Humans are weird because we can know something is proven to be true and still not do anything in response to it. Someone may have a task to get done, but they won't finish it despite knowing the consequences. Most people know fast food will harm them, but that doesn't stop people from eating it. And people still use Facebook despite its disregard for privacy. Each of these facts show that certain behaviors leads to consequences, but people won't change their actions. While some people may be able to act upon facts, everyone at some point will ignore some type of absolute truth because it is inconvenient. People do focus on a fact when what it describes happens, but even then will usually for

Obviously sin isn't a conscious being, but as a concept it seems to be the more long lasting evil.

My friend has been praising their youtube videos and I was wondering what you thought about them and if they are expressing Christian ideas.

By medium I mean: books, movies, video games, etc. Not including the Bible for obvious reasons.

The goal is for the rodent embryo to use the human cells to build itself a pancreas, and for two years, the team plans on watching these rodents develop and grow, carefully monitoring their organs and brains in the process. Only then will the researchers ask for approval to do the same with pigs.While human-animal embryos have been created in the past - such as pig-human embryos and sheep-human embryos - they've never been allowed to develop to term before. One of the biggest fears with this type of research centers on exactly where these human stem cells actually go in an ani

What I mean by this is the historical manipulation of Christian beliefs by worldly people for selfish purposes. Using their faith as a reason for superiority, claiming atrocities were God's will, killing those of different denominations or religions, etc.

I find the idea interesting. How do you think they would relate to God? Would there be other intelligent life? Could they possibly know about us? Would they have sins exclusive to them based off of their differences in biology?

Disclaimer: This topic is just for fun, I don't believe we will ever find major life on other planets.

If you know any intresting ones can you comment them here? It's for a project I'm making.

We're not supposed to see God as Lord of the universe alone. Doing this is a grave mistake. Our God is the God of the little places. Whether a cottage or a small room. The universe is to large for us to connect with and a god only of the universe is the same. Only a "little" God can become human and have a relationship with us. Therefore understanding that God is equally the Lord of a crack in a wall as a canyon is important to knowing who God is. Now of course this doesn't mean we should ignore His largeness as that is equally important. It's just that sometimes we lose this aspect in our zeal to exalt Him.

"Sometimes when you lose something, it is a reminder to thank God for the time you had it."

Shouldn't Automoderator message users without Christian flairs rather than replying with a comment?

I've heard so many conflicting views on this. I think He does, but I want to see what the subreddit thinks.
