The story started out as a two vehicle accident where the one vehicle had 5 naked people inside it. But then it got weirder. I still don't really know what to think. Is it humorous or just plain weird?
Edited to add: It was -20C on Saturday and if we were lucky enough it was -10C (14F) when this happened. Naked people in the middle of winter is just plain odd, nevermind the rest of the story.
EnochWalked: "spent much of his career working alongside psychologist Amos Tversky" "Both men were atheist grandsons of Lithuanian rabbis" "During World War II, he was forced to wear a Star of David after Nazi German forces occupied [Paris] in 1940."

EnochWalked: www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-selling-bibles-christians-fury-1883972 Nice to see a secular article quote the Bible: "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and ... if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Timely.

EnochWalked: www.thedailybeast.com/the-utter-ridiculousness-of-trump-bibles "The criminally indicted, twice-divorced, sexual-assaulting ex-president doesn’t have many people left to con —so he’s going back to evangelicals as his marks." Interesting word: "marks"

EnochWalked: "For those wondering why the price point is so high, a site dedicated solely to selling the books notes that it’s “the only Bible endorsed by President Trump.” Not like those other worthless Bibles that aren’t endorsed by Trump." Did he change the text?

EnochWalked: "the Earth has begun to spin faster in recent decades, a temporary trend that has prompted scientists for the first time to consider subtracting a single “negative leap second” from clocks worldwide as soon as 2026."

leewiggins63: we had a penumbral lunar eclipse on Monday, March 25, 2024 at 3:13 a.m. ET at 5 degrees and 13 seconds of Libra. I didn't know about this one.

leewiggins63: I think its common to have this within 2 weeks of the total eclipse.

Servant: Uh. I can't remember but wasn't it mentioned in the Bible that if one word was altered in any way then that person will be denied salvation?
Mar 27, 2024 22:50:34 GMT -6
EnochWalked: That's a bit of a dangerous idea, Servant. It goes against "once saved, always saved" (although that's a controversial doctrine itself), and might give people the wrong idea that past sins (even sins committed against them) can make them unredeemable.

EnochWalked: Oh, sorry, I misread your comment. That's a little ironic. I thought you were talking about a person being altered, not the words themselves. I guess you're thinking of Rev. 22:19 "if any man shall take away from the words of the book..."
Mar 28, 2024 8:39:51 GMT -6
Servant: Sorry, I should be more clear. Yes, it is from Rev. 22:19. I was concerned about anyone who would do that. To me, being apart from God is Hell. Sorry everyone. I didn't mean to mislead any of you.
Mar 28, 2024 11:09:55 GMT -6
EnochWalked: No worries, Servant. I don't think you misled anyone, and I should have read your comment more carefully before jumping to conclusions. Still, I'm glad we've cleared that up, and thanks for reminding us of that interesting verse.

EnochWalked: www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-794210 A disturbing article where a terrorist confesses to a military "interrogation" unit that he was demonically influenced. Prisoners will confess to anything under duress, but this sounds believable.
