The Nicene Creed is NOT the definition of Christianity.
There have always (and I mean always) been sects of Christianity that reject core points in that. Even the most cursory delves into religious history makes that painfully obvious.
Mormons also own an insane amount of real estate.
You cannot pretend orthodox Christianity is all of Christianity. That’s ridiculous.
You’re twisting definitions. “Religion” is a widely applicable term, and just because somebody is doing something bad with a religion doesn’t invalidate its taxonomy.
Yes, Jesus, son of God, born to the Virgin Mary, died on the cross, resurrected. Then only AFTER his resurrection he was supposed to have visited the Americas very briefly.
It’s basically equivalent to Jesus appearing to Saul rather than his secret vacation in America.
I mean, not that there’s any evidence at all for anything in the Book of Mormon (quite the contrary) but that’s not the part that would be incompatible canonically.
I don’t think that’s quite true. (Happy to be proven wrong if somebody has better numbers than me.)
From what I can see the launch business generated $4.1 billion, but profits in that segment are negative because the $3 billion in Starship development costs are lumped in to that. The overall loss (-$600 million) would instantly turn into great profit if they decided to give up on Starship.
But for sure, xAi is a nightmare. Absolutely Elon trying to bail himself out again.
Starlink is massively profitable, look at their balance sheets. It’s very simple, their users pay them a lot of money to access the internet. Far, far more than the launch costs to maintain the constellation.
Their defense launch business is also profitable, though I haven’t checked how much.
The Starship development and stupid acquisitions (xai) have been a money pit though.
They literally are Christian, which is the belief in Jesus as the son of God. Full stop. Any other definition is intentionally designed by certain Christians to delegitimize other versions of Christianity.
The biblical canon was determined by several committees hundreds of years after Christianity was founded, and only explicitly formalized for Catholics in 1545! Heck the canon is STILL not fully agreed upon in Christian denominations. It’s clearly a terrible indicator for what defines a Christian.
Moreover, just because one religion decided to add to that canon does not inherently stop them from being Christian. It’s ALL made up, a little extra bullshit doesn’t make it any different.
Maybe this time big tech will think twice before paying for an actively harmful political party to gain power. These bridges all got burned and they’re not easily coming back.
Why didn’t Zuckerberg just instruct the AI to not be hackable? SMH my head
I think you guys forget how bad it was for queer people. The corpos are not creating division, that division already existed. And it’s way better than it used to be.
Strongly disagree. Normalizing queerness as acceptable (even if some people push back) is essential to change national culture. The motivation does not matter - normalization is critical.
Not too far off. The main character is a venerable 51.
Correct, which is why the media should post articles about IDF soldiers disavowing the IDF’s operations. This is NOT manufactured consent.
How is exposing the brainwashing of the IDF and showing soldiers that there is a path out a PR stunt? This is literally the opposite of manufacturing consent.
I can’t believe you are shaming people for abandoning and disavowing their bad behaviors. Do you actually want them to stop or not?
Pretty sure it uses Collabora, which is literally LibreOffice source code in a web shell.
Edit: just checked, they are using OnlyOffice as a base instead of the already European Collabora. Strange choice but so be it.
Yep, this effectively handed Musk complete dominance for another 12 months.
Let it rust.
Please, even a brief cursory search proves that Mormons aren’t the only Christians that denounce the Nicene Creed. If you aren’t even willing to do a simple Wikipedia search to verify your facts, this conversation isn’t worth continuing. Have a good day!
