What about people afraid of jellyfish? They're older than bones

When Charlie Kirk died my attitude was "I'm glad he's stopped doing what he was doing, but I'm sad that it took him dying for that to happen". My attitude with Trump will likely be similar.

Trains is the factorio version of "evolve into crab"

Our photographer is a family friend of mine, and he did the photography for another friend's wedding a year before ours, so we knew he was good.

Assuming both use on board combustion engines, yes. But a train connected to a majority green energy power grid is probably more carbon efficient than most boats.

I'd say it's more accurate to say the abuse of religion/abusive religion uses the abuse of anxiety. Yes, abusive religious organizations exist, and they all use anxiety about some cosmic punishment to excuse and enforce their abuse. I absolutely agree with you on their existence and how terrible they are.

I don't think that's universal and inherent to religion. There are religious groups that are simply good sources of community with either no focus on any cosmic punishment, or that don't agree that any "cosmic punishment" exists.

By Bayer, the same company that invented the first artificial fertilizer and aspirin, as well as the gasses used in both WW1 and the holocaust. They can't decide between making some of the best inventions of their time or some of the worst.

the reason they're kicked out is so that they don't eat from the immortality tree

I said that having eaten from the tree of good and evil put them in a state that humans were not designed to be in, so by kicking them out God is basically saying "it's better for them to die than it is for them to live forever like this"

If you're not looking for a genuine answer from a Christian, skip this.

First thing: the translation of "the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil" isn't really that good of a translation. It's closer to "the right to define good and evil. That means that eating the fruit is basically saying "fuck you, God. Imma do my own thing". That's not how God designed humans to live, and is incompatible to living alongside someone as powerful as God, which is why God told them not to eat it.

But why create that tree in the first place? Essentially, choice. When you're in the supermarket and you see 50 different flavors, but everything is from the same brand, do you really have any choice? Same thing with God. Unless you have the option of rejecting God, choosing to him means nothing.
