Just an observation for visitors here, I'm in a comment thread with a user and he appears to think that insinuating that I will go to Hell if I don't agree with him is a reasonable response.

I do agree that it is a valid point from his view of things, since his faith does pretty clearly state that not believing results in a poor outcome, but apparently he now thinks that replying to every comment, whether it's dismissive or asking for more details about his point of view, with the same 'Believe or one day you will wish you had' is a way for him to convince me, or a good way to witness for the Lord.

Likely it's just self-preservation for his point of view so he doesn't have to defend it o

...accidentally misjudge and basically deliver an overhead roundhouse kick to the goalie's face.

Horrified by what I've done, I jump up and look directly down at him, stunned and looking back up to me. I stumble between saying 'Oh my god, Are you okay?' and 'I am so fucking sorry!' and in a rush to get the words out scream down at him 'ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY?!'

From a mainstream Christian perspective, would you define 'speaking in tongues' as:

  1. Speaking in a language that can be simultaneously understood by people no matter what language they natively spoke
  2. Suddenly speaking fluently in a language you've never had exposure to (only recognize but don't speak normally?)
  3. Speaking in language unfamiliar to anyone, but with a consistent language structure that could potentially be understood
  4. Speaking in relative gibberish with little to no similarities between different people who speak it and appears from outside to be random babbling or 'made up' on the spot

Biblically it seems like the original assertion of 'tongues' was 1. or maybe 2.,

The James Webb Telescope first image is described as:

“Webb’s image covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground”

How many images of the same size would it take to cover the entire field of view from earth, and how long would it take assuming the same exposure as this one and if stitched together, how big would the resulting file be?

If everything breaks down, how do I go about using and explaining silver as an exchange medium? Is it a longer term currency, like when things settle down? How does a relatively small community decide on the value? Do I wait until I think people consider it valuable enough before trying to exchange it for good/services? I mean obviously you all know its worth, but seems like friends and neighbors would much prefer to trade more useable goods?
