Did you see highlights from the last tesla event in texas? When Elon was on the stage. There were women in the crowd crying as if it was a Michael Jackson or Justin Bieber concert. That is sort of scary. But other than that, I don't understand why people think they should fear the smart geek in the room. Intelligent people with money and power are usually not dangerous. They only want to do their geeky things and don't bother people. Its the opposite type of person with money and power that we perhaps should fear. As they are more likely to do something irrational and unreasonable.

Scary how? Curious as to the path people take to arrive at their conclusions.

Elon Musk has always made it fairly clear that he is an atheist. The woke agenda however has alienated many atheists who have converted to christianity. Its possible Elon will go that route as others have.

Not a whole lot of information available with this story. What's a good source of news in 2022? Breitbart?

Gene therapy, human cloning or zombies. Or perhaps he had an identical twin who will assume his role. What is revelation if not the most clickbait book in the bible.

This can bring out the best in people, or the worst. Over time human morality along with our principles and values have evolved. Perhaps this type of conflict is the motivation we need to reach the next level in learning to treat our fellow man better. And in the process, learning to treat ourselves better as well.

I guess it means the church will save a massive number of people from seeing hell's gates.

In this world, there are usually no tangible rewards offered for those who speak the truth. While those who speak lies have piles of money thrown at them. The path of material reward based motivation is more atheist than christian. Although atheists do not necessarily live well or thrive over the long term to enjoy their ill gotten gains which usually come at the expense of corruption, greed and misery. If christians receive rewards they would be received in heaven and last forever. While rewards of the earth are only temporary. But I think that the best christian mindset is to do the right thing and not expect a reward for it.

It is very important for christians to learn the basics and educate themselves on topics like this.

While quality of information is decreasing. Through people knowing less about history, finance and politics. The quantity of information people are exposed to is rising steeply. Through commercials, emails, txts, mobile phones, internet. Its easy to forget that people of past eras didn't know what germs were. And lacked basic knowledge about human sanitation and hygiene. While we might look around us and comment upon a perceived lack of intelligence by others making us feel smart. Those of past eras were considerably less knowledgeable about many things in contrast to even the less educated person alive today. Only 2 years ago, liberals in the united states were saying no one in the country needed to own a gun. Then the pandemic came along in 2020 and liberals began buying guns in record numbers. Lessons relating to history, Constitution and democracy are not difficult to learn. People only need to see their real world application.

Isn't it normal for people to have different motives, ideas, values and beliefs. Resulting in different denominations. On the opposite end of the spectrum you have atheists. Who typically lack that type of individuality. Which is preferable?

I think to properly put the bible and religion into perspective. Requires a decent knowledge of history. It all depends on how curious they are and how much they want to know. Most seem satisfied knowing nothing and its ok if they prefer it that way. Knowing basic science and history isn't necessarily for everyone.

We definitely must take a broad perspective on scripture. Else we miss obvious connections. Like God asking Abraham to walk into the wilderness 7 days to sacrifice Isaac. Before Jesus was sacrificed and resurrected on the 7th day.

Quoras entry on the topic is disappointing. Perhaps recent upticks in lies however, will help us all to appreciate the value of truth.

People want things to improve for society, the country and the world. They want to achieve these goals by knowing as little about current events and politics as possible. Lack of knowledge on history, science and current events leaves people powerless to do anything other than be fooled into supporting all the wrong people and wrong things.

I'm not certain if I agree 666 in revelation refers to Nero as many claim. I don't think that the euphrates river dried up during that era fulfilling prophecy. As well as other signs. Revelation is a topic I avoid as the prime reason for discussing it is usually extremely negative. People don't read revelation as motivation to become more self sufficient or prepare for the coming of the Lord. They discuss revelation for other reasons which are usually not so noble. Making it a negative rather than a positive.

If God breathed life into the 1st people. Some portion of the divinity is always with us, everywhere that people are found.

OP I think the story of Lazarus could apply here. Lazarus passed away before Jesus died for our sins. The bible says Lazarus resided in heaven with Abraham, if I remember correctly.

Gay marriage is a divisive issue. Political opponents want christians to oppose gay marriage so they can paint believers as being oppressive and hateful. If freedom of religion isn't a slippery slope allowing paganism and evil to thrive, why should anyone fear the implications of gay marriage. People should have the freedom to marry just as they have the freedom to worship any deity of their choice.

People love to be cocky and confident. But we tend to forget that true confidence and faith can only exist and be justified in times of crisis. Everyone can now rejoice in having the perfect setting to illustrate the reason they spent so many years putting on airs of being a confident and cocky badass. The bible warns us 2,000 years ago hard times will come and that we should always try to be prepared. 2,000 years of warning was not enough it seems. We got caught unprepared with our pants down, despite being warned about things like this 2,000 years ago. Imagine the sheer scale of it.

If Lucifer didn't become incapable of evil by being the most powerful angel. Could mortal man become incapable of evil through having the holy spirit. People search for an exit strategy to avoid the struggle. But the struggle is what people need to bring their best out of them.

There are frogs in nature who can switch genders depending on conditions. If there is a shortage of females in the wild, males will alter their gender to balance things out. It is possible the earth is overpopulated with people. In the 1950s the population was 2.5 billion. Today its slated to reach 8 billion. If 70 years the population of people on earth has near to tripled with no indications of slowing. Massive species extinction is occurring as a result of human population growth. Nature and the environment are becoming unbalanced. The rise of homosexuality could help curb the birth rate and reverse population growth. Pollution also is known to reduce human fertility and birth rates by as much as 50% according to some statistics I have seen. If all of the ice in antarctica melts, sea levels could rise more than 200 feet. While human population growth hasn't yet caused an apocalyptic event. We're certainly headed in that direction. On the conservative right wing end of the political spectrum, Milo Yiannopoulus and Blaire White have to be two of the more solid and reliable people and they're both LGBT. And so I'm not seeing much evidence for it being a birth defect.

Edited by Omegaman 3.0 This post was made in the video section, which is for posting videos, not really for posting articles that have links to websites which have videos. Therefore, I have added the following video to the post, and the original post follows that with an article. “Patagonia’s founder recently made news when he gave away the ownership in his company to allow the mission and purpose to remain intact… I experienced a similar decision-making process with my ownership of Hobby Lobby; I chose God,” Hobby Lobby CEO David Green wrote in an op-ed for Fox News last month. During an interview on Sunday’s “Fox & Friends Weekend,” Green told anchor Will Cain that his calling is to be a steward rather than an owner. “There’s a huge paradigm change between owning a company and stewarding it, and we want to be stewards of what God has given us,” Green told Fox News. Green, who founded Hobby Lobby in 1972, told Cain that 100 percent of the company’s voting stock was placed into a trust where the “stewardship” can continue to be conveyed from one person to another. “All the voting stock is in 1 percent in its trust, and it is being managed and being stewarded instead of seeing ourselves as owners,” he continued. Green also says that giving up ownership of Hobby Lobby helps honor God “tremendously” because it alleviates the burden of wealth. “Wealth can be a curse and, in most cases, if you drill down on it, wealth is a curse in terms of marriage, children, and things of that nature; so we’re stewarding our company and, therefore, our children come to work, and they get what they earn… it’s a paradigm change from ownership that can really wreck a family,” he explained. “You own it, then we’re going to steward it,” Green continued, referring to God’s ownership of all things. In his opinion piece, Green urged business leaders to examine their source of truth and stressed the importance of tithing. “For me, my source of truth has always been prayer and the Bible. I truly believe that if leaders pray and seek truth from the Bible that their businesses will be revolutionized,” he wrote. “For instance, the Bible talks about giving a tithe or 10 percent… Can you imagine what would happen if every top leader in business became a tither? There would be literally billions available for good work around the world.” He also encouraged readers to read a chapter from the book of Proverbs daily and continued to stress the necessity of stewardship. “The biggest challenge is to ask the question of whether you are an owner or a steward – a manager of what you’ve been entrusted with,” Green wrote. “From the very beginning, our purpose was to honor God in all that we did. We worked hard, and God gave us the results. As we were blessed by God, we saw it as a great privilege to give back. We’ve been able to provide hope through supporting ministries and planting churches all over the world.” It’s admirable that David Green realizes when it’s time to step back and make more time for God in his life. We should all hope to have that self-awareness in our lives. https://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/inspirationreport/2022/11/hobby-lobby-ceo-david-green-gives-up-ownership-of-company-for-god.html I'm still bummed radio shack went bankrupt. Now it seems the future of hobby lobby may also be in jeopardy with those who understand the business most stepping away. That said, it is very nice to see a corporate CEO and founder of a successful large business acknowledge God. Perhaps it is something we will see more of in the future.

That must be fustrating. Especially for those who travel with suitcases of money, which could be confiscated.
