The trend is obvious. Not to you, apparently. You have not posted one shred of proof I am wrong. Just the usual begging the question.

Because he is an a##ehole, like a few on ASEAN. They just want to be famous too.

I already have, and posted it. You've got nothing, apart from bluster. Let me guess - you were a schoolyard bully as a kid?

Facts from a scientific body to back up your assertion?

Some recent ones, perhaps? I suspect the ones from the last dozen decades would be rather thin pickings.

The concept of original sin is unique to the Christian religion. It's some God, that thinks helpless babies are capable of sinning.

Stop talking nonsense. It's the hottest June on record, plus 1.4 degrees C compared to average zero 1850 - 1900. The trending year on year is blindingly obvious. Source: Berkeley Earth. climate(2).html

The electrical energy required to propel a vehicle 400 km is 60 kWh. Maybe more, if it is a luxury vehicle. One can ship an ICE vehicle from Europe to America with a couple of litres of gasoline in the fuel tank. OTOH, one can't ship an EV with one or two kWh in the battery, as it may become inconveniently immobile during transfer operations. Even at 30 kWh, it's a hell of a lot of stored energy. Plenty of evidence electrical fires are extremely difficult to extinguish. Schiller said it best, against stupidity the gods themselves strive in vain. Thanks for the confirmation.

I would point out Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church are working hand in glove to convince Russians the war in Ukraine is righteous. Your statement is valid, as far as look over there goes. How much evil do you think is ongoing, from the refusal of the Catholic church to accept contraception with condoms, and maintaining celibacy among priests?

It is ludicrous when claims are made about Greta Thunberg being brainwashed into belief in climate change, despite ample factual evidence for said belief. No doubt some of the same deniers cheerfully send their children to religious instruction, with no supporting evidence.

Occam's razor. There's a ship on the bottom of the Atlantic to support the hypothesis.

IMO they are far outnumbered by dumb Christians and Muslims, Judaism appears to be an exception.

If you add up the number of Nobel prize winners in what I call the hard sciences - physics, chemistry, biology etc., over 200 are of the Jewish faith. In contrast, there are only two Muslims. Given the disparity in numbers - 44 million Jews world-wide, vs 1.4 billion Muslims, I wonder if Muslims lost their way in religious dogma.

No, you don't. In point of fact, atheists are fond of labeling agnostics as namby-pamby, and lacking strength of conviction. Effectively making atheism a religion of its own. All religions are a matter of belief, are they not? I assume you have heard of Arthur C Clarke, a giant of science and science fiction. I recommend you read one of his many books, "Childhood's End", if you have not already. Although Clarke identified as an atheist, deism was a topic frequently visited in his novels.

Just curious - can you name some famous scientists who were or are Muslims? It does seem rather strange God should be so selective of the Christian faith.

I do not have the arrogance to assert the presence or absence of a supreme being. I am an agnostic, which means I simply don't know. I do know I regard all forms of organized religion as anathema, due to the evils they have visited and continue to visit on the world.

I haven't heard of any ICE vehicle being able to sink or seriously damage a ship. Latest headline. Once is happenstance, twice is suspicious. The third time it is enemy action. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66310280

It was a joke, Joyce.

I have hallucinations about forum members without ingesting anything. There are orange mushrooms with orange gills that are not poisonous. After boiling in water, they smell and taste like freshly baked bread. They are most commonly found under pine trees. Given the location of the fungi, more likely to be poisonous. fungi.webp

Unless you are illiterate, it's difficult not to read about the inquiries that are going on into the conduct of our troops in terms of civilians, in the countries you mention. AFAIK no Australian has been declared a war criminal, Putin already has. If you think Russians here are going to be celibate w.r.to the local lassies, I have a bridge in a harbor I'd like to sell you. Your usual pathetic attempt at trolling.

You need 2.

I was wondering when a Putin apologist would surface. Murdering civilians with missiles and drones would make most people Russiaphobic. Now that Putin has also weaponized food ( grain exports ) it will be interesting to see how the hungry react.

I am wondering whether there will be an increase in crime statistics.

Take up a sport. Are your strengths hand-eye co-ordination, or balance? Buy a scooter. You won't be bored in Thai traffic. Juggle 2 or 3 GF's, I guarantee life won't be dull.

Tourists my aching butt. Olympic-grade euphemism. They are refugees - the wealthier ones. Not many Russians of military age want to be thrown into the meat grinder of Ukraine, presumably they are seeing the body bags coming back. I forget who said you can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time. You can't fool all people all of the time.
