stone tablets by the finger of god. What a weird dungeons and dragons way of looking at the world. (that last bit was a bit judgy, but I tire of having to explain to people that being a skeptic is not a character flaw)

Slow your roll Tex.

I don't hate the bible. I just don't lend it the reverence and creedence that you do. I know that there is evidence for a historical Yeshua, but I doubt the veracity of the story as related in the religious text. I am not here to discuss that, however, I just don't understand the hatred that this group has and expresses with such viciousness.

I don't buy in to any of the Abrahamic religions, or any other organized, systemic means of oppression through guilt, repression of knowledge, and consolidation of wealth.

I don't even remotely care if you do, it is your right as a free citizen of the United States. Just don't try to force your beliefs on everyone else.

The hadron collider DOES NOT refer to anything regarding a revolt against Hadrian...your word salad is tiring...

A "hadron collider" is a large particle accelerator designed to collide subatomic particles called "hadrons" (like protons) at very high speeds

You anti-semites try too hard sometimes, not everything is tied to your hatred of people. You live sad pathetic lives...

absolutely not....even if you take the questionable fact that Jesus may never have existed at all, and that the "son of god" thing is highly questionable...I never understand this argument from bible believing christians

The religion would not exist without the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, the entire story centers around the blood of "the lamb" being sacrificed to atone for the sins of man. An adversarial relationship with the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and defying some of the Mosaic Law to bring in the new covenant is the crux (no pun intended) of the story.

His sacrifice and resurrection (according to the story anyway), thereby overcoming death itself to offer his followers a "loophole" so that humanity with its sin nature can be admitted to paradise and be in the presence of god is the whole reason the story exists.

Technically, by the way, the Romans are the ones who crucified Jesus as the King Herod and the temple establishment did not have a capital punishment option. Why do you not hate the Romans?

Also, why make it visible? I mean, I get it if they were trying to change the climate, but which choice is it? Is it mind control chemicals?

Those rings around the sun are optical effects, just like a rainbow, if you grew up in the north you might even call them sundogs.

But you know, we are not dealing with the best and the brightest on this sub, now are we?

Could not get back to this until today. You are, of course, right about the fetus v embryo correction. I made a mistake.

I have also made a mistake in engaging in this banter with you, for you are stuck solidly in your beliefs, which I admire. I still reject the idea that one must have some external source for morality, but I guess I am loathe to present a cogent argument for such a belief.

Good day to you.

You have presented many OPINIONS based on your worldview. Aborting a FETUS...not a baby, you cannot freeze a baby and still have it be viable, once a fetus is viable, at about 17 - 20 weeks, and even that is early, more like 22 weeks, it then has the ability to live independently from the mother, that is a viable human. Until then it has the proper DNA to be a human, but not the ability to live on it's own.

I know that you will reject this view, and you are right to have your beliefs and opinions, and I would never do anything to impune.

I had forgotten the work of Hume, and that was a good rebut

I feel we are at an impasse. Your point about human sacrifice is interesting, but from the view of the practitioners of that ancient practice, was it not done for the greater good? Heinous though it may seem to modern worldviews and practices. It is the same with abortion, some (not me as you might suspect) may see it as serving a good, but you do not, who is right?

Here's the thing, I could try my best to justify my positions on the inherency of good and evil, but to what end? Am I trying to convince you to not believe what you believe? Never. I would never do that.

There are things I quite like about the blood sacrifice, supplanting the sacrifice of the lamb by the ancient Hebrews with the ultimate sacrifice of the purported son of YHWH, because mankind is so flawed that without that atonement they could not possibly meet the criteria to stand in the presence of their preferred deity of reverence is a brilliant idea.

The Maunday Thursday worship service is a beautiful time of reverence, and I do enjoy attending it from time to time. It is, to my thinking (and this is only an opinion, not based in any liturgy) the only time in the Christian year that it is appropriate to take communion.

I make no distinction from those that believe in the symbolism of the act, the bread v wafer, the grape juice v wine arguments are moot as far as I am concerned. The blood cult weirdness I referred to is more pointed at those the believe in the literal transmutation of the bread to the body and the wine to the blood. Take your communion with hershey bars and sprite for all I care, the symbolism is what is important. I do apologize for the diminishing term "weird" in my first post. Just because I find it that way is of no consequence.

Having a philosophical bent, especially in regards to the Socratic Method, I question that which I am presented with. I have rejected the idea in my head, and mine alone, that the "sin nature" of man as taught by modern evangelicalism is errant. To me, it shifts the blame away from the person committing the act to an external source, which is never healthy for a mentally well person. I know that you will counter with that is what the atonement is about, taking responsibility for your trespasses and asking for forgiveness, but I put this argument against this idea forth.

Imagine if you will a person who murders a child, worst than that, molests and violates this child to the extent that it dies. The child is aware of the person who did the deed and knows them. This person goes to prison, commits many other heinous acts over the course of their life, and recants on the deathbed, ask for forgiveness, which according to modern christian theology, is granted simply because they asked. Assuming a heaven, this person arrives and the very child betrayed has to share an eternity with their abuser and murderer?

This I cannot abide.

Good v Evil is too easy, Good and Evil are the opposite ends of a spectrum, with most of humanity hoping, like I am, that I will do just as much good in the world as I do harm. I know that Christianity says that I cannot achieve paradise through works alone, that I must pledge fealty to a god that I am unsure even exists, a fact that no one who is still alive can confirm. I choose agnosticism, it does not matter to me whether or not god exists or not, and if (they) do and I do not follow what I see to be a very confining path, and in the (afterlife) I am rejected from paradise, so be it. I know in my heart that I am a good person.

People who know nothing of religion KNOW inherently when something is considered a GOOD act. The opposite, I believe , is also true. People inherently KNOW when something is wrong. The problem here is exacerbated by mental illness and sociopathy. Not nurturing our young in loving homes is causing many of the problems that plague society. Organized religion has done very little throughout history to make a dent in this issue. Abuse, institutional or familial, has created people whose maladjusted thoughts cannot be cured with platitudes from a set of books written by MEN, some of then hundreds of years after the events they purport to be eyewitness accounts of.

Phew....have to take a break...

I am sure that you will have problems with what I have written, but my screed is not to convince or even explain. It is simply a statement of beliefs.
