Nearly 400 officers rushed to the site, but police waited over an hour to confront the attacker. The report was published on Sunday.

If politico-religious disagreements count then Trump's Muslim Ban/ 'Muslim Ban' was more recent (iirc). Bit of a one man band on the pro Trump side, but then so was Qistina.

No the Muslim Ban wasnt a religious debate, it was about Trumpism and Qistina I doubt was a real person.

Gfted1 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I have a few more religious questions then: 1) Does the soul age after death? Are all the Uvalde children forevermore trapped as children? 2) Assuming the soul is a "snapshot" of your personality at the time of death, what happens if you suffer brain damage before you die? Is your soul personality forevermore trapped in a vegetative / retarded state? 3) Do only humans have souls?

I'm an atheist that largely became so because as a 13 year old I found many of the explanations to be inconsistent and/or bull****. My assessment is that our understanding of any sort of heaven or hell is firmly rooted in projecting what we consider rewarding and punishment as human beings. For example, the supposed suffering of Hell are things that are very understandable from a human perspective (burning, having our physical bodies tortured, etc). But it's not one based on any sort of scripture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
