minus-squareNo1@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down2·edit-26 months agoI will die on a hill that says a banana is more good than an apple. Making the apple relatively more evil on the scale from good to evil. Others may prefer an apple. But I guess that is their free will to choose so 😉

minus-squareBreathingUnderWater@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoWasn’t the forbidden fruit in the garden of eden originally a fig or date or olive or something? It was changed to apple in the later translations. Something like that .

minus-squareDagwood222@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·6 months agoBy your logic, I could say there is no gravity, just an infinite number of invisible angles pushing things down.
minus-squareDagwood222@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·6 months agoYou asserted that there was no God. You’re unable to prove your claim. Now you’re resorting to an ad hominem attack. You have a right to say you don’t believe in God, but no way to prove it. And here’s a list of ad hominem attacks, so you can improve your logic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem
