I say there is one true god.
And the true anti-god is whatever you are currently worshipping.
The true god will punish you in the afterlife for you did devil workship.

Show me wrong.
Proof me wrong.
my true god who considers your god to be the anti-god has the same evidence as whatever you are currently worshipping.

@boghan i claim these to be two different entities.
My evidence is nothing (that's my point). It's best to not believe in any of them since both are creations of my mind I made them up and it's probably good to give noone this power over ones mind.

You say that the entities are equivalences of each other. Even if so the riddle still works. It doesn't rely on the gods being separate entities. The current worshippers will be punished from the "true god" simply for not guessing correctly

@boghan your (not-anti) god has no evidence so there's no reason to believe in it.
The god has no evidence for it, therefore it's prudent to believe in either one of the imaginary spirits.

But you say there's evidence and I'm willing to believe you. What evidence? You can link to it, send a photo, whatever is easiest.
It can be a burning bush, a prophecy a ray of light or whatever else suffices to show the existence of god. No need to show me an old man on a cloud. I'm happy with anything

@boghan i've researched Alex O'Connors fine tuning argument and it appears to be identical to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchmaker_analogy or "intelligent design".

We have lots of evidence of evolution creating complex organs and species with unsuited organs dying off.

That argument is old as hell and the argument is not sound.
We observe something (complex beings).
We have idea 1 in the race (evolution) and idea 2 of an intelligent design created by an god.
We have a bunch of evidence for idea 1 but why…

@boghan ... why should "god" be the creator of the design?
why not a sentient rock? why not zeus?

Why should "god" be the creator and not "zeus" or my made-up "anti-god"?
I'm not aware of evidence why it should be your god and not a yet to be discovered sentient rock.
Millions of people believe(d) in sentient rocks and rock trolls to borrow your call from authority from earlier.

Thanks for naming an argument & source.
What makes this idea 2 more complling(=evidence) than the other ideas?

@boghan i'm not sure who "almost everyone agrees" refers to.
Billons of currently living humans are explicitly NOT believing in the abrahamic god.

Who's "almost everyone"?
Your peer group?
Theologicans?

I certainly don't believe in any abrahamic god as decribed by bible / koran / thora.

Almost everyone (in east germany) agrees there's no god.
East germany is pretty atheistic that's why I mention it. I could just have said "my peer group" or any other group

@boghan Yes I said there's no evidence. Perhaps everyone else things there is a chance of a non-zero amount of evidence. Ok. Perhaps a technicality but I am willing to update my stance on this: I'm not denying there's evidence. I'm saying there's not strong enough evidencs to be relevant in any legitimate discussion of the topic.

The evidence needs to be enough to be more evidence than alternative ideas. That's not unfair that's how reasoning works ("epistemiology" more or less)

@boghan Billons of currently living humans are explicitly NOT believing in the abrahamic god (not really convincing I am just saying this due to your "everyone agrees" mention).

In the past I spoke about evidence.
I said there's no evidence for god without knowing that.

Without any ulterior motive: the idea with the most evidence wins. I don't really want to fight about "no evidence" versus "little evidence".
We have strong reasons to believe deities are not existing.

@SlicerDicer @feld @MHS_Jenkins @straphanger i still want metric time

10 hours a day
*100 minutes
*100 seconds.

The french probably stopped chopping heads too early lest we could have gotten metric time.

Sure the seconds might be a bit longer but that duration was never attached to any nature phenomena.

@feld @SlicerDicer @MHS_Jenkins @straphanger yeah I used hp here as a proxy for engine strength.
torque are required to get the weight moving.

and here in germany we moved away from measuring PS and into kW which is physically quite dandy

@SlicerDicer @feld @MHS_Jenkins @straphanger online it says the american model ford f-150 of 2025 has 400 horsepower.
That's a lot more than the cars I previously used to move stuff.
You will figure it out

I know the european variants of ford are of much higher quality due to local demand but I read that on an US website

@SlicerDicer @feld @MHS_Jenkins @straphanger how come trucks (depicted below) can move 40 tonnes load with what I have read online to be 250 hp and then you argue a car with twice the prowess can't transport ¼ of that.
Makes no sense to me.
Perhaps we're speaking of different measurements.

@SlicerDicer @feld @MHS_Jenkins @straphanger well I don't have a license to haul 40 tonnes (88185 lb)
with my license I can only move 7 tonnes (15432 lb).
This includes the weight of the vehicle itself (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zul%C3%A4ssige_Gesamtmasse).

I'm sorry but you can't say "not even" and then say Ford.
There are car companys who actually build competent cars.

You say yourself you already hauled 24000 lb (10.9 t) thus showing it is possible.

@feld @SlicerDicer @MHS_Jenkins @straphanger plus you gotta store the trailer somewhere

@feld @SlicerDicer @MHS_Jenkins @straphanger so americans just don't want or know trailers?

If I want to move up to 7 tonnes then I grab a trailer and attach it to the car.

@pluralistic i love this sentence:

It perfectly encapsulates the vibe of the current trend and everyone is just waiting (and hoping) for it to die eventually

@molly0xfff a newsletter is just a mailing list with only admins being able to send, right?

Erneut Gedanken, welche ich publizieren wollen würde, welche länger sind als 500 Zeichen, welche zum Dialog anregen sollen, sehr persönliche Philosophie darstellt und nicht nach wenigen Wochen gelöscht werden sollen wie's auf Mastodon der Fall ist.

Damals wollte ich ein kleines #Hugo auf eigener Hardware aufsetzen und publizieren aber die Hardware ist aktuell auf unbestimmte Zeit niedergelegt und ein weiterer Masto-Account oder Blogspot falls es das noch gibt wär wohl ganz gut

John Wayne, 1949
mit Short Shorts, diesen Schuhen und Männerhandtasche (heute _Murse_).

Das Foto ist interessant weil es wirkt so anachronistisch.
Unsere Vorstellung von Werten sei es Männlichkeit oder Mode war schon immer komplex und spannend.

Ich denke an Gespräche mir einer ehemaligen Pick-me welche diesen Tradwife-Gedanken feierte. Selbst sagte sie, dass es ihr nun furchtbar peinlich ist …

… allerdings können wir alle es doch nachvollziehen, in einer komplexen unscharfen Welt sich an etwas festhalten zu wollen, nicht wahr? Seien es traditionellen Werte ausgedacht von Marketingleuten welche nichts mit der Geschichte zu tun haben oder Moralvorstellungen aus einer Zeit wo nur die Monarchen ihre Moralvorstellungen aufschreiben konnten oder beliebige Autoritätsfiguren seien es Eltern oder Influencer oder was auch immer John Wayne in meiner Phantasie war.
