1 & 2) I'm saying that morality, etc, comes from God, without him you can't have it. You say "ah, but i do have it". Right, because you aren't without God. You are actually living in God's universe which is why it makes sense that you are a moral person, as this universe was created by a moral, first-cause, person. So the question for you is according to your worldview how do you account for an objective morality, for personhood, etc. It's not enough to simply assert that you believe in them. I agree that you do, I just think you don't believe in the foundation for them.

3) Your understanding of Christianity is pretty ad hoc. God is referred to as the one true God, the only God, and the living God, implying the other "gods" are false, nonexistent, or "dead" by comparison. You shall have no other gods before me is extremely relevant as the recipients of the commandment then go on to worship other gods again and again. I think we both agree that worshiping something doesn't make it real.

Ba'al makes no appearances. He is worshipped, he has followers, he has prophets, but he is never portrayed as being a being. Obviously Ba'al worshippers would believe him to be, but that's not the position of the bible. The story of Elisha on mt carmel is relevant for Yahweh vs Ba'al.

Dagon is a fish god and the god of philistines, sea people, but also of Ninevahites. We see dagon's temple destroyed by samson, we see dagon's statue toppled by God in 1 Samuel 5, and we see a metaphoric defeat of dagon when Jonah, swallowed by a great fish (dagon?) is then spit out on land and ninevah repents and follows Yahweh. The great fish was of course just an animal used by God and not another deity.

I don't understand your reference to the Moabites. Ahab is a wicked king, but nonetheless Elisha says that God will give them victory over the moabites...then they go and slaughter a bunch of moabites. That's hardly an example of yahweh losing.

I'll admit the Jacob wrestling thing is weird. He loses the wrestling match, but somehow also has the power to strike Jacob's hip and make him lame? Also God doesn't have a body so how's a wrestling match work? Regardless Jacob is a follower and worshipper of God so he doesn't seem to have lost respect for Yahweh in their tussle?

Chariots of iron: Unstoppable! I think it's clear that Judah is the one who is stopped by the chariots and not God. Of course the question is if God is with him to conquer the one spot, then why not the other? I don't know. It's a side note and not a main story line. There are tens if not hundreds of examples of God giving his people military victory in a large variety of ways, so it doesn't seem like the point of the text was to indicate God having a specific weakness like cryptonite.

The Bible clearly teaches that God knows and sees all. You are smart enough to know that asking questions does not indicate you don't know something...or are you?

As far as evidence for the resurrection you can read Lee Strobel's The case for christ

Also Ravi giving a more eloquent treatment than I can

Just FYI the apostle Paul is with people when he sees his vision, immediately goes to stay with other Christians (who he was on his way to persecute), and then later meets up and argues theology with Jesus's apostles. At no point is he alone or murdering people who disagree with him or enforcing conversion by sword point or marrying a dozen wives, or burning cities. Very much different than Mohammed.

They are indeed partial tang, with plastic handles (like cutcos), and no rivets. The funny part is that it'll still outperform the cutcos, but if those things matter to you: https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Inch-Rosewood-Chefs-Knife/dp/B0019WZEUE

Here, same knife with rosewood handles, rivets, full tang construction, and it's $3 less than the fibrox version.

Victorinox has a lifetime warranty on defects and has a great reputation for sometimes even honoring the warranty when a knife fails from user abuse. Yes I know all about the gimmicky "infinity guarantee" and it can indeed sound like an absolutely amazing warranty to the uneducated buyer. Unfortunately once you realize that you are paying ~50x what the knives are actually worth it doesn't sound so awesome anymore. And for sharpening, I pay $3 for my 2 knives over 6 inches and $2 for the 3 under once a year to have them sharpened. That's $3 more than cutco charges for the shipping cost, and if I bought the full victorinox set for $160 vs the 6 piece set from cutco for $676 it would cost $16/year to sharpen all of them or 32 years to break even.

Btw, I know it looks like I'm obsessed about the fibrox knives or something, but I wouldn't even personally buy them for myself (although I have for friends just getting into cooking). The fibrox line is a great budget level knife line, but for only $20-30 more a knife you start being able to grab a MAC, Global, or Tojiro DP knives that are as much better than the fibrox as the fibrox is to cutcos. I'm simply using it to demonstrate just how much of a ripoff Cutcos are even when compared to a budget level knife.

We're all a little nuts here :) I'm happy that you, too, are trying to work on it and improve your life, and I wish you the best of luck!

If you're interested, my husband started DBT a few months back with his therapist and has been using this workbook, which seems to be helping him. We also just discovered this series of posts, which helped him express some things to me and helped me to conceptualize what's going on in his head and what I can do.

> Yeah, I sure wish I had a dash cam.

a complete cheapass cam runs $20 and is better than nothing. (not an endorsement, but I found this searching amazon: https://www.amazon.com/econoLED-Dashboard-Rotatable-Camcorder-Recording-No/dp/B07F12HB47/ ). A good camera is ~$120 and a few hours to wire in.

I eat a lot of spicy food, as do a few of my friends.

What started out as "Can you handle this" turned into "This Megadeth Hot Sauce is delicious on wings."

Get a few cheap cameras and point them out windows where your dog plays. These are $25 and we have 2 of them. They works great. They just need wifi and power.

While taking the trouble to get a special box they probably could have gotten one that was sound or wireless proof. This box looks neat -

"liquid ass" I'm pretty sure you can get it at any prank store.

I'd argue for the Paper Mate Inkjoy pens in black, its the best pens I've ever used, and they go quick at work. Here's a link, if interested

I'm not a drone pilot, but I know Google a bit.

These are two hexacopters with 2 orange rotors I found:
WLToys V323
Walkera QR Y100, although this is a small one
Flyer's Bay X12Lh

But it's pretty easy to swap regular rotors to orange rotors, so maybe this is all in vain.

No, sorry. To the best of my knowledge Grammer only exists as a proper noun.

I don't know of a specific single word for a book of grammar rules, that would usually just be called 'Grammar Rules' or something more entertaining like "Grammar: Know Your Shit or Know You're Shit".

In case you didn't hear about it, this book is excellent: the Memory Illusion.

> Rose and I got off on the wrong foot to start with - a debate on art going off hand, as I found her imagining Christian motifs and theology in Picasso.

Not to be pedantic, but Dude there are entire BOOKS devoted to this subject:

If it was me I'd leave him a wooden nickel. If I was feeling generous maybe I'd leave him two...

Might I recommend leaving him with this?

it will strike a chord. It's a fun read.

[Here's a link: Lux ET50 Digital Washable Timer] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000CFUCP?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf).

Can shower in 5 minutes in a pinch, but have 15 minutes? Set the timer for 5-10 minutes, enjoy soaking in the water, pondering hypothetical scenarios, etc. Timer goes off, freak out and realize you'll be late if you don't get moving, finish your shower and hop out.

haha yeah, remember that one.
